I'd like to read
...I've never done a BR before, so be gentle! Also, I won't be able to do it until December or after as I've got November completely booked up. Let me know if that works for you!

Attn: MODSMargaret (the one from Poisonous Toads) and I have discussed BRs for the two books I have remaining on the request post. So, when you have a moment, can you set up threads for:
- November 16th start date
- November 19th start date.Thanks!
Margaret, I might be joining you and Amanda (and whomever else shows) in the Howard's End and Of Human Bondage reads. Two books that I've been wanting to get around to reading. I'll just play it by ear until I get the bulk of my other reads all completed.

Thanks for the heads-up Muffin! I'll set them up now.

I want to join in for this. Just got my copy of the book!
@Margaret - I would love to join in for Of Human Bondage with you and the others. Have read it long back and its time for a re-read.

Even if you read them a few months late, I'm sure there will be some members who would pop in and discuss the book with you :).

Sarah, I feel your pain! If we could clone ourselves...I have as many books planned for November as I usually read in a 2 or 3 month span.
This is madness!

I am definitely a classics reader, although they are going to be so much more fun to read with a buddy! I might jump in a few of the other as well if I can get copies, but I have
on my shelf already just begging to be read.Shall we say second week of December? How about the 13th?

with you, maybe some time in December or January

I'm in for late December or January, also.

Lucky you to have a copy! I don't have a copy but maybe I should be scouring for my own. I have so many BRs and plans set in place to get the book, I have lost track for the plan for this one. lol SO....December 13th will work. :) yay!

Mary: Harry Dresden's Love Slave wrote: "Anyone want to read:

January is perfect. Can someone set that up? I might get a head start (late Dec.) on it because I'm going back to school in January. Just so I can keep up with the discussion.
is one of my favorite classics so far - but I have a lot to still read... like in the next few months.
I was supposed to read
last month for a group read, but never got around to it. I will watch out for the buddy read:)

January would suit me. How does the 1st January sound?

"I'd be interested in Daughter of Smoke & Bone!
Regarding
- the list in the Scheduled Buddy Reads post says Map of Time starts on the 1st. The official thread that was set up says it starts on the 15th. The discussion within the thread for the BR is also confusing - some say they can/will start on the first, others say the 15th. I'm just trying to figure out what date to put on the list I'm creating for my team. Thanks!

I might be interested in
, or
, but I won't have time to add anything to my reading plans until January. Will you be able to wait until then?

[bookcover:The ..."We Were Liars was a recent BOM - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
You can join in there and usually some people will start responding back.
Also, the first book in The Fifth Wave series was a BOM. So if you want to do the second one maybe posting on that thread so people who read the first one might join in.
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
The original people were going to start on the 1st but then a couple of others joined who don't want to start until the 15th. My guess is some will still start on the 1st and the others will join in when they start. We will just have to use the spoiler tag a lot.
I'd be interested in
as well....I may not get to it until sometime in later December, and depending on availability at the library will determine when I can start, but I can always join in later.

I loved this book the first time I read it. And I can't get enough of Karou - I'm delaying the reading of the last one because I don't want the magic to end.

I put this in the series thread but I'm posting it here too: Does anyone want to read the Dark-Hunter by Sherrilyn Kenyon series with me? Could start in Dec or Jan.
Night Pleasures

Mods, could you please set up a thread for us for
with a tentative start date of 1st Jan?

[book:Night Pleasures|6944..."
I'd be interested in that. I love the few I've read from the series.
I don't have too many BRs in December, so I could start after the 18th(when I get back from Mexico) or in January. If no one else has any preferences you can go ahead and pick the date.
Mary and Amanda, Sonia has set up the thread for Dark Hunters series here. I can start late Dec or Jan.
Marla, I could read Unravel Me or Shadow of Night, but not until December sometime, maybe January.
Esther, I could also read The Blade Itself, but also not until December or January.
