I've got one but not sure if it belongs in the Back room - Anyone want to read Burnedby Karen M Moning, the next in the Fever series, being released 20 January, 2015?

, but also not until December or January." January is best for me, as well. I started it a while back but I've gotten sidetracked with Challenges/BRs/BOMs.
Is anyone interested in reading
by Ken Follett anytime in November?

I'm pretty full right now on various challenges (November is completely reserved, and December is quickly filling up, although I have a quarterly challenge that starts 12/1 that I have no idea what it will entail!). I may join in at some point, I wasn't sure specifically which book was being looked at, so for now, don't base anything on me!
Mods, as
has been done earlier this year would you prefer we stopped by the old thread?

I loved Daughter of the Forest! I'll join in for Son of the Shadows
Cynthia & Esther- I am fine with waiting & saying late December
I've read every adult book Juliet Marillier has written and Son of the Shadows is her best out of a fantastic body of work. Enjoy ladies.
Now that I look over it, I seem to have it in my collection, but I'm not sure I've read it. Exciting times!!
@Greta - I'm listening to
right now, but you can join me and I'll come back to comment next month. I think I could wait and do
in December. (The problem is I have the books already from the library, so I have to finish them before they are not renewable.)
Kathryn wrote: "Sure! Are you likely to want to continue both the series'? Because I am. I own them all, I think."Maybe, I don't have the books, so I'll have to see if I can get them cheap. I know I like the way Kelley Armstrong writes, so I probably want to read all of her books. I'm not sure about the other one. Depends on how it turns out.

Kathryn, the old buddy read thread for

Chris wrote: "Is anyone interested in reading by Ken Follett anytime in November?"When are you planning to read this? I might be in for late November, although my calendar is fit to bursting with all the BRs I've planned..!
Kristin wrote: "Greta - I can read Unravel Me in December with you. I have the book already just have never read it."Sure, Kristin! Would that work, Marla?
@ Zee and Kathryn: I'd love to read
with you on the 8th. I've already read that week's BOM and my next BR isn't until the 15th.@ Greta and Esther: The end of December is perfect for
. I have 1 book penciled in for the 18th, and 1 for the 21st. Light schedule, so anything the last 2 weeks of December works for me.
Greta/Esther/Cynthia - I would love to join you for
. I've been wanting to read it for a long time.
Logan wrote: "Greta/Esther/Cynthia - I would love to join you for . I've been wanting to read it for a long time."I would like join you too, I just checked and it is only £1.99 on Kindle so I just bought it. Late December is good.
Nobody wants to join me for
any day now - to finish after the 8th of course for credit. I have the book for three weeks, so any time in there. It has come highly recommended if you like things like
Sounds good, Logan & Danielle! This will be a reread for me...I love this series! Should we set a tentative date of December 27 or so and that way we have a thread ready to go? If we need to adjust the date a little we can....

Kathryn - should we get a buddy read set up for bitten then? With start date Jan. 15th?

Have fun reading!
Did I miss anyone?
I'm looking for a few buddy reads in November/December. Would anyone like to read any of these books with me?
(view spoiler)
I am currently reading
and plan to have it read after November 8th. I am slowly devouring it and enjoying it, a heads-up for anyone interested, it is written in the narrative mode of 'stream of consciousness' which can be offsetting if you are not aware or prepared for it.
Alex wrote: "Sarah wrote: "Nobody wants to join me for any day now - to finish after the 8th of course for credit. I have the book for three weeks, so any time in there. It..."Oh thank you Alex. When is good for you? Any time now to the next couple of weeks is good for me.
Anita wrote: "Kathryn - should we get a buddy read set up for bitten then? With start date Jan. 15th?"I'll join you guys on book 2: Stolen
comes out on November 4. I'll be reading it soon after, if anyone would like to Buddy Read it with me.
Cynthia wrote: " comes out on November 4. I'll be reading it soon after, if anyone would like to Buddy Read it with me."I got this one from Netgalley and really need to read and review it. I'll go ahead and read it with you. I just have to read the first one. :)

Sounds great.
Kathryn wrote: "Anita wrote: "Kathryn - should we get a buddy read set up for bitten then? With start date Jan. 15th?"Perfect."
Ok. Mods, will you set up a buddy read for
by Kelley Armstrong start date the 15th. Thanks.
Anita wrote: "Ok. Mods, will you set up a buddy read for [bookcover:Bitten|11918..."No, I'm feeling lazy :P

Hi Mods, I think we might have missed setting up a thread for
starting December 13? I checked the spreadsheet but I don't think it is there. So far, Margaret and I are reading it.

discussion thread for
God, guys, we're already on page 12. This thread was opened less than a month ago O.oAnyone feel like reading Sarah Water's new book
or Jacqueline Carey's
with me in December/January?
@ Amanda - You can set the date for
and just let me know. You don't want to read it out of order.IIRC, it was a very short read. I got
via Kindle First program, so it was free. But both books are in Kindle Unlimited (and maybe the KOLL, I haven't checked)if anyone else is interested and a member.

OK. Sounds great. Let me know. I hope we love it. It has like a 4.3 rating on Goodreads - that is pretty high.
