I'm going to leave the notifications on for BR threads, and I'll jump back in and comment even after I've finished. We can't all start and stop reading the same day.

Late November is fine with me. Nov. 25th or so?


message 562: by Cynthia (new)

Cynthia (cynthiab) If y'all set up a BR for The Paper Magician (The Paper Magician Trilogy, #1) by Charlie N. Holmberg , I'll check out when you're ready to move on to the next book from there.

I'm not going to reread, so I can refresh my memory with some juicy spoilers from your BR.

I hopefully could get in January from my Overdrive, I am 24 on the wait list, but there are eight copies, and usually people don't keep the book for a full three weeks.

Laura | 9707 comments I will join Trinity in a BR for Crescendo (Hush, Hush, #2) by Becca Fitzpatrick .
I am next in queue at my library Trinity. Will you be ready to go when it comes in? ( it seems I have been waiting weeks for it. )


message 578: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 3273 comments Alex - we have started a thread. I can start on my commute to and from work on Tuesday since I am doing the audio. So perfect. I will also start reading for Code Name Verity. Are you also gonna join the BR for Big Little Lies? It would be next. It is the same author as The Husband's Secret.


message 579: by Alex (new)

The Paper Magician (The Paper Magician Trilogy, #1) by Charlie N. Holmberg

How about Nov 22?


message 581: by Claire (new)

Claire  | 4251 comments Will there be a buddy read for the whole Harry Potter series?
I haven't signed in for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone because I've reread it just a few weeks ago, but I didn't get through rereading the rest of the series yet.

How about Nov 22?"


I will join you for this one too!


message 585: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments Was a date ever chosen for Shadow and Bone (The Grisha, #1) by Leigh Bardugo in December? I know a few people said they wanted to read it, but I didn't see a final date. I may jump in on this one, if December doesn't get too busy.


message 586: by Nicole (new)

Nicole Field (nicolefield) | 1778 comments Actually cold we make Shadow and Bone a series read? I've just finished get he first one but would love to Buddy Read the second and third.

With Sarah Waters, The Paying Guests, how about we make it 15th January? I'm also fairly far back in line at the library holds ;)


message 587: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 3273 comments Sounds good to me. Was The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters your request? If so let's have the mods set it up. I have to say though - I hope I like it, I am just finishing up The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters and and am not loving it, so this will be my second by this author. But I will be doing the audio, usually if it is a book I really want to read I prefer to read it and not listen.

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) I would like to read Made (Forever, #0.4) by J.M. Darhower by J.M. Darhower with someone. I love the Sempre series.

But you need to first read Sempre (Forever, #1) by J.M. Darhower and Sempre Redemption (Forever, #2) by J.M. Darhower

I don't think the date was picked, just the month. Since there are a lot of buddy reads coming up, how about if we schedule it for after Christmas? Does the 28th of December work for every one that plans to read it?


message 592: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments That's fine with me. Red Baron, could you start a thread for Shadow and Bone please?


message 593: by Nicole (new)

Nicole Field (nicolefield) | 1778 comments Red Baron please set 15th Jan for the Paying Guests also :)

Thanks!
