Anyone up for
The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks?
I have to read it for a RL bookclub meeting on Dec 12, so early December start date?
And if you're not sure, this may convince you:

@ Zee, Kathryn, Tara Jo (and anyone else interested that I may have missed)Are we tentatively planning to read
in late November and use the old BR thread?? I need to pencil it in or it'll get lost in the shuffle.
so i went on a reading synopsis rampage to figure out which books i would like to read from here.. i got a long list T_T i managed to short it to:from Beth -
and
from Anita -
and
(haven't read #1 though)from Joi -
,
and
from Trinity -
,
and
from Kathryn -
and
.Earlier November or anytime after the beginning of January work best for me, but i guess i can do anytime
I'd join in with
, but I'm on the wait list from the library so it might take a while for me to get it.

I'd like to plan on reading
. I won't be able to do it until January though, as November is full and December is quickly booking up! I've heard good things about it, so if it holds true I may be willing to continue with the series and maybe do one each month. Let me know if you want to setup something for January...if it turns out you start before then I can join when I get there.

Do you want to set a date now or wait till we get closer? I already have the book so I won't have to rely on getting it from library. I have another read that is starting Jan 3 so I could plan on a few days later, maybe Jan 7?
Also, not sure if you have the book already or not, but Amazon US has it free right now (other sites may too, not sure) so in case you need to pick it up...
Does anyone want to read any of these in January with me?
I am about to start The Vicomte, but will push it off if someone wants to finish the Three Musketeers series with me starting from that point.

january then?
Well. I have a couple of buddy reads starting now, too, but I can probably make it fit. I just won't be able to read it super fast. I hope that's ok :)
Tara Jo wrote: "Cynthia wrote: "@ Zee, Kathryn, Tara Jo (and anyone else interested that I may have missed)Are we tentatively planning to read

I've got about half my BR reading done for this week. I'm probably a little ahead of schedule. I just feel compelled to get the little reads out of the way, because I have some big fat non-BR reads planned.
TL;DR - Read & comment whenever and I'll be there.
Anita wrote: "Well. I have a couple of buddy reads starting now, too, but I can probably make it fit. I just won't be able to read it super fast. I hope that's ok :)"lol no worries. I'm not that fast of a reader nowadays :|
Ok. Good. How about we start the 6th? I know it's the middle of the week, but my weekend is booked with a party both Friday and Saturday, so I won't have much time to read.
I love
! I read it almost 2 years ago, so I may pop in. I hope no one judges the book by the movie. Book is so much better, to me.
Eni- I can do Unlovable beginning of November. Does the 5th work for you?And unfortunately I have already read Pretty Little Liars. but if you like it then I will do a BR of the next book

Great! Nicole from River Sprites is going to join us too :)

Thank you mods!I've seen a couple here floating around that I may join, though I've probably already joined more in November and December than I can realistically handle. I'd like to jump in on the Daughter of Smoke & Bone discussion, but I'll be joining really late - probably January.
Also, I saw Lock In around too. If you are planning that for January, I'll join you. Otherwise, I may jump in on that discussion late too.
OK - there are a few books I am gonna read in January I am looking for a partner to read with - look into them and see if you might like to join me - Vinegar Hill - a quick read. I am also gonna get back to Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell - it is a real chunkster.

? Thank you.

I am..."Sarah, I simply love your choice of books! I want to read them all but alas I am not sure of it being available. However, I can get Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. Just read the blurb and it sounds really interesting.So will join you for that in January.
Wow. Really? Well it is a chunkster. It will be a big read. I will probably read it while I am reading other books. I have also started this and just haven't got back to it like all year,started in January. So when do you want to start in January? I could let you catch up to me and chime in, then get started. I may read like 50 pages a day from it?
Yes Sarah. You have made me really curious about this book. I am okay with any date in January. I also read multiple books at the same time, so I am fine with 50 pages a day as it will help me be more focused on it. How many pages have you read already? If possible, I can start reading sometime in late December so that I will catch up with you in January and we can start off discussions immediately.
Well I was hoping to start like January 8th, because I have two books I am starting the first, but I am only 250 pages in. So I will make the thread for then, but if you start posting earlier I will join in, it will help jog my memory.
We can start on January 8th. Its suits me perfect as I have quite a few books that I need to finish before that (read challenges etc!). Will try and read the first 250 pages before that to help us finish this one.Incidentally, I am also with you on Mudbound and that starts January 2nd, I believe!

I will keep my eyes peeled for the thread.
Sarah wrote: "OK - there are a few books I am gonna read in January I am looking for a partner to read with - look into them and see if you might like to join me - Vinegar Hill - a quick read.

I'm going to read the following books in November; if anyone is interested in buddy reading one of them with me, please let me know:
Kimberly, I have been wanting to read The Killing Floor. Let me see if I can get it from the library in time and I'll read it with you in November.
Any fantasy series lovers out there who want to read Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series with me? The first book is Furies of Calderon. It will be a re-read but I am planning to read through them all again around the first of the year.
Yeah Michelle.Red Baron - will you set up a BR for Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell for Jan 8th.
And hey girls, I can wait a few days for you two to catch up to me. When it gets close we can keep each other posted.

Awesome :)
So sorry everyone! I wasn't home most of the weekend and I know the other mods have been pretty busy also. I'll get caught up on creating the buddy read threads in the morning.

One of my all time favourite books that I have wanted to re-read for a while.... I may just join you
