Buddy reads I would like to set up for December or January include
. I don't know if anyone would be interested in any of these? I need them to complete my yearly A-Z challenge.I have coming up reads as well I would welcome for the next several weeks. But they are my library holds.
Yay! So glad I am finally getting around to the Dark Tower series.Now I just gotta go buy it....
Yea for something new from Patrick Rothfuss...Does anyone want to read
with me? I'll be getting my copy as soon as it's released!
I'm in for the Dark Tower Series buddy read as well. I'm on the River Sprites team over at TT3, so this should get pretty exciting. Now to go and hunt for the books...

Great, Abbie! Have you read his other two books? If not, I just read his own review of this book suggesting that those two books are a better place to start...this is a book based on one of the characters from the Kingkiller Trilogy. Just making sure...would hate for you to be disappointed.

@Tea - I would love to join in the buddy read for the The Lord of the Rings series! I actually came to this thread to see if anyone would want to read it.I actually just read The Fellowship of the Ring so I can join in the discussion for that and then read the next two with you! Yay!

Keep in mind participating is joining into the conversation and not just posting superficially.

So we have, Abbie, Taryn, Greta, Sanz,& Kristen for The Gunslinger
The Dark Tower Series
Starting Monday. OCT 27
I haven't done a buddy read in this group, so not sure how we get a thread.
We have a couple of people on our Tower Team interested in a buddy read for
. Any other takers?Also...I'm looking for a buddy read for any one of these:
I could easily be talked into a series read of the Walt Longmire Mysteries.
I know this is in the middle of the series, but it can be read as a standalone so I'll put it on here. The others are standalones or first book in the series!
Let me know if you'd be interested in reading any of these!
So Abbie, just checking but we get Tower Team points as long as we do the reading starting Nov 8th? Or are you planning just to be done with Gunslinger before that?

As long as we finish the book after Nov. 8th then we get the points, so it's up to you guys. We can start later if you want to.

I would be all about re-reading the Wheel of Time. It is literally my favorite fantasy series of all time.

It would actually be my first time reading it! And it's one of the books on my 12+2 list so I really want to get it done. We can also schedule it for after November 8th so we can get points for Tower Teams, if you can wait until then to read it?
Omg!!! Yes I definitely can. I would LOVE to reread it with someone who hasn't ever read it before. Yay! Just let me know when you want to do it. :)
@ Sarah - I'm planning to read Big Little Lies around Nov 9 with another club. I would do a buddy read with you if you wanted to do it around then.

Oh my goodness. This thread is going to overwhelm me! So many that I want to read, way more than I realistically have time for. I definitely need to get organized here. @ Karen - Did you want to read Jurassic Park? If so, what date works for you.
Anyone that was interested in the Unwind series - Did we have a date in mind? I wasn't planning to start until sometime in December, but I can change some dates around if need be.
Kristie & Sarah I would be interested in the buddy read for Big Little Lieswith you both ( and hopefully others)

?

I say it's a win/win/win
Sounds good, Sarah!When the Dark Tower group gets to The Wind Through the Keyhole I may jump in on that with you. I pre-ordered it because I loved the series and still haven't gotten a chance to read it yet. This would be the perfect opportunity.
HP!!! Man....don't know if I have time for a re-read right now, but I loved that series. I so wish I was a faster reader right now. lol

I'm fine with what you all want, that will give us time to read it a little slower.

You definitely should! We can go slow, or do whatever you guys want to do.

Okay, yeah. Sounds like you guys want to start a little later which is completely fine with me. How about Nov. 14th instead?

Can one of the mods make a buddy read post for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on November 10th? Also, I may need a reminder
I feel so bad for the mods right now....
OK - MODS - can you set up a buddy read for
for Dec. 21st. Thank you. Now I hope my copy from Overdrive will come through by then. If not I can spend the money on Amazon
