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....




Oh yes! We have spreadsheets aplenty!


I would love to read this with you Greta!


I have not....should I wait?

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!

Each person participating can earn the bonus points as long as there's someone from another team as well. Keep in mind participating is joining into the conversation and not just posting superficially.

Wheel of Time you're on about. If so, I'll reread it with you. I haven't read the last book yet, as I been wanting to reread the rest first.


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.


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.






Let me know if you'd be interested in reading any of these!

Yes this is perfect. I think we just wait for a mod to get us a thread :)

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.

You want to do an HP re-read?! Umm I'm all over that.

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. :)


Great. We'll do that then.

Thanks, Kelly. That's what I thought.

@ 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.

I would be interested in the buddy read for Big Little Lieswith you both ( and hopefully others)

That works for me. Can MODS set up buddy read for Nov. 9th for



Beth I would do [bookcover:Broken Harbour|10805160], but in December?

How does November 10th sound to you, Taryn? We'll get points for a Buddy Read, I'll get a book done from my 12+2, AND I'll finally be reading HP. I say it's a win/win/win

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


That would be awesome, Danielle! I may have a friend (Katie) who will join us. Does Nov. 8th work as a good start date for you?

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?

I feel so bad for the mods right now....



I really don't care either way, Taryn :-) Let's see what the others think.
