I'm currently on disc 5 of 14 (just started chapter 18), so I suppose I'm going at a decent pace. You're definitely welcome to join the discussion, the more the merrier!

"My library has it! I'd love to read it with you in December or January. Any time is good. I don't seem to be overwhelmed with buddy reads in those months yet.
I am just throwing this out there, I am starting to read the above book today, have it borrowed from the library currently, along with the next book in the series - if anyone wants to join me they are more than welcome.
I just finished Big Little Lies and am craving more Liane Moriarty. I'm thinking about reading What Alice Forgot, but won't be able to start until January. Would anyone like to read it with me?

I hate to be a bother about it, but could you change the date from Nov 15th to Jan 7th at the beginning of this thread too? Thank you!

Done. Thanks!
Done. Thanks!
Mods- We'd like to continue reading the Dark Tower Series one book per month, so we'd start
on December 3rd. Should we create a new thread or do you want to turn the Gunslinger's thread into a Series Read? Thank you!
Kristie (~ Gaildis, of the Elves ~) wrote: "I just finished Big Little Lies and am craving more Liane Moriarty.

Excellent, Kristin! AmandaA is in too. We just need to come up with a date in January. Is there any particular date that works better for you?
Ok, how about Jan 11, then? This has already been a buddy read back in 2012. Mods, could you add What Alice Forgot to the buddy read schedule and start a revisit on the thread? What Alice Forgot buddy read
Could I request another buddy read, this time for a series, starting with Bloodlines, and then having one for the subsequent novels once each month, starting from mid next week?

Wish I could get my hands on that Freddie Mercury book, Mary:HDLS. I love him. When I did a search for that, my library database showed a book Elton John wrote about HIV/AIDS and his experiences with friends who contracted it, as well as his foundation's fight against it. I think I'll read that sometime next year, since I can't read the Freddie book. If I decide to do a BR for it, I'll post here.

I would love to join you for this buddy read, too.....pretty please,lol
Just an FYI - the old Buddy read thread has discussion questions. It doesn't matter to me - but it might give away some of the book to us by seeing some of the questions/answers.....just a thought
I'm glad you'll be joining us, Melissa! Yes, usually the mods put up a post in the thread so that everyone knows that is where the new comments begin and you don't read anything before that post. I definitely won't go back and read the comments until I've finished the book.

I think I might be signing up for too many buddy reads,lol.....but it will get the books of my shelves and read :)

I keep signing up for them, then wondering how I'm going to fit them all in. I think I have a good plan though. ;)
I'm starting Accidents of Marriage
either today or tomorrow. If anyone happens to have some time and would like to read it with me, I'd be up for a buddy read. It seems like a book that would be good to discuss. Sorry there wasn't much notice. I am supposed to review it and almost forgot to schedule it in with all the other buddy reads I signed up for!
Melissa, I would join you for a buddy read of The Husband's Secret
in December. I have a buddy read for Dec. 6th so.. can we maybe do Dec 12th ?

. Anytime between the 23rd and 30 November would be good for me.

So you want individual threads for each book instead of a series read?

I would love to read Blood Magick but I'm way down on the list of wishers at the library. I don't think I'll get a copy that quickly.
Definitely! Just keep an eye on the thread or else let me know the number in the series and I can tell you how many months time till we get to it.

Ahh. I still need to read the first two :P
Hmm. I might not have to wait as long as I though for Blood Magick. When I searched my library before they had 1 edition listed with a very long hold list. But I just looked again and now there are several editions. So I just got in more lines for a copy.
Oh, that is good. Let me know when you get your copies of
from the library and I'll request the buddy read be set up for then.
Mary - 1 library I looked had a wait time of 88 days but then I looked at another library as well and it was much shorter. Thank goodness for multiple libraries!! We will wait for you to get a copy.Can't wait to read this. So glad you mentioned it for a buddy read.
Lisa - I will let you know as soon as I get it.
