Ditto, I just read the first book a couple of months ago and loved it. So if you continue the series I'd like to join you :)

Hi Srividya! I started listening to the audiobook yesterday, 12 November. 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.

Jojobean | 447 comments Hello everyone. Next week I'm going to be reading Dark Triumph (His Fair Assassin, #2) by Robin LaFevers and wanted to know if anyone wants to join me?

Danielle (thatcrazymama) Just One Day (Just One Day, #1) by Gayle Forman

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.


message 958: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 5588 comments December works for me. My library system has it too. Would you prefer early or later December?


message 959: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments 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?

Thank you mods for updating the thread! 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!

message 962: by Greta (new)

Greta | 1459 comments Mods- We'd like to continue reading the Dark Tower Series one book per month, so we'd start The Drawing of the Three (The Dark Tower, #2) by Stephen King 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!

Hey Kristie - I'm definitely down for more Liane Moriarty and haven't read What Alice Forgot - would love to read it with you!


message 964: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments 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?


message 965: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I should be ok any time in January. Thanks


message 966: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments 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?

Nicole Field (nicolefield) | 1778 comments 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?

Great Ashley. Will join you in the discussions from next week. Thanks.


ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (ilovebakedgoods) | 226 comments 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


message 971: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments 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.

Cool - looking forward to it. 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 agree! 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. ;)


message 975: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments I'm starting Accidents of Marriage Accidents of Marriage by Randy Susan Meyers 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!


message 976: by Danielle (new)

Danielle (thatcrazymama) Melissa, I would join you for a buddy read of The Husband's Secret The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty in December.

I have a buddy read for Dec. 6th so.. can we maybe do Dec 12th ?


message 977: by Danielle (new)

Danielle (thatcrazymama) I would like to read this series in the near future... anyone interested? Deadly Little Secret (Touch, #1) by Laurie Faria Stolarz

Excellent - sounds good. If anybody else interested - feel free to join :)

Mods can you set up a buddy read for The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty The Husband's Secret starting Dec 12th

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 5588 comments So I have people interested in doing some more music legend biography reads with but not sure of the dates yet. Can I get the threads put up anyway?

I'm planning to read City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1) by Cassandra Clare probably in the next few weeks. I'm waiting on it from the library and should be available in the next week. I'll probably start around the first week or two of December or so??

Hey Mods, I think my Bloodlines (Bloodlines, #1) by Richelle Mead request in post 1025 was missed :)


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 6399 comments Is anybody interested in doing this as a buddy read...

Blood Magick (The Cousins O'Dwyer Trilogy, #3) by Nora Roberts . Anytime between the 23rd and 30 November would be good for me.

I have had this on on my TBR list since forever. It's actually the first one I added, but I never got around to read it. I might be able to read it with you if you'd want to wait until January?

Sorry about that Nicole. Give me a few minutes to put my mod hat on :).
So you want individual threads for each book instead of a series read?

Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 6399 comments When you get up to The Fiery Heart (Bloodlines, #4) by Richelle Mead , I can join in. That's where I left the series off.


message 993: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 5588 comments 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.


message 994: by Nicole (new)

Nicole Field (nicolefield) | 1778 comments 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


message 997: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 5588 comments 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.


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 6399 comments Oh, that is good. Let me know when you get your copies of Blood Magick (The Cousins O'Dwyer Trilogy, #3) by Nora Roberts from the library and I'll request the buddy read be set up for then.


message 999: by ~Leslie~ (new)

~Leslie~ (akareadingmachine) | 2240 comments 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.
