Karrie finished the first one. I'm in for a series read, I'm on book three.

How exactly do series reads work?

NancyHelen and I ( and whoever else) are going to read Tana French's Faithful Place (Dublin Murder Squad, #3) by Tana French Can we set up a new thread for December 5th?

Trinity, there are so many posts,
I just want to clarify that now you don't want to read Crescendo (Hush, Hush, #2) by Becca Fitzpatrick until January? I asked for the thread to be set for Jan 15. We can change it if you want it earlier


message 1256: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (daughterofoak) | 3473 comments I'll set up some threads later tonight. Sorry for the delay! I've been packing up after my house-sitting job. I'll make the threads after I get home and make a cake for tomorrow.

You read the book and when you put your thoughts while reading the book, you book for example

Book 1:
(view spoiler)

and someone else could put

Book 4:
(view spoiler)

And then when YOU get to book four, you can go read what they wrote and respond to them


kat (wanderfulbooks) (wanderfulbooks) | 2329 comments Hi Mods.

Thank you, Beth (Ducky). So if we set up a series read, I would get buddy read points for every book of the series I read?

As long as someone else has read the book, I believe. I didn't get BR points for reading 11th Hour because no one else was reading it. But if you are someone else are reading Jack & Jill then you would get BR points


message 1264: by Erin (new)

Erin (Bluestocking Bookworm) (bluestockingbookworm) | 353 comments OK, so some requests I am interested in buddying up for:

Flat-Out Love (Flat-Out Love, #1) by Jessica Park The House at Riverton by Kate Morton Lock In by John Scalzi Dead Until Dark (Sookie Stackhouse, #1) by Charlaine Harris Life After Life by Kate Atkinson Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

Some requests of my own:
The Rook (The Checquy Files, #1) by Daniel O'Malley The Reincarnationist (Reincarnationist, #1) by M.J. Rose


message 1265: by Cathie (new)

Cathie (catitude) | 999 comments I would love to do Dead Until Dark (Sookie Stackhouse, #1) by Charlaine Harris , but honestly couldn't get to it until February. I am already over committed on reads for the next 2 months.

I also have Flat-Out Love (Flat-Out Love, #1) by Jessica Park sitting here staring at me but I can't commit to it until March (especially if I just maybe added another to February, lol)

Erin, if you don't find someone before the above dates, I'll read those 2 with you. If you do, then perhaps someone can buddy read with me and pick up on your thread next Feb. & March.


message 1266: by Becca (new)

Becca Baldwin also interested in Lock In by John Scalzi
