Justin (rockstarintraining) I can do The Wise Man's Fear in January. I've been putting it off for no good reason. Loved the first book.

Okay, how about in January? Erin wanted to join but can't read it until January. Does that work for you?

A friend and I are starting the 2nd book on the 5th. Here's the thread. We can ask it to be a series buddy read and just put spoiler tags if you like.


message 1354: by Cynthia (new)

Cynthia (cynthiab) Mods, can we have a thread set up for The Wise Man's Fear (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #2) by Patrick Rothfuss , January, no date specified. We can nail it down closer to reading time. Thanks!

Rachel, January is fine for me. I have 5 BRs in mind for the first 2 weeks, 3 penciled in for the last 2 weeks. Any time of the month is fine for me. IIRC it's just a couple hundred pages.

I would like to do Never Fade (The Darkest Minds, #2) by Alexandra Bracken . How about sometime late December/early January?

Kathleen, I will read [bookcover:The Miniaturist|18498569] with you. We can probably just jump into the old BOM thread. I read The Thief fairly recently, but would discuss if you needed a buddy.

I've found if I search on the title or author name in the search box then change it to search titles only it works well.
