Buddy Read Requests
RebeccaS wrote: "Starting Cinder on November 25th works for me! Should we ask the Mods to set that up?"Yes, Rebecca, I think that schedule Danielle suggested works well for reading Cinder and Scarlet. So, I would say we should request a buddy read set-up for:
- November 25
- December 9That gives us two weeks between books -- enough time to squeeze in other reads and not so long that we've forgotten what happened.

Hi Margaret! The link to the read is here: Unwind discussion
There is a thread under series reads for the series and links to each of the discussions so that we can continue with the series. :)
Sounds great to me. I have just requested these books from the library so I should have them by then!Mods, can we request these threads for our buddy reads please :)
Also, since Cinder was already a BOM (I think) there are already DQs in the thread that we can use if we want to help with our discussion.

You guys...you're killing me. Now I want to join this one too LOL Maybe I'll join in later if you start in November, considering now I'm a part of a million others already.

I'm almost done with Outlander but if you continue with the series I'd join in!
I'll get caught up on making the buddy read threads soon.I want to make sure everyone has seen our note in the very first post!
If you want to join a buddy read but are afraid that you may forget about it, tell the mods and we'll PM you a few days before the scheduled start.
I would like to try to join in on Big Little Lies. I have it on hold at the library and hopefully it will be available for me in time to start :)

Is Ugly Love connected to any of her other books. I've been wanting to try this author, so if a standalone, I'll join you.

Yeah, I would prefer late in November, if possible?

I know how you feel Anita. Those book series take me forever since I need mini breaks from it at times and I am easily going to take a break from that series once I finish it. I will probably read the third book sometime around 2015 for certain.

How about starting reading it the 17th? Will everyone be able to start then. Or do you have any suggestions?

I'm good to go as soon as we can in Nov. Is Nov 8th ok with you guys?
Would anyone want to start Ugly Love at the tail end of November? Like the 20th or so*

Great. So who sets up the Buddy Read? I've never done one before. Next month is fine with me. I own a copy already.
Mod
us mods will set them up. Can you just pot what the book is, the start date and who you think is joining? Then I'll set it up as I'm not 100%...this thread is making my head spin :)

The other books in the series have already been scheduled 2 weeks apart before that so that they can take part in this read too.
The link to the Cress discussion thread is here
Actually, for UGLY LOVE, would anyone want to start on the 15th? I have an opening for buddy reads then
Joi, I'm not sure if you saw this anywhere, but there will be a buddy read starting November 23 for The Bell Jar
You guys are picking some great buddy reads. It's killing me lol I want to read Orange is the New Black and the Legend trilogy, but, unless they are in December or afterward, probably can't continue them.
Question, how long do the TT challenges usually last?
Question, how long do the TT challenges usually last?
The last TT ran for a few months if I recall correctly. I think it started in April or May of last year and ran to September or October?

I believe series buddy reads are being kept in the Featured Series Read folder. I don't *think* they are being announced/spotlighted at the top of this thread, probably to keep this thread a little more clean.
