Buddy Read Requests
I thought it was already set up?!OK, give me few and I'll get to it (if someone doesn't beat me to it) ☺
TT is my favorite too because reading for a team makes me keep the TV off more and read instead. I'll have to check out the new year new series buddy read thread. I don't normally do the buddy reads but figured I'd try them out.

You need a thread for chat and a thread for official requests.

You're right - it is too. It just hasn't got a date on it yet and hasn't been linked from this post so I missed it. Sorry - my bad!

I'll head to the library today and see if I can get a copy. If it looks like I can't get one before the eighth, I'll let you both know.

While you're here, any wishes on LotR?

I'm up for starting whenever. I've got them ready to read, so when you can.

I am going to stop coming here... I want to read all the books!! And I am yet to complete my planned reads, which always goes for a toss when I see other books! *sigh* :) :)@Sarah - when are you planning to read
? I just found that I have it with me and would love to do a BR...but November is looking really busy with other books. However, I can squeeze it in if you are still going ahead with reading it. Can't resist the BR addiction, you see! :)

@ Srividya. Oh I would love for you to join me with this one. It has the highest waiting list on my Overdrive, but I have already read 40% and am just waiting to get it back from the library - I should have it by around Dec. 7th, which is a good time for me to squeeze it in. Everyone I have talked to absolutely loves this book. I have loved it so far... And it is about a row team, a row team, I just would have never thought, but I love it and can't wait to get back to it. Defenitely would love to discuss. I hope that slot will work for you? Please join me.I am defenitely not adding anything more for November. I have already put certain books on hold for all my BRs. It is cray cray up in here.
Sure Sarah. December 7th suits me perfect :) can't wait to read it as I have also heard a lot of good things about the book.

Okay, have a start date for Women's Murder Club -- November 14.Thanks! (copied this into featured series reads, since I'm not sure which mods are reading which threads).

Thread already exists here.
We just need to put revived in it. ☺
And done. ☺
By the way, mods, that spreadsheet you linked in the first message is all kinds of awesome and handy!! Thank you so much for sharing it!!

Thanks Muffin :)
I originally created it for the mods to have an easy way to check if a book nominated for a BOM has already been read in the group. But now, with all these BRs, I figured it was worth sharing so everyone has an easy way to find threads. Although with so many threads being set up every day I'll have to be better at keeping it up to date ;)

Abbie wrote: "Mods, Abbie ,Pigetto,Logan, and Mary: Harry Dresden's Love Slave, are doing
in November."Ooh, that looks good. I'll join in on that one too.
Hehe, I was thinking that when I saw the most recent update date on it. It's funny - I had planned to scour through all of the author names and the series reads thread and all the buddy reads threads to find out which books had all been discussed but you just took care of that for me with that handy sheet. <3 <3 <3
Now I can put my efforts to combing through that ever-growing Buddy Reads Request thread to set up a list of all upcoming buddy reads for my group's perusal.
For TT3, I am looking for a November 8th buddy to read Unravel Me (Shatter Me #2), Shadow of Night (Discovery of Witches #2, which already has a Buddy Read thread), Radiant Shadows (Wicked Lovely #4) or Club Dead (Sookie Stackhouse #3)
Teresa, for Ready Player One, I am really hoping for mid-November but I am at the mercy of the readers that reserved the eBook before I did. Set a date ad I will pop up when I can.I would like to find buddies for The Swan Thieves and The Blade Itself I.am thinking of the end of November/early-December.

- Assuming I am able to renew it one more time, I will have to read..."@ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) I would prefer to start it any time during the first half of November or on the beginning of December. But since I have it with me I'll probably can fit it any time that is convenient to the group. :)
Is anyone else interested in a buddy read for the
trilogy anytime in the next couple months?Or would anyone want to read
in November? I think this one might actually be part of a series.
RebeccaS wrote: "Is anyone else interested in a buddy read for the

"I'm up for joining in with The Map of Time, been wanting to read it for ages! I'd also love to read The House at Riverton, there's already a copy of it sat on my kindle.
"Tea and I (and anyone else) are going to reading these, we just haven't decided on a start date yet.
@Danielle - okay cool. I can read it probably any time that works for the others!

I might be tempted to join if it maybe could be starting late December or January at the earliest. I'm just fully booked for November and most of December.
I hope this is the right place to do this.I have a few books I'm reading in November and I wondered if anybody here would be interested in reading them with me.
by Jostein Gaarder -
by Graeme Simsion -
by Ricky Ponting (this is a two month one due to its size)There may be others to come. I haven't finalised everything yet.
As to starting them - I own all these books so I can start anytime. The 'Ponting' one I plan to start on the 1st November so I can get as much time as I can to read it.
