Zara - I'm planning to read The Rosie Effect in November too. I could read it with you. When in November did you have in mind? Mid to late November would probably be better for me.

That would be great Kristie. How about mid November then. How about the 10th November start. I have been summoned for Jury Duty that day/week so I'm not sure whether I will get a great start on it. However, if it's anything like his first one I could probably have it read in a couple of days. LOL

[Kristie]

I have a couple that I'm reading right around the 10th already. Could we do the 15th? I'm not a fast reader at all, but I'll do my best!

The 15th sounds perfect. I'll look forward to it. By the way, are you participating in the Tower Team challenge at all? If so, what team are you on?

@Danielle - okay cool. I can read it ..."

Ahem I would also love to join this! ;) However, I can do it only in January, same problem as Anita. I have to use November and December to finish my existing challenges! So if you guys are reading before that, go ahead - will try and catch up in January :)

[Kristie]

I am, Zara! I'm in the Elves of Deep Shadow. What team are you on?

I'm in the team called 'Soaring Eagles'. Eagles are probably my most favourite bird. Especially the wedge-tailed Eagle.

That is a beautiful bird! I love eagles, too.

It is indeed a beautiful bird.

Here it is:



You see these birds a lot along the Eyre Highway in Australia especially after a fresh kill of kangaroo.

[Kristie]

Very pretty bird!

[Rebecca]

Would it be okay with everyone to start the The Lord of the Rings trilogy in January? Maybe January 5th?

[Rebecca]

@Jesse - I can start in December, if that works. I just know some others said they wouldn't be able to start until January. But, I think we are allowed to join in a little later than the "official" start date and discuss so that might work out too?

For me beginning of January is perfect.

Anita wrote: "For me beginning of January is perfect."

It's hard to fit everyone in. :D
How about we start somewhere middle December and then you and Srividya join in January? You'll still get points since it's two of you.

That sounds perfect Tea. :)

[Rebecca]

Haha sorry everyone!! I was just trying to find a good month for everyone. I think Tea is right, if we start middle December, people can join in anytime after that for discussion.

Sorry about the confusion about the months!

How does December 18th sound? (just randomly picked this date)

[Anita Reads]

I can start late december, too. Will we start with the fellowship of the ring, or start with the Hobbit?

[Rebecca]

@Anita - I would be happy to continue discussions with you if you start at a later date. I actually already read the first of this series last month, but am excited to discuss it with everyone.

[Rebecca]

Anita said "I can start late december, too. Will we start with the fellowship of the ring, or start with the Hobbit? "

Hmmm that's a good point! I have read The Hobbit but would be totally happy joining in the conversation with those who are reading it now! It's up to you all :)

[Srividya]

I am also fine with the later part of December. 18th sounds doable to me, give or take a couple of days. This will be a second time read for me but as its been years since I last read it, I am really looking forward to reading it and discussing it.

@Rebecca - Am okay with any time frame for the three books.

[Srividya]

I haven't read The Hobbit although I have read LoTR! :( So, if we are starting with that, it would be great but I am okay with directly reading LoTR as well!

[❀Tea❀]

RebeccaS wrote: "Also, how long should we space out the 3 books? "

Week? :P
Just joking. Let's see how long we'll need to finish fellowship.
18th sounds good. It's going to be busy few days for me (I need to bake me a cake :P) but I'll have time for reading. Maybe just little slower.

And I'm ready to discus with latecomers too, just it won't count for Anita since we are in same team.


@Anita
No Hobbit this time, at least for me. You can read it too, and someone will drop by to talk to you I'm sure. Thread is already there.

Hmmm that's a good point! I have read [book:The Hobbit|5907..."

which buddy read is this one for Srividya?

[❀Tea❀]

And OK, I'll 'reserve' us 18th for LotR. ☺

[Srividya]

@Zara - Its for Lord of the Rings.

[Zara's Retreat]

Srividya wrote: "@Zara - Its for Lord of the Rings."

The first book or all three?

[Srividya]

All three.

18th December is good.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

thread is here

Have fun reading!

[Anita Reads]

Ok. I can always read the Hobbit later :) I'll make sure to be ready to start LOTR the 18th of December.

[Greta]

I'd like to reread LOTR with you all!

[Rebecca]

Thanks Tea! I agree, lets see how long it takes to read The Fellowship of the Ring and then decide from there when to start the second.

Woohoo!

[Srividya]

@Anita - If you want, we can do a BR of The Hobbit after we finish LOTR. :)

[Greta]

Was there anyone else still interested in ? We have a thread for it but I haven't heard back from anyone to set a start date.

[Anita Reads]

@Srividya - Ok, we can do that :)

Yes, let's see how long we take reading the first one.

[Mary X]

You guys are making me want to read the LOTR trilogy for the 4th time.

[Amanda]

Greta wrote: "Was there anyone else still interested in ? We have a thread for it but I haven't heard back from anyone to set a start date."

I'll read it with you, Greta. I'm not sure when I'll be able to get a copy from the library, though.
When did you want to start?

[Greta]

I really am not in a huge rush :-) there was one other person who responded on the thread & she is waiting for if from the library too.

[Zara's Retreat]

Some more BR requests from me: November through to January. Time is flexible.


- - - - -

[❀Tea❀]

Zara,

already exists here
I'm sure that even if you don't get anyone to read it with you, someone who already read it will stop by to discuss it with you.

I would like to join you and others on reading this book...

I am wanting to read this one with you all. I wrote something on the link, is that all I need to do?

[❀Tea❀]

Margaret wrote: "I am wanting to read this one with you all. I wrote something on the link, is that all I need to do?"

Yep, that's enough.
Now all you need is to read it and comment while reading. :D

[❀Tea❀]

Is anyone interested in reading ?
We thought to start it now (probably over the weekend) so we are done before starting LotR.

[Amanda]

❀Tea❀ wrote: "Is anyone interested in reading ?

Definitely! I was actually thinking of mentioning it until I saw that you and Danielle were already discussing it. I just unpacked it last night and put it on my bookshelf. That must be fate :D.

[❀Tea❀]

Amanda wrote: "Definitely! I was actually thinking of mentioning it until I saw that you and Danielle were already discussing it. I just unpacked it last night and put it on my bookshelf. That must be fate :D. "

Yeah, we plan in other place and then come here with finished plan. :P To keep thread clean(er)

Ok I'll set up a thread as soon as I finish updating my challenges :P
You okay with starting now?

[Margaret]

here is a short BR request...time is flexible for me:

[Amanda]

❀Tea❀ wrote: "You okay with starting now? ."

That's fine with me! I also just found my copy of The Complete Tolkien Companion, so I'll be able to do a little reference research.

[Amanda]

Margaret wrote: "here is a short BR request...time is flexible for me:

I'm up for Of Human Bondage and Howards End. I can probably start them late November to early December. Or any time that works for you.

[Margaret]

I'm up for [..."

So....I have Howard's End on audio now so late November would work. I am on the waiting list (1 out of 2) for Of Human bondage for the audio, so December would work.

[Amanda]

Ok, works for me! I'll set up a thread soon.
