buddy series listen?

[Dee]

mods - hopefully this is ok ;)

is anyone interested in doing a buddy listen for a series (or 2 next year) - ideally somethign like 1 book a month - either one series to last the year (something like Kresley cole) or a couple of series with smaller amounts of books (this could be good so we don't get burnt out on any one series)

[Lea's Audiobooks]

Dee - sounds good to me. When the first series is chosen, I'll start a thread (possibly a category) so it can be found easily.

[Dee]

I'd love to participate reading the Guild Hunters. I've only read the first book.

[Jonetta]

I'd love to continue the IAD series by Kresley Cole but I'm up to the 7th book, Kiss of a Demon King.

[Dee]

if we get enough interest we'll put it to a vote ;)

I'd like to continue Kresley Cole - but i'm at like book 5

[Samantha]

I would seriously consider doing a buddy listen.

[Dee]

[Samantha]

I've heard great things about:

Kara Gillian

1st book - Mark of the Demon
narrator - Liv Anderson

[Samantha]

That looks good.

Excellent performance, one of the best I've listened to.

[Samantha]

Ohhhh that's good to know.

I am also interested in the Graveyard Queen which Dee put up earlier. She knows she got to listen to it!!!!.

Oh...what about the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones.

[Dee]

i've read them all - and since i'm selfish ;)

[Samantha]

Lol.

[Nichole ~Bookaholic~]

I'm interested.....and a suggestion
Riley Jenson, Guardian.
Keri Arather
1st book- Full Moon Rising
9 books in series

[Dee]

nichole - I tried to PM you to send you the list of nominations - can you hit me up ;) thanks

[Dee]

I PM'd everyone who posted here with the list of series - so you can give me your nominations - since there was some interest but not a lot (and I don't necesarily want ppl to vote if they aren't going to participate)

[Dee]

so the top 2 series that people voted on (and a tie) was Graveyard Queen and Guild Hunters - so i've emailed people with those 2 choices - if you are still interested

[Dee]

here is how the votes played out - 3 votes for top pick, 2 for 2nd and 1 for 3rd

Graveyard Queen - 7
guild Hunters - 7
Riley Jensen - 5
Downside Ghosts - 4
Kara Gillian - 4
Women of the Otherworld - 4
Sabina Kane - 3
Rogue Mage - 1

[Jonetta]

I'm in for Guild Hunters once we get to the second book.

[Dee]

after a run-off vote - which was tied until I flipped a coin - the winner is the Guild Hunter series by Nalini Singh

[Dee]

are people interested in starting in December?

[Jonetta]

Are you starting with the first book?

[Dee]

yeah, i've read it, but i'm going to re-listen - the plan is 1 book a month

[Nichole ~Bookaholic~]

Will we have a new thread for the buddy listen or will we use this one?

[Dee]

i'll let you know ;)

[Jonetta]

I'll join in on book #2.

[Lauren]

I'd prefer to start in January as my December audios are already lined up, but I'm good with joining in the discussion even if everyone starts earlier :0)

[Nichole ~Bookaholic~]

Is this still in the works for January?

[Samantha]

Are we creating a separate thread for each book? How are we laying this out? Dee, where are you? LOL

[Dee]

i'm here! i've been stuck in excel hell!

yep, plan to start Jan 1 with Angels' Blood - i'll ask Lea where I can set up a thread - probably use the same one for the whole listen - just updating with the title each month

[Dee]

here is the link for January - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

and Lea has set up a Buddy Listen folder

[Lauren]

Great! Looking forward to this.
