Ahh no. That's a shame. Good news for me reading TSP second to TM though lol.

I think there's a BR for Wundersmith The Calling of Morrigan Crow (Nevermoor, #2) by Jessica Townsend happening right now.

I'm also BRing the The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien series this month, if you wanted to jump in on that?

I can also do Rebel of the Sands (Rebel of the Sands, #1) by Alwyn Hamilton and the rest of the series, as I've been wanting to reread them and The Gilded Wolves (The Gilded Wolves, #1) by Roshani Chokshi as I want to reread that too before The Silvered Serpents (The Gilded Wolves, #2) by Roshani Chokshi .

I'm hoping to read The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien next month if you were interested in reading that then as well.

Oh, wow. You and I own a LOT of the same books that we haven't read yet. =P Here are some we have in common. Let me know if you want to buddy read any of them with me. The days this month that I don't have any buddy reads already set for are the 4th, 6th-8th, 10th, 19th, and the 26th-30th. Those days would work best but I can double up on some days too if other days work better for you. I have some of these on audible so it's easy to listen while I'm multitasking. =)

A Vow So Bold and Deadly (Cursebreakers, #3) by Brigid Kemmerer White Hot Kiss (The Dark Elements, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout Nevernight (The Nevernight Chronicle, #1) by Jay Kristoff Wintersong (Wintersong, #1) by S. Jae-Jones Ninth House (Alex Stern, #1) by Leigh Bardugo Wicked Saints (Something Dark and Holy, #1) by Emily A. Duncan

I can do Thunderhead, preferably later in the month if that works for you? Like the 15th or something around there, as I have to obtain a copy, haha, and am currently reading two books.

@Dannii: I haven't read Nevermoor yet so I'll pass on Wundersmith.
I'm also not up to Lotr just yet :p Too much of a big commitment
I can do Rebel of the Sands and Gilded Wolves, but not the sequels as I don't have them yet. If I like the first books I'll grab the sequels

@Cinthia: Yeah I loved Silent Patient too but Maidens isn't really doing it for me

@Vanessa: I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing that we own a lot of the same lol
Oh YES I need to finish Vow! - 4th?
Does White Hot Kiss come before Storm and Fury? I was trying to read her books in publication order but I suppose it doesn't really matter
Nevernight, not too sure if I'm ready for that just yet. It's a commitment XD and I don't own Darkdawn. I need a month where I can focus on this, maybe could do 26th? Last few days of the month for it.
Ninth House - 6th
Wicked Saints - 19th

Do those dates work? And if White Hot Kiss is first, you can choose the date haha

@LJ: I need to re-read Scythe first sorry


message 58: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
Just so you guys know i won't be reading the books right on those dates, it'll depend on readathons rolls for the Bookoplathon (I choose my next prompt when I finish my current read)


message 59: by lj ♡ (new)

lj ♡ | 177 comments @Maddie that's fine, let me know if you have time to do Thunderhead, if not, no worries :)


message 60: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
@LJ: I won't get to it this month I don't think. I'll see if anyone wants to read Scythe on the main thread


message 61: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
I've got a buddy for Scythe! Will let you know a date for Thunderhead

No worries :) I'm up for Rebel and Gilded. If you like both maybe we could move onto the sequels next month or before the end of the year? If not, again no worries :) Let me know what dates work for you. I have the audio for both so can do any date.


message 63: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
Yeah! Even if I don't love them, chances are I'll get them from the library anyway.

I've got stuff throughout, but as I said I'm reading as per prompts so I'm not going by dates haha

Dates taken:
4th
6th
7th x2
8th
13th
15th
19th

And a bunch of other books without dates

Oh yeah lol. Okay, if you find a prompt that fits the books just let me know and we can set up the BRs for then as I can slot them in whenever :)


message 65: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
Na we just plan them haha otherwise I'll forget to prioritize them


message 66: by Dannii (new)

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9967 comments Okay lol. How about 11th for Rebel and the 25th for Gilded?


message 67: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
Sure!


message 68: by Dannii (new)

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9967 comments Awesome! Are you okay to request the threads? :)


message 69: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
yeah can do, I shall in a minute haha


message 70: by Dannii (new)

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9967 comments Thank you. I've requested so many this month and don't want to annoy anyone haha.


message 71: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
Haha that's okay, I'm just too lazy to normally do it :p


message 73: by Dannii (new)

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9967 comments Hahaha. Thank you! I am honoured then ;)


message 74: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
haha no worries thought it was about time


message 75: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
Finished Maidens, back into Survive the Night!


message 76: by Dannii (new)

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9967 comments I've been listening to The Fellowship of the Ring and Burial Rites whilst I work today :) I've finished and posted the first book and am about halfway through the second. I'll hopefully get it completed and posted tonight too, as well as post for another book I finished yesterday and still need to write a review for.

I'm glad I am close to having them all done as I'm doing a little weekend readathon. My boyfriend is on a night out and I'm doing lifts home at 3am so won't be sleeping much and thought I might as well. Most books won't be worth many points but I want to get through as many of the graphic novels, short stories, and middle grade books on my tbr as possible. I also have lots of quick Netgalley buddy reads set up too :)


Vanessa Gayle ⚔️ Fangirl Faction (fangirlfaction) | 3795 comments @Maddie

I'd say it's a good thing. Great minds think alike. ;)

Yes, those dates work. White Hot Kiss comes before Storm and Fury. White Hot Kiss is the original series and Storm and Fury is the start of the spin-off series that came after it. How about the 10th or the 28th for White Hot Kiss?

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
I can do 10th as I'm trying to keep the last few days free to really understand Nevernight.

Fourth day of the month at lunchtime, and I've finished 3 full books! :D About to pick up Flat-Share once I've done some errands

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
@Vanessa: Mind making the threads, got to go out now


message 81: by lj ♡ (new)

lj ♡ | 177 comments update - i just finished a short middle-gradeish illustrated book, will review & log tomorrow
also i am nearly done with a YA book (although i'll only earn like 1/3 of the pts because i started it before sept) i'll finish, log & review it tomorrow hopefully as well, then if everything goes according to plan, finish my other currently-reading book over the weekend so i'll get total points for all books read starting next week :')

Hey Vanessa :) The White Hot Kiss thread is a GBR, so we'll need to use a new one:

Oh, okay. I didn't catch that when I searched for an existing thread. I'll make a new one and update my request. =)

I made a new one, the one in my post that I linked. There was no other one that wasn't a GBR.

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
I'm off to sleep now, will be back tomorrow! Hope to get through most of Flatshare if not finish it and then pick up Vow! I'll need to read a summary of Heart as I can't remember much


Vanessa Gayle ⚔️ Fangirl Faction (fangirlfaction) | 3795 comments Maddie wrote: "I deleted your thread :) Use the one I linked"

Got it bookmarked. Thank you. =)


Vanessa Gayle ⚔️ Fangirl Faction (fangirlfaction) | 3795 comments I finished Addicted to Him (The Callahans, #3) by Monica Murphy and posted my review. Still working on Wolf Marked (Magic Side Wolf Bound #1) by Veronica Douglas and starting A Vow So Bold and Deadly (Cursebreakers, #3) by Brigid Kemmerer today.


message 94: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
I'd like to start Vow today too, should be doable! I also need to pick up Defy the Night


message 95: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
Finished my 4th book in 5 days! I'm flying! Wonder what's next on the list, hopefully Vow!


message 96: by Dannii (new)

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9967 comments Woohoo :) Well done, Maddie and Vanessa :)

I had planned on a little weekend readathon so have reviews to write for three books I finished yesterday and have quite a number of short stories and graphic novels to fly through this morning. Those won't be worth many points though.


message 97: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
Nice! We're way in the lead as well :) Next up is a 400 page non-BR but the pages are a bit bigger so it might take me 3 days rather than 2, we will see

message 98: by lj ♡ (new)

lj ♡ | 177 comments Wow, nice job everyone! :) since I was only 72 pages in to my currently-reading book that I started before sept i decided to restart (the early plot was hazy in my mind since i started it like 2 weeks ago and picked it up again today haha) so that'll be full points!


message 99: by Dannii (new)

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9967 comments Nice, LJ! I hope you're enjoying it :)

I love when we get an early read. It really motivates me to keep reading :)
