I think there's a BR for
happening right now.I'm also BRing the
series this month, if you wanted to jump in on that?I can also do
and the rest of the series, as I've been wanting to reread them and
as I want to reread that too before
.I'm hoping to read
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. =)

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.
Mod
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
Mod
@Maddie that's fine, let me know if you have time to do Thunderhead, if not, no worries :)

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.
Mod
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 :)
Mod
Okay lol. How about 11th for Rebel and the 25th for Gilded?
Awesome! Are you okay to request the threads? :)
Mod
Thank you. I've requested so many this month and don't want to annoy anyone haha.

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 :)
@MaddieI'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?

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
Mod

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.

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!
Nice, LJ! I hope you're enjoying it :)I love when we get an early read. It really motivates me to keep reading :)
