Should be ok for me. :)

[Diane Lynch]

I could be in on that Buddy read. I requested it. Girl on Ice.

[Janet , Moderator]

And there's a good chance you'll get it, Diane. Fingers crossed! Hopefully you'll find out soon. :)

I have never done a buddy read before...what is involved?

[Jan]

I think a lot will depend on the size of the group, but typically we'll pick a certain amount of chapters to read daily, then discuss and share thoughts of what we've read. I use Google docs for smaller buddy reads so everyone has a place to go to, but this group might be too big for that to work effectively so we'll have to figure that part out.
They can be a lot of fun and very insightful! :)

[Jan]

The first Monday in Feb is actually the 1st, the 2nd week then would be the eighth. Can we make one of these a starting date? I can make both work :)

[Christine]

I vote for Feb 1

[Diane Lynch]

Can we start a new discussion here under the title of the book?

[Pia]

A big buddy read sound great!
I like the February 1 date, but I'm open to what you all decide.

[Sean, Moderator]

Yes we can add it to our Readalong for February.

Fire on Ice.

But please don't forget also booked with us is Martin Link

Readalong and Q & A with author Martin Link.

Who will be doing a special at the end of this month, and a price.

[Sean, Moderator]

Our Readalong has been a huge success and really is a buddy read.

This month our very popular Buddy Read/Readalong is going great with Susan May.. The Messengers.

Susan is giving the book free, just e-mail her.

[Janet , Moderator]

Understood, Sean, but The Girl On Ice one will be slightly different insofar as the author not being involved. A more chilled approach and one being led by members rather than Mods! :)

The Susan May one has gone well. I'm pleased. :)

[Diane Lynch]

I'm in. Got my first 2 Netgallery reads. The Girl in the Ice and Supernatural Serial Killers. Woot! Woot!

I am afraid. I'm already Over Booked! LOL

Good for you, Diane! :)

nah! You can never have too many books *:D

[Sue]

That's great Diane. Join the crowd!

[Diane S ☔]

Looking forward to this buddy read.

Approved for All the Missing Girls: A Novel and Under the Harrow: A Novel.

[Christine]

Both those look really good, Diane, despite the fact they are both likened to the other "Girl" books. Why do the publishers continue to make those ridiculous comparisons? It's become laughable. And what is the deal that all psych suspense books have to have "Girl" in the title? Not the way to make your book stand out from the crowd. Dumb marketing.

[Diane S ☔]

I hate when they compare books to others too, but it must help market them or they wouldn't do it. Girl and baby seem to be common words in thrillers lately.

[Janet , Moderator]

Which is ridiculous because many of us are feeling the same way now. If it has the tag like Gone Girl or The Girl On The Train, it's putting me off. Wonder if authors are frustrated too.

[Christine]

You know, I am not really put off from reading these as the so-advertised books seem nothing like Girl on a Train to me. I just ignore that stuff the best I can. It's just ridiculous though.

[Janet , Moderator]

I understand that but the tag lines are so damned annoying. Then the next big thing will happen and it'll be that!

I'm just catching up with this conversation. Sue I wish you the best with your surgery. Take good care of yourself.

[Patricia]

There is to be a buddy read for The Girl In The Ice ?

Thanks Pat.

[Janet , Moderator]

We're hoping so, Pat.

[Christine]

Can we have a thread close to the time, Janet?

[Janet , Moderator]

Yes, absolutely. I was wondering where to put it ...... because I'd like the threads to stay next to each other.

So, *inspiration just hit, has been known to happen on the rare occasion! ;) * I'm thinking ..... what if I set up a Netgalley Folder then any threads relating to it like this buddy read and maybe future ones can stay in the same place!

I think that would work. What do you think gang?

[Diane Lynch]

Brilliant Janet‼️

[Diane Lynch]

My name repeated on its own above.

[Diane Lynch]

And again. Thank you Goodreads. ??

[Diane Lynch]

I guess I have to investigate this

Perfect solution!

[Elaine - Splashes Into Books]

Just to tempt some of you, there's another thriller on offer from Bookouture released on NetGalley today - Last Prophecy of Rome Last Prophecy of Rome by Iain King . . . yes, I succumbed and have been to get myself a copy!

[Theweebarrell]

i just got approved for girl in the ice and would like to join the buddy read

[Vera]

Great idea, Janet!

[Diane S ☔]

Bookoutre is probably wondering why we are all requesting this book.

[Christine]

Because it looks really good?

[Patricia]

I'm trying for it.

[Patricia]

I am thrilled, I got approved for The Woman in Blue by Elly Griffiths Yaa! She is one of my favorites!

[Sandysbookaday (taking a step back for a while)]

I have that one too Pat! Hope you get The Girl In The Ice as well! *:D

Then The Fog Clears by Lea Thompson

Excited for all 3! (And I'm still under 10 with these 3, yay!)

[Linda]

There must be an epidemic of The Girl in the Ice by Robert Bryndza in NetGalley. Was just approved yesterday for that. Happy, but was denied 14 Days to Die which I really, really wanted.
