Katherine - we are pretty casual here so even if any of us fall behind we can always come back and discuss anytime :)

Anyone up for a buddy read of ? I really need incentive to read this one and continue with the series. I've been stuck on it for a couple of years.

[Lauren]

Anyone interested in a buddy read of - book #4 in The Hollows series?

[Kris (My Novelesque Life)]

Lauren - Mary Beth and I were just talking about that yesterday - doing a buddy read for the fourth book I'm in.

Yay! I was thinking May or even June. Is that good for you?

[Kris (My Novelesque Life)]

Either works for me.

[Lauren]

We'll wait for Mary and then decide.

[Jonetta]

I can join if you do it in June.

[Lauren]

Jonetta wrote: "I can join if you do it in June."

Sounds good to me.

[Jonetta]

I was thinking last week I needed to get back to this series.

[Lauren]

Jonetta wrote: "I was thinking last week I needed to get back to this series."

Yeah, a lot of people in my other groups are talking about it so it got back on my radar.

[Mary Beth]

Wow Lauren! You must of been reading Kris's and mine minds because we just talked about this the other night. June sounds good to me because I will be reading the third book next month.

[Lauren]

Great. Let's set it up for June.

[Kris (My Novelesque Life)]

That sounds great! Thanks for posting this Lauren!

No problem! I love buddy reads :0)

Ellie, I have this in my TBR but am not sure when I'll be able to get to it. Have you started it yet?

I'd love to have an excuse to finish up this series. Let me know when you get up to Agatha Raisin and the Witch of Wyckhadden

Well, I still haven't tackled the first book. I'm not sure Ellie responded to tell the truth. So this series is off the immediate shelf for the time being unless I could get someone maybe to buddy with me from the beginning. You know, for motivation LOL.

[Christina T]

Dlyn I'd love to read the Agatha Raisin books with you. I started the Joanne Carl series awhile ago but only read the first and maybe the second. Not sure if I'd be able to read both series at the same time though. It sometimes takes me 10 days to 2 weeks to finish a book depending on what's going on at work and home.

[Anita]

I love the Agatha Raisin TV series and have thought about reading the books. Can I join too? A book a month would be a good pace for me.

[Jonetta]

When you three decide you want to start, I’ll set up the threads for you. Since it’s an entire series, okay to set it up in the discussion group? Up to you as it can be here, too. Just depends on the discussion format you’d like.

[Christina T]

Lots of chatter going on in this thread. I love this! One a month would work best for me as well. August would be great to start.

[Jonetta]

Okay. I’ll set up the series buddy read here and link to discussions in the discussion group, beginning next month.

[Jonetta]

Thank you Jonetta!

[Jonetta]

Very welcome.

[Jonetta]

FYI, I’m reading Fatal Reckoning by Marie Force right now. We have an ongoing folder for the Fatal series in the book discussion group (#1) and I’ve added this book along with the character list.

Hi

I want to start reading The Girl in the Ice series if anyone wants to buddy read them with me?

[Siobhan]

I have started Carla Kovach series, am starting Her Pretty Bones if anyone wants to buddy read them? 😁

I read The Girl in the Ice and planned on continuing the series. If you are still reading after the holidays, I'll buddy read with you. I have too much going on to commit to reading anything right now.

That would be great, I haven't read the girl in the Ice yet but I will catch up with that one and get back to u after Xmas

Sounds good!

[Jonetta]

That’s the Detective Erika Foster series, right? I’ve wanted to begin that series forever but don’t think I can fit it in right now. I’ll follow where you go here.

Yes I am starting the 1st book, it will be after Xmas now id say

[Sharon]

Jonetta,

I enjoyed the first book in the series. Erika Foster is a complicated character like Kim Stone. However, her demons are recent unlike Kim's past. It is an excellent procedural with a good twist.

[Jonetta]

Siobhan, do you want me to set up the first book now as a buddy read to begin after December 25?

Sharon & Siobhan: Would you like me to set up the second book to begin in January?

[Sharon]

That works for me.

Yes please that would be great Jonetta

I would like to find a buddy - or buddies - to read the Det. Josie Quinn series by Lisa Regan with. I read her book Vanishing Girls this month and was hooked. I would like to read books more in the series and it's always fun to have some friends to chat with as you go along.

DL I've read the first six books in the series. I'm willing to discuss the series and join in when you catch up. There are some questions on the JD Robb series forum too.

[Charlene]

D.L. -- When would you begin this buddy read? I might be able to join the first of the new year.

[D.L.]

Hey there. I can wait to begin til the new year. It might be best because I have so many challenges to finish anyway. Maybe we could start in January with book 2: The Girl With No Name ??

[Charlene]

That sounds good to me. I just have ordered Vanishing Girls from my state library system, so I should get that first book read before the new year. Thanks!

[Charlene]

Sorry, I am so far behind in reading from the giant tbr PILES of books in my home. If I catch up, I'll find You!

I love this series but I'm already on book 14. Sorry!

[Jonetta]

I made it up to book 6.
