@aikaterine RE: Legendborn: Works for me!
Mod
Don’t worry I was a little confused too lmao. Aikaterine wanted to read Dance of thieves with us but can’t in October, so I figured we’d read Caraval and Final offer in October and Dance of thieves and addie la rue in November.
If you do want to read final offer in October do you mind making the schedule? I don’t have a physical copy is all and I don’t plan on buying one (bcs the spines don’t match up😭). I typically schedule it being around 50 pages a day and see where the chapters land within that.
@Hafs @Carmilla/In a glass darklyThis is the order according to Wikipedia. The first three ar short stories, I think we can read them in a day. Is this schedule okay? ^^
October 1st: Green Tea
October 2nd: The familiar
October 3rd: Mr. Justice Harbottle
October 4-7: The room in the dragon volant
October 8-11: Carmilla
@Jen K @A venom dark and sweet
I'm pretty overbooked (literally) this month so you can schedule as you prefer, the end, middle or end of the month as you please <3 2 or 3 chapters a day is a good pace for me~

@Bopeep, oh no, that is what I saw when I moved to the BR thread. You are amazing with all the BRs! There are 46 chapters and an epilogue. If we do 16 days at about 3 chapters a week, I will propose Oct 12 to start as that is when I return home from holiday.

@Leslie If you’re still looking for a buddy read, I’d be happy to read through The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches with you!
But: I’ve never done a buddy ready before, so if your TBR is still open for October, be patient with me!
@Jen K I'm pretty easy, I'd prefer the 2nd half of Oct but I see that you've already got a BR set for then as well.
Dia wrote: "@Jen K I'm pretty easy, I'd prefer the 2nd half of Oct but I see that you've already got a BR set for then as well."@Dia, I can still manage the second half of October. One BR is very slow. The one I have from 18th-22nd will be audio and this one will be kindle so I should be good.
Do you want to try the 17th to the 21st? About 6 chapters/ 50 pages a day?
Mod
@Jen K sounds good! could you make the schedule for it? thank you.

@Trizi
I would love to read The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches with you! Looking at my schedule of other buddy reads, I think the ideal time would be from October 23rd through the 31st. If that works for you, then I can write up the schedule accordingly.
@Leslie — Yes! Perfect! Thank you for taking care of the schedule! I’ve never done a buddy read before so I appreciate you taking the reigns!
Dia wrote: "@Jen K sounds good! could you make the schedule for it? thank you."@Dia, YES, I've just been out straight with work but will set up by Friday.

Oct 18: Thornfield Hall - "Take Care Miss Aire"
Oct 19: The Lady's Maid - Intertwined

I said I would meet you in the threads and I never showed up 😂🫣
I’m good for the 19th! Looks like there’s 52 chapters plus an epilogue and a prologue. Do you have a preferred pace?

If it's still not last minute can I get in on this?
Mod
It's not too late, it mostly never is if the buddy read hasn't started or if it hasn't finished. Any anyone can join without even asking if they may.
At the moment, as I'm typing this, there is no thread for this BR but it'll be made in about an hour or so.
