Anyone interested in reading any of these books in May?

I actually do still want to read this one (I read the first 2 volumes a few years ago and wanted to reread those and finally read the others). I have physical copies of these so I'm not sure about the availability of the online version.
Let me know if you're able to find it and we can set a date for the BR.

Melanie wrote: "I just grabbed these 2 as my free Amazon Prime Reads for this month if anyone wants to buddy read either of these."I just picked those two as well so I can buddy with you :) Shall we do the short one (Death Row) this week? Any day but Friday is good for me. And Bold-Faced Liar some time next week?
Does anyone else want to reread the 1st Crescent City before jumping in for the BOTM? 
Mod
[bookcover:Bald-Faced Liar|2204456..."How about Wednesday (the 7th) for Death Row and the 13th for Bald-Faced Liar?

Thinking forwards a bit, here are some June and onward possibilities... anyone interested? I know a couple of people voted for Djinns and White Nights for BOTM a while ago, so I'll add them here too...Standalones:
Series:
Just some suggestions! And anything from my TBR toppler, always lol: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Ooh, I forgot to say, I'll be rereading
next week in case anyone wants to buddy it! It's a great book :D

Looks like it's still free online! I'm pretty booked up, but since it's a graphic novel I can squeeze it between other reads ;) When works for you? (Preferably not next week as I have four buddies and two to read for in person book clubs lol)

I have been meaning to read
How about 16 June?
I've also been wanting to read the Iliad and Odyssey (saw them on your TBR toppler) - maybe we revisit this later?

How about near the end of the month? The 29th?

Perfect for [book:White Nights|1772910] :D I'll look forward to that one - see what the fuss is about lol.
And definitely I'd be up for the Illiad and the Odyssey - have you got the same versions as me? It's the latest translation, all by a female translator (for the first time, I believe). Emily Wilson - translator came and talked at a bookshop in my nearest city and I bought both books on the spot because she was so inspiring!

Perfect! That should be fun!
@Ellen-Arwen I'll request a thread for White Nights later if you haven't already.
Thanks for pointing out the versions/translator of The Iliad and Odyssey. I'll have to look into what I have and we'll see how to.
Mod
"Ooh,..."
Here's the thread.

I've started but I can hold off finishing and wait for you if you were interested.
Jessica wrote: "Melany wrote: "Jessica wrote: "Does anyone want to read this series with me since the final one comes out Tuesday? [bookcover:A Curse Carved in Bone|2166..."I don't think it's something I can get to right away so I think you should just go ahead
Anyone fancy buddying
?Unexpectedly early from the library! :D
Melanie wrote: "Is anyone interested in buddy reading any of these series (starting anywhere from the end of April onward)?

I'd probably say end of June onwards; I have some many things to read in between lol. Are you still up for it?
Sorry for third post in a row :P I don't know if it's the same in the US and the UK, but is anyone looking at the monthly 2 for 1 sale on audible? There's loads of boxsets in there that I've usually sort of ignored because they have very few reviews, and some look sort of... trashy? Sorry for being a snob - I have only glanced at them!
But sometimes easy reads/listens are fun for downtime, and I wondered if anyone had a fancy for tackling a big series with me? I don't really know anything about them apart from the (pretty badly written) blurbs, but it's nice to have a big series on the go (if it's good enough, if you know what I mean. Doesn't have to be great, just good enough not to stop listening in disgust lol).
Here are some thoughts - there are a TON. These just kinda caught my eye:
Mod
Yes, I'd love to still read it! I started the series a few years but only got a couple books in so I'd love to reread those and actually read the whole series this time.
End of June is perfect as I have so many other buddy reads to finish. Does June 25th work for you as a start date?
Mod
I need to read
in June. If anyone wants to join, LMK!!

I somehow missed voting for BOTM :( But I saw 4 people voted for
- does anyone want to buddy some time in June?And 4 for
- anyone up for that some time?
