Oh Cary, that is so fast. I was thinking of 2 chapters or 3 max. Let's settle for 3, ok?
Yup, we are all set. I've created the thread. Hope others can join us. Heathcliff yata yong name ng guy. May mahabang intro pa ang edition ko. Babasahin ko na ng Sunday.
3 chapters/day is okay with me. All set for Monday. :)
I'll be reading
by Saturday. Who wants? :)
Krizia: Tintin will be getting my copy (as giveaway) of Wicked during the meet up on July 23. Maybe you want to wait for her?Tintin! :) *hollering*
When you two are about to read Son of the Witch (Book 2) please tell me so I can join you as buddies. It's been in my tbr since ages. :)
wanted reading buddies for A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
@K.D.: I'll try to wait, I'm not good with waiting..haha I already have Son of the Witch, just have to read this one first.@kWESI: May "Wicked" ka na?
@Po: sayang, katatapos ko lang ire-read yan.
Sige, read it na. Then we can buddy read Son of the Witch! Oh I need to find out what happened to Glenda the green witch ha ha! Time to be like child again!
@Krizia: I read it 3 years ago. Haha. One of my hard to read and most recommended book although only few like it.
I heard my name? XDSure I'm up for a buddy read of Wicked after K.D. generously gives me his copy :)
Krizia cannot wait for you Tintin ha ha!
Sige I think I will wait. Its just that its next on my to-read list and I can be very rigid. I love my lists!!! Haha
Thank you for waiting Krizia and I hope your list becomes longer and longer
Aw, thanks Krizia!How will we pace ourselves? According a quick google search WICKED is divided into 5 parts with more sub-parts.
1. Munchkinlanders: 8 sub-parts
2. Gillikin: 3 sub-parts
3. City of Emeralds: No sub-parts
4. In the Vinkus: 3 sub-parts
5. The Murder and It's Afterlife: No sub-parts
I have to tell you in advance though that for a buddy read I need at least 2 weeks to read and post about the book so if you're itching to finish the book fast I won't be the best partner for a buddy read.
I admire your discipline with the lists, though ;)
wanted: Reading buddies for A wrinkle in Time
Hey! I would like to join reading the Son of a Witch, too. Had my copy last year but never have the urge to pick it up. I read many negative reviews about it :(

Its up to you. How fast do you want it to be? :)
OK Game...Sa Pula o sa Puti?..hahaha
@Krizia: Uhmm kinda hard to gauge without having the actual book in front of me but... how about 2 days each per Major Part? There are 5 parts so 10 days total. Can you check your copy and see if that's feasible?
I agree Tintin. It's an easy read but it is bewildering because of Glenda's strange nature ha ha. Macguire's prose is light and funny. Oh I loved this book.

I was hooked with the series even before the TV series was released, but man the show was awesome! :D
Sige, let's ready Hollinghurst! Booker Winner! Gay power ha ha!
cge Hollinghurts din ako hahaha etet chiwa!...chuva chenis!...
May gay theme pala ito ang The Line of Beauty? Kakatapos ko rin lang ng The Master eh, haha.At mukhang mahaba-haba siya ha!
Mahaba talaga sila. Mahilig ang mga gays sa mahahaba. ha ha
Parang di naman siya pang gays? And remember, ito ang tumalo sa Cloud Atlas sa Booker.
The Line of Beauty is interesting, but I wanted to read the The Swimming-pool Library before that.There was a review I've read that said, "The Swimming-pool Library was the party and The Line of Beauty is the hang-over."
Happy reading! They say that Alan Hollinghurst is very good with his prose.
Correct, Angus. Tinalo ang "Cloud Atlas"? What an upset! ha ha

Cary: Let's decide tomorrow. Tingnan ko muna mamaya sa bahay. I don't mind slowing down kasi alam ko na ang story. I want to focus on the writing. Yon kasing Anna Karenina di ko alam ang kumpletong ending so medyo nabibitin ako kapag nag-slow down.
Pero dito behave ako. Napagalitan ako ni Regine eh.
