That would be fine with me. Maybe end of the month or even July? That would give me a chance to polish off some other series.
OK, I'll put it for first week of July but we can see whenever we have time we can pick it up :) I'll set up the thread.
It makes me smile to see a the buddy reads going on. :)
Anyone interested in reading 
? I just realized 
is out and I'm a book behind?
Lis I'll read Blood Bound with you! I really love Rachel Vincent's writing so I can't wait to see what she has in store for us in this book.
Christine wrote: "It makes me smile to see a the buddy reads going on. :)"Yes! This thread has been hopping recently. : )
I love it, it's been getting me to read all those books I've had just sitting on my shelf!
I agree!! I had Red Headed Stepchild on my to read list for ages, thanks to this thread it's finally on my READ shelf!!!
Me too, for once I finally have more books on my READ shelf rather than the to-read shelf! It's so much fun having buddy reads.Lis I'll read blood bound too, depending on when it is :)
Anyone want to join me in a buddy read of #3 in the Corinne Solomon series by Ann Aguirre? I just started .... Shady Lady
I know it is short notice though. :)

Jeann, did you still want to buddy read Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison?
I know the buddy read for Kitty and the Midnight Hour is still going, so if you're still interested we can start Dead Witch Walking Monday (June 4).
I got the first two books in Larissa Ione's Lords of Deliverance from the library, anyone interested? I know the third book just came out. Also, it doesn't have to be both books, either/or works too.

How about June 6th? A week from today. I have a buddy read starting this weekend and one on Monday, but I should be done by Wednesday.
Anyone else reading
soon? I'm picking mine up at the library tonight, but probably won't actually start it until Sunday....
Christine wrote: "Anyone else reading soon? I'm picking mine up at the library tonight, but probably won't actually start it until Sunday...."Ahhhh!!! I'm like #1 million in the library's waiting list.

That stinks that you have to wait so long. But I will momentarily brag that I somehow ended up #1 on the wait list!! Yeah, me! I guess it pays to be a little OCD and go in five or six months ahead of time and recommend books for purchase to the library.
Christine wrote: "I guess it pays to be a little OCD and go in five or six months ahead of time and recommend books for purchase to the library. I DO THIS TOO!! Creeping the library online catalogue months in advance - very effective.
Sarah wrote: "Jeann, did you still want to buddy read Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison?I know the buddy read for Kitty and the Midnight Hour is still going, so if you're still..." Hey Sasha, Yup definitely still wanted to read
! I have 2 buddy reads lined up for the first 2 weeks of June though, for Ill Wind and Touched by an Alien so we can do that on the 3rd or 4th week if you want?
Sounds good to me! How about the sometime between the 18th and 22nd? That's the third full week of June.
Yup that sounds great! Put up the thread :) oops, just realised I called you Sasha, sorry about that!
Sarah and Jeann it looks like you are busy buddy readers... When does it work to squeeze in for a buddy read? June or do you want to wait until July? And if it has a compelling storyline will you be interested in continuing with ?
No worries Jeann, I'll set up a thread. I'm good to start in June. I'm free the first week of June or even the second week. My next buddy read doesn't start until June 18th.
ETA: Totally forgot about Eternal Rider, that starts on the 6th, but any time is pretty good for me. I can read more than one book at a time. LOL
Hey Lis, July looks like a good time for me. I've got a buddy read lined up almost every week so I can get through some to-reads! I've got Unholy Ghosts for the first week of July but free the rest of the time. Would definitely be interesting in continuing if it's a good read :)
July works for me too.
Jeann and Sarah I got it added here: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/9... And anyone else that is interested in joining us the 2nd week of July for Blood Bound please join us too!

"Actually, now that I checked, I'm #8 in the other library so I guess I'll get it within the month.
Christine...I noticed elsewhere that you are planning to read Web of Lies this month. It's on my monthly plan too, do you want to buddy read it?
Julianne wrote: "Christine...I noticed elsewhere that you are planning to read Web of Lies this month. It's on my monthly plan too, do you want to buddy read it?"I'd love too! I've got some other buddy reads starting tomorrow, so it would probably be around the 20 th or later until I could get to it. If it goes well I'm hoping to squeeze the third one in this month, too
Yay! The 20th sounds good to me. I've got big plans this month so I'm not sure I'll be able to fit the third one, I'm trying to use this month to make up some ground for my terrible May (only read 4 books).
Great. I set up a buddy read thread for
if anyone else wants to join. Start date around June 20http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/9...
I've got some 'second in a series' books that I need to finally read. I'm thinking July or August. Anyone interested in:
Christine, I'd be down to read either
or
and either July or August work for me. Just let me know.
How about
, starting around July 22/23?If we're still in the mood, we could always do
in August then.
That sounds like a perfect plan to me.
Hey everyone, Sarah, Christine and I are reading
in early July if anyone would like to join us. The thread is here. The more the merrier!!
Anyone interested in these for July:
and then possibly 
I'd like to re-read A&O, Sarah, but I need to re-read #1 first. If you find others to participate and create a thread, I'll jump in if I can get to #1 and start on 2-3.
Okay Steph, I'll see if anyone else joins otherwise I can wait until you read the first one. :)
Sounds good. :)
I've never done a buddy read before, what's involved? I have all A&O's but not read any of them yet. I can read book 1 and be ready to read 2&3 for July. I would love to do the Lord of Deliverance #2 as well if you don't mind me jumping in if I'm ready when you start?

I would love to do the Lord of Deliverance ..."Basically, we all read the same book around the same time and talk about it: things you liked, things you didn't like, scenes that made you laugh or made you cry. The amount and level of discussion kind of depends on the book and the folks involved in the read. I usually will post comments as I go along in the book, but you have to be careful about giving away spoilers if you're reading ahead of others. It can be a great way to get a different perspective on a certain scene or even an entire book. Or if there was something that confused you, someone might be able to explain it better. It's sometimes amazing the entirely different perceptions two people can have of the same scene.
Definitely feel free to jump into the Lord of Deliverance buddy read if you can.
Thanks Christine, think I might just do that :0)
Sarah wrote: "Okay Steph, I'll see if anyone else joins otherwise I can wait until you read the first one. :)"Hi, Sarah. I re-read the prequel last night and am about 15% through book 1. I'll be ready to read #2-3 in July, if you're still interested. If not, that's cool, lemme know and I won't wait till July to start them. ;)
Big release week... Anyone jumping on
or
???
