Kritika (spidersilksnowflakes) Patrick Ness's newest book IS OUT! I know there's a Chaos walking cult in here somewhere, so if you'd like to join in the fun of reading More Than This More Than This by Patrick Ness , I've made a thread here.

Okay, I just realized that The House of Hades (The Heroes of Olympus, #4) by Rick Riordan releases Oct 8th!!! That came fast! I have yet to read The Mark of Athena (The Heroes of Olympus, #3) by Rick Riordan . I'd kind of like to reread the first 2 as well, because its been a LONG time since I've read them! Anyone up for joining me in any of these? There isn't a huge rush or anything, but I would like to get to House of Hades by the middle of November.

Also, Allegiant (Divergent, #3) by Veronica Roth comes out Oct 22nd!!! I assume there are people who would love to buddy read that?

Karen and Jen and anyone else, Horde (Razorland, #3) by Ann Aguirre come out Oct 29th!!!!

Ack! I'm with you on PJ, it's been a long time since I read any of them and I'm a few books behind I think :(


message 618: by Lola (new)

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments I would love to buddy read Allegiant! Although I probably receive my copy a bit late, because I pre-ordered it on The Bookdepository and it usually takes them 10 days to ship a book to me.

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments David wrote: "We can wait for you Lola!"

Thanks, that would be awesome! I am really looking forward to Allegiant and as I don't have time to re-read the first 2 books I probably need some people to remind me what happened in the earlier books.


message 621: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin (caitlinsiem) | 409 comments I'm looking forward to Allegiant as well. I ordered the box set via amazon and they are pretty good about shipping. I might get the first two from the library to reread though because it's been too long since I've read either of them.

Yup, I might have to wait a little for my copy too! No worries, there!


message 623: by Cindee (new)

Cindee | 331 comments I'm in for Allegiant and Hord! My plan is to reread the Divergent series in time for her new book so it flows right in. And we read The Razorlands in a recent buddy read Yay!
ahem....side note: seriously addicted to The Knife Of Never Letting Go!

I haven't read Enclave yet, so I won't be joining you for Horde. And I really have no immediate interest in The Lost Hero series, so I also won't join in there. I have yet to read Throne of Glass, but I may be able to do that before the buddy read of Crown of Midnight. I'll see how far I get without the things I'm doing currently. Gotta steel myself up for Monsters this weekend. Good thing I went vegetarian a few months ago!

I'm reading
Days of Blood & Starlight (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #2) by Laini Taylor right now, but should be finished by the end of the weekend. I can start Sunday - I have a 2.5 hour drive so that would give me a good start

I'm good for Sunday!! :)


message 644: by Jen (new)

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments It's a date then. We start Friday - and I may be in and out next week. My laptop cursor decided to spazz out on some crazy acid trip and had to be rushed to the Genius Bar at the Apple store. Talk about a zoo! Apparently there is only one Apple store in Indiana that isn't in the Chicago area - anyway, the laptop is out of commission for 5-7 days. The Bug is letting me use hers, but I won't have it for most of next week. Hopefully I can use my mom's iPad and contribute from there. So if I'm off the grid for a couple of days, you'll know why --
Although there's always my iPhone too - which had to be replaced today . . . when it rains it pours!

Wait, what's Friday?

Sorry about your laptop and iPhone, Jen.

I've had one of those technology challenged weeks as well. IT was here all morning on Tuesday and I was on phone w support for a couple hours yesterday. Still waiting for all of them to get back to me.

Oh sorry to both of you, believe me, being the cursed one with tech, I understand!

Great book! I loved Days even more than Daughter, and the ending made me want to cry (I'm not telling you if those were happy or sad tears, so I'm not spoiling anything!)

Thanks! Actually, I lived in Castleton for 13 years. Now I'm in the center of the "Amish Triangle" formed by Shelbyville, Greensburg, and Rushville. My best friends live in Indy so it's nice to be home again (I just got back from NC a week ago). I love the Fashion Mall - so much great stuff and who doesn't love a Cheesecake Factory? : )
