I'm considering it, but I might not be able to join the buddy read in time :( I've been neglecting Brew but now I have all my beta feedback so I've got to get to work!

I really want to get to
, but I'd be willing to wait if you want to do
first. Karen, I cannot believe you're reading
.But hey, if you're going to jump into contemporary you might as well throw an alien in there for good measure! LOL! I am dying to hear what you think of it. I'm on the fence about Jennifer Armentrout, even though I do love that particular series. If you're listening to Obsidian, I can tell you right now that Justine Eyre totally ruined the first book for me. I read them in print and liked them much, much better. I just couldn't take the whine in her voice.

I got the cutest little sundress there for $10. Of all places, and of course I wanted to buy everything so it's a good thing I didn't even go into West Elm or Crate and Barrel. (lol) I loved the food court, so many healthy choices. You're right, it has changed a lot, and for the better! Unfortunately for us, though, Barnes and Noble is across the street and not actually in the mall. Driving to the next parking lot over is just so difficult. First world problem. : )

I will join in Steelheart--I just got it from the library! Yes, I finally broke down and went to the library the other day!
Sounds great for Obisidian, too!

Brew is far more important, Steelheart will be there to read later :)

Ditto!
Friday works! I should be done with
tonight.
And Jen, I don't think I knew
was a contemporary. Ha! 2 in a row! I'll increase my comparative %'s with both of you at this rate.

Obsidian is a contemporary with a sci-fi twist. I don't know alot about it, except its addictive. I bought
today. I have all the rest as ebooks.

I'm excited! ;-)"I'm tempted to jump in and join you, since I've just had my heart completely and utterly broken by Gayle Forman in Just One Day (did this woman to go the Lauren Oliver school of how to write an ending?). I need a happy ending. I've read the whole Lux series and thoroughly enjoyed it. Maybe I should join you, since I know where each book goes from here - don't be surprised if I jump in. : )

Hey thanks! :)
I couldn't wait any longer (I know, I'm a terrible terrible cheater!) but I just started
and set up a buddy read thread :)

No pressure to start reading it immediately (unless you really want to lol), but I'll start posting my thoughts with spoilers as I go!

Yes. I'm reading the Divergent trilogy this weekend. I decided I needed to read the first 2 books before starting Allegiant. I'm going to marathon read this weekend. I have no other plans and don't have to work.
You guys can start though and I'll catch up. ;-)

Hey I just got
- apparently it's dystopia/scifi/horror. Anyone up for buddy reading it before Halloween gets here? Maybe late next week after
?
OK Karen - I vote we go for
first, since Halloween is tomorrow. I'll set up the thread. Then we can do Steelheart - sound ok?
Releases today!!!So, buddy read...I assume most of you are in...just when? Would this weekend work for everyone?
I have it already! Hopefully, I'll be able to start tonight!! So I'm definitely up for this one! I'll probably put Iron Knight on hold for this one (even though I'm loving that one).
I'm in -- maybe. I'm still working through Divergent/Insurgent/Allegiant right now. Then I think I want to do Prodigy just to refresh - then I'll be ready for Champion. And can I just say I CANNOT WAIT!!!!! Honestly, for me . . . forget Allegiant! I've been waiting for Champion!
All right, I'll set up a thread! I'll put Friday as the start date, but really we can all start whenever!

We always do anyway! ;-P

LOL so true, Karen! I probably won't start until Friday, though, got lots of library books and eARCs to get caught up on!
Ahhh! Because I'm on a tiny island at the moment, I haven't been able to get wifi for my Kindle (I just have a usb stick for my laptop. So I can't get Champion until the 15th :( I'll join as soon as I've got it!
LOL it's worth it! Best snorkeling ever here! Gili Menno in Indonesia rocks!! (except for the terrible internet)
I'm with you on the terrible internet - but unfortunately, there's no tropical island (and incredible snorkeling) to offset it. And I like to whine . . . there is that -- I am full of envy David! Could I just please have your life? I promise I won't complain about the wifi --
Yup I'm officially jealous of you this time, David! I would love being there! So happy you guys are having a great time :)
Has anyone watched the movie, Couples Retreat? I love that movie, and I was watching it again the other day. Its about 4 couples that are best friends that go to this amazing resort on some island that's all about helping couples reconnect because one of the couples are contemplating getting a divorce. The other 3 couples just want the vacation part of it, but they get there and find out they all have to go to couples counseling at 6 am every morning, and the 3 other couples want to bail. My reaction? I'll sit in counseling for 3 hours every day if I get to stay in paradise!!! Who cares? lol

Hahaha! Those benefits definitely offset the crappy internet, but I just worry that I'll miss something happening with all of you awesome people!
OMG Couples Retreat is HYSTERICAL! Love that movies :)

I know, right? I watched it twice in the movie theaters! The first time with my girlfriends (we laughed SO hard!) and the second time with Darryl. I dragged him to it cuz I knew he'd love it. I was right! Then I had to buy it when it came out on DVD! I have no idea how many times I've watched it, but I still laugh every time!
Awww, we will still be here!

I have a few books in mind that I feel like reading, and after a round or two joining others on buddy read, I am kind of thinking, hmm.. why not getting into it? ^.^So the few choices I have are:
In Dec I might practically have plenty of time reading, but Nov generally I am going to be a bit slow - till end of the month I will be fast on reading again. If anyone is interested, let me know. ^.^
I have read all three of those already, Paige, so I will join in with the discussion! I know several people in the group just bought Eleanor & Park, so a buddy read of that sounds like a good idea!
Karen, I am ready for
after this weekend!
