I would do Starters, Unraveling, Timebound, and Incarnate (those would all be rereads)
I would love to read Poison Princess and Ender's Game as well!
So all of us said Timebound, should we do that one next?

Awesome, yes! Let's do Timebound next since all four of us (Holly, Jenny, Karen and me) are up for it, and then we can split up and do the rest in twos and threes :)
Here's the thread for Timebound: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
When should we start? I'm ready anytime!

Talk about convenient! I'm 81% of the way thru Timebound on my Kindle! I'm in!P.S. I've read Starters in print, but recently got it on audio and I'll be up for listening to it as a re-read. Also would love to do Incarnate. Or Poison Princess.

Perfect! I'll join you for all of those :)
Also - whenever we're finished with those, can we do Crewel and then Altered by Gennifer Albin? I want to re-read Crewel before I start in earnest on Altered. All the better to do it with my buds.
I will do Crewel, Jen, I have it in hardback! And then if I like it (I'm sure I prolly will!) I'll do Altered too!!
And Karen,
comes out next week, so we'll have to get to that one soon!! :)
Love this! Buddy reads are the BEST THING EVER!!

And, yeah, Erased!!

Hugely looking forward to 'Into the Still Blue' too. And I hope the ending will be more satisfying than 'Allegiant' was. (And I'm not referring to a particular facet of the ending - the book disappointed me on many levels.)
I know, right? I had such high hopes for the divergents when they emerged. I thought they would find the smouldering ruins of a world that would perish without their leadership, yet apart from wandering around in circles in the HQ, they didn't really do anything, didn't even seem needed.

I'm with you completely :( Do you want to read Into the Still Blue with us when it comes out? Would be great to have you!

Yes, that was very irritating. And parts of the book were so boring...a lot of it made no sense! Then there was Champion by Marie Lu...now THAT is the way to end an amazing dystopian series! Loved the Legend trilogy all the way through!!
So glad you are joining us for Into the Still Blue! I have a feeling it will be a very well participated in buddy read!

Hi Jenny,And important scenes like the death serum were over in a page. The scenes with the serums in the first novels, like when Four took her in to see what troubled him, were long and suspenseful. It's like Roth was just trying to wrap it up as soon as she could and be done with it.
I got the feeling the book was rushed as well, Peter. Not sure if that was from the publisher side or Roth's. Oh, well, its over now. I have a different version in my head, and I will pretend that's what really happened! lol

The Maze Runner is so good, I hope you find someone to read it with you! When you get to the Scorch Trials, I will read that with you!

I'd read The Maze Runner with you, Taja, but have already read it 3 times! Not sure I have another reread in me yet. ;)

That's what ruined it for me.
So what's up next? We talked about all of these - which would you like and when?
also, I'm still working on
which is really good! It's about alternate universes, political intrigue, a possible romance (but so far only the hint of one), and kidnapping. Pretty good stuff. It's taking me awhile to get thru, though, so I'd be up for a buddy read and a discussion of it.
@Book. A buddy read is when two people or a group of people read one book at the same time and talk about it. You can also give motivation to others so they can read more than what they usually read.Does that answer your question?

Jen, do you want to start Incarnate when our buddy read of Unraveling is over? Unraveling starts on Thursday, but it's a quick read so should be ready to start Incarnate on Sunday, would that work? Anyone else for Incarnate?
