Lol! I feel left out :( Just kidding, it's my own fault for not keeping up :) But thanks for saying that!
Awww, don't feel left out! You'll read it eventually I'm sure, and we can discuss it again then! :)
If it makes you feel better, I haven't started any of the series you guys are planning on doing Buddy Reads for, so I can't join in on those! lol
If we find another book none of us have read, I will! lol Actually, I've been enjoying chatting about the ones I've already read, but I'm so far behind on all the other series you guys are thinking about. I thought about picking up Partials to do the Fragments Buddy Read, but I just have so many books to read already! lol (My husband would kill me if he knew how much money I've spent on books in the last 6 months and haven't read!)
I was going to put Partials & Fragments on hold at the library, but they don't have Fragments yet. Boo!

Eek! I've read Hush, Hush already. I think we're waiting for Lolita to get Fragments, she's ordered it but it takes a couple weeks to reach her so maybe another week or so ;)

I just finished reading the whole Hush, Hush series! I reread the first 3, then finally got to read the last one, which was really good!
I need to read
to catch up with David and Karen, Jen, if you are interested in that one. Otherwise, I have several on my TBR pile!

Lol I probably won't be up for any of those anytime soon :) But that's ok, I'm sure we'll get together for one soon!
I made a list of all the kindle books I've bought and haven't read yet, and it's WAY higher than I expected!Is there anyone left who hasn't read
or
? I got the sequels to both from Netgalley, but I haven't read these yet, so if anyone's up for one...

I haven't read The Immortal Rules but I haven't decided whether I'm going to read it yet. Plus I think I have too many to read on my Kindle right now. Sorry :(

David, I somehow haven't read Shatter Me yet either, even though it's been on my kindle for a while now. I'll read it with you at some point if you want. :)

Aww yay!! That would be great! We'll work out a time to read it together after you've read some of the ones you've got on your list :) No hurry!

Dang, I've read The Immortal Rules and Pushing the Limit looks contemporary. Not really into those. We'll keep looking! :-)

The only one I can do since I haven't read any of the other first books is The Way We Fall. But you guys go ahead. I would be interested in Breaking Point too! I would read Article 5 really quick.

Ohhhh, sounds good! Jenny wanted to reread the first two before reading #3.

Well that sounds like a plan! You ladies want to do Clockwork Angel next? We can start anytime for me!

Yes, read those ones ladies, I'll wait to read Clockwork Princess when all of you are ready ;)

I am still waiting for my copy of Fragments to arrive. It was shipped on 3 April, so it can take anywhere from 13 April till 17 April to arrive.I haven't read
yet and would love to buddy read it, but I am a bit busy with review books at the moment. I am currently reading a review book and already have 2 lined up after it, which all must be read soon. And then I am still waiting for 3 other ARC's for review, really I wonder how I gotten myself into so many review books in the same month.
I'm up to wait a week or two. I'm in the middle of like five series right now so I wouldn't mind getting caught up on a couple of those first. But just let me know what we decide.
I am rather frustrated. It seems that I have the same problem with
that I previously had with
-- my library offers them as audiobooks in WMA format, but they can't be downloaded to an iPod because of licensing.I can get
, but I'll have to (gasp!) actually pay for it. Apparently it's good enough, though - so I'm in if you want to start it.. I'm about to start tiling a bath vanity and setting in sinks, so I will be needing a great story to compensate for all the plumbing issues I'm sure I'll face. ; )
I'm probably going to be starting
at some point this week so I can do the buddy read of
when we do it. So if anyone if interested in reading that with me, let me know! :)
I really hope my copy of Clockwork Princess arrives soon. Going to be weird to read a hardback cover...I've become so used to ordering the kindle versions, but I simply had to have a hard copy. Can't wait!! Might still have to buy the soft cover to match the other ones. LOL.

I'm not usually into contemporary either, but I've heard good things about both Pushing the Limits and Dare You To, so I decided to give them a shot.
Lolita, no worries. I have a lot of review books, too. Actually The Eternity Cure is one of them, so I have to read The Immortal Rules first, obviously.I haven't read the Clockwork series yet either. But should I read The Mortal Instruments first?
DeAnna, you don't have to. It has a few characters from TMI, but you can start there and not really miss anything. The only problem is Infernal Devices is a lot better than TMI, so you might be disappointed if you read TMI second. But its totally your call!
Okay, I think Clockwork Princess sounds like a plan. I will take it with me this weekend, and it will be great to reread a favorite book of mine :) I'll try to get online to update as much as I can, but it might not be a lot. Is someone going to set up a thread?
I am interested in reading Gone, but I don't think I will be able to start that one until Monday.

Wait, are we doing clockwork princess or starting at the beginning of that series? I still have that whole series. If everyone is on the third, I can catch you all om the next buddy read. :)

Lol I thought a bunch of people were still catching up on this series so there might be a buddy read of Clockwork Angel and Clockwork Prince first. Then when everyone who's interested is caught up, we can do a buddy read of Clockwork Princess. Does that sound ok? Of course, if you're keen to read it now, no need to wait for us!

Let's do Clockwork Angel this weekend for those of us who haven't read it yet or who want to reread or who just want to jump in and chat!!
Friday start? Evening for me that is. ;-).
Jenny, you mean Clockwork Angel, right? You must be going crazy right about now. :(
I'll set up a buddy read thread for us in the morning! :-).

Hi Amanda! It's very flexible, basically members just suggest books to buddy read and then anyone is welcome to read and discuss with us :) Sometimes it's two people reading, but lately we've had several people in each buddy read. Currently, there's one buddy read starting, for
http://www.goodreads.com/topic/group_...
You can also suggest a buddy read and see if anyone's interested :) Here are some other books that some of us are planning on buddy reading soon:
Let me know if you have any questions!
