I think we're going to delay the Fragments one a little, do you want to read Shatter Me with me now? Anyone else would be welcome to join too of course! We can start tomorrow, let me know what you think and I'll set up a thread woohoo!!

I can probably start Shatter Me tomorrow. :) I am about halfway through Stitch right now so I will probably finish that tomorrow morning at the latest and I already own Shatter Me. :D
Awesome! Let's start tomorrow, Here's a link to the thread:

How's Stitch? I thought about getting in on that Read to Review but wasn't sure I could fit it in ;)

It's really good! I'm thoroughly impressed by it. It was one of those on my to-read shelf that I just never really got around to because it wasn't a top priority but maybe it should have been! You should get in on the R&R if there's any more available. It's really different (mixing paranormal with dystopia) and I keep sneak reading chapters at work to see what's going to happen (thank you Kindle)! lol

Is everyone else ready now or should we wait a couple days and start Sat..."I can get it on audio but not until Friday. So if you want, go ahead and start without me and I'll catch up. This one should be really good!

Nope, we'll wait for you and Karen and maybe start it next weekend, would that work for everyone?

I probably won't be able to start until tomorrow afternoon/tomorrow night so you won't be too far behind Jen! :)

Wow, awesome, I might have to join!

Oops was Jen talking about Shatter Me or Fragments? I thought Fragments but I might've just been confused lol!
Probably Fragments. I just assumed everyone was talking about Shatter Me now and not paying attention otherwise, lol!
Yes Fragments. I think I'll pass on Shatter Me, but only because I'm working my way through Soul Screamers.
So Shatter Me for Meaghan and David for tomorrow, and Fragments for Karen, David, Jen, and Lolita, and I'm sure a few others starting next weekend? Did I get that right?
And thanks everyone for waiting for me!! I love you guys, too!! :-D

I will join in your discussion of Shatter Me, and will also join Fragments next week! Finishing Unravel Me tonight (yeah, I'm a little late on that buddy read lol!)
Jenny, maybe we can start either Clockwork Prince or Hunger next week or next weekend? Depending on who wants to read what and their schedule. :)

Can we wait a little longer on Hunger? If some of us are doing Fragments next weekend it'll probably be too much to handle (I'm pathetic if I try to read two books at once lol!). So Maybe the following weekend on Hunger? Or is that too late?

I don't mind waiting, David! I was just letting everyone know where I was at!
Meaghan we could do Clockwork Prince this weekend, if that's okay with Karen!

That works for me if it works for Karen! :). Then we can tentatively plan hunger the following weekend.

I'll read Clockwork Prince at the beach this weekend! ;-). I'll comment when I get back! My beach reading list is almost set. I love it! I have the Isolation novella. I plan on finishing up my reread of Partials and I'll read Clockwork Prince!

OK so let me get this straight. Currently is Shatter Me. This weekend is Fragments and Clockwork Prince. Next week (or later) is Hunger.Do I have that right? Our buddy reads DO rock! And Karen have a fabulous trip! Get a tan for me too! : )
Next weekend is Fragments, the week after that is Hunger. This weekend, looks like Clockwork Prince. ;-D
Currently is Shatter Me! Hahahah....

A comment about Requiem (because I want to say this to my closest friends, and I can't find another place to say it) -- Read in Twitter feed - This explains a LOT about the Requiem ending:

I saw that a Fragments buddy read thread was started but could someone please set up a Clockwork Prince buddy read? Thanks! :)
I think we are going to start it in a few weeks Thomas. :) We have some other people joining in on the read also. I think this weekend we're reading Clockwork Prince, next weekend some people are starting Fragments, and then the following weekend is when everyone will be able to read Hunger. :D
How far is everyone in the Moon Dwellers series? Would anyone be interested in a Star Dwellers BR after we get past all the ones we currently have coming up (Fragments, Clockwork Princess, and Hunger)?
I thought I'd post the current schedule here for everyone since we started talking about it a bit off thread (in Clockwork Prince):5/3: Fragments (Partials #2)
5/7: Clockwork Princess (Infernal Devices #3)
5/10: Hunger (Gone #2)
5/14: The Star Dwellers (Dwellers #2)
Thanks, Meaghan!
I will read Star Dwellers with you! YAY! We can start after Hunger if that's okay with you!

That sounds good to me!! :) We can tentatively schedule for 5/14 in case anyone else wants to join in!
In case anyone else wants to read any of these with me, here's other books I plan on reading at some point this month. If anyone wants to join in just let me know and we can figure out a good time!Lies and possibly Plague
The 5th Wave
Under the Never Sky
Anna Dressed in Blood
The Iron King
And also possibly:
Warpaint
The Scorch Trials
City of Bones
I do plan on reading Under the Never Sky eventually (I need an U for my a-z challenge), I probably will have time to read it this month.
Lolita wrote: "I do plan on reading Under the Never Sky eventually (I need an U for my a-z challenge), I probably will have time to read it this month."Whenever you get closer to finding time to read it just let me know and I can add it to the ongoing May schedule! :)
I would be willing to read The Scorch Trials with you! We'll have to figure out when to do the rest of the Gone series. I didn't think the 5th Wave was released until June?
I just looked, and the 5th Wave comes out next week :) I was thinking June for some reason...have to had that to my May wish list! lol
Meaghan wrote: "In case anyone else wants to read any of these with me, here's other books I plan on reading at some point this month. If anyone wants to join in just let me know and we can figure out a good time!..."I'm definitely in for Fifth Wave, Iron King, and City of Bones. Sign me up.
Yay Jen! I'm not going to be soloing too many books this month! I'll figure out when we can do buddy reads of those after we get thru the current schedule and see if anyone else wants to join in. :)
