Cool! Holly, Are u a member of Casual Readers group?
That sounds like a good one, Kate. Have you read much Garton? I have only read Ravenous. It was awesome.
Adam join the buddy read for Lot lizard :-) it be fun. I agree with Kate Live Girls was brill
I would love to, Mehmet, but I do not have the book yet.
ooops sorry Adam. Well i do recommend Ray Garton and if you enjoyed Ravenous, be sure to check out some of his other works. :-)
No worries. I have Bestial in paperback, too. Will read it soon.
When i finished Kite Runner may be tempted to put my sci fi quest on hold if anyone wants to do a buddy read of The Freakshow by Bryan Smith with me ?
If anyone is interest in a zombies Buddy Read, the Zombies group is doing one on 100 Days in Deadland. We've been putting the buddy read discussion topics with the book instead of in the Zombies group.
=========================================
The buddy read has been broken up into four parts:
Part 1: Beginning, LIMBO, & LUST (113 pgs).
Part 2: HUNGER, GREED, & WRATH (116 pgs).
Part 3: ARROGANCE & VIOLENCE (86 pgs).
Part 4: MALICE & BETRAYAL, plus the afterword and end material (121 pgs)
The planned discussion schedule:
Part 1: Starting on November 16th.
Part 2: Starting on November 19th.
Part 3: Starting on November 22nd.
Part 4: Starting on November 25th.
Links to discussion topics:
Through part one
Through part two

My group discusses 25% per week but don't do separate folders, I like it being done that way so people who come in after the group read can still discuss each part. Does that group always do them that way?
Not problem Justin, when is best day for you to start ? Monday ?
yea that's fine. Just let me know how much you want to discuss per day or just do spoiler warnings or whatever. I'm ok with however you want to do it.

Does that group always do them that way?"This is only the second one we've done that way. It was my suggestion, for the very reason you cite. The other one was three parts. In both cases, I'm the one that set up the discussion topics.
It also allows those that are further into the book to go ahead and post comments that are fresh in their mind on the other topics.
One reason we are doing it on the book's web page is that the moderators of the group thought we'd have too many discussion topics in the Zombies group.
It also allows those to participate that don't belong to the Zombies group. Or, in the future, are looking for discussions on the book itself. Those topics will still be there, so they can review them.
Although there are a lot of comments back and forth not about the book. It's the nature of a buddy read. :)
I am hosting a buddy read of MR James short stories on the Classic Horror Lovers group. We are getting ready to start the third collection of short stories. This would be a good time to join in if you would like. There has been some decent discussion in the group so far.https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Cool, i just like the loose, read at your own pace thread with add spoilers so as not to ruin the story for others.
I sort out the Buddy Read link Saturday Justin and see if maybe anyone else wants to joins us for monday. Thanks ! Offer still open for suggested buddy read of The Freakshow by Bryan Smith...
I'd read it, but don't have it and prob can't squeeze it in. I may peek at your thread though:)
Why not Addy, you are welcome to join in the discussion of the thread when i set it up :-)
Hi Mehmet. I'm reading my first Bryan Smith book and really enjoying it so would love to join the buddy read.
Thanks Kate :-) I really enjoyed Depraved also so wanted try another one of his books. I be setting up the thread Saturday but starting to read Monday.
Yay! I'll be home soon and was wondering if anyone would like to read You Shall Never Know Security? Its an anthology and I would love to discuss the stories with someone.
Addy wrote: "Yay! I'll be home soon and was wondering if anyone would like to read You Shall Never Know Security? Its an anthology and I would love to discuss the stories with someone."Sure, I'm game.

Addy wrote: "Yay! I'll be home soon and was wondering if anyone would like to read You Shall Never Know Security? Its an anthology and I would love to discuss the stories with someone."I want to read this but have way too much scheduled.
Ok Ctgt. I've received it. I'm gonna set up a thread. Let me know if u change ur mind Justin.
Graveworm by Tim Curran anyone? Seems that quite a few have recently picked up the .99 kindle versions.
Mod
I read this one last year (pb version), and I would LOVE to join in this discussion!
Would anyone like to read Violet Eyes by John Everson?
Mod
edit: added it to the wish list…..Is it part of a series?
When are you looking to start it, Nikki?
Man, I'm not getting my updates again. I just started. I'm at 11%. Spiders and bugs and creepy things freak me out :)
I have never even seen a Curran pb, Katherine. That's cool!
I still have to read Violet Lagoon. You'd probably be finished before I got through it. LOL
Mod
Hag Night is available in paperback, too…though I so wish I had bought the kindle edition of that one. Print was too small for my eyes…sigh--I feel old!
Lagoon is super short. Maybe an hour read. I can waste time on the comp and wait for ya if you want~
Okay, I'll let you know when I've finished VL. :)
Is anyone interested in reading
with me. I love this story and want to get myself into the Xmas spirit.
