And like myself, also committed to about 10 other group reads next month?


message 1003: by Addy (new)

Addy | 5111 comments Well, maybe like 5. I'd read it if u want. I already started it and it seems interesting. I like the idea of vampires.

Hard sci-fi & horror if anyone want..."


I LOVED Blindsight and I had no idea there was a sequel out now. Peter Watts is a fantastic author, I read his whole Rifters Trilogy in total awe.

Adding Rifters to my list.

Robert Mingee (robertmingee) | 776 comments Looks like at least a few folks are interested in a buddy read of Kin - should I create a thread? I'm not sure what the protocol is (or if there is one :-).


message 1008: by Ctgt (new)

Ctgt | 765 comments Schedule is very tight right now but I may try to squeeze Blindsight in between. We'll see how things shake out.


message 1009: by Robert (new)

Robert Mingee (robertmingee) | 776 comments I went ahead and created a buddy read thread for Kin since there seemed to be some interest, so feel free to join if you're up for it - I've just started:

Addy | 5111 comments Would anyone be interested in reading The Handmaid's Tale in April? It ranked as one of the scariest reads of all time.


message 1011: by K4tie (new)

K4tie (nonzombieleader) | 484 comments I'm reading Handmaid's Tale now for a physical book club. I wouldn't mind discussing in April :)


message 1012: by Natasa (new)

Natasa (natasa79) | 353 comments Katie is Handmaid's Tale good? Is there any chance you could lend it to me? Btw, long time no see (type) - ;) Hope you've been doing well?


message 1013: by Natasa (new)

Natasa (natasa79) | 353 comments And Addy, hi as well, I totally didn't figure it was you...just by your name finally :) I can see I've been absent too long from this great community! Hope you're good too :)


message 1014: by K4tie (new)

K4tie (nonzombieleader) | 484 comments Handmaid's tale is good so far. Sure I can lend it. I'll pm you.


Icy-Cobwebs-In-Space  (readingreindeerproximacentauri) | 215 comments I'll join for Blindsight.


message 1016: by Addy (new)

Addy | 5111 comments Hi Natasa! I was wondering about you. Nice to see you again! You in for a buddy read in April then?

Good deal. The book is way smarter than me but everything I understand is awesome.

So I've decided to complete the following daunting task - reread (and in some cases read for the first time) all of Stephen King's work in chronological order. It will be one book a month for obviously many months. This will allow me to read plenty of other stuff, as well, and not get burned out. Now I'm not asking for anyone to do the whole challenge with me (although you are more than welcome), I'd like to break each book into a buddy read. So, with that being said, is anyone interested in reading Carrie as a buddy read?

I'd love to read Carrie with you for a buddy read. :-)

Andy (manicsloth) | 730 comments Ken, that is on my bucket list for sure. Enjoy!


message 1022: by Addy (new)

Addy | 5111 comments I actually have a Stephen King challenge im doing in another group so this is definitely down my alley. Im in for Carrie. Just gotta finish night shift:)


message 1023: by K4tie (new)

K4tie (nonzombieleader) | 484 comments I'm totally in for Carrie and the whole challenge. Sounds like an awesome idea. I would like to see how King's style compares with other reads in the month. I've only read Carrie, Misery, Bag of Bones, from a Buick 8, bullet, Needful Things, and the Shining 1 and 2. Can't believe Carrie almost didn't get published. I don't believe he's the only horror writer worth reading, but I haven't disliked anything I have read so far. I might if I read everything, but that's ok. I can still learn from that. :)

Cathie (cathiebp2) | 220 comments I would like to join in on The Handmaid's Tale!


message 1025: by Addy (new)

message 1026: by Cathie (new)

Cathie (cathiebp2) | 220 comments Thanks! I had this for next month!


message 1027: by K4tie (new)

K4tie (nonzombieleader) | 484 comments I'm in on Handmaid's tale too and I'll look for the thread :)

I just re-read Carrie a few months ago so I may just lurk for that one but I would definitely be interested in other books as you make your way through.

No problem. The more the merrier. I already set up a link for Carrie. Cant wait to jump into this challenge.

There are a few King books I'd like to re-read so as they pop up I'll join in. Should be fun.

I'd be up for joining you for some of Stephen King's books. I should've be getting the audiobook of It anytime now. I've been on the waiting list at the library forever!!! Any day now... Just let me know what book it is for the month. I haven't read many King books so chances are it will be a first read for me.


Icy-Cobwebs-In-Space  (readingreindeerproximacentauri) | 215 comments I'll chime in on Bag of Bones; Lisey's Story, DumaKey, Mr. Mercedes, and Revival.

Char | 17459 comments My friend Kimberly and I are planning to do a Buddy Read of Stephen Gregory's The Waking That Kills starting next week.
I know some of you guys have recently read Wakening the Crow and/or The Cormorant and/or Plague of Gulls, so I thought some of you might be interested?

Addy | 5111 comments Anyone want to start a JN Williamson novel. I've got a bunch I've slowly purchased. I've got Premonition, Offspring, Brotherkind, and Playmates.


message 1041: by Kenneth (new)

Kenneth McKinley | 1717 comments Mod
I'd be interested. I've got a ton of JN Williamson too. Are those 4 the only ones you have?


message 1042: by Addy (new)

Addy | 5111 comments Yeah, every time I visit this bookstore, I buy at least one JN novel. There are still a few left, but if no one buys them I'll prob end up purchasing them....lol. I kinda want to see if I like this author.


message 1043: by Kenneth (new)

Kenneth McKinley | 1717 comments Mod
I'd be interested in reading either Offspring or Playmates with you towards the end of the month


message 1044: by Addy (new)

Addy | 5111 comments Cool. I'm down for Offspring.


message 1045: by Addy (new)

Addy | 5111 comments Just bought Ghost House and Noon Spell from JN. Gonna start a thread soon for Offspring.
