I read TSID last year but may be up for a second read already. It had a profound impact on me. . Afraid was a fun read too so I don't think you will be disappointed with whichever choose
This is going to be really silly question...the covers that are posted for the buddy read is so tiny on my computer that I can't read the titles as well as the authors, so I am kinda in the dark as to what we are discussing...LOL
It looks like theres more interest for Afraid.Going by the posts the reading group would be:
Kate
Addy
Debbie
Kevin
If anyone else wants to join in the more the merrier.
How about next Monday for the start date?

I notice many of us have

ok..this is going to sound silly but I keep seeing buddy reads what is it exactly..do you guys email after and talk of the book?
Teresa, on page 1 there is an explanation of Buddy Reads: I thought we'd give Buddy Reads a try at HA. Buddy Reads is when you want to read/discuss a book with a few people as you're reading it. Kind of like a Group Read only a book doesn't have to be voted on. So if you're bummed that your book didn't make the Group Read cut, just see if a few other people want to read it along with you in the Buddy Read section.
This thread is for all of our members who are interested in reading with a buddy/buddies.
1) Post the title link/image of the book you would like to read.
2) Post the dates you intend to read the book.
3) If you're interested in joining a nominated book, post your name along with the link/image of the book.
4) Create a thread with the title of the book and list the names of the participants.
5) Decide as a group if you want to read a certain number of chapters a night; if you want to include spoilers, etc.
I'd be interested in doing some buddy reads this year for some of the books I haven't read on HA's Best Horror Books list so they can count toward my 2013 and Best Horror Books challenge. I'll check soon and post some of the titles; maybe some others need to read those, too.
ah..thank you!! I keep seeing buddy reads and really had no idea and i tend to read the books I see posted anyway..I just didn't do any follow up
Yeah Traci, you can join us for Island but I'm not sure when we will start. Keep checking back. Maybe mid March?

I have it but haven't read it yet, I could join."
Fantastic Tracy, I'll post with a date once it's confirmed.
I'm in for both Laymon's Island and the Exorcist. I got both of them on sale for my kindle, but I haven't started them yet.
I got them both on sale too. Yea for cheap books!!
I'll probably read The Exorcist in April. But really I can move the read up or down, I'm flexible.

Well since Traci said April, we could just do April? That's fine by me, unless anyone else has any other preferences?

It's funny to see that you have picked this book, because I was starting at it the whole time I was working out today. It's been sitting on my horror shelf for so long. lol So I would totally be up for finally reading it. But, I'm sorry, what is 8/3??

I read Woman in Black just a few days ago - I would've waited if I had known. But I'll join in on the discussion.

Kevin, I'm not fussed they've both had fantastic reviews on goodreads. I'm leaning slightly more to TSID.
