Buddy Read Suggestions
I figured since so many of us will be reading it and we're doing the Herbert tribute for May. Now to finish what I'm currently reading so I don't have to abandon it come April 30th.
I created the buddy read thread for Hill's new book. It comes out tomorrow and I will be on it like white on rice.

I preordered the h/c, but it is being shipped right now. Hoping to have it by the end of the week...

I preordered mine too, but don't know when it will ship :(The ebook is almost $14 so I ordered the hardcover for $17...now I don't know if I can wait. I also don't know if I can pay fourteen-frickin-dollars for an ebook. I don't think so...

Same here, Bill. For the extra couple of dollars, I wanted to "see" it on my shelf. They just shipped mine last night because I had placed another order..

We have Amazon Prime and love it, Nikki. I had an e-book for Ketchum's I'm Not Sam but went ahead and bought a hardback copy for a good price on Amazon for my collection since his books become so hard to find later on.
I bought the ebook since I also bought the limited edition Subterranean Pres copy which won't ship until later.
You just have to read the book and join the discussion in the thread, like a group read but smaller. Also let us know in this thread what buddy read yiu want to join. I'm not sure what the minimum number of people reading the same book is to have a thread set up.
Carolyn, you can either come here and ask if anyone wants to read along with you, or you can decide to join someone else's read. When it's decided that a buddy read will happen, anyone can create a thread for it in the Buddy Reads folder. Sometimes the entire book is read and then people discuss it afterward, and sometimes so many chapters are read in a certain number of days and it's discussed. A good buddy read would probably need at least three or more people to join to make it worthwhile.
Ok thanks Tressa - now I know what's going on - I will def get involved in it - sounds like a great way to share & get others opinions - cheers ! Thanks mate :)

I'm planning to read Interview with the Vampire, The Witching Hour, The Great and Secret Show, or The Talisman soon. If anyone else is planning to read any of these books I'll join you.
I'm also open to reading anything by Stephen King. I haven't read most of his stuff in years and would love to read them again.

I also have Swan Song and Boy's Life I want to read. But I haven't read anything by Robert R. McCammon and am open to reading anything by him.
I would love to read Swan Song with people. It's really long, so I think doing it as a Buddy Read would keep me motivated!
I'm good with that. I'd be ready to go anytime after this week. :)

Traci;
Although I have already read 'The Witching Hour' and 'The Talisman' I am willing to re-read with a buddy and discuss; just keep me posted.
Holly - they'll be rereads for me too, though it's been awhile. :)
Kate, that would be great! It sounds interesting and I've never read nething from Steve Gerlach. Have you?

It was me. I deleted it as I didn't see any replies.
@Addy, that's great, we can set it up a bit nearer the time. :)@Nikki, I thought it was you, are you in?
Addy wrote: "Kate, that would be great! It sounds interesting and I've never read nething from Steve Gerlach. Have you?"No, I haven't read anything by him. He's supposed to be a bit like Richard Laymon. I guess we'll find out soon. :)
Sweet! Thought it was u Nikki and as soon as I checked out the book and was gonna reply I couldn't find it. It never occurred to me that it was deleted...lol.
Addy wrote: "Sweet! Thought it was u Nikki and as soon as I checked out the book and was gonna reply I couldn't find it. It never occurred to me that it was deleted...lol."Next time I'll be sure to leave a rec up longer. It's a pretty long read, too :)
Yeah. I think like 600 pages. That's ok. I'm reading a pretty thick Stephen king book with someone and its working out fine. Of course we're doing like 15% at a time. Should be good though. I say we make a thread a little bit later, but whatever is fine with me.

I'd quite like to read the Great Secret Show before the graphic novel comes out.
