Narilka | 6558 comments Just wrapped up my March buddy reads. Both books were great!

Two buddy reads a month I think is about right for me. It was great to read with a group and I didn't feel pressured like I was taking on too much. It also let me fit in non-buddy reads. Perfect world :)


message 5: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments That's April done! I'm so glad I joined for the Hidden Legacy group read. I'm really looking forward to then next two books.


message 6: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments Looks like I'll be binging Ilona Andrews over the next 4 months LOL


message 7: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments May is done! Great month of buddy reads :) I love this group.


message 8: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments Updated my lists for the next few months.

June was pretty darn good. I'm still working on Winter though. Pretty sure it's going to carry into July a few days.


message 9: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments Finished off July and caught up my June carryover. Whew! I'm ready for August.


message 10: by Bridget (new)

Bridget | 4273 comments All the best for Aug, Narilka. Really enjoying your comments and company over on the North and South thread.


message 11: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments Thanks Zaara! I am buddy read light this month but they should be fun :) Also wishing you a great month of reading in August.


message 12: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments August's books were both great! Thanks FBR :)

I think I my Sept plans may be too aggressive. I'm debating dropping the Demon Cycle. It doesn't see to have much interest any more from the group.


message 13: by Narilka (last edited Aug 28, 2018 04:58PM) (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments I'm insane. I'm going to try and keep that whole Sept list! There's no way I can make that schedule though. My likely reading order will be:

Bloody Rose - Nicholas Eams
Thief of Time - Terry Pratchett
Dreams of Gods & Monsters - Laini Taylor
Shadow and Bone - Leigh Bardugo
Clean Sweep - Ilona Andrews
The Skull Throne - Peter Brett


message 14: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments It appears that my read of The Skull Throne is going to carry over into October. No way can I finish it today :) I'm pretty proud of myself for sticking to my plan.


message 15: by Karishma (new)

Karishma (karishmanewar) | 1620 comments Great job Nariika - looks like you had a great month!


message 16: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments I have never been a disciplined reader. This group is helping :)


message 17: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments October is done! And I even have a few days left to fit in a Halloween read :)


message 18: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments I did it again :D Choose too many BRs too close together for November. This month's likely reading order:

Ruin and Rising Leigh Bardugo
Diamond Fire Ilona Andrews
Minimum Wage Magic Rachel Aaron
Knight's Shadow Sebastian de Castell
One Fell Sweep Ilona Andrews


message 19: by Anni (new)

Anni | 5066 comments Haha, that's how it's done! :D


message 20: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments Ignoring start dates is the way to go :D


message 21: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments November is done! I have a week to relax :D


message 22: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments Look at that. 2019 is starting to fill up nicely!


message 23: by Anni (new)

Anni | 5066 comments Nice List :)


message 24: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments And that's it for 2018! It's nice to end on a great Buddy Read.


message 25: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments I think I've overloaded February. Good thing I'm leaving March open. Looks like I'll be playing catch up!


message 26: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments Cleaned up my list. I was such a failboat in Feb and March. Maybe I'll still get to those books eventually and check out their threads then.


message 27: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments Cleaned up my lists. I'm ready for 2020. Bring on the Buddy Reads!


message 28: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments Q1 of 2020 down and I've participated in 13 buddy reads. I'm pretty happy with that :)


message 29: by Graeme (new)

Graeme Rodaughan | 10 comments My goodness, you're a reading machine!


message 30: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments I'm trying!

Got any series planned that you're definitely gonna read next year? I'll go check your series tracker....


message 34: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments I believe I signed up for the Cradle series read. I need to go check the "upcoming reads" folder to see what else is in there.

With Wax & Wayne 4 having a release date next year, I want to read books 1-3. I'm up for a BR.


message 35: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments @Zaara - Yep, I signed up for Cradle. Just dumped the dates in the top of my tracker. I'll go fix the links and make it pretty in a little bit. Work insists I should work LOL


message 36: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments It's the second day of 2022 and I have a BR planned for 11 of 12 months. I'm impressed! Anyone want to plan something for December? :D

Bridget | 4273 comments I saw on another thread somewhere, about youz rough start to the year. Kidney stone, huh? That’s gotta suck, Boo! Some pretty book covers and pics for you….xo

message 38: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 6558 comments Aww, thanks Zaara. Those are pretty :)


message 39: by Bridget (last edited Jan 21, 2022 04:21AM) (new)

Bridget | 4273 comments Can’t have been that pretty if half of them didn’t even load. Ah well, I am perhaps a bit too obsessed with chipped blue pottery jugs…
