The Procrastinators Book Club discussion

Anyone can nominate as many books as you'd like and look for a buddy! Any book that gets two nominations or more will have a buddy thread created for discussion during March. Please decide your start date and reading pace/reading goals in this thread. Once that has been decided, the mods will create a Buddy Read Discussion thread for that title. Reading the Buddy Read Guidelines is strongly recommended. There is no promise that you will have a buddy read for your nomination(s).

@Bopeep I've been meaning to read prayer for the crown-shy! I wouldn't mind rereading psalm too for a refresher!

Anushka wrote: "Sunrise on the Reaping (Hunger Games 0.5)?"

I have every intention of reading Sunrise on the Reaping in March as well but would you be willing for a buddy read to wait till the end of March? The estimated delivery date for my book has unfortunately recently been pushed back to March 27, which could mean anytime after publication probably 😅
However I would completely understand if that wait is too long.

@Juliane if you get it on March 27, let's read it from April 1st instead? I'll find something else for March.

@Sai @Prayer for the crown-shy

Yay, perfect! I loved psalm, so I was planning on rereading it too haha!
We can read Psalm from March 8 to 10 and Crown from 11 to 14? Or is it too fast? (I'm super hyped haha!)

I‘d like to read this books in March:
- Babel
- Accidentally Engaged
- The Beautiful Ones
- Just One Kiss

So in case anyone want to join, let me know.

@Kalena, I would like to read The Scorpion and the Night Blossom as well! The schedule doesn't matter to me. I can read it whenever.

I’m interested in Babel! :) I think I’ll need it to be a bit more spaced out though due to work.

Sword Catcher in anticipation for the release of The Ragpicker King!

Throne of Glass
A Court of Silver Flames

@Priya
We can do Babel and time it so as it works for you. It doesn’t matter too much for me how we schedule it. I just want to finish it by end of March as it’s a book for a challenge here.

I‘d be up to read Throne of Glass and A ​Court of Silver Flames but maybe in April? As I have some other challenge based reads planned for March, so as I can finish the challenges successfully *lol*

Maybe @Brianna would be in for A ​Court of Silver Flames in April, as we’ve been buddy reading together the whole season.

Anushka wrote: "@Juliane if you get it on March 27, let's read it from April 1st instead? I'll find something else for March."

Yes April 1st works for me, thanks for waiting. If it unexpectedly does arrive distinctly earlier I can still send a message here to see if we want to start anything before that date.

I am down to read A ​Court of Silver Flames in April! I may try to pick up A Court of Frost and Starlight in March.

@Sarah @Priya please count me in for Babel as well. I've been meaning to read it forever.

@Juliane yes, keep me posted about it.

Awesome! Since me and Brianna are pretty open on the time frame, what works for you? Do you wanna make the plan?

For me as long as its not the last week of march I can read it :)

@Anushka of course, happy to have you.

@Brianna A Court of Frost and Starlight It’s a novella right? Then you can count me in for that one.

I know it's considered to be #3.5 and looks to be under 300 pages so closer to a novella than the other books in the series. lol If we can do like mid-month that would be best for me?

@Brianna or in other words Sara J. Maas approach of a novella. I think I‘ll handle it. Mid month works for me.

@Priya @Anushka Does anyone of you have a physical copy to make the schedule? I only have the audio book.

updated

@Sarah-Vanessa re: A Court of Frost and Starlight

Definitely a Sarah J Maas take on a novella - lol
My paperback copy is 229 pages and 28 chapters. How many days would you like it split up between?

@Brianna How about 5 up to maximum 7 days?

The threads have been made. When you decide on the scedules, or if you have in mind the amount of days you'll be reading the book, post the schedule or the number of chapters for your book here.

*Both of the Becky Chambers books are in one thread.

Thank you Mina !
If anyone who voted for Psalm on the Group Read can join the BR whenever they want ^^

I have my kindle and I think it depends on how many days we want to spend on it. An online guide has it separated into this:

Book I: Chapters 1 - 2
Book I: Chapters 3 - 4
Book II: Chapters 5 - 8
Book II: Chapters 9 - 12
Book III: Chapters 13 - Interlude
Book III: Chapters 16 - 18
Book IV: Chapters 19 - 21
Book IV: Chapters 22 - 25
Book V: Interlude - Chapter 28
Book V: Chapter 29 - Epilogue

But I feel like some days have a lot more reading. Let me know if you want it changed! Also, which half of the month works for you guys?

@Priya The schedule works for me, thank you. All the weeks work for me,mabe except the one from 8th to 14th as I‘m doing another Buddy Read that week and I probably can’t handle 2.

I had started reading Les Miserables: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) By: Hugo, Victor February, 2015 by Victor Hugo in 2024. But due to some reasons, I stopped reading it after I reached 150 pages. It was more due to lack of time but now I am willing to embark on that journey again and it will be great if some people can read it, discuss it with me.

Since it's a vast book, I am not sure if it can be finished in less than 2 months at least but we can plan accordingly.

Sarah-Vanessa wrote: "@Brianna How about 5 up to maximum 7 days?"

re: A Court of Frost and Starlight

Here is a schedule based on 7 days and approximately 32 pages/day:

chapters 1 - 3
chapters 4 - 6
chapters 7 - 11
chapters 12 - 14
chapters 15 - 17
chapters 18 - 21
chapters 22 - 28

Should we start on the 15th so the 15th - 21st? Or would you like to coordinate it with the readathon dates which currently look like will be the 8th-14th?

@Brianna thank you for the schedule. We can doit during the readathlon week.

Sarah-Vanessa wrote: "@Brianna thank you for the schedule. We can doit during the readathlon week."
