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 December. 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).

Hi All,

Savage Fae
Vicious Fae
The Gingerbread Bakery
The Night Circus
Never Ever After
A Man Called Ove
The Dream Hotel
The Rose Bargain

@Michelle I'll join for Mockingjay. Do you want to read the first week now December since we're buddy reading books 1 & 2 this month?

@Michelle - re: A Strange Hymn: I would like to read this in December! Preferably first half of the month if possible. My work's busiest time of year is the last couple weeks of the year so trying to plan ahead that I may be reading a bit less at that point.

Below are some of the books I'm hopping to pick up for this challenge that are not currently planned in November:

Mickey7
Poor Things
When the Moon Hatched
Quicksilver
The Girl with Stars in Her Eyes
The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year

@Sophie yes that's what I was thinking too!

@Brianna prefect! I am off work most of December since my son is off so I can follow whatever works best for you.

@Sophie
A Man Called Ove +1

hey y'all! these are my proposed books for december:

Mate
Kingdom of Shadows and Wings
The Art of Avoiding Your Soulmate

The Ballad of Never After
A Curse for True Love
Time's Convert

05: chapters 13-15

@Edith I'd love to join you for a buddy read of "Mate".
I would also like to nominate Legends & Lattes.

@Sarah Vanessa Credence+1

@Anushka

When would you want to start A Man Called Ove? And what kind of pace were you thinking?

Updated

@Sarah-Vanessa @How My Neighbor Stole Christmas Absolutely, I can't wait to BR this! When would it work best for you? I have nothing scheduled yet, so it's completely up to you :D

@Brianna I would love to join you for a BR of @The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year! I love Ally Carter!

@sophie mockingjay, that works for me!

@edith, when would you like to read cruel prince and fallen academy?

I would also like to nominate

Completely forgot, but I want to nominate Holiday Ever After as well.

Also a quick general question for everyone (that I forgot to ask last month...oops) if you're buddy reading a series, would you prefer each book to have a separate thread, or have all in one?

@sophie, mockingjay schedule works for me as well!

@michelle, @the cruel prince, fallen academy how about we start after mockingjay is over? around the 11th or 12th and we can read both books at the same time?

@guilia @mate yaaaay! does the second half of December work for you?

@sarah-vanessa, hey I'll still join for the once upon a broken heart!

@Sophie, I personally prefer them all in the same thread! I think it makes things easier on the mods and it's also easier to go back and refresh your memory on things that happened or look at things discussed in previous books!

@edith sounds good! I’ll come up with a time line for both books.

@Sophie All your schedules work for me. Thanks for creating them.
I personally prefer to have the books of one series in one thread. It’s less work for the admins.

@Anushka When would you like to read Credence?

@Aikaterine My schedule is already quite full. So it doesn’t really matter. We can do it at the beginning of December. Would that work for you?

@Sarah-Vanessa @How My Neighbor Stole Christmas yes, the beginning of December works perfectly for me!

How My Neighbor Stole Christmas
01: chapters 1-3
02: chapters 4-6
03: chapters 7-9
04: chapters 10-12

07: chapters 19-21
08: chapters 22-24
09: chapters 25-27
10: chapters 28-30
11: chapters 31-Epilogue

@Aikaterine Does that work? Or is it too stretched out?

@Sophie @AManCalledOve I'm fine for any time in December. It's not very full for me so anything works. Pacing, I was thinking 2-3 chapters a day?

@Sarah-Vanessa @Credence Any time works. 2-3 chapters a day?

Credence

@Sarah-Vanessa @How My Neighbor Stole Christmas No, that is perfect! Thank you so much for coming up with the schedule! Can’t wait
