FEW RULES:
- Try to start at the same dates, around May 7th - May 9th (May 7th is the Loose ID release date. May 8th is when it will possibly be available at ARe). Due to time zone differences, the starting date is rather flexible :)
- No need to rush, read it in your own pace
- However, updates, status, comments are encouraged on this thread
- Spoilers MUST BE put under spoiler tag

Does Loose release to ARe the same day, do you know?

Nope, ARe release date is usually a day after. That is why I put May 7th - May 9th as release date to cater the time differences.

Mandy, that was my question!!lolol

Great minds think alike. :)

Ok, thanks, I'll start a day late and a dollar short! LOL

Oh and if it is D/s or some of my no-goes you will have time to warn me. ;)

Exactly!! Hopefully, the official blurb will be available on May 7th, the release date.

I would be interested in joining, but the blurb sounds rather confusing for my little brain! Who is who and who is the love interest? And is it some kind of paranormal? Ghosts, anyone???

Okey-dokey, count me in :)

Yay. No promises on the ghost, but it doesn't sound like it to me. :)

I'm in! I saw "firefighter" in the blurb, and that's all it took. ;)

Plus, dude! It's ZA Maxfield...

*claps*

The blurb is unofficial, Anke, since it's Loose ID, they tend to "keep it a secret" until release date. I'm sure the official blurb will be clearer...

what Gigi said.

Anyone has a recommendation of a favorite read while I wait for Maxfield's release? I've been mostly opening and closing books since last wk.

I'm In thanks.

I was going to propose to you Adriana. But you're currently reading it *lol*. Hopefully this will not be opening/closing book for you. I love Lou's writing.

I do too. I haven't read one of Lou's books that I haven't liked -and the concept seems very interesting.

Great, Vio is in!

I'm in too! :) I've never read this author, if you can believe it! Looking forward to it...

Susan, you have NEVER tried ZAM?!? That is wrong. So wrong. But then again, I also never tried several of the "old-timers". So yeah, I can forgive you

Really!? So we are popping your ZAM cherry! ;)

I know, I know! I actually own a few books, but just haven't read them yet! This is my cherry popper! Woot!

It's a special moment Susan, so glad we can share it with you! :)

I'm in

Yay Candice. :))

If only I can change the thread name into "Buddy Read a.k.a. Susan's ZAM Cherry Popping Party"

Hi, I'm in too. Looks like this is gonna be fun :)

I'm going to join too!

Cool, this is gonna be fun. :)

Can I join in? :)

Really?? Damn... Well I hope this is good.

Of course Erika, the more the merrier. :)

Awesome, thanks.

yeieie, this week, this week!

I know!! Luckily I have cleared one MM book I'm currently reading. So I'm ready. Yes, this is because I have weird thing of trying to have different genre as my current read to avoid boredom *lol*

I had to catch up in work, so I had no chance to read.

I regularly switch to other genres, not because I get tired of mm, but because I wade through a lot of crap to find a gem, and have fought mm burn out a time or two.

What a fun group! This is gonna be a blast... :)

Susan wrote: "What a fun group! This is gonna be a blast... :)"

Yep and of the book is good too, then it will totally rock!
I am looking forward to finally meeting you in Manchester Susan. :))

Are you also staying at the MacDonald?

LOL! I just had the golden arches in mind:)

Anke wrote: "LOL! I just had the golden arches in mind:)"

Well, we might go there too, who knows?! :)

This is gonna be so fun! I've never done this before. :( lol

Come on, release, release, release!!! I neeeeeeeeeeeed a good book. Now!

I'm going to be waiting for ARe's release so I may be a day behind.

I'm doing the same, Susan.

Oooh, I'd love to join you! Not having much time to read for pleasure right now, but I'll have to see if I can swing it. :)

Yes, JESS!!! It would be awesome if you could!!!!! :) ...but not if your'e busy...you know...WRITING! :)

So are you joining, Jess? If you do, I'll put your name up there

Susan, hopefully it will be ready a day later ar ARe.

I really want to and I'll really try. I am busy writing, though mostly editing at this point. I've been editing like mad all day today, and much of yesterday. It depends how many suggestions for changes my wonderful betas make, and when they send it back to me.

Can I be marked as a maybe, please?

If it isn't up anywhere by midnight, I'm going to start Every Move He Makes. But I'm a pretty quick reader so I should be able to catch up.

*excited!*
