LOL. As a friend said to me *looks at Ami* our reading ménage ( as everyone should know by now how much I love ménage stories..sigh*) has turned into a reading orgy.
Yay!!! That sounds like sooo much fun! :)

Oooo me to?
Never done all buddy read, a reading orgy does sounds fun ;)

It does, doesn't it!? What does one wear to a reading orgy?

What does a 'buddy read' mean? I get that you all read the same book but then what?
I think you have to slip into something a bit comfy to do a reading orgy, no ?

Well Lena, there aren't any real set rules, we all *try* and read the book at about the same time and discuss it together here on the thread. Only rule is all spoilers must be under a spoiler tag.
Other than that we talk about the book and whatever else comes up. It's more of a fun way to enjoy it.
And really a reading orgy is like a must don't you think? no dress code or dressing at all required. ;)
If you would like to join that would be great or if you just want to lurk..whatever..:))

Book is now pre-ordered - might not be free on the 13th to give my view but then I will lurk and wear fussy slippers ;)

Fussy Slippers? Are they part of the dress-code?
I to am a reading-orgy-virgin!

*puts cute Panda slips ready*

Great that you are in and excellent news on the slippers. :)

Very true..now I'm going to have to redouble my efforts to find something reading orgy appropriate.

Yes Mandy - the pressure is on but I'm sure you will top us all and Meep - good choice, we are going to look fabulous (2 virgins in cute fussy slippers)

Wish I could join in but I'll be on the road and I'm not sure I'll have internet. I'll be checking in when I can, though.
*sets out fussy slippers*

Feel free to post or whatever if you get a chance. :)

Count me in please

I thought it might appeal. ;)

I want in! I am SERIOUSLY psyched for this one. I'll probably pull an all-nighter. Firefighters and Daisy? Fuck yeah!!!

Can I play with all y'all?

Great! Come on in. :)

Uh oh. All nighter? Guess I better clear the way completely for this ones. :D

Well..it is a reading orgy...I should hope it lasts all night. ;)

I would like to be included in the read, I have never participated and a group read before so unsure of the etiquette but book sounds fun

Hey Jo, sure, I'll add your name.
We will all *try* and start around the release day, but with time differences and things, it is pretty flexible.
We all sort of post where we are, what we think and such on the thread and discuss the book. The only fast rule is all spoilers MUST be put under a spoiler tag. :)

She is the Discount Queen! And what perfect timing on this one!!

As Ami so kindly reminded me ( since my memory is not always reliable) the book comes out tomorrow. :))

I don't have bunny or panda slippers, but I am ready for the orgy :-P

My feet will be naked. ;)

I am ready as well. :)

JustJen wrote: "I am ready as well. :)"

Yes, but are your feet?

My toes are twitching in readiness. :D

JustJen wrote: "My toes are twitching in readiness. :D"

Good. That means we are all set, and just waiting for Samhain to let it roll.

My slippers are in the washing machine and my toes are painted pretty in case of nudity!

Also my kindle is fully charged ;)

I always have my toe nails painted, it makes me happy. And I always walk around the house barefoot.

My toes are painted too, and it is much too hot to not have bare tootsies right now. :)

*Sung in the spirit of West Side Story* Tonight! Tonight. Won't be just any night. Tonight there will be no morning staaaaaarrrrr!!!

Lol Gigi. :)

This is so awesome! Where have you guys been all my life? My poor friend Kristy has had to endure my many hours of squealing & flailing over all Daisy's books. Buddy reading is the best! :)

Well you can now just sit back and watch us squee and flail :)

I'm driving myself crazy, checking the stupid website every hour for the damn download. I'm such a freak...

I've been stalking Daisy's twitter to see if she posts it's live, but so far only grilled asparagus. :)
