I'm running late, but I am ready to start tomorrow. You?

Is anyone interested in a br of The Crusader's Kiss by Claire Delacroix?

This is one of my books for the series challenge. I listened to audio for Bks 1-2 late last year. I didn’t write reviews for them, but they were quite good.

These books are in KU.

This is book 3 of the Medieval series “Champions of Saint Euphemia.”

Joanna?

Yep, I am in! When were you thinking?

This weekend? Today?

I’m home from work today, though I work on Saturday and Sunday

Andrea,

Whenever works for you, I should be be able to make it work. I'm pretty busy this weekend but can get started. As far as getting through my current reads go, next weekend may be better, but they're also not grabbing me so I'm good either way.

I’ll begin this evening.

Right now I’ve started Whitney, My Love, which is also a series challenge book.

I’ll read that while there is daylight (hard-copy) and switch to our br title (kindle) as the natural light wanes.

Anyone interested in doing a buddy read in March for the latest Meredith Duran?

I don’t know if anyone here is a KU member. The only person whom I am sure of is Kathy Golden.

Anywho, there is an xn hr book in KU called The Pattern Artist by Nancy Moser that I’d like to read.

Is Kathy in any of your flists? I think she reads xn hr.

Is anyone else interested in this book?

I am not a KU member. However, the book looks interesting; and my library has it. I would be interested in reading with you if you wait a few days to start.

Great Mariana!

I just sent a pm to Kathy Golden.

I’m not ready just yet though.

I’m so envious of your library! You are a luck woman!

Yes, I am. Can't argue that. They have 90% of the books that I want to read.

What Happens in London was mentioned in the books that make you laugh thread.

Does anyone want to BR the series in September?

Karishma wrote: "What Happens in London was mentioned in the books that make you laugh thread. Does anyone want to BR the series in September?"

Hi, Karishma. I didn't enjoy that book, so I won't be joining the BR, but I hope others will join you.

Okay!
I hope so too.

I'm open to other suggestions also for books I haven't read yet.

I'm looking forward to a HR buddy read.

If you create your list of series for the series challenge (on that discussion thread and not here), we (other members and I) can compare and plan future BRs with you. ^_^

That's a great idea. Will do that tomorrow.

Karishma,

Missy, Mariana and I just started The Stolen Mackenzie Bride at https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/.... Despite it being #8, you can easily start here in the series because it predates the earlier books by about 150 years.

Loriidae and I will be starting Devil Takes a Bride on the 17th at https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/.... It is number 5 in the series.

You're welcome to join either (as well anyone else)

I really enjoy What Happens in London and will see if I can squeeze it in. I do not like the first in series The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever -- it is my least favorite JQ book by a wide margin. I think I liked the third book ok.

Lol. Joanna, I'm the opposite with that series by JQ. I enjoyed The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever (probably because there's a unrequited love with an childhood friend/acquaintance trope) but I didn't like What Happens in London because I was too nitpicky about a few things.

Hahaha...we can be polar opposites in preferences, but that's what makes it fun to discuss.

I loved the whole series. I might be up for a re-read. But not sure I'll have time till after fall. I really need to catch up on my series challenges.

I have also read the entire trilogy and might be up for a reread in the fall.

Well I'm in no hurry.I can read it anytime except October 10th to November 20th.

Those are very specific dates. :)

Exam dates actually. I have exams from 1st Nov to 18th and then 2 days of rest.

Plus I don't want to schedule anything 20 days before my exams.

Wow! Long exam dates.
