You're doing the whole thing starting at book 1? I wanted to make doubly sure, since I read them years ago and quit because they were very repetitive, but I've been pondering restarting them.

Still planning on it. I was thinking the second week if you didn't mind.

Yep.. I wanted to start over at 1. Like you I read them years ago but didn't get past 9 or 10, maybe. We could start (get others to join maybe) and if they still seem repetitive, then we'll know, eh?

Kay and Tiffany: I'm fine with Cromwell's Point of Origin first. Tiff, then for a second we can do Pretty Girls or The Silent Sister (I now have both of these at least for the next 3 weeks.) I'm not sure how or when we have to finalize, since it's my first "official" Buddy Read. Tiffany, do you want to handle? Since you posted first, I wanted to make sure you were ok with the picks and if you wanted to do the "official" post?

BTW, Kay, I frequently use OverDrive for audiobooks as wells as Hoopla and OneClickdigital (which is a favorite b/c it has Sleep Mode options as well as Speed options). Axis360 is another one but it's better for mobile devices and I mostly use at home. I don't know if you have to be affiliated with a library to use ALL of these.

I've also got book one. I've been hesitant about starting such a long series but a BR might give me incentive.

That works for me. I will stop by the library on Monday to get a couple. I can't afford to buy her books right now.

I'm perfectly cool with those. I'll go to the library to get Point of Origin and a couple more in the series. Where do I do the official post?

Awesome! I seriously love the In Death books. This month is going to be fun! Though between these and the Patricia Cromwell books I see myself having some interesting dreams in November LOL

Tiff: For now, I can only do the one Cromwell, b/c I too and planning to work through the In Death series from the beginning (I have only read the last 2 that came out this year, #'s 40 & 41; and have #1 ready). Plus I have a stack of books & audiobooks from library (2 are on your list too: Pretty Girls & The Silent Sister) to finish as well as some of my own that I bought or swapped on PBS.

Kay & Tiffanty: Now, I have to find were the posting is and are we starting on November 1? I still have to pick up Point of Origin up at the library b/c it's older and library doesn't have eBook or eAudio for it.
