Carleson Einstein's Dice and Schrödinger's Cat How Two Great Minds Battled Quantum Randomness to Create a Unified Theory of Physics by Paul Halpern Bog Child by Siobhan Dowd Extraordinary Means by Robyn Schneider Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler

Ideally I would like to reread:

The Mysterious Benedict Society (The Mysterious Benedict Society, #1) by Trenton Lee Stewart The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma (The Mysterious Benedict Society, #3) by Trenton Lee Stewart

My buddy reads are as follows:

April 1st: Moloka'i by Alan Brennert
April 5th-12th (ish): Red Queen (Red Queen, #1) by Victoria Aveyard Glass Sword (Red Queen, #2) by Victoria Aveyard

I'm sure I will plan more buddy reads and accumulate more books, but this is what I have so far.

@Katherine- Do you want to do a buddy read at some point for the Book Thief? Also, I got a message that a bunch of people are buddy reading the Red Queen and Glass Sword for the 5th through 12th. When I get the thread, I will post it here if you are interested.


message 36: by Katherine (new)

Katherine | 16 comments Im going to post something about buddy reads. I think it would be cool to buddy read Book Thief together but we should check if others are also interested.

Yes, I agree.


message 38: by Luci (last edited Mar 29, 2016 03:49AM) (new)

Luci Limón (lucilimon) | -3 comments I have my list almost sorted out, these are all the books that I picked for this challenge:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

and these are the ones that I'll probably be reading:
>> The Slow Regard of Silent Things (The Kingkiller Chronicle #2.5) by Patrick Rothfuss The Road by Cormac McCarthy Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys The Colour of Magic (Discworld, #1) by Terry Pratchett Los caminantes (Los caminantes, #1) by Carlos Sisí The Life List by Lori Nelson Spielman Cinder (Crónicas lunares, #1) by Marissa Meyer Landline by Rainbow Rowell Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami Assassin's Apprentice (Farseer Trilogy, #1) by Robin Hobb El hogar de Miss Peregrine para niños peculiares by Ransom Riggs Ready Player One by Ernest Cline The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins Momo by Michael Ende Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt <<

I still have to go through the buddy reads already planned (in case I'm interested in joining some of them) and see if anyone is interested in buddy reading any of my books, so I'll update if there is any change.

Can't wait to get started!!


message 40: by Madelyn (new)

Madelyn Rose | 447 comments Awesome! I am going to post some requests later on and I will post the ones I have planned.

Luci Limón (lucilimon) | -3 comments Updated my buddy reads, check if you're interested!

@Kirsty I think you wanted to read Ready player one? https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

@Kelly I made a BR for Between shades of grey https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
are you going to read Landline? If so, we can BR if you want to :)

Hi Lu! I signed up for Between Shades of Grey :) And I'm totally in for Landline too!

Great! I could do either on 10th or after the 20th, what would be best for you?

After the 20th, please. Any day after that works for me.

I'll set it up for the 26th then, if there's any problem let me know so we can rearrange :)

Yes I did, I will certainly join in on that. I'm also joining in on The Glass Sword buddy read around that time too. I'm so excited, I've been desperate to get to Ready Player One for so long.
I'm hoping to tweak my bookshelf later on either tonight or tomorrow, as I have a few other books dotted around that I want to add on there to give me more choice.
