It's a jam packed month in August. I'll see my fellow buddy readers in Tigana, Kings of Wyld and Behind the Throne!

So many books next month! I'm going to join in for Tigana and The Obelisk Gate.

I might be in for Tigana and potentially Kings of the Wyld =].

Welllll looks like I've triple booked myself, may need to pre-read some of my titles!

I'm doing Ghost Brigade, Stone Sky, and Knight's Shadow. I'm looking forward to them! :)

I'm in for 5 but one is audio.

So many good choices. I'm so terrible at sticking to group reads. Going to join in the Knight's Shadow read and try to join the Jemisin read.

Definitely in for Kings of the wyld and Knight's Shadow. Possibly the Obelisk Gate also.

I have read so many of these either here recently or in the recent past that I don't have much this month.
However, September is very heavy, maybe I'll sneak and start something early, LOL

Will be in for royal assassin, inquisition, knights shadow and obelisk gate if I like fifth season another great month for some epic reads

Hmm I might have to drop out from one or two as my schedule is pretty hectic. But I will join Ghost Brigades at least.

Oh and The Stone Sky obviously!

Got to wrap up Retribution Falls so I can join in on The Black Lung Captain.
I'm currently reading Kings of the Wyld so I'll definitely chime in there too.

I am in for four reads (all listed above though, Tigana, Royal Assassin, The Obelisk Gate and Kinght's Shadow).

The best part is that there is going to be traffic in all those reads and we will be able to share soooo much. I am gushing over the group today!

That is a packed month alright! Great to see so much activity in the group :)

I'll hop in for Pandora's Star, and then see where my mood takes me.

What a wonderful list =)

I'm joining Kings of the Wyld and Behind the Throne.

Sorry I have to clear out some books before I can decide and upload a new book, I will check back in and good reading to you all

Note Pandora's Star has been changed to later in August. Around the 22nd.

Hi mods, I can't join Tigana read this month but am open to join if there is another time slot around November or December. Where should I put the request and find out if I could find buddies?

Got it, thanks!

I'm open to a buddy read of tigana in November if you want silvana

Great! I will put the invite the designated thread.

I might join you guys. I wanted to start it this round but I got behind and now the thread is too long for me to catch up.

Age of Swords is going to happen either late this month or early next month pending when it comes due from the Library. A few generous souls have signed on being able to be flexible.

Glad you found some people willing to do that!

I freely admit to being too impatient for this book to be nice. I'm already reading it.

Thanks Scott!

Fun! I'm reading it now and loving it.

I am completely in for the read!

Sweet.

Starting tomorrow.

Tooooo bad! I will not have the book just yet. I will read it soon though because I am very hyped about this series!

I would wait but I'm still committed to both Swarm and Steel and The Obelisk Gate this month. My hold came up so much faster than I thought. It ended up being all of 6 days and I originally thought 20-40. A couple people bailed out right away and another read it in 5 days.

You should not wait! I was hoping to have the book available but I waited too long, so my bad!
It is also making my life a bit easier, to be honest, because I can choose to postpone the read to September! :D

Fair enough.

The last Colony by Scalzi starting Aug 25th.

Thanks Scott and Niki.
