That sounds awesome, Ash. Are you still jumping?

I'll be reading Undivided with you all. It's one of my favorite series. I can't wait to find out what happens.

Steven wrote: "YES! PENDERGAST IS ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVES!!!"

Every time you say that the series gets pushed a little higher on my tbr :).

I see Undivided is the 4th book. Is this series worth a read?

✼Danielle✼ wrote: "I see Undivided is the 4th book. Is this series worth a read?"

Yes, it's a great series, IMO. It's a very unique YA dystopia.
I think there is a buddy read of the first book starting in December. Even my mom is going to give it a try :).

Hmmm, Amanda, how many times do I have to say it before it hits the top?

I can copy paste it :)

Now that is a seller "even my mom is going to give it a try" lol. I can't wait, I'll see what you all are raving about.

I know, right? LOL
;)
It's the new advertising scheme, didn't you know? "The Hunger Games: Even my mom liked it!"
Oh man...sorry. Too little sleep, too much sugar.

Hmmm...copy and paste would work. ;)
I'll see if I can find a copy at my library. I have so many buddy reads lined up but I'll try to find room for it soon.

They're so good. The farther along you go, the more you'll like them, I think.

You have signed up for waaaaaay too many buddy reads :P But think of all the points! hehehe. Speaking of... slow down on those. Give us a chance!

I'm regretting my buddy read addiction already. O.o
It's a little overwhelming. lol

If only people would stop posting requests...
;)

That's why now it's only a maybe I'll join.

I just finished for a buddy read. I was disappointed with it

That's too bad Danielle. What didn't you like about it?
I almost picked this one up from the library on Saturday.

where is that spreadsheet, I need to take a peek at your crazy BR list. I have to probably reconcile all my new joins and let you know. btw, I am keeping track of my own BRs, I probably don't need reminders, if that helps with all this TT craziness/busyness :)

It's still my mission in life to find a fantasy book that you love.

Not enough page time of the romance of Tate and Miles, didn't like how it played out. There were two POV, Tate's in present and Miles' from six years ago. I was more interested in Miles' POV.

Yes, onto better books

It's on the Team Spreadsheet. There is a tab at the bottom that says "Planned buddy reads/BOMs". I actually need to update it because I've joined a few more buddy reads, especially in January, and I'm sure everyone else has too.
Let me know if you have more buddy reads to add to the spreadsheet.

Hmm...I'll probably skip this one, then. I have a feeling that would irritate me.

yes, something that is an equivalent of C & P but from the Fantasy angle, that would do it :) yep

What was the book, Amanda that you thought should have made it to the final round?

I voted for Leaving Time and its still in the final round. Jodi Picoult sure does write about moral decisions and life that definitely make you think ....what would you do?

I really liked Omens by Kelley Armstrong and voted for the second book Visions but it didn't make the cut!
I read a lot of last year's nominations. I guess I will have a lot of reading to do for 2015.

What is C&P?

Steven wrote: "What is C&P?"

oops sorry Steven, it is the abbreviation for Amanda and I have been reading it for a buddy read.

I did know you were reading that, but my brain didn't put two and two together. Or it did and didn't get four. HAHA

hehe....I am just trying to keep you sharp, I know I need that :)

Laura wrote: "What was the book, Amanda that you thought should have made it to the final round?"

I was hoping that Prince of Fools would win, or at the very least make it to the final round. It definitely deserved it.
I haven't read any of the other books yet. I'm always a year behind on this :).

I finished today. I quite liked it, pretty easy reading.

✼Danielle✼ wrote: "I finished today. I quite liked it, pretty easy reading."

I agree. Easy, fun read. :)

Ack! Very behind on responding!

@Amanda: Yep, still jumping! I need to take pictures sometime to share...I just never remember to deputize anyone, and it's hard to take a selfie on horseback while midair :)

Yay for joining in on Undivided! I can't wait to get started on it...just need to finish Reliquary first or Steven will hunt me down!

@Danielle: The Unwind Dystology is one of my FAVORITE YA series. It's pretty dark, but it's brilliant.

✼Danielle✼ wrote: "I finished today. I quite liked it, pretty easy reading."

Me too! Join us for the next Galloway mystery Danielle?

Gotcha, another I added to my growing tbr!!

Danielle
did you like Poison Study?? I read the series a few years back and really enjoyed it.

When is it planned for?

Laura wrote: "Danielle

It was a reread for me. I enjoyed it just as much I was glad for the buddy read of this series, as there is a new one out in February and it's been years since I read last read them, I wanted a refresher.

Yes, I will. >:) hahahahahaha

✼Danielle✼ wrote: "When is it planned for? "

24 November --> thread ☺

Danielle, it's planned for the 24th, I believe, and as a buddy read not as a BOM with discussion questions.

November 24! Its a buddy read. Join in when you can:) I don't have my copy yet, so I may not be ready:( hoping it comes in soon!!!

ohh, I didn't know about the new book coming out!! Can't wait to read it!! Do you know what it is called?

Amanda and Margaret what did you think of the Walking Dead episode the other night?

Thanks Tea, Steven and Laura.

✼Danielle✼ wrote: "Thanks Tea, Steven and Laura."

☺
So did you find out when it starts? :P

Laura wrote: "Amanda and Margaret what did you think of the Walking Dead episode the other night?"

OH! Ok...so I finally just watched it last night. It was so good!
(view spoiler)[
I couldn't believe that Noah thought it was a good idea to rob Darryl and Carol. The entire time I wanted to yell at Darryl to ask him some questions! They meet one person in a city where they need information on these people and he doesn't ask questions!?

I'm so looking forward to seeing Rick teaching Dawn and her people a lesson. They do not know who they're messing with! (hide spoiler)]

Laura wrote: "ohh, I didn't know about the new book coming out!! Can't wait to read it!! Do you know what it is called?."

It's called Shadow Study . I'm looking forward to it.
