Anni's BR Tracker - The new, but already haunted Manor
Reserved!!!!Everyone seems to be making new trackers for 2020. I'm feeling left out ;-)

I only made one, because I had't reserved comments back in 2017 and so I couldn't track my old BRs...

That's why I reserve so many extras when I start a new thread. Never know when you'll need em. I like to future proof my threads lol

I just started repurposing old comments I'd made near the start, so now it looks like Ahdam and Zaara were just talking to themselves 😂😂

That's a great reading list, Anni!I may join in on the Robin Hobb BR. I finished The Farseer Trilogy a couple years ago and loved it!
I'll be starting The Tawny Man series soon. I'm pretty sure it's the next series but I could be wrong. I'll try to catch up in time for your Fitz and the Fool BR!

Oh that would be great :)
But you're actually missing one series, it's
1. Farseer Trilogy
2. Liveship Traders (3 books)
3. Tawny Man (3 books)
4. Rain Wild Chronicles (4 books)
5. The Fitz and the Fool Trilogy
https://www.goodreads.com/series/5409...
You'll visited another part of the world with Liveship Traders, I think it's also a little more fast paced than Farseer :) With Tawny Man you'll go back to the six duchies and the two storielines merge, at least a little. Rain Wild is again more of a continuation of Liveship Traders and Fitz & Fool is as the name says about Fitz and the Fool again :)
While they more or less are individual series, I think you get way more out of the books if you read them in order, cause they are all connected and there is a big ongoing plotline.
I'll add that reading both Liveship Traders and Rain Wild is necessary to understand some parts of Fitz and the Fool.

Its a definite risk 😉. The hoards can decend quickly around here so you gotta be fast on that post button!!
Ahhh thank you!! I thought I was missing something :)
Drat these timezones...I always lose the chance to play "reserve"...😜 congrats on acquiring new manorial property, Baroness!(view spoiler)

😜😂😂😂 hehe...sure we were OR couldn't you see who we were talking to? 👀👻👻👻
Looking at your February, Anni. Do you want to do towards the end of the month for Starsight? Maybe 24th? As its a leap year we'll have one extra day to finish it before March comes around! XD

XD"Towards the end of the month Navi and I'll read White Sand and as we discovered some time ago, you shouldn't read too many Sanderson books at once 😅
I hope by the 5th I'll have made good progress on TSoK (maybe I'll even start early :)) and TGoM will be a "one chapter every other day"-read.
But thanks for trying to adjust to my schedule :)
OK, so we'll do the 5th? I'll add it to my tracker properly. :)
Siobhan wrote: "OK, so we'll do the 5th? I'll add it to my tracker properly. :)"Yes, gladly :)
I also have Vengeful here and have to finish it till mid-February, would you like to read it soon?

Ooh yes I really would! Could probably start next weekend if you want? Or anytime later in the month. :)

Hooray! :) I'm at a wedding next weekend, so maybe sometime during the week afterwards?

Yes sure! How about Monday 13th? Should we ask for a thread or use the YA Book Club?
Just saw you're doing another try at GotM in February :)I might join, but I'm not sure yet. Who else is in for the read?

Sounds good :) If the YA-Thread is free we can totally use that one.

Cool, I think it's free yeah :)
I'll join for Vengeful... More compounded points for us, Anni...I knew there was a reason I waited ;) to do that BR.
I'm cool with anywhere but (just FYI) there's also a dedicated thread for Vicious from late last year that we can resurrect, has some spoilers already that could be handy as recap....

EDIT more memory jog for me and Siobhan: here is "our" old thread from when we read Bk 1 way back in 2018 so we can remember stuff/our reactioms:

Ah sounds good, we could just as well use the 2019 Vengeful Thread :)
Also I was part of the earlier BR with you, so it'll help me as well :)
My gosh was it really that long ago we read Vicious!? Ahh we did a schedule! Remember when we loved a scheduled buddy read, Anni? XD
Mod
Those were the days......... 2019 was 7 days ago... and don't you have scheduled BRs in the pipeline?
🤣

No I don't think so! Haha. I mean where we do a schedule within the buddy read! Like 5 chapters a day or something. XD

Well... I thought you were one of the signups for The Wandering Inn: Volume 1... altho I haven't paced out the chapters/pages per week yet... need to do that soon, altho there's time yet... the goal being to time it to finish around the release of The Wandering Inn: Volume 2 over the summer, and all...

Of course she is! Don't argue, Siobhan! 😂
Sir Anni wrote: "Siobhan wrote: "My gosh was it really that long ago we read Vicious!? Ahh we did a schedule! Remember when we loved a scheduled buddy read, Anni? XD"Actually I still do 😊"
I do too! Maybe Vengeful should have a schedule... :)
Mod
It's free if you make an epub of the web serial... it's $4 on Kindle... it's available on Whispersync on Audible (ebook+Audiobook discount)...

Oh yes!!! I can create one, how much time do we want to spend reading it?

I'm easy! :)
My edition is 575 pages, so that would normally take me 1-2 weeks to read I think. I'd be happy to try and read it quicker or slower, whatever fits best for you. :)
Siobhan wrote: "Sir Anni wrote: "Siobhan wrote: "Sir Anni wrote: "Siobhan wrote: "My gosh was it really that long ago we read Vicious!? Ahh we did a schedule! Remember when we loved a scheduled buddy read, Anni? X..."Posted a schedule on the 2019 BR Thread :)

I have time! Wednesday then! Yay! :D(I am definitely NOT stalking this thread and answering within 10 minutes of you posting...)
Sorry for holding both of you back for so long 🙈
