The Procrastinators Book Club discussion

Anyone can nominate as many books as you'd like and look for a buddy! Any book that gets two nominations or more will have a buddy thread created for discussion during September. Please decide your start date and reading pace/reading goals in this thread. Once that has been decided, the mods will create a Buddy Read Discussion thread for that title. Reading the Buddy Read Guidelines is strongly recommended. There is no promise that you will have a buddy read for your nomination(s).

@Anushka: I'd be down to read The Songbird & the Heart of Stone with you as long as it was towards the second half of the month? I was planning on reading the second one next month already and I know if I don't pick up the third pretty quick, I'll just forget everything! lol

Re: The Songbird and the Heart of Stone: Yay! That'd be great Brianna. I'm in no rush so I'll leave the dates to you.

Hi! I'll give it another try this month :)
So, just for context because I'm going to suggest a couple of books: Next month I want to participate in Book Roast's Magical Readathon (Orilium). I don't know if you've heard of it. And it has got a lot of prompts and I'm open to read any of them as a buddy read.

So, here we go (for a start):

@Giulia
I'm in for The Serpent and wings of night. Whatever schedule works for you.

@Juliane
I'm in for You're not supposed to die tonight

@mina
We could start on September 1st. I usually read more than one book at a time so I tend not to read too many pages at once but I'd be flexible. Maybe we could stretch it over two weeks or would that be too long for you?

@mina reg. You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight
How does 7 to 8 days sound? That should be about 30 to 35 pages per day, though I don't know yet if that works chapter-wise but I can check later today.
What dates would work for you? I'm unavailable the last 5 days of the month but otherwise I'm flexible.

Updated

@Anushka, I'm down to read Love Arranged, when were you thinking? I might need a little longer than normal as I'm due to have a busy September, if that's okay with you?

@Guilia
Yeah, that works. I usually read more things at once too so no worries. Let's start it on the 1st and put it on two weeks, although if it's interesting I could finish it much faster than that. We'll figure it as we go.

@Julia
Yeah, the number of days/pages is alright. As for the start.. whenever it works for you. I don't have reading plans, and I usually read more than one thing at the same time, so everything is alright with me.

@Sophie @LoveArranged
I'm fine with taking it slow and reading just 2-3 chapters a day if you like. No rush.

@mina reg. You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight

How does this schedule and starting date sound?

September 5: Chapter 1+2
September 6: Chapter 3+4
September 7: Chapter 5+6
September 8: Chapter 7-9
September 9: Chapter 10+11
September 10: Chapter 12-14
September 11: Chapter 15+Epilogue

The 3rd day is a bit longer than the others and the last day a bit shorter, but chapter-wise I figured this might be an idea, we would have roughly 30 pages the other five days.

Yep, that's great.

@ Mina about The Serpent and the Wings of Night:

Would you be ok with the following schedule?
Sep 1: Prologue-Chapter 3
Sep 2: Chapter 4-7
Sep 3: Chapter 8-13
Sep 4: Chapter 14-17
Sep 5: Chapter 18-21
Sep 6: Chapter 22-25
Sep 7: Chapter 26-28
Sep 8: Chapter 29-32
Sep 9: Chapter 33-35
Sep 10: Chapter 36-38
Sep 11: Chapter 39-42
Sep 12: Chapter 43-45
Sep 13: Chapter 46-51
Sep 14: Rest

If we see that it's a much quicker read, we could still change it :)

@Anushka @Love Arranged

1st: Start- chapter 1
2nd: chapters 2-4
3rd: chapters 5-8
4th: chapters 9-13
5th: chapters 14-17
6th: chapters 18-22
7th: chapters 23-27
8th: chapters 28-31
9th: chapters 32-38
10th: chapters 39-43
11th: chapters 44-47
12th: chapters 48-51
13th: chapters 52-end

That would be perfect @Sophie

re: The Songbird and the Heart of Stone: Sounds good! I'm re-reading the first one now to prep for the second. Once I finish the re-read I'll be able to gauge the time frame that would work best for me and will pop back in here with an idea?

Sure @Brianna that works! Enjoy your reread!

Updated

Anushka re: Songbird & the Heart of Stone: My hardcover of this is 418 pages and given how quickly I got through the first, I'd say 5 days is probably more than doable. Would the below (dates and breakdown) work for you?

18th: beginning - chapter 8
19th: chapter 9 - chapter 17
20th: chapter 18 - chapter 27
21st: chapter 28 - chapter 37
22nd: chapter 38 - end

Sure @Brianna @Songbird&TheHeartOfStone . That works! Looking forward to 18th.
