Action/Adventure Aficionados discussion

I thought it might be cool to have some buddy reads. If there are books you want to read but also want to discuss with other members, and they aren't the group read for the month...

If you have a suggestion for a buddy read, feel free to list it here, and you can start a thread for it as well.

I plan to read

The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in September

and

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson in October
if someone wants to join me.

I might take you up on Treasure Island.

I want in on "The Lost World" too. (Got it on my kindle.) If there's room for more?

I love buddy reads and would be up for just about any. But when would they be? I have two books lined up to read next.

But I wanr to read both of those :)

Hugh, anyone is welcome!

Alice, I hope you can join me for Treasure Island. No pressure though.

Traci, September for The Lost World, and October for Treasure Island. I would say we just read at our speed throughout the month. I'll start threads for them.

Cool... I've got a reading buddy(s)! ... is this like a moving buddy on Toys (1)?

It's better!!!

I'm in...for the "The Lost World". If I have time I would also like to read "Treasure Island".

Cool!

I'm going to read Point of Impact Point Of Impact today or tomorrow (it's one of "my own books" I've been planning to read for a while and now I've decided to skip any more library books for a while. My own books are threatening to "get me as I sleep" if I don't stop ignoring them. It seems they intend to make an example out of me or Jason if we don't start reading our own books). Anyway, just thought I'd see if anyone wants to join in a buddy read.

I wish I had that book, Mike. I really liked the movie.

I picked it up for like $3.75 (shipping included in that, the book was $1.00) at Abe Books.

I plan on reading "Quest" by David Wood in late September.

Quest is the third book in the Dane Maddock series. These books can be read as stand alones, no need to start from book 1.

I hope to find at leaset one taker for this read :-)

Quest: A Dane Maddock Adventure

Here's the Amazon link:

If I am able to get a copy by September, I will try to join you, Kevin.

Great !

If you own a Kindle or Nook you can get the book for 3.99

On a budget right now, but hopefully it will stay cheap closer to September.

I'll join in, looks interesting.

You'll join the "Quest" read?

Yes, I'll join you in the "Quest" read.

Great, I'm looking forward to reading this.

Kevin, just wondering if you are still interested in reading "Quest" as a budding read? And anyone else who is interested in joining us.

WOW! How late am I to respond?!

Have you read the book Eileen?

I haven read it yet, I had many things on the back burner. I still want to get to this book.

LOL...only 4 months, Kevin.

No, I haven't read Quest yet. Like you I had other things to read first.

Let me know if...or...when, you want to do the buddy read.

I'll keep you posted.

I have 4 books going at the same time right now...geez

That's fine, keep me posted!

Don't know if anyone reads this thread anymore, but I'm currently reading Leviathan, the fourth book in the Event Group series. Really liking this series so far. Love it when you find something new you like and it turns out there's already 11 book on the series.

I always forget about this thread...thanks Tyler for the reminder! I haven't tried the Event Group series yet, but it is on my neverending "to read" list. Glad you are enjoying it!

Hi All,

I'm proposing to run an author supported buddy read in April 2020 for my new A Subtle Agency Omnibus collection of my first three books.

I've set up at Horror Aficionados (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... ) and Castle Dracula.

If there is local interest, we can open up a supported buddy read here as well.

Noting that the stories are - in essence - action, adventure thrillers set in a near future setting with science-fiction, fantasy and horror tropes.

Plus the book will be FREE on kindle from the 1st to the 5th April inclusive.

What say you?
