OK, got . Friday it is - I'm in!

I think I'll pass on Clockwork Angel, but if you guys do a Gone buddy read, I'll try to get into that one. I'm slightly overwhelmed by review books, but I have some time with those still.

I got Clockwork Angel, I'm ready! :)

DeAnna, I am willing to start a Gone buddy read with you maybe next week sometime, if you want (after Clockwork Angel), since I still need to read that before we do Hunger.

Deanna we can do Gone next week if that's okay, let me know when works for you

Sounds good. Just let me know what day you guys want to do, and I'll try to make sure I finish up whatever I'm reading by then!

I went ahead and set up Clockwork Angel - just fyi.

Thanks Jen! :)

For Gone, can we possibly start Tuesday or Wednesday? :)

Sure we can do either! Which day works best for you?

Either of those should work good for me so whatever works best for everyone else! :)

Either should be fine for me as well!

Let's shoot for Wednesday then :)

THANK YOU, Jen! I got stuck working REALLY late again. (Still kind of working but took a break to check on everyone!)

Sounds like a nice little buddy read going for Gone! Should make our Hunger buddy read amazing!! Woot, WOOT!

Ahh, I have already read Gone and am now reading Hunger. I am loving these books.

I was just wondering if anyone is planning on setting up a buddy read thread for Gone starting Wednesday? :)

hey guys! what should i read The Maze Runner, Shatter Me, or The Selection?

The Maze Runner. But then I haven't read the others, :-)

We could read Shatter Me together soon maybe? I still have a couple books to read first, but then I'd be up for a buddy read!

I've read it before, but I'd be up for

If anyone wants to read Through the Ever Night, Prodigy, or Rebel Heart -- I'm up for a buddy read. Just let me know.

I'll read Prodigy with you, Jen! And Rebel Heart! I had been debating on Rebel Heart but it's more fun as a buddy read so I'm in! :-D

I still need Prodigy also. :)

Lol enjoy! Those are all decent reads. Rebel Heart wasn't my favorite sequel but worth reading and great for discussion. All I have to say is: get ready for some laughs when you meet the guy wearing the dress!

Prodigy was pretty good but still not quite as good as the first in my opinion. Through the Ever Night was awesome, way better than the first!

I would also be up for a buddy read of Shatter Me. Although I have 2 review books for blog tours I have to read first.

Nice, ok we can wait a little while :)

OK, I need to get off this "bleah" run I'm on. I need an amazing book! When are we doing Fragments? And is anyone up for Prodigy this weekend?

I want to read Prodigy but I'm not sure how long it will take me to finish Gone since it's a pretty long book. I think it's almost 600 pages.

I will also be up for Shatter Me whenever we do that one!

I can do Prodigy this weekend! ;-)

When you read then there is and then and then , then Fear and then Light . Gone is a very long adventure you will want to complete, I think. I am starting Plague. Oh, and they are all long books.

Yea, I doubt I will read them all back to back though. I seem to read one or two in a series, then wait a few weeks, read another one or two, etc. until it's done! :)

I'm thinking maybe one or two a month for this series is a good pace since they're so long. I don't want to get burned out on it.

If I wait too long between the series I read lots of books and forget what happened so that is not good for me, LOL. I just found Elle Casey's books and read and will read . I am now reading Apocalypsis

I thought Apocalypsis: Kahayatle was pretty good. I don't know that it was my favorite ever but it kept me entertained. I haven't read any of the others in the series yet though! I have the second one for whenever I get around to it. :)

Jen wrote: "OK, I need to get off this "bleah" run I'm on. I need an amazing book! When are we doing Fragments? And is anyone up for Prodigy this weekend?"

I'm reading and then I'd be up for Fragments :)

I'll go ahead and set up a buddy thread for Prodigy for this weekend. I think there are at least 3 of us interested in reading it! :)

Can we start it on Sunday by chance? I may need another couple days to finish Gone. I'm halfway through! :)

Sunday is perfect!! :)

Here's the thread - http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

I could be ready for Fragments next week sometime, or when everyone else is ready. No worries!

Sunday is perfect for me too - and I'll be up for Fragments right after that!

Is Sunday Prodigy Buddy Read? I'm so confused with all the different buddy reads! lol I may jump in with my thoughts a little!

Lol, yes, Sunday is prodigy. :)

So my copy of Fragments is dispatched on 3 April and I still haven't got it, it's 19 April now. I am waiting a few more days and then I am sending an e-mail to The Bookdepository. Really sometimes I hate the long shipping times from TBD, but still the low prices are worth it.

Ok no worries, we can start as soon as you get it, everyone has plenty to read in the meantime!

My copy of Fragments finally arrived! I was afraid it got lost in the post, so I am really happy it arrived! So when do you want to start the buddy read?

Yes!!!! Great timing, I just read the Isolation War novella today so I really want to get into Fragments! I'm ready anytime! Is everyone else ready now or should we wait a couple days and start Saturday?

Whenever you're all done with Fragments, I'm up for a buddy read of any of the following if anyone wants (I haven't had a chance to read Partials yet so I'm going to do some R&Rs while you guys do Fragments). :)

I'll be in Mexico with no access to internet, (I don't think). But will read while there (on the beach!!!) :) I just can't contribute to the discussion unless I find that internet is available. I also have the Isolation War novella to read.
