Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5186 comments Looks like we're going to have to become sibling groups. Buddy reads with people not on our own teams gets us more points *hint hint*

Plus, you know you love me.

How could we not??

BTW, I am mesmerized by the Sherlock gif. I just can't stop watching it.


message 22: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (daughterofoak) | 3473 comments I can't wait for the challenge to start! I am saving all my longest books for after Nov. 8th.

My husband and I just moved to an apartment and now I get to reorganize my bookshelves. I've been making a list of the books I have that I want to buddy read. Yay for extra points!


message 23: by ✿~ٲԾ� (new)

✿~ٲԾ✿ (dmh1) | 5500 comments I can't wait for it to start too.

I never done any buddy reads before.

I am rereading the LoTR, with Tea for this challenge.

That's awesome, Danielle! I have a confession (since I'm a giant SciFi/Fantasy nerd)...I've never been able to make it through the LoTRs. I can't handle all the walking!

I'm pretty much mesmerized by Benedict Cumberbatch's beautiful alien cheekbones in all contexts.

message 26: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (daughterofoak) | 3473 comments I've signed up for four upcoming buddy reads and I'll be reading all of the BOMs for next month. Plus I might join the LOTR buddy read. I'm probably going to regret this later!

✿~ٲԾ✿ (dmh1) | 5500 comments What genres do you all like to read?


A bit about my self. I from the UK and I like to read romance in the forms of contemporary, paranormal, M/M, suspense, I also like urban fantasy, sci-fi and fantasy. Wheel a thon was my first team challenge and I loved it. I managed to read a whole lot during it. So can't wait for Nov 8 now.

I concur :) Our team wouldn't have done so great without Danielle. This is a team to watch out for.

Well, Danielle, I know you are still over-read from wheels. Maybe you should take a break for month or five? :P

Haha. No can help. Anyway we're about to be imenced into the hobbit world. I think I saw some others are joining us.


message 36: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (daughterofoak) | 3473 comments I read from just about any genre, but my favorites are epic fantasy, historical fiction, historical romance, and M/M romance. I think the only genres I don't read much of are history and bio/autobiography.

I have access to a lot of books so I should be able to do a lot of buddy reads.

I love paranormal/urban fantasy, too! Can't wait to see what everyone reads so that my TBR shelf can explode :X


message 38: by Laura (last edited Oct 22, 2014 01:40PM) (new)

Laura | 9707 comments I also will read anything from any genre. My favorites are mystery, historical fiction and YA. I am currently reading Personal (Jack Reacher, #19) by Lee Child Birds of Paradise by Diana Abu-Jaber and Sweep Volume 3 (Sweep, #7-9) by Cate Tiernan


message 39: by Marla (last edited Oct 22, 2014 02:06PM) (new)

 Marla | 1790 comments Hi team! *waves*

I am looking forward to it, but I started a new job, and with Christmas during this challenge, I hope I can read. I read more at different times of the year, so how many books I read a year is not really a good indicator...more like how many books did I read last Fall.

Currently, my favorite genres are suspense, mystery, YA, and paranormal romance. I seem to read quite a few dystopia, but I'm not really a fan...

At this moment, I am reading Astrid and Veronika by Linda Olsson for my real-life book club, Shadow of Night (All Souls Trilogy, #2) by Deborah Harkness on audio, Drums of Autumn (Outlander, #4) by Diana Gabaldon and I'll be starting something else later this evening.

message 41: by Margaret (new)

Margaret (everlastinggrace) Well, well, you all sound like a bunch of book fiends! I am so excited about this challenge and am looking forward to getting to know all of you. I plan on getting the gif bug so that this old bird can join the "gif partee" lol Amanda wrote down the instructions somewhere for me, I just need to get my little rear in gear and find it. Oh, btw, I read a combo of genres, contemporary, classics, bio/memoirs, YA, history, Christian non-fiction and fiction though sometimes the fiction irritates me with all the silly fluff, ugh! anyhoo, looks like we'll have fun ladies :)

Go Danielle, we like that in a team mate!

I am not "gif"ted, so I will just admire all your postings. I do not know where everyone finds all these cool gifs.

Hey, Marla!

I'm not far into Drums of Autumn and probably won't finish it before the 8th. I tend to read the Outlander series a few chapters at a time and break it up with shorter books because of the length. Give me a shout on the Witches of The Bayou thread if you're interested in a BR!


message 47: by Vi (new)

Vi | 1696 comments Ooh, I'm interested in Drums of Autumn (Outlander, #4) by Diana Gabaldon too - I've been putting it off forever.


message 48: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (daughterofoak) | 3473 comments At the moment I've been really busy moving, so I'm just listening to one audiobook: The Ghost Writer. It's pretty good so far. I like the gothic ghost story feel to it and the narrator does a great job.

Once the challenge starts I plan on reading like a banshee :). I already have a list of books to read and I've been joining a lot of the buddy reads.


message 49: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (daughterofoak) | 3473 comments I can't stop joining buddy reads! It's beginning to seem a little crazy, at this point.

LOL! And you are dragging me right along and I'm falling (happily) for it! What can I say? Have to support my youngest in her reading addiction.
