A Closed and Common Orbit

I'm up for a buddy read of:
Cinder
A Natural History of Dragons
if you want
and @Brianna
I'm up for a buddy read of:
Loveless
Inheritance
and both of y'all, I'd be up for a buddy read of That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon

@Brianna @Chain-Gang All-Stars I see that you've got other books planned for May so would you want to read this in June instead?
@LiteraryCryptid I'm happy to BR those two books after 13th May if that's ok? Do you have preference?

@ Dia - Chain Gang - if we can plan for later in May or June that would definitely be ideal!
@ LiteraryCryptid - Inheritance is one I am hoping to get to in May - have you read the rest of the series? Loveless - if we can aim for later in May that would be ideal for me!

@Brianna - Inheritance - I've read the series multiple times, it's been one of my favorites for years.
- Loveless - Later in May works for me.
Both books are re-reads so I can work with any schedule.
@Dia - I can do after May 13th, and no preference for either. Both have been on my TBR for a few years now (lol).

Also, we could do a BR of all systems red and bride for the extra points if you want, both will be a reread for me hahha
I've also gone ahead and requested a BR thread for saved a demon.

Since I will probably be joining the Will of the Many BR that ends on the 11th, I was thinking of the following in regards to Loveless and Inheritance:
Loveless: 12th-16th - there are 5 parts so 1 part/day
Inheritance: 18th-31st - there are 79 chapters (if I counted correctly) so 5-6/day?
@Dia
re: Chain Gang - if you are okay with June then let's plan for 1st week of June?

@Dia - I think there are 59 (maybe 60 with a prologue) chapters across 3 parts total - how much time do you want to plan for?

@Dia - sounds good! I’ll make note of it and when the June thread opens I’ll drop it in there!

@Dia - My copy of Cinder shows 38 chapters, I'm thinking 7 days? 5 per day and the final day has 3 chapters? Maybe from 23- 29?
I'm planning All Systems Red for a one day read on the 6th, so it may be a bit difficult to buddy read it. . . I'm probably going to leave Bride until June - but I'd be down to buddy read then. (Just a lot of books scheduled for this month now)

what do you think about this schedule for History of Dragons? But it'll overlap with your inheritance BR.
17th: Ch 1-4
18th: Ch 5-8
18th: Ch 9 -12
20th:Ch 13-16
21st: 17-20
22nd: 21-24
and for pride (61 chapters) would 7 days be ok?
8th June: Part 1 Ch 1-9
9th: Ch 10 - 18
10th: Part 1 Ch 19-23, Part 2 Ch 1-4
11th: Part 2 Ch 5- 13
12th: Part 2 Ch 14-19, Part 3 Ch 1-3
13th: Part 3 Ch 4-12
14th: Ch 13-19

And for pride, sounds peachy. I can run with that schedule.

We can still make BR threads for books this month, not to worry. Will add your thread once I am off work 😊
