Welcome to the challenge Cin :)

ElvenRaven | 244 comments Thanks Lynn :)

Cathie (catitude) | 1511 comments Happy Reading Cin :-). You have a lot of good reads here :-)


message 5: by Laura (new)

Laura I love looking at everyone's challenges. It gives me great ideas for future reads. I really liked Variant and I am Number Four!!


message 6: by Anima (new)

Anima Miejska | 1698 comments Cin, your list looks really interesting, I may be inspired by some of your choices :)


message 7: by ElvenRaven (new)

ElvenRaven | 244 comments Thanks Cathie, Laura and Anima :) If you decide to read some of the books I'm reading, maybe we can set up a buddy read and read them together :) It'd be fun to discuss them with you!


message 8: by Cathie (new)

Cathie (catitude) | 1511 comments Well, I will definitely see you in the Quiet Discussion Cin :-)


message 9: by Anima (new)

Anima Miejska | 1698 comments Fuse sounds interesting, but I haven't read Pure, so I would need to catch up with this one, and I have Nocturnal on my TBR list, plus it counts to GDAC challenge, so I would gladly do a buddy read on the two books, but maybe somewhere closer to September, as during July and August I have already sever or eight books scheduled :)


message 10: by Cathie (new)

Cathie (catitude) | 1511 comments Where do you see Pure Anima? Did you change your list Cin? I have had Pure on my TBR since last Aug. I think; I would do a buddy read with you for Pure, but it would have to be in August.


message 11: by Anima (new)

Anima Miejska | 1698 comments Pure is the first part of the series in which Fuse (present on Cin's list) is the second book, so to do a buddy read on Fuse, I have to read Pure first :)


message 12: by Cathie (new)

Cathie (catitude) | 1511 comments Ahh, I understand now; well like I said I have had Pure on my TBR list since the beginning of time, lol (here on Goodreads). I'd do a buddy read of Pure with you Anima in August :-)


message 13: by Anima (new)

Anima Miejska | 1698 comments I counted once again my books scheduled for August, and I find it possible to squeeze Pure there :D, that's great Cathie :)


message 14: by ElvenRaven (new)

ElvenRaven | 244 comments Pure is a great book! I loved it, and I want to reread it before I read Fuse, because I've read in some reviews that it picks up right where Pure ended and I want to refresh my memory. If you want to do a buddy read I'll join you, I'd love to discuss the book with you :) and maybe if you like Pure we can read Fuse together later :)

Cathie (catitude) | 1511 comments Excellent! I'll go set up a thread under Buddy Reads :-)

message 16: by ElvenRaven (new)

ElvenRaven | 244 comments I'm at the halfway mark! With both books and time, lol.
Hopefully during January I'll be able to read some more from this list :)


message 17: by Anima (new)

Anima Miejska | 1698 comments Keep my fingers crossed for January success with reading more! :)

ElvenRaven | 244 comments I've changed a few books on the A-Z list... cheating? who, me? LOL

ElvenRaven | 244 comments So I never did finish my A-Z challenge... that pesky thing called reality, getting between me and my books.
Well, I'll try to finish it as soon as I can, regardless of the deadline.
