The Procrastinators Book Club discussion

Anyone can nominate as many books as you'd like and look for a buddy! Any book that gets two nominations or more will have a buddy thread created for discussion during May. Please decide your start date and reading pace/reading goals in this thread. Once that has been decided, the mods will create a Buddy Read Discussion thread for that title. Reading the Buddy Read Guidelines is strongly recommended. There is no promise that you will have a buddy read for your nomination(s).

Start on the 2nd? Do you want to read it over 4 days (12 chapters per day)?

Yours Truly is SO good. I love Abby Jiminez!

@Ela and @sophie I‘d like to join you for Yours Truly. Just got a copy of the first and second book and will be down reading it in May.

@Ela @Sarah-Vanessa

2nd: chapters 1-11
3rd: chapters 12-18
4th: chapters 19-29
5th: chapters 30-37
6th: chapters 38-end

Does this work? I had to spread it over an extra day because the pages in each chapter were pretty varied. Let me know if you want any changes making :)

That works for me, thanks for doing the schedule!

Watch Me by Tahereh Mafi, anyone?

Would anybody like to join me for one of these:
The Stolen Heir
The Love Hypothesis
The Full Moon Coffee Shop

The Stolen Heir +1

@juliane, hey I'll join ya for the full moon coffee shop! my libby hold expires on may 13th so anytime before that works for me :)

@juliane I‘m in for The Love Hypothesis and I‘ll see if I join you and Anushka on The Stolen Heir. I haven’t read the series before that one so I don’t know if it makes sense to read this spin off, but I will see.

@Sophie It‘s ok. I‘ll try to make it work. Thank you so much for making the schedule 🥰

@Anushka reg. The Stolen Heir how does starting around the 10th sound? Maybe splitting it over 8-10 days, would that work for you?

@Edith reg. The Full Moon Coffee Shop early May sounds good, how about starting directly on the first and maybe splitting it over five days?

@Sarah-Vanessa reg. The Love Hypothesis would starting some time on the 20th or later work for you, maybe with a time-frame of 8 to 10 days for reading?
Reg. The stolen heir, i have unfortunately no measure yet how close the two series are related to each other. But would the proposed timing for that read work for you as well?

@juliane the dates work for me. I only have one buddy read in the beginning of the month. so 20th or later works perfectly, as well as 8-10 days for the read.
Concerning Stolen Heir, it is recommended to read the Folk of Air series first. I will see what I manage beforehand. Probably won’t make it up until the 10th. But it’s ok, I‘ll catch up later and as quickly as I can.

@The Full Moon Coffee Shop @juliane 1-5th sounds great! the chapters look a little weird in my audiobook, so maybe we should go by page numbers? I can get my hands on a physical copy in the meantime

@Juliane yes. The 10th sounds good. Let's make it 10 days.

@Anushka reg. The Stolen Heir
The page distribution for the chapters is all over the place so the proposed schedule seems a bit unbalanced length-wise- How does this sound?
May 10: Prologue+Chapter 1
May 11: Chapter 2+3
May 12: Chapter 4+5
May 13: Chapter 6+7
May 14: Chapter 8+9
May 15: Chapter 10
May 16: Chapter 11+12
May 17: Chapter 13
May 18: Chapter 14+15
May 19: Chapter 16-18

@ Edith reg. The Full Moon Coffee Shop
Yes there seem to be chapters within the chapters so page count seems a good idea. If you have the possibility of a physical copy that would be great for the schedule. Otherwise I can try to make a schedule from my e-book but the page count seems a bit messy since it shows a ridiculously high page number for the book but jumps over page numbers in between, so not impossible for a schedule but all a bit messed-up.

@ Sarah-Vanesse reg The Love Hypothesis
What do you think of the following schedule, I tried to make it as even as possible, which should amount to somewhere between 35 to 50 pages a day:
May 20: Prolog, Chapter 1+2
May 21: Chapter 3-5
May 22: Chapter 6+7
May 23: Chapter 8-10
May 24: Chapter 11-13
May 25: Chapter 14+15
May 26: Chapter 16-18
May 27: Chapter 19-22+Epilogue
There is a bonus scene in my e-book that, if it is included in your copy as well, we could attach at the end, maybe as a 9th day including some catch-up time if needed.

@juliane Thank you for the schedule it works for me. And yes I have the bonus scene as well.

@Juliane #TheStolenHeir schedule looks good. We start on the 10th then.

@Juliane @The Full Moon Coffee Shop sounds good! I just requested the physical copy at my library, I'm confident I'll get it before May starts since it's just a transfer from a different library! I'll report back once I have my hands on it 🫡

@Juliane @The Full Moon Coffee Shop
My copy came in! here's the proposed schedule; it looks a little weird but let me know if you have any questions or would like modifications and I'll make it happen!

May 1st: Prologue + Chapter 1: sections 1-3 (pgs. 5-50)
May 2nd: Chapter 1: sections 4-6 + Chapter 2: section 1 (pgs. 51-96)
May 3rd: Chapter 2: sections 2-3 (pgs. 97-142)
May 4th: Chapter 3: part 1-part 2, section 1 (pgs. 143-194)
May 5th: Chapter 3: part 2, section 2 + epilogue (pgs. 195-228)

@Edith @The Full Moon Coffee Shop
Apologies for the late response, the schedule looks good with the proposed pages per day. Thank you for making it!
