Hi Suzer6440 xyz, I've done a few read-a-longs before. Tell us what kinds of books that you like to read. Are there any particular titles that you are interested in reading in the upcoming weeks or months?

Hi there! I'm back (hopefully)! Baby has taken up much of my time since last summer and I'm only now getting back to the swing of things (reading, cooking, life..). Once you guys are done with the series you are reading, I would love to do a read-a-long with the two of you!

Great! It is nice having you back :)

We can start with Across the Green Grass Fields (Wayward Children #6) by Seanan McGuire. It just came out. We can take a break from the series and read it in between. :)

You can also read the series with us. We have just read the first four books which are relatively short. If you like to join and read them with us, we will wait for you before starting the fifth book. :)

Awesome! I just requested the Across the Green Grass Fields e-book from my library and hopefully will have it soon. I'll let you know when I get it!

I do want to read the October Daye series, but I'm not sure how to access the books. I'm trying not to visit places if I don't have to and it looks like my library doesn't have the series in e-copies, just physical copies, so I'm not sure if I can join...

Your library doesn't do deliveries? Can't you borrow the ebooks from another library or access it via Libbi or overdrive?

Ah, you're so smart. I was just looking at my library on Libby, not other libraries. I was able to find the first book in the series (e-book version) and I placed holds on the next few! I'm almost done with a book I'm reading now (about 90% done), then I'll start with the first one :D

Hi all, I will be starting " The Desolations of Devil''s Acre", at the end of February. This is book 6 in The "Miss Peregrine's Children" series, by Ransom Riggs.

If anyone here wants to read-a-long with me, let me know. Thanks

I think this will be a great idea. I will search for a book and look for a reading buddy.

This is a wonderful suggestion, especially to those who love to rub minds together. It is a welcoming idea. Keep it up.
