August Buddy Read
Hello all!
I'm trying something new with the voting. Since all the buddy reads happen over on discord, I'm moving the polls over there too. I'll still announce it here every month so everyone gets the email notification but this months poll can be found here https://ptb.discordapp.com/channels/389505044887764992/727324085083963532/727520...

OKAY SO
Based on some voting we did MOTHS ago, it is now officially time for our buddy read of The Way of Kings. We'll be reading book one this month, then book two in July, book three in September, and book four in November. So one every other month. On the months we're reading a stormlight book, the polls will be for the second buddy read book, and I'm going to intentionally have only short books as options to balance out these Stormlight bricks. &nb...

wooooooooooooooooooooooo
So as you guys know, The Way of Kings won the poll, but then we got an announce date for book 4 and had a second poll about when we should start it. The winner of that was that one was that we push the buddy read back to a little closer to November. Several people suggested we spread it out a bit though so it's not one thousand page book a month. SO! The poll shows The Way of Kings as the winner, but we'll plan to read Way of K...

Hey guys! So I'm about ready to post the poll results for next month but I wanted to check in with you guys first. Brandon Sanderson announced his release date for Stormlight 4 today and it'll be in November 2020. So Way of Kings was one of the winners on the poll for Jan but I wanted to do one more poll and make sure now that we have this date what you guys wanna do. We can either continue on in Jan like planned, or we can push it back to July, that way we can plan to...

I've been up sense 3:30am (woo!) so let's announce what next month's buddy reads will be!!!
Foundryside is an adult fantasy and I'll have the schedule set so we can take the whole month with it if we want to and The Fellowship of the Ring is also going to start on the first of the month. I usually try not to have the buddy reads start on the same day but my goal is to leave the Lord of the Rings chat open so that we can buddy read all three plus the Simarillian if anyon...

OKAY SO!
Last month Foundryside tied in the poll, so we're reading that in December. As for the second read, I always dedicate December to rereads so my options are small because I plan to reread all of LotR so that'll take up most of my month. So if ya'll have already read all these two and want to suspend your Patreon for Dec I totally understand! But if you wanna reread with me please do! Here's the poll. 2019-11-09 19:28:55 +0000 UTC View Post
November Buddy Reads
So we had a three way tie between
Turn of the Key
Norse Mythology
and Foundryside
So Torn of the Key and Norse Mythology will be this month's buddy reads, and Foundryside will carry over into next month so we'll only be voting for one book next month. I'll have the group chats and schedule made up soon! If you're in the $40 tier, shoot me a message with which book you'd like me to annotate for you! <3
