General Buddy Reads Requests

[Kirsten]

How about January 2nd?

[Lynn, Moderator]

ally and I are doing Paper Girls on Jan 2nd, so maybe start a day later? (I doubt Paper Girls will take longer than a day?)

That way I might join in too ........

[Janina]

I'd love to join in as well. I'm traveling until Jan 5th, but I'm sure I can catch up if you start earlier.

[ally ¯\(ツ)/¯]

I can wait til either the 3rd or the 5th.

I doubt paper girls will take more than a day either.

[Kirsten]

The 5th sounds good! I will have the book for 3 weeks, so that should work.

Read that story last year and loved it so much...Enjoy!

[Vicki Willis]

Yes, request it and see about when it should come and we can pick a date then. That will give some other people a chance to get it if they want to.

Glad to hear that, Kim!

We will follow that one with Glory over Everything: Beyond The Kitchen House at some point.

[Vicki Willis]

I would be up to read The Widow .
What are you thinking for a start date?

[Katie]

I'll be reading these books over the next few weeks, hoping someone would like to join me!

[Katie]

"We will follow that one with "


I'll be looking for this one! The first book was amazing, excited for the second!

[Kristie, Moderator]

Katie - We recently read a couple of those as our group reads. If you post in the discussion threads, there may still be people following them that will chat with you about them.

was read in March and discussion is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

was read just last month in May and discussion is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I recently started and had to put it aside for another challenge. I'm not sure when I'll be getting back to it, but hopefully soon. I'll post here before I do to see if you've started yet.

[Katie]

Starting Here and Gone tonight, hoping to find a friend to read with!

It looks like it'll be a 2017 Best nominee!

[Savanes]

okay!

[Kristie, Moderator]

That one does look good!

[Vicki Willis]

That does sounds great. I am very backed up with reading right now though. :(
Will watch to see how you like it though.

[Savanes]

Ok lets do this then. I will set up a thread. Putting the start date tomorrow so people can join us. :)

[Kristie, Moderator]

Lynn, Savanes, and I are planning a buddy read of The Breakdown, which is a new release in July (the 18th). Everyone is welcome to join. When would you ladies like to schedule the buddy read?

[Savanes]

August?

[Lynn, Moderator]

August would work for me. Any starting date is ok with me but probably a preference for early August.

[Kristie, Moderator]

I'd prefer early too. I already have a copy through NetGalley and had planned on reading it this month, but will put it off to read with you.

[Katie]

Savanes - great! will you post a link to the thread? thank you!

[Katie]

Thank you Lynn!

[Kirsten]

Katie - are you still looking for a buddy? I would love to have an excuse to read The Girls by Emma Cline

[Kristie, Moderator]

Savanes - Does early August work for you for The Breakdown? Want to pick a date?

[Savanes]

Early August works fine! :)

[Kirsten]

Sounds good to me, Kristie! Paris has a high bar to set after Behind Closed Doors. Most chilling villain I've read out about in years.

[Vicki Willis]

I will join in for The Breakdown as well.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Glad you are joining us, Kirsten and Vicki. How does the 7th work for everyone? Or we're thinking earlier, Lynn? Any date works for me.

I never did get around to reading that one. I own it on Kindle though, so I will get to it eventually.

[Savanes]

The 7th looks perfect to me.

[Lynn, Moderator]

7th is fine with me too

[Kristie, Moderator]

Ok. I'll start a thread. :) Can always change the date if we need to.

Let me know when you'd like to start. I'll check the availability at my library.

[Katie]

Most likely near the 15th of this month. I have a few buddy reads at the start of this month - I will keep you updated on my status!

[Savanes]

@kirsten: August!

[Kirsten]

Thanks, Katie & Savanes! I will mark them on my calendar!!!
