[Brina]

Yay! I plan on reading all three. I got from thrift books and that’s my new place to get books from until the libraries open.

[Cynda]

I am in for Martin Fierro on June 1.

[Brina]

Great!

Normally, if it's not a group read, I like to start in the second half of the month if that's okay.

[Brina]

I haven’t planned my July yet but that’s fine with me. I like to alternate fiction and nonfiction so I’ll just schedule buddy reads in this group for the second half of the month.

[Cynda]

I can put iff starting by about a week. That might help actually. And I will take my time. I will make a fair-to-good attempt to read in the Spanish.

Also looking and planning for buddy reads of these books in July if they don’t win the polls:

A Fine Balance

Ramon..."

I anticipate that East of Eden will win the Revisit the Shelf poll. I just purchased a kindle version to be prepared.

[Jenn]

I agree that East of Eden will probably win, but would anyone be interested in a Three Musketeers buddy read?

[Minnie]

I'd love to, but don't know if I'll have the time in June. But let me put in a word for the new Ellsworth translation of the main novel and all its sequels, it's worth the extra expense!

If it was like July or August...

[Minnie]

In that case I'd like to join as well! :)

I'd be fine with that, actually.

[Darren]

I would like to start Three Musketeers in July
so joining in a buddy read would be great :o)

[Alexw]

July will be perfect for me for Three Musketeers to buddy read-my copy was printed in 1953 !!

[Jenn]

Sounds like a plan then :)

I might join in, too.

[Philina]

Who wanted to read A Thousand Acres with me in the second half of the year?
I remember I talked to somebody about it...

It wasn't me you talked to but I would like to, I have it in my to-read list and would like to add to my life-list of Pulitzers, now at 33. Can you send me a message when you're close?

[Philina]

Wonderful, George! I'm reading the Pulitzers, too.

I'm extremely flexible and wanted to wait for the person whom I talked to to tell me when it would suit him or her.

[Sara, New School Classics]

Cynda and I are planning a read of The Ghost Stories of Edith Wharton beginning on July 27th...just in case anyone would like to join us.

[Sara, New School Classics]

Pink, I set up a thread for The Ghost Stories of Edith Wharton. We won't be reading until late July, but I thought I would ask you to put it on the schedule whenever you think it appropriate.

[Philina]

For our A Thousand Acres buddy read we are waiting for the end of the August polls. This way, all the people who voted for the book can join in as well.

[Michaela]

Brina, have you already read Ramona? I´d otherwise be interested, but not before August.

[Brina]

Michaela, I have the book and can read when it’s convenient for others. Right now I’m mainly reading contemporary fiction as it’s all I can handle.

[Michaela]

Thanks! Just tell me if or when you want to read it! :)

[Brina]

Good to know. I’ll see what’s going on in a month and let you know. I’m sticking to light reading now just to stay fresh and I’ll let you know soon enough.

Brina, I also remember talking with you about reading "Ramona" sometime this summer or fall. I will agree to putting it off for a couple of months too. I have not been reading anything heavy either. But am just starting to feel the urge to read something a little more substantial. I'll just wait to see the Buddy Read request come up and join in. Whenever is fine with me :)

[Michaela]

I agree about reading lighter literature at first, but trying other books too. Looking ahead to whenever we´ll read this! :)

I'm in :)

[Darren]

Pink - please could you put Three Musketeers on the schedule list for July

I assume we will just use the existing group "Alexandre Dumas Collection" threads and add to the discussions there:

[Nidhi]

I would love to join you for The Three Musketeers but I am reading The Count of Monte Cristo with two groups and enjoying Dumas writing very much so maybe I will join all sometime later.

I just happened to buy a copy of A Fine Balance: Drama. Just wondering if this is the same book you were planning to read?

[Darren]

Nidhi - re Three Musketeers - I personally am scheduling it as a Quarterly Long Read i.e. over more than just July - potentially into August and September too!
don't know about the other buddy readers

[Nidhi]

Then I will definitely join you in this read. I don’t have problem in reading two works by same author simultaneously, I have already done that with Dickens and Hardy but both books should have difference in their timeline ( beginning, plot development, ending).
I have reached 40% with Monte Cristo.

[Michaela]

I´m interested in The Three Musketeers too, but cannot join before the end of July.

[Brina]

I’m not doing any buddy reads here until at least back to school time so I apologize. I’m only really reading contemporary fiction and lite nonfiction at the moment to tide me through these months.

[Terris]

No problem! I have plenty of other things to read :)

[Michaela]

Haven´t we all! ;)

Added this to the list for July/ August with a link to the existing discussion threads :)

I’ve added this to the schedule list, with a link to the discussion thread :)

If I’ve missed anything, just let me know!

[Darren]

Many Thanks Pink! Much Appreciated :o)

Agree! :)

[Jenn]

I'd be good with a Quarterly Long Read with Three Musketeers. There's no reason to make it a July-only read.

[Brenda]

I’d like to read The Three Musketeers as well! I’ve got some other big reads going on tho, but if it’s a quarterly read, I could that.

[Cynda]

Mods, would you set up a buddy read for Irphen and me to read Circe by Madeline Miller. We will be reading June 15th to July 15th.

As far as Moby-Dick; or, The Whale, I don't think I'm ready to try that one again just yet."

I'm slowly reading War and Peace and loving it. Would love to discuss this in the fall.
