You can find your thread here.

It's an informal buddy read, so it is up to you guys how you decide to break it up or if you break it up at all. There's no set structure.

Have fun!

Tracy (tracyisreading) Hi mods! Brooke and I are starting a buddy read for All the Ugly and Wonderful Things this weekend, can someone start a thread for us??

Joshua Briggs | 7 comments Hello!
I've never posted in here before, but I intend to read Lonsesome Dove by Larry McMurty. I've never been a huge western fan, but it is my roommate's favorite book, so I want to get through it. I got probably a third of the way through the audiobook, but didn't listen for a long time and thought it'd be better to start over, so I got a print copy. I'm trying to finish the Lies of Locke Lamora first, which I will probably by this weekend..... Shoot for April 1st as a start date?

Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry
