I have Leah on the Offbeat planned for July as mentioned before so would love to join.
Hadn't noticed it in between the other books you mentioned, sorry Kayla.
I would love to join the Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda in June. My daughter has the book and it fills one of my prompts for my annual challenge.I think somewhere Mary Pat asked me if I still wanted to do the Red Queen series. I do but definitely can't fit it in. I could see where I am in the fall with my challenge and get back to you on that.

I would love to join both buddy reads. However, that will be the...fourth...time ive read [book:Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda just this year. My copy of Leah on the Offbeat will be in the mail today and I don't know how well I'll be able to hold off lol
kayla wrote: "Awesome! Just let me know when you want to start :) ."Probably mid May. Have to read a book for a training in May first + still finishing His Dark Materials.
Looks like I'm going to have to buy the book; my library doesn't have it in Amsterdam and in other cities it's not available at the moment. Not sure yet if I'll buy the paperback edition or ebook.....
Am also in for The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue either in June or August (or after), whatever! And lastly, I would be interested in Circe too but like someone else said, don’t know if I’ll be able to get it in time for May :/

I am up for June then :D
So buddy read for Simon Vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda in June!
I’m up for reading Circe whenever it’s scheduled. I already own the book so any month will work for me.
I will join for Circe as well. Whenever. Kristin, I might join you for Small Spaces. I don't generally enjoy middle grade unless I'm reading the book to my son, and this one sounds a little too scary for him. But I did like Bear and the Nightingale so much I'm willing to give this one a try.

Alright so let me make sure I have this correct. Circe BR is May (does everyone think they can get a copy by the 10th? We could start it the 11th?)
July is Knife of Never Letting Go.
Septembee is Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine
If i forgot any books let me know :)

EIrelyn, Susy, Ilona, Joan, Shilpa - I have Simon Versus the Homo Sapiens Agenda scheduled for June followed by the second book in the Creekwood series - Leah on the Offbeat - in July.

Scott, Ilona - and others reading the Throne of Glass series - is everyone in for The Assassin's Blade? And when do folks want to read it?

A date was never set to start the Red Queen series so I think I will remove it from the list for now. There were only two participants and everyone seems to have full plates for now! :)

Hi, Kayla! I will be posting the May buddy read threads shortly and will make sure Circe is there. The others will be part of the updated list we keep in the buddy reads folder. I will post a link shortly after I have updated it.
On another note, buddy reads tend to be relaxed and as a general rule we don't set exact start days. Everyone reads the book and comments at their own pace. Since participants can be at different parts of the book at different times, we do ask that everyone mark spoilers!
Greetings, All! I just caught up on all of the posts here and will create May threads shortly. (Sorry for the delay!)One question - Is Circe going to be in May or June?
I’m fine with doing the throne of glass prequel book anytime. We are scheduled to finish book 6 in June so July or later I guess would be when to do it
Mary Pat wrote: "Greetings, All! I just caught up on all of the posts here and will create May threads shortly. (Sorry for the delay!)One question - Is Circe going to be in May or June?"
I think May and then maybe prolong it to June too for those of us who don't get the book in time to finish it in may?

Thank you Mary Pat.
Savannah wrote: "I see you have the May buddy reads up, is Miss Peregrines still happening?"
I definitely have it on my tbr pile for May and think I'll start it immediately after finishing my current read! So I'd say yes, it's still happening if at least you want to join me?

July would be fine with me. Do we know when the next book will be published?
The next book in the throne of glass series will be released oct 23.
FYI, I still have more may buddy reads to post! I was unable to finish last night but I will get the rest of them up today!
Still kind of a buddy reading novice here, don't know how it all works or if I'm going about it the right way...I'd like to participate in May's buddy read of Circe when that thread goes up.

I’ve never initiated a buddy read before I could definitely have been the one to second it! 😄

I think Mary Pat just didn't get to it yet and will list it as she mentioned a few posts before :)

^Yes...Mary Pat had said it was the runner up in the polls so would anyone like to read it....which made it sound like several people were interested. That’s a bummer but you and I can buddy read it this month, I have no problem with that! I was planning on visiting the library this weekend so I’ll pick it up.

July is good for The Knife of Never Letting Go and I wouldn't mind reading the whole series.
