Adithi, you have several books that have buddy reads set up. Take a look at this thread if you'd like to align your books with others reading them at the same time.

e.g. Beartown #3
Guernsey is #8

The list is in post 2. Look at the very end for suggestions by others

Adithi, what a wonderful list. Rachel has zookeepers wife and I think a few others do as well. I am urging her to move hers to 35, but you might check with her. Welcome and great that you are jumping right in.

[Joanne]

Adithi, I have Read Six of Crows, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society(Which made my top ten this year),All the Light We Cannot See andCirce(another top ten)! I hope you enjoy then all!

I don't match any of yours with my "36", but I do want to read
The Heart's Invisible Furies, so if it pops up for you I may just read long with you!

Welcome to PBT you are going to love it here!

[Amy]

She did switch it! And it’s a fabulous book! I hope he gets picked for you too and for anyone else who had it on their list.

Thank you for the warm welcome Joanne, I look forward to reading them all and enjoying them as much as you did!! I'd love to read The Heart's Invisible Furies alongside you, I look forward to it :)

Unfortunately, I couldn't get my hands on Gracefully Grayson so I'll be replacing that with What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli

Adilthi ... you cannot replace any books until the mid-year switch out is announced. So fingers crossed that # 3 doesn't get called before then.

You CAN reorganized your list (except for # 19), to match up buddy reads up until tomorrow I think (Jan 1 deadline? or is it tonight, Dec 31?)

Oh no, I hope it doesn't get called on then :( I did rearrange #3 so I could match up with my buddy read so fingers crossed that #2 isn't called on until the mid-year switch
