1. Sailing to Sarantium - February (448 pages)
2. Lord of Emperors - March (531 pages)

Hi, would anyone be interested in reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee in one of the upcoming months - let's say February? It's the oldest book on my goodreads TBR so I would like to finally knock this one out.

Also I'd like to continue with the Mistborn series so can I be added for book 2 and 3 in Jan-Feb?

[Shareen]

Does this also apply for the Atwood trilogy (MaddAddam)? I just started Crake. Thanks for everything!

THANK YOU! I would love to Buddy on all three. Are all three scheduled for January, though? That would be a little tight, and I would otherwise just stick with the one. Assuming that Thread is not officially launched.
Kristin wrote: "@Shareen, yes it does. Do you want to join the full MaddAddam trilogy or just Oryx & Crake?"

im very much interested in buddy reading the seven husbands of evelyn hugo if you’re still looking !"

Hey Ashley! Sure, I'd love to :)

Can somebody please explain this newbie if I need to create the thread or look for it somewhere? I honestly have no idea who is in charge of doing it, since this year is going to be my first participating in this group's buddy reads... 🙃
Sorry for any inconvenience, I'm super excited for my upcoming BRs!!

Kristin is in charge of the buddy reads, and she will post all the threads. There will be a folder called January Buddy Reads on the homepage soon, and she will let everyone know when all the buddy read threads are posted by posting it in this thread.

They are scheduled for three months :) We will read Oryx & Crake in January, The Year of the Flood in February, and MaddAddam in March. You can also see all planned reads in our spreadsheet that is linked in the first post of this topic.

In January 2020, I want to read Night Boat to Tangier by Kevin Barry, Red at the Bone by Jacqueline Woodson and We, The Survivors by Tash Aw. Anyone in for one of these?

February will hopefully be the time for Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata, The Butterfly Girl by Rene Denfeld and Fugitives and Refugees: A Walk in Portland, Oregon by Chuck Pahlaniuk.

Would be great to have a reading buddy for any of these titles in Jan or Feb next year.

@Alison
Hello there! Our buddy read group will also be reading Stormlight Archive #2.5: Edgedancer, which is a much shorter book (~270 pages).
Just checking to see if you'd also like to join us for that Buddy Read in July (between Books 2 and 3). No pressure!

[Ashley]

I would like to join the buddy read for Gone Girl in March.

In January I am planning on reading Takeoff, The War of the Worlds, and Artemis if anyone is interested.

[Chandler]

I would like to read The New
New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander in January. If anyone wants to join me

Luci, I can't do Big Little Lies in February but I can read it in March or May. If you can do that I will join you.

[Shala]

What month will you be reading The Seven Husbands? I would be interested in joining depending on the month.

@Sandra March is fine by me for Big Little Lies
Looks like we're having a double date in the coming moths! :)

@Shala we're reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo in January, the thread is already set here https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
If you could join us there anytime throughout the month it would be great!

[Rainer]

@Cassie wrote a few days ago that she would join reading Red at the Bone in January and Snow Country in February. So, I will read these two as buddy reads in JAN and FEB 2020.

Hi! November was about nov 2019. To me in January may be a bit difficult because I have things that I have been delaying during holidays and I am in another BR for Mistborn saga on January.

So because I don't want to say yes and having to postpone afterwards, I'd say from February (or later, if you prefer).

Let me know =)

[Eirelyn]

My hold for Recursion by Blake Crouch just came in today, so I will be reading that in January if anyone else would like to join. :D

[Shareen]

I have read A Time to Kill, and remember it well. I would love to be on that thread for chats!

I want to participate if this is still available, and Sandra is still interested.

I'm new to this, and the number of posts was astounding! So please forgive me if I'm not doing something correctly. Please advise if I am.
