I read this back in January & liked it. :D I hope you enjoy it too.

Hi, I have already nominated Recursion for August, but I'm open to other months. Are you flexible to read this in July?

[Lena]

Hello, I didn't really understand if I was able to post a buddy read suggestion here but I would love to nominate A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara which I have started in december but stopped somewhere on page 200.

I hope somebody will join me for this one :) I was planning to read it in June/July but am open for other months as well!

[Chantal]

I will be here less this month and coming month. I will be signing for a new house (if everything goes alright) end of this month. I am now packing my stuff (what can people collect over the years.... lol) and then hopefully unpacking them. I will be here now and then with the books I signed up for.

[Shareen]

Congrats on the house! I got behind on my reading, so I will also have to resist temptation.

[Lena]

Thank you a lot Trisha :)

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Keshav, I've added Midnight's Children to the suggestions for June.

I want to join when the Bird Box sequel happens!

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Shareen, does that mean you want to join for Bird Box in June? Or just for the second book if there's a buddy read?

Updated

Thank you! Just the Second Book!

[Eirelyn]

Congrats on the new house, Chantal! :D

[Fiona]

Ashley, I would like to read Divergent with you 😊

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Updated through here

Thanks for the clarification Shareen.

Divergent is confirmed for June!

I'm interested in reading this book with you, but I cannot do June, due to exams. It's very unpredictable how much I can read in June. I would be up for it if you would read it in July?

Thank YOU!

[Ashley]

Thank you :) looking forward to reading Divergent.

[Simbarashe]

@Trisha, July would be good for me for Recursion

[Sinisa]

Anyone wants to read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury in June...

[Trisha]

Updated through here.

[Eirelyn]

Michelle, we can absolutely read The Darkest Minds in July instead. :D

Are you wanting to read the whole series? Or just the 1st? Or do you want to decide later? XD

[Rachel]

Anyone for “Catch and Kill, lies spies and conspiracy to protect a predator” by Roman Farrow in June? I’m desperate to read this!

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Updated through here

I'll also join for Recursion in July :)

I would just want to start with the first book if that's okay with you :). I often know if I will like the book enough to read it through when reading the first few chapters, so I'll know soon enough in July to make arrangements for the other books in the months that follow.

[Eirelyn]

Michelle, that sounds good to me. :D

[Shareen]

Ruthie and I have just agreed to push Crooked Kingdom to June, if that is okay! Thanks!

Quick question: do all the buddy reads remain open the following month as well?

[Trisha]

Skumaskot wrote: "Quick question: do all the buddy reads remain open the following month as well?"

Yes, buddy read threads remain active until the end, or at least 25th of the succeeding month. For instance: all May BR threads will remain active until 25th June.

[Skumaskot]

Thank you @Trisha! I asked because there's one book which I might not be able to finish by the end of May :)
