Thanks for the update. I would also like to read Lock every door in July.

And I saw Sapiens: A brief history of mankind was a suggested read for June by Irma.
Irma if you are interested we can read Sapiens together in August. I would be really happy to join you.

[Maria]

I would like to join in on reading Lock Every Door in July and Ninth House in August as well!

Hi 👋 was wondering if anyone would be up for a bit of a long read this year. Leo Tolstoy ~ war and peace has been on my tbr list forever. It’s quite a long read so I would some motivated readers out there to join me. I’d like to start in August but if anyone that wants to join would like to start a different month I’m all for that too. Just thought I should suggest a month to get the ball rolling ☺️ really hope someone will join me though.


Also sign me up for a Christmas carol too please in December 😊

[Ashley]

I will join war and peace in August. it on my list and I am determined to read it this year.

I will join if we can spread it out, especially if we start in August/ September, even!

Ashley wrote: "I will join war and peace in August. it on my list and I am determined to read it this year."

Yay! Thats great :-) I shall look forward to reading it with you then. We can perhaps read it over two months or something if it proves to be a bit tough. :-)

Sounds good to spread it out. If we start in August and take two months to read that's still great. Or even if it will take more than two months to read. Might be having to take a break now and then and read a book in-between. I am just happy to have company reading it, so thank you :-)

[Ashley]

over two months if needed sounds good to me.

[Helene]

Great 😊 can’t wait

[Brenda]

I would also be interested in War & Peace in August!

[Helene]

That’s awesome Brenda 😊

[Brenda]

Thanks Helene, I’m looking forward!

[Allison]

I may also be interested in War and Peace and LOVE the idea of spreading it out haha.

[Ashley]

with the interest in war and peace and spreading it out, we definitely should do August and september. if anyone reads it in one that fine but then at least if it's over 2 months your not going to feel rushed. j definitely agree we should spread it out :) cant wait

[Dikshita]

I would love to read War and Peace with you guys over two months. I love the idea of spreading it for two months. Count me in as well.

[Trisha]

War and Peace confirmed for August-September.

Helene - You've been added to A Christmas Carol as requested.

Updated to here.

[Fatemeh]

I'd like to join for War and Peace as well. I think it's finally time for me to tackle and finish this book.

[Dikshita]

Guys anyone wants to read An Ember in the Ashes in September?

[Dikshita]

I share the same thoughts Alexxy. I have been avoiding it for the longest time now. I am so glad that Helene came up with the recommendation.

@Sandra, it looks as though the original post has been deleted! Because my comment was the next post right after it, but I went back and looked, and (like you mentioned) it's not there. =\

Since it's not on the "suggested" list, you could always suggest it yourself. :D

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

The A.B.C. Murders Confirmed for August.

Sandra, your other 3 books are suggested and awaiting a second reader :)

Hi! I read this one last month. I'd love to read the 2nd and third with you. If you end up reading the first one on your own, let me know when you're ready for the 2nd and third

[Dikshita]

Hi Ruthie. I will read it by myself in July. Let’s read the second one together in August. What say?

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Dikshita, Ruthie, what I've done is moved An Ember in the Ashes as a suggested read for July in case anyone wants to join you, Dikshita.

Books 2 and 3 of this series are Suggested for August and September, waiting for Ruthie to confirm that these months work :)

Erin, I will join to you to discuss Eragon in July, so that is confirmed. My son and I just started the audio and it will likely take us through July to finish it.

Dikshita wrote: "Hi Ruthie. I will read it by myself in July. Let’s read the second one together in August. What say?"

Yes I agree! Let's read A Torch Against the Night in August and A Reaper at the Gates in September.

I took notes as I read it because it was a buddy read post for May so we can discuss the first one as you read in messages or in the old buddy read post if you want.

[Maria]

I’m reading Beach Read in July if anyone wants to join in on that as well?

[D.L.]

I'll join in for Eragon. Welcome to the group, Erin!

[Esther]

I would like to join in with Queenie in July.
