Anisa you are added to The Hunting Party.

And I've added Half of a Yellow Sun to the July suggestions.

Updated

Hi Trisha, thank you. I’m not sure how I directly reply to your comment on the app!

I’ve had a look at the spreadsheet and was wondering if I could please be added to:
• Lock every door - Riley Sager - July
• Ninth house - Leigh Bardugo - August
• The ocean at the end of the lane - Neil Gaiman - September

(Hopefully i’ve got the months right)

[Elaine]

I am happy to read The Bear and the Nightingale and The Priory of the Orange Tree as suggested by Irma in July. Sorry for the late notice, just joined the group!

[Nancy-Ann]

I'd love to participate in the July reads for Dune, Dark Matter, and The Silence of the Lambs.

Awesome Thanks for joining Laura and Thanks Sarah for creating a thread. I was thinking the same thing Half of a yellow sun first then Americanah, just because in terms of good reads rating they are in that order :-)

Why is Buddy Read Posting Day the most exciting day of the month for me, lol. THANK YOU, Team! So much!

Hi,
I am happy to read the The Hunting Party in September as it is my random read month.
I also loved the Guest list by Lucy Foley which I read this June.

Thanks to the mods for organizing this for us! It has to be A LOT of work but I appreciate it so much. I can't wait to do some reading. TYYYY!

Thank you all for your kind words! Trisha and I only took over moderating the buddy reads a few months ago so it's nice to know we're doing a good job! :)

[Trisha]

Indeed, thank you for the overwhelming response! 😊

The July buddy reads link does not transfer to a page... my phone says not found... can you post one more time please?

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Here's the link with the url if that helps: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

You can also navigate to it by going to the main discussion page and it's the "July Buddy Reads" folder.
