Kristin wrote: "Updated to here! Cassie, will you be reading all of the Anne of Green Gables books with Chantal?"Sure put me down for all of the Anne of Green Gables!
Also, I've put a hold on The Goldfinch and am hoping it will be available close to April.... can you add me to that one as well?
Thanks!
If not too late to nominate one for March--Trail of Lightning. And if it is too late--no problem! :)
I’d like to join Children of Virtue and Vengeance with Lynn.Open to doing this in February or another month this year.
Nominating Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. The first book in her Six of Crows Duology. Would like to read both books which would be the whole series. Would like this buddy read to start in March 2020.
Confirming that YES, I want to read those MaddAddams in February and March! Thanks for your incredible work.

Ruthie, I'll join you for the Six of Crows duology, starting in March. I tried it a couple years ago but wasn't feeling it at the time. I've been meaning to give it another go.

March works! Going to alert our Mod right now, would love to join on that and the Atwood book that month!
Sorry, Kristin, emailed when I originally could not find our Thread. Please add me to March for both Atwood and Bardugo!

Absolutely no problem, Kristin! :)
Would anyone be interested in reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky with me in February (or another month)?

I'd like to join the buddy read for Sourcery by Terry Pratchett in February, and Wyrd Sisters (also by Pratchett) in March.I hope I've done that correctly.
Would anyone like to buddy read The Darkest Minds series by Alexandra Bracken, starting in June? Just the four main books, though, so...June: The Darkest Minds
July: Never Fade
August: In The Afterlight
September: The Darkest Legacy
Or we could start a different month. I'm pretty open.
I would like to join Luisa and Sandra in February to read An Anonymous Girl! I would also like to join the buddy read for Inferno, Twisted Twenty-Six, and Circe in March!
And A Separate Peace with Cassie and Eirelyn in April, please! I would like to propose The Dutch House as a buddy read for May since I must review it for June 1! :)
Collyre wrote: "Is anybody interested in reading this one ->No Exit in February ?"It has a running hold list at my library so not sure I’d be able to get it when you were reading it. Hopefully someone else joins you and then if I’m able, I will!
Collyre wrote: "Is anybody interested in reading this one ->No Exit in February ?"I would also like to buddy read this but my library has a 6-month waitlist! It must be a great book.
Allie & Dianna Would it help if we moved it to march? Do you guys think that could give you enough time to get the book from libirary?
Because i just thought it could be fun to read it with people, so you want another month, you just say so

If there’s a 6 month wait for her, probably not :(
I don’t want to commit and have the Mods go to the trouble and then I can’t get the book either.
I just checked No Exit at my library out of curiosity and it mustn't be as popular here because of the 2 copies one was available now and the other Feb 6!I don't think I can join it as it doesn't look like my cup of tea, but no long holds here
Please add me to Borne for the May Buddy Read! If there are sequels, please add me to those as well! THANK YOU!
Confirming: I did see a Borne 1.5 and Borne 2; I am up for the three, thanks AGAIN, you do so much.
I also want to join the Borne Buddy read.

Full, please.
Kristin wrote: "Dominique, would you like to join in the full Borne series, or just the first book? Shareen, I'll add you to all 3."
YAY, US! Thank you!
@Kristin - Please add me to the complete Borne series - #1, 1.5 & 2. Thanks in advance!
KristinCan you delete my nomination on No Exit in febuary ?
Because then i just think i will join buddy read on this book instead Behind Closed Doors .

I am in no rush, so if it helps, i could maybe move to june?

Can I join the buddy reads for know my name? In February? I’ve no idea what I’m supposed to do other than read the book...
Rebecca wrote: "Can I join the buddy reads for know my name? In February? I’ve no idea what I’m supposed to do other than read the book..."
You don't have to do anything else, Rebecca. Read and discuss the book with other readers to whatever extent you desire :)
I heartily second All the Light We Cannot See as a Buddy Read! I started it for the General Discussion, but got too excited and ended up getting into books that were "due" sooner. I will do that with you, Ruthie! Please let us know if we may do that, Kristin!

I’d like to read The Cruel Prince and Ask Again, Yes.
April would be fine but if able, not March. I have a big trip that month and start back at work after our winter break. Already have a few other buddy reads planned for that month as well. If moving it isn’t possible/conducive to others, I will pass, no worries!

I’m sure that would be plenty of time to find a copy, yes.

The Passage is such a good series! I read it through 2018-2019 (all the books) and absolutely loved it!
We can move The Cruel Prince to April! The months I chose are based on my library holds so I might have to start it in March so the library doesn’t take it back early and finish through the beginning of April!
I’d like to join:A Cruel Prince
A Touch of Gold
Fire and Blood
Please 😊
Hi All!Bird Box by Josh Malerman is my March 2020 book suggestion.
If anyone wants to read it with me let me know! I bought the book a few months ago, so it's waiting for me to finally pick it up.
