I assume next month since you said March? Also, I am pretty sure Kristin will make a topic where we can discuss the book as we read it :D

@Sakshi
Near the end of every month, Kristin (our mod in charge of Buddy Reads) creates a new folder that holds all of the BR threads for that month. For example, here's the February BR folder: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

The quickest way to reach a Buddy Read folder for a particular month is to check the Monthly Message. It's always the first thread on this group's home page under "Announcements."

[Chantal]

Would anybody want to join Looking for Mr. Goodbar by Judith Rossner in April?

[Dianne]

I would be interested. It looks like I can get this from the library at any time and I love modern historical books! I lived that era.

Thanks!

YAYYYY‼️ Thank you for your work‼️

[Dominique]

You guys are reading so many good books. So hard to choose!

[Shareen]

Thank you for the kindness, Kristin, and right, Dominique? I have 7 books planned for March, lol.

[Thereadingbell]

I want to join the A Game of Thrones buddy read and These Happy Golden Years

[Dominique]

Shareen wrote: "Thank you for the kindness, Kristin, and right, Dominique? I have 7 books planned for March, lol."

I have 6. Even though I already read A Game of Thrones, I might join you guys by doing the audio just to refresh before book 2.

[Shareen]

Good, cus I suspect I will have questions!

[Dominique]

Shareen wrote: "Good, cus I suspect I will have questions!"

@Lynn
I'm already committed to 4 BRds in May, but would happily read The Dutch House by Anne Pratchett with you in April. Is that too early for you?

[Lindsay]

Would anyone like to read Lincoln in the Bardo in August or July? I'd prefer August but I'm ok with July.

[oshizu]

Lindsay wrote: "Would anyone like to read Lincoln in the Bardo in August or July? I'd prefer August but I'm ok with July."

Lindsay, I've been hoping to read this book in 2020 and would love to join you. I also prefer the month of August. So, August?

I would be more than happy to Buddy Read The Dutch House with you in April, oshizu!

[Ilona]

I would love to join for both The Dutch House in April and Lincoln in the Bardo in August!

That's awesome! I'm looking forward to it!

Whoo! Whoo! The Dutch House it is! ;)

Oh no! Please feel free to let me know if you want to read it in any other month. If not, that's okay!

[Shareen]

I would do Dracula! Fun! Like THE Dracula?

[Allison]

Sunshine wrote: "Would anyone like to discuss Dracula in October?"

Me!!

[Shareen]

Yay on the Dracula Party!

[Eirelyn]

Ooh, October is the best time to read Dracula. I read it a few Octobers ago, and it was a lot of fun. XD

Kristin, I don’t want to pressurise you to read with me. Let’s have your name as tentative, probably in parentheses like you’ve done previously, and also wait for other readers to nominate. Although I’d be delighted if you do get the time to read along.

[Fiona]

I would like to join the Raven Cycle, starting with the second book, as I already read the first one and probably won't have the time to reread it. But I'm in for the other books :)

I would also be in on City of Bones in July and One of Us Is Lying in October but I'm not sure yet whether to read the whole series or just the first book.

[Thereadingbell]

Can I get a buddy read thread for me and Jhuma for The Stand by Stephen King starting it March 7

[Ruthie]

More ideas lol

April

How to Raise an Adult by Julie Lythcott-Haims

May

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
(Book #1 in the series. Interested in reading whole series-right now 5 books and a 6th slated but no release date yet)

June

Yes No Maybe So by Becky Albertalli

August

Storm Siren by Mary Weber (Book #1 in the Storm Siren series of 3 books, interested in reading the whole series)

[Eirelyn]

Ruthie, I suggested Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children for the May Group Read, but if it isn't chosen, I'll read it with you in May. :D

(Will know more when the nominations are over & poll results are in.)

[Ruthie]

Awesome! I missed your comment!
