I would like to join the buddy read in May for An Ember in the Ashes please. I'm just going to read this book in the series.
--
Would anyone like to read Station Eleven with me? June onwards would be good for me.

[Ruthie]

More ideas! Open to doing these in a different month since I have them on audible instead of waiting on a library hold if my buddy/buddies need time to purchase the book.

April- or another month

The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller

The Kingdom of Back by Marie Lu

All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace

House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J Maas

May-or another month

King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo

An Echo of things to come by James Islington

(#2 in the Licanus trilogy-I've already read the first one so can wait if someone needs time to read the first one. Interested in reading the whole series of 3 books)

I am! I love Elizabeth Chadwick and that book is easy to get from my library at any time...but according to my other buddy reads, May is perfect!

Great!

[Gabriella]

I'd like to join Go Set a Watchman in April and Dune in July.

[Shareen]

Anyone into the Eragon books? I have read the first three, and would love a Buddy for the fourth, whether soon, or after any groups finish the first three! Same for Wizard and Glass, which is the fourth of the Stephen King Dark Tower books.

[Eirelyn]

I believe that I hopped on board for Crooked Kingdom, but I'm going to hop back off again because I disliked the 1st book in the series so much that I couldn't even finish it. So, Kristin, if you wouldn't mind removing me from that buddy read, that would be much appreciated. :D Thanks.

I hope this one is good! I’ve read too many of his works and I’m a FAN! So happy to have you on board!

Yayy (even though I could only tempt with you one)!

[Eirelyn]

Trisha, I hope it's good too! XD I'm not a huge fan of horror in general, but I like when it borders on other genres as well. The summary of this book of his in particular sounded very intriguing.
