Allie, Rachael - I've added you both to the last three primary books of The Selection Series. The Buddy reads are planned from January 2021 to March 2021.

Rachael - Since SarahKat has already added you to the first two books, you're basically there for all five. :)

Updated.

[oshizu]

I wish to suggest the following Buddy Read:


*Book: The Likeness by Tana French
*Series: Book 2 of the Dublin Murder Squad (Just this book for now)
*Month: October only

I was thinking that, if this becomes a confirmed Buddy Read, the participants could later discuss together (in the Buddy Read thread) how to proceed with the series.

[Ruthie]

Hi Mods!

I was talking with a fellow member of the group and noticed that The Outlander series was not on the spreadsheet for September or October.

I would like to read the whole Outlander series. If the current buddies want to read with me this will mean that we continue with the 3rd book in September Voyager and so on.

Hopefully others come on here and confirm! I asked them to on the Dragonfly in Amber buddy read for this month

[Ruthie]

Also,
You can cancel The Trials of Apollo series because I DNFed the first book and don't want to continue the series

[Ruthie]

I would also like to continue the Dune series in September with #2. I saw on the spreadsheet y'all are waiting for someone to confirm

[Ruthie]

And the Lunar Chronicles with #4 Winter in September

[Sinisa]

I would like to confirm/join Dune Messiah with Elena in September

[Sinisa]

I would like to suggest the following:

One Hundred Years of Solitude for September
1984 for September
Never Let Me Go for September

[Grace]

I would also like to read the whole Outlander series!

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Alright! Ruthie thank you for staying so on top of your buddy reads!

The entire Outlander series in confirmed! (currently with just Ruthie and Grace but we can easily add). It is set to end in February with Written in My Own Heart's Blood

Trials of Apollo series is cancelled: It looked like Elena was inactive the first month but Elena if you want these added back on the spreadsheet as suggested that is doable.

Dune readers, are you confirming the entire series or just book 2 for September to October for now?

I've added Winter as suggested for now just until we get at least one other confirmation.

Sinisa, all of your suggestions have been added.

Q : Dune readers, are you confirming the entire series or just book 2 for September to October for now?

A: Lets say just book 2 Dune Messiah for now. I am open for others but we will updated it later if needed

[Grace]

I would also like to join The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle in October! I hoped to read it in August, but my hold won't become become available in time.

Jenni, which buddy read are you interested in joining?
If it's the Outlander series, do you want to join the whole series from book#2-#8?

[Ruthie]

I'm up for the whole Dune series but I guess it will be marked as suggested until someone else agrees!

[Izzy]

I want to read The Book Thief in September.

[Luisa]

Hi!
I would like to join these buddy reads:
The Ocean at the End of the Lane in September
Dune Messiah also in September.

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Izzy and Luisa you are added!

Yes Ruthie, for now I will leave Dune #3 under suggested. I see that Elena had originally suggested the entire series but I see she's been inactive in the first one. The third one is due to start in November so there's plenty of time for people to join or Elena to reconfirm :)
