Trisha & SarahKat

A quick note to inform you that the multi-month The Tale of Genji Buddy Read finishes this month.
In the event that one of us (most likely me) fails to finish the book this month, Margie and I can simply continue our discussion in this month's thread.
Thank you both for all you do!

Thanks for the update, oshizu! I’ll highlight the same in the spreadsheet so that we don’t unnecessarily move the topic to the October folder.

In the Discworld ongoing buddy read, this month we're doing Small Gods. It's a great jumping-in point, stand-alone story within the larger series, if anyone new would like to join in.
