2020 July-December Buddy Read Sign-Up Thread

[Eirelyn]

Hi, I would like to retract my suggestions of Room by Emma Donoghue & Run by Blake Crouch for November. I am already behind on reading & have enough books planned for Nov as it is now. I don't think I'd be able to read these too if someone joined.

Thanks! :D

Cancelled as requested. Always a good choice to look at our planned reads beforehand and replan if needed than to panic at the end. :)

[Ilona]

Please also sign me up for Anxious People by Fredrik Backman. Either November or December is fine by me.

Since Anxious People seems to be a popular suggestion, I'm confirming it for November considering most of you were okay for both November and December.

If any of you want the BR to be pushed to December, let the Mods know in this thread.
