Niharika✩ (doesitreallymatterpeople) | 223 comments Hello! Can I change my entry? Message 810 updated to Rumblestar + by Abi Elphinstone
+ for march+ open to other months.


message 764: by Helene (new)

Helene Is there anyone here who is as late as me to the party and haven’t read The song of Achilles by Madeline Miller and A hitchhikers guide to the galaxy by Douglas Adams? If there is anyone who’s up for taking these books on let me know. I suggest April as month but anything from March to the end of the year works too 😊

Are you talking the combined collection of A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or just the first book? Because I have The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, #1-5) by Douglas Adams which I have been meaning to read.


message 766: by Trisha (last edited Feb 06, 2021 11:45PM) (new)

Trisha (trishabisen) | 2389 comments Niharika, your suggestion has been updated.

Frezita, you're add to all the requested BRs. For the ones being read in February, the threads are already posted and you can join the desired BRs here.

Helene, added both the suggestions to April. I've only added the first book of A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, if you want that to be updated to the combined collection or want to suggest the entire series, let us know.

Updated.

Helene, I can join The Song of Achilles BR in May.
Are we reading one book per month or the complete Omnibus of A Hitchhiker's guide in Galaxy in one month?


message 768: by Helene (new)

Helene Great Raviteja 👏 may works for me 😊 I was thinking one book at a time with the hitchhiker series. We could read it as either continuing on whenever we finish one book, or spread it over five months. I’m up for either of those.


message 769: by Helene (new)

Helene Sorry Sarah I didn’t see your post before I posted. I meant the series. Would you want to read them all or just the first? We could read all like I mention above to Raviteja either as a continuing series without the limitation of waiting for the next month or one each month. I am down for either of those options 😊


message 770: by Helene (new)

Helene Also, I want to get the book you have Sarah instead of buying them all separate. From the link to it I see there is a prequel included which I haven’t heard of before (0,5?) Just need to get ahold of it 😊 does May work for you instead of April?


message 771: by Ilse (new)

Ilse | 337 comments I’ll join Song of Achilles in may


message 772: by Helene (new)

Helene Thanks Trisha I meant the whole series but depending on who joins how we read it. Spread over months or as one 😊

I just wanted to know so that I can plan my reads. I am okay with the full omnibus or one book per month.


message 774: by Helene (new)

Helene Great Ilse and Raviteja 👏


message 775: by SarahKat, Buddy Reads (new)

SarahKat | 6224 comments Song of Achilles confirmed for May

I went ahead and confirmed Hitchhiker's Guide for April with Helene, Raviteja, and Sara with a note that you are deciding whether to do the omnibus or one book per month.

If you want to do the full series (omnibus), we can just put it in for a 2-month read; that way the full discussion would be in one place but you wouldn't have to hurry to finish all the books in one month.

May works for me. :) And I also would like to read the entire series. I'm also okay with reading all of them in one month together or the two month thing like SarahKat suggested. Or we can break them up over five months if that's what Raviteja prefers. I'm flexible.

message 779: by Trisha (new)

Trisha (trishabisen) | 2389 comments Meghan, Ina, and Brett - you all have been added.

Helene & the hitchhikers - have you made your mind on which version will you be reading? Based on your conversation, I’ve moved book#1 to May. Also, we have 1 book planned per month from May onwards; if that’s not what you intend to do, let us know here.

Updated.
