[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

A Natural History of Dragons confirmed for May (I'll join in too!)
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest confirmed for March
The Martian confirmed for April (assuming this is okay with Nicolas since he said open to other months)

Kintu added to suggestions.

Everyone is also added to their requests

Niharika, we need to you to suggest months for all those books to add them to the spreadsheet. Since Ilse is interested in The Kiss Quotient and And Then There Were None, I've added them to the suggestions for May. Please confirm May works for those two and suggest months for your other books to have them added. Thank you!
Also, Midnight Library is a buddy read this month already if you have time to join into that one currently.

Viola, Nicolas is correct, the mods will make a thread for each buddy read and post the folder here when they are all up. We usually get it done by the 25th.

[Eirelyn]

@Nicolas & Ilse, I'd love to read The Martian, but April's pretty full for me. If it could be moved to May, I'd join. If not, that's okay too. :) I can read it another time.

Moving The Martian to may is fine with me :)

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Added Eirelyn and moved the Martian to May. Nicolas had said he was good with other months but let us know if that won't work.

Okay, great. :D Thank you! I wanted to read this a few years ago during a buddy read but wasn't able to. I'm excited. :D

[Niharika]

I am sorry. I am new here and all these instructions & information is quite overwhelming.
I am not sure if I can plan what I want to read in May right now. So you can carry on ..as I am carrying on with my current read.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Okay. I am moving The Kiss Quotient and And Then There Were None to cancelled then, is that correct?
Ilse, if you would like to look for a buddy for those in May we can move them back to suggested.

Updated

[Ilse]

Yes, it would be great if you could put those up as suggestions for may!

[D.L.]

Please add me to the following discussions:

March: The Duke and I
Nine Perfect Strangers

April: The Secret Garden
The Maze Runner

May: The Kite Runner
When No One Is Watching
The Martian

[D.L.]

Also, is anyone interested in discussing Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson? Suggesting April, but I'm open to other months.

[Niharika✩]

I don't believe anyone checks the Buddy Read spreadsheet. And my suggestion is way up. So I'm posting an update. Anyone up for Rumblestar for March? It's open to other months.

I don't even know if I'm allowed to post updates. Delete this if I'm not.

We do check the spreadsheet from time to time. Rumblestar was suggested for March, you can just ask them to have it moved to May. The mods will post the confirmed and suggested books for March by next week so other readers can join or opt out. :)

Sorry, March. I keep getting confused between the two. I changed it.

[Trisha]

Niharika wrote: "I don't believe anyone checks the Buddy Read spreadsheet. And my suggestion is way up. So I'm posting an update..."

Niharika, most of our buddy readers are seasoned and keep an eye on the spreadsheet. For the newbies, we keep instructing them to check the spreadsheet from time to time. If someone is not checking the spreadsheet, they are doing it wrong!

Besides, SarahKat lists down the suggestions for the next month in the second post of this thread which she also shares with the group in a new reminder post roughly around the 20th. So anyone who skips checking the spreadsheet (which shouldn't be skipped ideally) can get the details from there. That's the most we can do to lure readers!

[Trisha]

Ilse, both the suggestions added to May.

D.L., you're added to all the requested buddy reads. Speak added to April suggestions. (I have been wanting to read this; I'll try getting a copy so I can join you.)
