Hi, Trisha! Could you please add me to the August Buddy Read of The Night Watchman? One of my book club selected this for the August read, so might as well join the Buddy Read here, too!
Does anyone want to read Good Wives and the subsequent two books in the Little Women series by Louisa May Alcott with me, starting in August? I know this suggestion is really late, so could it be moved to a suggestion for September if nobody responds before the 25th? Thanks!(also confirming my participation for 'one last stop' with Veronica)
Thank you to those who have confirmed their participation.Lynn, you've been added to The Night Watchman.
aya, Good Wives added to the August suggestions.

Hi, Trisha! Could you please add Xenocide (Ender's Saga #3) to the August listing? Ilse and Sinisa will join me in reading that.
Also, Ilse and I would like to read Children of the Mind (Ender's Saga #4) in September. (Sinisa may or may not join us in that one!)
Thank you so much! I know tracking all of this requires much time and effort on your part! You do an amazing job!

I would do Harry Potter, but I'll be way too busy in October. I could do it in August, or maybe September.

Sure, that's fine. I get library books for 4 weeks and can renew--I'll try to remember to note things I remember at the three stages of buddy reads if I read it in Sept, but that's a busy month so I might forget to do that.
