Could you please cancel The Mask Falling for September (unless someone jumps in last minute). I still plan on reading it, but Daisie hasn't really checked in, so I don't think there's a point in having the thread up :)But if someone else does say they want to join before the 25th then I'd be happy to continue!
Please cancel my HP suggestions since no one joined me for HP3 this month. Thank you mods.
Alyana, if I like Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone next month, I'm gonna be very busy Oct/Nov, but would be happy to read the rest of the series starting in Dec.
The Mask Falling and HP4 have been moved to "Cancelled." Updated

Please remove me from the IT buddy read. As much as I want to read it, I am over 'booked' (pun intended lol) and won't be able to tackle a huge doorstopper like that right now. TY.
D.L., you are removedChantal, you are added

Will do! :)
I would like to join "Sense and Sensibility".
I'm still good for my read (Malorie). The library site where I get my books did away with the ebook, so now I will be "reading" it via audiobook, since that's the only format they have now. I've never listened to an entire audiobook before, so hopefully this will go well. *fingers crossed* :D
Could you please remove me from the Little Men buddy read in September and the Jo's Boys buddy read in October? I don't think I'll be able to read them anymore, as I really didn't like Good Wives and wasn't able to finish it this month.
I'm also still in for reading Malorie next month! I haven't been able to pick up a copy at the library yet, but it says there are two still available, so it shouldn't be a problem :)
Thanks to those who confirmed. aya, you've been removed from the rest of the Little Women series. Also, since that only leaves Lynn, the series has been moved to cancelled.
Lynn, if you find any other buddy reader, drop a note and we'll reinstate the series for you.
Updated.
PS: We are in the process of posting the September buddy threads.

I would be open to reading the 2nd harry potter book in Dec.
Please cancel my October suggestion of Outside Looking In - I'll still be in lockdown for most of that month so I can'r get the book from my library. I'd also like to suggest Terciel and Elinor for December - I think it's due to be released on November 2. It's #6 in the Sabriel series.
Harry Potter 2 added to suggestions, but I put Alyana's name with a question mark as a participant as I believe she was going to read it? I'll wait to hear from her to confirm.Ashleigh, your October suggestion is cancelled and your December suggestion added.
