Buddy Read Requests

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Do you have a book you want to read but don't want to go it alone? Think it would be more fun to read with someone else? Then find yourself a buddy here.

To request a buddy read, make a comment in this thread stating the name of the book, the author, a link to the book and the start date (if you have a preference).
We'll create a thread as soon as there is any interest in a buddy read.

A list of all our past and present BOM and BR threads are listed on this spreadsheet

I reread this a few months ago, but I will happily dive in again. Have to brush up before the movie comes out, right?

[Alexw]

Brittany-great choice for a first book of 2021-please include me in all discussions-Thanks. Also agree with Jenny's post about reading before the movie comes out but I have not read Dune before-Lets Read !!

[Jenny]

Brittany, pick a start date and the mods will set up a thread for the buddy read!

[Brittany]

Wonderful! Glad to have some buddies along the ride with me!
How about starting the 1st of the month?
So tomorrow :) ??

Would anyone be interested in reading The Writhing By Abe Moss or one of any Abe Moss’s novels?? I was thinking of dividing the book into 2-4 sections, giving everyone 3-7 days per section depending on everyone schedule. Does that sound good? I am open to anything! I read his book Under The Wicked Moon and I really enjoyed it. I hear The Writhing is excellent but I would happily read any of his novels. Let me know! I hope to start reading and discussing with some of you soon! Happy Reading:-)

Can I please get a thread for Where the Wild Ladies Are for Jenny and me? (Others are welcome of course). Starting 1/9. Thank you!

Terribly sorry, Lynne, thought I had notifications on! I'm reading Middlemarch in another group in August now, but any of the others are fine. Since David Copperfield was your number 2, wanna do that one?

[Jenny]

Does the 12th sound good? It'll give me the time to get through The Name of the Rose and Persuasion.
