I have it, I'll join you guys in the BR starting 10/31. I have enjoyed this author's other books so am glad to hear this one is being well-received!

[Trisha]

Elyse and I are adding a new buddy read:

on 12/1

our thread is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Kristie]

Added to the calendar :)

[Vicki Willis]

Wow! almost time to get the 2023 calendar going!
I am going to be using January as a catch up month. I am pretty sure I am going to carry over 2 books from 2022 that aren't going to be read in time.

I do have The Soulmate that publishes 4/4. I would like to read it the beginning of March.

And Where They Lie that publishes 4/14. I would like to read it the middle of March.

Anyone else have those?

Oddly, I have none that publish Feb or March so maybe I will pick up some read now?? Or maybe focus on GRCA books I want to read. We will see.

[Elyse]

Definitely up for buddy reading The Soulmate!

[Kristie]

I also have The Soulmate, but don't know when I'll be reading it just yet. It will have to be sometime in February or March, so the beginning might work. I need to get through the holidays then focus on working out a schedule.

I also have The Last Orphan (newest in the Orphan X series) publishing in February. Plus, The Ferryman and Hello Stranger the publish after those in May & July. I think we already have a thread for The Ferryman, but no set date yet.

We should start a thread for The Soulmate. :)

(Sorry, my linking isn't working.)

Thanks, Trisha. I'll add those to the schedule later today. I'm curios to see what you think of Many Are Invited. I received a widget for that one, but didn't accept it.

IMHO you chose well. it was not an enjoyable read for me in any way. I only gave it 1 star.

[Kristie]

Oh, that's bad, Shruti. I considered it, but the early ratings didn't seem great. I just saw that the overall rating has gotten pretty low, so it seems that most people felt the same way as you.

Did anyone pick up The Only Survivors by Megan Miranda

Looking for a start day around March 10ish

Tasha and TheReadingBell - How about 3/20 for Where They Lie ? I am going to make a thread for it now

[Kristie]

I did not get that one, Vicki. I don't think I even knew about it until just now. The only book I've ever read by her is All the Missing Girls, at least so far.

[Tasha]

Vicki, that sounds good for Where They Lie.

I've read Megan Miranda and have generally enjoyed her books. I'll go see if it's still available.

[Tasha]

Still available so I requested it. I'll let you know if I get it.

[Kristie]

Hi all - I think I have the schedule all updated to here. If I missed anything, let me know. :)

I started a new buddy request thread for 2023 here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... The threads don't tend to work properly when they get too long, so I figured I'd update it annually. Feel free to start using it to request buddies for next year. I'll close this one at the end of the year.

[Trisha]

- Theresa and I will start this one today

Thanks Kristie! Were we going to plan to buddy read ? I thought we talked about it on a thread somewhere but I can't find it now.

Yes we did for June/July.

[Kristie]

I remember that too, Shruti. I think we didn't choose a date or start a thread yet because it doesn't publish until August. I will link the book in the schedule though.

[Kristie]

Added them. :)

[Trisha]

Shruti and I are starting The Last Carolina Girl 12/28

[Kristie]

Wow! You really are trying to clear off that shelf before the end of the year! lol

[Kristie]

Updated! That one looks really good too. I look forward to seeing your thoughts on it.

[Shruti morethanmylupus]

My % is SO BAD right now. I’m trying to get through my list and get it back to 80%. It’s been hard too haha.

[Kristie]

It is so hard to get caught up once you fall behind!

[Tasha]

Good luck, Shruti!

[Trisha]

Shruti and I are reading starting 12/30

[Kristie]

Added to calendar. Thanks. :)

[Trisha]

Kristie, I have preordered

would you be open to starting the day after pub day (when I'll probably get my copy)?

if not, no worries, just thought I'd check!

[Kristie]

Sure, Trisha. I have a whole bunch that publish in January, so I can probably use the extra time anyway. :)
