I will join you in September to finish the series with Book 3 The Book of Life. I read Book 2 last month.

[Trisha]

Everyone’s added!

The links need to be updated though. Didn’t have my laptop handy and updating things on my iPad is slow work. I’ll recheck & update everything once I have my laptop.

All Souls Trilogy is confirmed. Book #3 will be added when we open nominations for September.

Raven Black and The Retreat are confirmed for July and August respectively.

Updated through here.

I would like to join in for A Game of Thrones please. I'm new to this group and Goodreads for that matter and would like to have some fun!
This would be a reread for me, but it has been some years ago that I read them. I saw in another thread that the whole series is being suggested? I have the first 4 books, but I would need to read the 1st book again, if the group starts on the 2nd. Please let me know. Thank you!

I would like to join The Pillars of the Earth read for June please :)

[Patricia]

Hi. I would like to suggest buddy read the book Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman this August. Thank you!
Can I ask something? What If I suggest something. For example, I suggest Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine to buddy read in August. What if no one joined me buddy read Eleanor Oliphant. Is the book still confirmed or canceled?

[Lorraine]

Hello. Can you add House of Sky and Breath by Sarah J. Mass , second book in the Crescent City series to July buddy read ? Caterina and I will read it. Others are welcome to join us. Thanks

Since the thread is already live, you can jump right into it here and start talking about it. :)

[Trisha]

Patricia wrote: "Hi. I would like to suggest buddy read the book Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine..."

Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine added to the August suggestions.

Patricia, yes, if no one commits to reading the book with you, the buddy read suggestion would be cancelled. However, if you're open to reading it in months other than August, you could let us know here and we could put a note in the spreadsheet. That way, if someone shows interest in another month, we can set up the thread for you.

For more information on how buddy reads work, please go through the first two posts of this thread. Let us know if you have any questions. :)

[Trisha]

House of Sky and Breath is confirmed for July.
