2022 Buddy Read Sign Up Thread

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

I changed my mind and have withdrawn "On Beauty" from the suggestions.

Instead for the Ainsfield-Wolf Popsugar prompt, I'm going with Deacon King Kong and am suggesting it for August but open to other months.

[Sophia]

Anyone interested in reading Their Eyes Were Watching God in July (open to other months)?

If September recommendations are open, I would like to recommend the following:

Out, by Natsuo Kirino
Fiction, thriller, mystery/crime, cultural/Asia/Japan
Don't you have some people in your life that, when you are alone at night with your thoughts, you can't help but admit that life would be better if they were to just... die? A murder cover-up in the streets of Tokyo brings together unexpected characters, and forms bonds deeper than any words could every express.

Certain Dark Things, by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Fantasy/Urban fantasy, Horror, Vampires
Imagine being a lovely yet lonely garbage collector kid, minding your own business, and suddenly having a hottie vampire crashing all over it and dragging you in her "life" of crime. She is dangerous and cunning, but he is a crafty street-wise boy - who will end up protecting whom?

[Valerie]

I’ll join for Certain Dark Things in September. I’ve enjoyed several of her other books.

[D.L.]

Suggesting Where the Crawdads Sing for August though I'm open to other months, of course.
