August is Ghost Month in many Asian cultures, at least according to the solar calendar.
Would anyone be interested in reading the book below in August?

The Ghost Bride
Month: August preferably, but also open to September

Sorry for posting so late! It's probably too late to get anyone else interested, but I'd completely forgotten about this until just now. *sighs

I will join Oshizu for the Ghost Bride. Thanks

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Lorraine, do you want to read Ghost Bride in August? If so I'll make a thread since it was confirmed yesterday.

I am out of town this week and don't have access to the spreadsheet to add things, but myself (or Trisha) will get to it as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance!

Quite obviously, I neglected to signup for these August buddy reads:
White Nights (Shetland Island series)
When Will There Be Good News? (Jackson Brodie series)
**We would also like to extend these monthly buddy reads to include all books published in both series thus far. The same goes for the Vera Stanhope series by Cleeves. So all 3 of these series should be confirmed. And THANK YOU!

In addition, in case you need to know, I am planning to participate in the August buddy read of Last Call at the Nightingale.

I would have joined oshizu and Lorraine in reading The Ghost Bride, but I simply can't fit another one in for this month! LOL

I would like to join the September buddy read of Dumplin', too, please!

October buddy reads I would like to join:
If Beale Street Could Talk
Carrie Soto Is Back by one of my new all-time favorite authors Taylor Jenkins Reid!

[Kristy]

I would like to be added to both Ann Cleeves series - Vera Stanhope and Shetland Island. Thanks!

[Caterina]

I would love to join If Beale Street Could Talk and
Carrie Soto Is Back in October.

I am also wondering if someone would be interesting in reading The 1619 Project with me?

Thank you!

[oshizu]

Dear Buddy Read moderators,

Going forward, I would like to continue with the following series:
*Jackson Brodie (Kate Atkinson): Book 4 (Sep) onward
*Vera Stanhope (Ann Cleeves): Book 4 (Sep) onward

Please remove me from the series below:
Shetland Island Mystery (Ann Cleeves)

Regarding Jackson Brodie, may I nominate the rest of the series now?
Sep: Started Early, Took My Dog
Oct: Big Sky

Thank you!

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Lynn, as you know you can jump in to this month's discussions without your name being on them, but you are added to the all of the upcoming reads you requested.

Shetland Island, Vera Stanhope, and Jackson Brodie have all been added through the end of the year. Unless told otherwise, I've left the participant list as it stands (oshizu, you are removed from Shetland, Lynn, you are added to Shetland and Brodie).

Caterina, which month did you want to suggest The 1619 Project? I have not yet added this to the spreadsheet.

Updated!

[Lorraine]

Hello.
Oshizu and I will be reading Some Prefer Nettles by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki in October. Anyone interested in reading it with us is welcome!

I would also like to suggest reading The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo in October.

Thanks

Gabriela, unfortunately it is too late to suggest books for August as all of the threads are posted a few days before the month starts. At this time you can suggest books for September, October, or November.

Sunny, I have you on Jackson Brodie and Vera Stanhope but I have removed you from Shetland.

[TerryJane, Challenges]

For September, I would like to suggest I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys.

Not open to other months, as I am reading this one for a Q3 challenge and both September challenges.
