Tamara, like Library said, it's easier on the computer. The first few posts in this thread (here) have instructions on how it works. Scroll through some of the thread to see how others suggest and confirm buddy reads. It doesn't take too long.

[Thieryn]

Is it possible to join Chantal on Boy's Life for September? Or are all the September reads posted and done for now?

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

September confirmations are closed, but the notes say Chantal was open to October as well. If both of you want to read it then, I can confirm it for October.

[Thieryn]

I am ok for Boy's Life for November, rather than October. Hope that works?

And if D.L. is open to start in October, I would be down to start Pines/the Wayward Pines series.

I would also like to join the following for October: The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, The Travelling Cat Chronicles, The Halloween Tree, The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, and The Wild Hunt.

And the Book Eaters in November.

And also for October, I would like to recommend Brother, by Ania Ahlborn. Horror/Thriller about missing girls in the Appalachian trail, love the author and the premise, and I am really looking forward to some amazing nature descriptions.

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Waiting to hear from Chantal and D.L. about moving those books to other months.

You're added to all other requests and Brother is added to suggestions.

[Alaina]

Is anyone interested in reading “How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accent” by Julia Alvarez for October. I’m also open to others months.
