I would like to do a buddy read for 
The Paper Palaceor
The Sweetness of WaterLooking to start in the middle of February sometime.
Anyone interested?
I'd love to read Paper Palace but I'm not sure I can do February. Maybe at the very end...? What do you think?Also I'd like to do a buddy read for I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys
. I think I read all her books (except maybe one) with this group...

Savanes, I can push back to March. Lets touch base closer to the end of Feb.

March 4th? or 18th?
Mod
Vicki - let us know if one of the dates works for you.
Both of those work for me. So put it where ever it fits best with all the other buddy reads!
Ok let's do March 4th : I must betray you March 18th : the paper palace. :)
I'll open the threads later today...
I can't seem to open the thread for Paper palace. I'll try again tomorrow...
I didn’t even have Rabbits on my tbr, and now I feel compelled to read it because it’s too weird of a coincidence for me. This will sound so crazy, I know. But since I was 24, I see the number 444 everywhere. And, why not make it a little weirder, I even have a tattoo on my shoulder of a rabbit with a pocket watch that says 444 … so yeah, count me in on that one.
Do you have a date that would work for you Vanessa? Do you want to start later this month? Or we can push to the beginning of April?
Beginning of April would probably work better if that’s alright with you. :)
Maybe around April 4th? Would that work for you?
Ha! Yes, 4/4 is great. It will go with your theme.I will set up a thread so others can join us if they want.

Kristie, can you add to the calendar so others can join if they want?
Mod
Done!

From the blurb...
"...With a shock, you realize it is April 4th—4/4..."
LOL I didn’t realize that until after you pointed it out, but that works too! Looking forward to it :)
Mod
Hey Kristie, I’ll be happy to read the honey bus with you.

A "buddy read" is when one or more persons agree to read a book with you, that isn't a scheduled group book of the month (and therefore not run by one of the group moderators - we however may join in with a buddy read)
The rules: You just need one other member to read the book with you. Then it's up to you to decide when and how. There are no restrictions on dates, how long it takes to read, or on how you discuss the book (you can have a set schedule, you can discuss as you read or you can discuss at the end). It's all up to you! The only requirement is to use spoiler tags as needed so that other people don't accidentally read something before they're ready to.
What to do
Comment below which book you'd like to read and if someone(s) wants to join you, work out when you'd like to start.
