2023 Buddy Read Sign Up Thread

[Kristy]

I'd like to join Murder on Black Swan Lane in August.

[Beth]

I'm currently reading Demon Copperhead, and I think I'd like to read David Copperfield as a follow-up.

Anyone interested in joining me in Mr. Copperfield's adventures? I'd be good to start in July.

I would like to sign up for Jane Eyre and the Virgin Suicides for July, please.
I would also like to suggest Cloud Cuckoo Land and Beautiful World, Where Are You for July (but both August and September would work, too, if July doesn't work for whoever wants to join) and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time for August (but September (or even July), works too).

Lorraine, you won't need to post the books for Sigma Force again. I now have the entire series confirmed so I will add each book in the main series every month. Just let me know if anything changes, like if you take a month off or something.

JULY BUDDY READS ARE POSTED HERE!

You may now suggest/confirm buddy reads through October!!

I did finish posting a day early so you still have the whole day tomorrow to join any suggested reads for July and I will post them :)

[Surabhi]

Hello all ! would anyone like to join me for The Woman Destroyed by Simone De Beauvoir??

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

What month are you interested in reading this Surabhi? I will add it to the spreadsheet when I hear back on that.

[Lina]

SarahKat, I would like to again suggest Beautiful World, Where Are You by Sally Rooney, this time for August (or September, if that works better for whoever wants to join).
Surabhi, depending on when you want to read it I would definitely join (for The Woman Destroyed). Coincidentally, I just bought the book last week.

I would also like to join The Alloy of Law for August; I have read it before, but it was a while ago and I want to read 4 and 5 again before reading part 6.

Thanks!

[Surabhi]

Hi Sarah,
I am open to reading The Woman Destroyed in August or September.
Hi Lina! If you are good to read it in August, it would be great. In case it is not possible, I am open to reading it in September.
Let me know :)

[Lina]

August should work for me! Looking forward to it! :)

[Lorraine]

SarahKat, can you extend The Crooked Kingdom to July? A few of us won’t have finished in June. Thanks a lot!

[Surabhi]

Lina, thanks for your confirmation!
Sarah, could you please add The Woman Destroyed in August Buddy Reads?
Thanks :)

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

All updated!

Lina, did you want to be added to #5 in September as well?

Updated

[Lina]

Yes, that would be great, thanks! :)
