Thanks!

Michelle wrote: "Since I have a huge to-read list and am a bit behind on my reading challenge of this year, I'd like to suggest to following books as buddy reads:

October or November (open to both months): - Hide and Seek by M.J. Arlidge - #6 in the Helen Grace Series"

Dom and I are 2 books behind. I may be able to convince her to read book 4 this month and book 5 in October. Then we can read book 6 with you in November.

[Jannene]

Michelle, I spoke with Dom and we are in for November if that works for you.

[Michelle]

Hey Jannene,
That would be perfect! :) Yay! I'll put it in my list so I can get the copy from the library in time!

groovyzee, the suggestion for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was taken off so it isn't eligible to be confirmed. Do you want me to add it back on as a suggestion from you and wait for a second person to join you?
