I don't see The Bullet That Missed, Thursday Murder Club #3 for May. Guessing it just got overlooked? (We had a buddy read for book 1 in March and book 2 in April).

Also, would you please add The Last Devil to Die (series book 4) to June?

Thanks so much!

Beth, I'd love to read the next two books in May and June or June and July, but I don't think that the whole series was ever actually confirmed.

[Caterina]

Sorry to ask this after May has been confirmed, but would it be possible to extend Bloodlands another month? It's a heavy read and neither Rebecca nor I are very far along. It is a very enlightning and well researched book, and we do want to continue.

You are probably right, Rebecca. I’m sure it’s my confusion.

I am going to read the last two in May and June whether there’s a buddy read or not. Join me! :)

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Beth, The Beekeeper of Aleppo is scheduled for August (I added you)

The Thursday Murder Club series hadn't been confirmed but I should have checked this month's thread to ask. I will add the third book to May's thread now.

Caterina, yes I'll get Bloodlands moved.

Me and Lorraine are going to read the second Washington Poe book in June. The book in question is Black Summer. Others are welcome to join of course.

I'm interested to buddy read the whole series during the upcoming months, but the primary books only. I think there are five out and the 6th one is coming out this year.

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

All added. Inkeri, if at least one other person is planning to read the rest of the series with you I'll add it as confirmed so you don't have to come back and as for the next book each month. Just let me know!

Sarah, I’m in for the Poe series! So count that as a go.

[Jen]

Would anyone be up for reading Fourth Wing in June? I know it was a buddy read like 6 months ago, but I've been waiting for it from the library since last November. It has to go back, so it can't wait.
