2024 Buddy Reads Sign-Up Thread

[Beth]

I would like to join Rebecca for Elatsoe in June.

@Jen - Could you do The Fraud in July or Aug? I would like to read it, but June is pretty much full up for me now.

[Rebecca]

That looks correct to me, Sarah Kat.

I'll add Elatsoe to my list for this month, Beth. I'm excited about it because I read A Snake Falls to Earth earlier this year and wanted to go back and read this one :-)

[Jannene]

Mine is good.

I've never heard of it, and the book page and blurb completely intrigued me. Looking forward to reading it with you!

Sure! I'll be away for 10 days at the end of July/beginning of August and won't take the book with me.

Let’s do August then. Yay!

After 14 short months of watching buddy reads pass by because I was still waiting for it from the library, Remarkably Bright Creatures has finally arrived. Is there anyone left who hasn't read it yet and would like to in June?

[Jill]

Sign me up for The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, please! I just started a reread of Hitch Hiker’s today, so the timing’s perfect!

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

JUNE Buddy Reads are posted here!

You may now suggest/confirm books through September!

Jen, I'll keep an eye out and if someone confirms Remarkably Bright Creatures today I'll post it.

[Dominique]

@Sarahkat, I want to read Red Rising, can we do it in July?

[Beth]

SarahKat, would you please remove me from The Fraud in August? I realize I'm already overloaded and need to pull back a bit. Thanks!

[Beth]

I'm going to read Circe by Madeline Miller in September in case anyone wants to join me.

[Valerie]

Lorraine and I will be reading The Savage Detectives in September. Others are very welcome to join us.

This is actually September’s book for one of the reading circles I belong to so I’ll join you.

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Dominique, I have to read Red Rising in June for a challenge and I already got it from the library, so can't wait for July.

If you want to read the rest of the series starting in August (assuming we like the first one), we can catch up then?
