Woud anyone like to read The Safekeep in November? It's currently short-listed for the Booker Prize. The winner will be announced on the 12th.

[Beth]

Rather than trying to post in each of my Buddy Read threads, I'll make a post here. My apologies for disappearing over the past few weeks. Life has pulled a complete 180 on me, and I suddenly find next-to-no time for reading. 😔 I have no idea what I was supposed to have read, what I've signed up for read for October; I just know my head is spinning. I'll figure it out and read what I can, but at this point, no promises!

Thanks for understanding!

So sorry to hear that Beth!

Do you want me to take you off some or all of your November buddy reads you're signed up for? I can private message you the list if that would help.

November Buddy Reads are up!

Happy reading!

2025's sign-up thread will be opening in a few days!

[Allison]

That’s fine! I’d be willing to read it next year if you are!

[Jannene]

@Ela, can you wait to read the inmate in December? Allison isn't sure she can get the book in time. Dom and I can wait for her.

[Ela (Mouse333)]

Yes, I’m fine with reading The Inmate in December

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Canceled Triptych

Since The Inmate is already posted I'll just change it to a 2-month read so it will move to the December folder next month.
