2024 Buddy Reads Sign-Up Thread

[bailey, Challenges]

I'm not sure if we've already decided to read Iron Flame in February but I know that I'm going to. So I guess I'd either like to join that buddy read or suggest it if it hasn't been brought up yet.

Thank you, SarahKat!!

I'd like to read Memoirs of a Geisha, but March and April work better for me than February.

Can we extend the IT buddy read into February & make it a 2 month read, please? It's a very long book and most of us need more time to complete it. TY!!

Heyhey,

I was a bit confused, but found out there are now two Michelle's ;). This book was suggested by the other Michelle.

I'm confirming the buddy read for all fall down (which is, as far as I know, the only one I was doing this month).
