[Elyse]

Does anyone have ? It's the sequel to . It publishes June 18. I'm looking to start it between June 5-10.

Dr. B wrote: "How about June 5th?"

Sounds good to me!

[Shruti morethanmylupus]

I thought we previously talked about this one, but I can't find the thread. Did someone have and want to buddy read?

I have it and would love to do a buddy read. Anytime in August works for me so pick what works for you.

[Dieuwke]

Hi - new here, am starting (okay, have started) Colours in her Hands by Alice Zorn. A protagonist with Down-Syndrome and a gift for colours/yarns.
Anyone reading this/want to read along?

[Kristie]

Welcome, Dieuwke! I don't have that one, but hopefully someone else will.

[Shruti morethanmylupus]

welcome, Dieuwke!

I do have this one but am behind on my buddy reads so I probably won’t get to it for a week or so at best unfortunately.

[Tasha]

Welcome, Dieuwke!

[Lilisa]

Good to see you here Dieuwke - welcome!

[Dieuwke]

Tx Lilisa! Oh and Shruti, I’ve already finished it. I’ve been talking to anyone old enough to listen about it - curious to read your opinion

[Elyse]

Anyone interested in buddy reading The Examiner towards mid to end of August? It publishes Sept 10.

[Vicki Willis]

I don't have that one Elyse.

But I do have The Second Mrs. Strom which I want to start the second half of July.
and
Framed: Astonishing True Stories of Wrongful Convictions which are stories of wrongly convicted people. It doesn't publish until October

[Shruti morethanmylupus]

I’d be up for a buddy read of the Hallett book, Elyse. I think Trisha has it too?

[Trisha]

- Theresa and I are reading this one together.

Thread is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Kristie]

That one sounds good. I would love to read it, but am leaving for a wedding in the morning, so definitely won't have time to participate. I may pick it up later though, if you both enjoy it.

[Kristie]

Did anyone else get The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife . It is currently read now. I have it if anyone wants to read it later in August, maybe after Here One Moment around the 25th?

[Shruti morethanmylupus]

i did, Kristie!

[Kristie]

Excellent, Shruti! Do you want to buddy read? Does Augus 25th or so work for you?

I'm a few buddy reads behind but feel free to start that day and I'll catch up with the thread when I can.

Ok. I started a thread here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I put the start date as Aug 25th, but we can always adjust it as needed.

Great, I created a thread! https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

When did you want to read it? I'm belatedly buddy reading By Any Other Name and on-time buddy reading The Full Moon Coffee Shop so I could realistically start probably Aug 17.

[Elyse]

I have Cross My Heart and Run. Pending the two Lisa Ungers.

[Shruti morethanmylupus]

I have cross my heart. The others are pending. Hopefully I'll manage to get caught up on buddy reads by December! 🙃

Beginning of Oct for Run would be good. And beginning of Dec for Cross My Heart. Don't want to tangle it up in the holidays.

[Kristie]

I'll be interested to see what you think of Run. I'll pop into the discussion. I just read it recently.

[Kristie]

Does anyone else have The Queens of Crime? I'm thinking about grabbing it. It is read now today. I really liked Marie Benedict's prior work.

[Elyse]

I grabbed it as well. I don't think I've read any of her books but I do own some. lol

[Shruti morethanmylupus]

I didn't grab it because I've only read one and didn't love it. Will be interested to see what you think.

[Kristie]

Which did you read by her, Shruti?

[Shruti morethanmylupus]

The Mystery of Mrs. Christie

[Kristie]

Shruti morethanmylupus wrote: "The Mystery of Mrs. Christie"

I was wondering if that was the one. I enjoyed it, but that was my least favorite book of hers so far. I've only read that one, The Other Einstein, and The Personal Librarian. The Agatha Christie connection in The Queens of Crime is what made me hesitate, but it does seem like a different kind of story.

[Kristie]

@Dr. B - It was good in some ways and not others. I was ready for it to be done when I finished it. I think I gave it 3 stars. It should be really good for a discussion.

[Kristie]

I added Run & Cross My Heart to the schedule.

[Elyse]

Anyone else get ? It publishes Oct 1.

[Kristie]

Elyse - I started a thread for The Queens of Crime. It doesn't publish until February, so I figured it would be a while before we start. Let me know if there is a better time for you. Thread is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Everyone is free to join us, of course.

Great!

[Kristie]

Hi Dr. B! I'm doing well, just busy taking care of my hubby after a knee surgery. I hope you are well too!

Unfortunately, I don't have any of those. I was declined for We All Live Here, but I entered a giveaway for it and if the audio is available before you read it I'll request that. Just not there yet.

It's been pretty quiet around here. I have a few widget offers I need to post to see if anyone has them.

[Trisha]

Hey hey!! I'm not sure about everyone else, but my request finger has been slowed and now silenced for the next 2 months! I'm working to try to get all my backlog of Netgalley done - not all all, but all of my oldest (about 50 books).
THEN I'll work on the next layer of oldest - so I'm out for just a bit longer on any buddy reads - once the new year starts, I'll be in!
