Charlotte,
Valerie and I would like to join you on Mistborn. I was just wandering if October could work for you? If not, than will make it September.

I also wanted to join Mistborn but didn’t say anything because I cannot do September. If plans change to October, count me in 😃

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

If we don't hear back from Charlotte before I get all the September threads up, I can just put Mistborn on for September and make it a 2-month read through October.

Also, Marie, you don't *have* to confirm your reads when I post that. I just do it in case anyone forgets they've signed up or if they want to join before the threads go up, and to make sure I haven't missed anything.

Great idea SarahKat!

[Valerie]

Perfect SarahKat!

SEPTEMBER BUDDY READS ARE POSTED HERE!

You may now suggest books through December!

[Susan, Games & Events]

I would like to suggest The Frozen River for December.

[Vicki]

I would like to SECOND Susan's suggestion. That book is SO GOOD! (Not even sure that's allowed but it is an excellent book!)

[Cordelia]

I would also like to read "The Frozen River" in December

[Dominique]

L'm in for The Frozen River

[Allison]

Dominique wrote: "L'm in for The Frozen River"

Me too.

[Beth]

Ooooh, you will love Frozen River, I have no doubt. I was completely fascinated by it.

And OMG, there are 5 books from July I never got to. Boo. Ah well, that's what happens when I sign up for too many things!

[Beth]

Sarah, I would love to read We Need to Talk About Kevin with you! Still want to do Sept, or would you rather move to Oct? I'm good either way.

And I'd love to read Red Dragon with Kay-Mika next month.

Since today is the 25th, if I'm too late, I completely understand.

I've been away from GR except for very specific things lately, so am behind in signing up for all the things.

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

Beth, I will add those since you got your request in by the 25th!

Updated

[Beth]

Thank you! I sure cut it close!

Hey guys! Sorry for not getting back to you about the Mistborn buddy read, I am free either September or October to do it, so whatever works best for you guys! Also a two month read also works for me!

[Lorraine]

Hello SarahKat
Valerie and I will be reading The Meiji Guillotine Murders by Fūtarō Yamada in December.

Others are welcome to join
thanks

[Amitha]

I would like to suggest The Alice Network by Kate Quinn for December

[Victoria]

I’ll join the Alice network, all good for December

[SarahKat, Buddy Reads]

I will also join The Alice Network

Updated

[Beth]

Sarah, would you please drop me from the Cotton Malone series going forward? Ten books is enough for me. Thanks!

[Charlotte]

I'd like to suggest That's Not My Name, One of Us Is Lying, The Library, We All Fall Down, and A Darker Shade of Magic. I'm flexible about when I read them, so really any month works for me.

[Charlotte]

And I'd like to join for Throne of Glass in October :-)

[Valerie]

I will join Charlotte for A Darker Shade of Magic if it’s for December.
