2025 Buddy Reads Sign-up Thread

[Cordelia]

I'm quite happy to leave the Charlie Parker and Cotton Mallone series. I will continue to read them on my own and at my own pace.

[Beth]

We've got a buddy read going on this month for Grady Hendrix's Witchcraft for Wayward Girls. Anyone interested in joining me for another of his books The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires in Nov or Dec?

I'd be interested, can I get back to you on when I can get a library hold for it?

[Beth]

Of course!

[Susan, Games & Events]

I'd like to suggest The Mad Wife for December. The wait list is quite long for this one...

[Susan, Games & Events]

I'd like to join The Library with Charlotte

[Beth]

I'll join for The Mad Wife. Just put the book on hold through Libby... says it's a 10-week wait.
