Buddy Read Requests

[Cynda]

Thank you Luffy and Kimberly.
I will request a buddy read thread.

[Cynda]

Sara would you please set up a September buddy thread for for The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende?

[Sara, Old School Classics]

I will add it to the schedule for September.

[Sara, Old School Classics]

I just realized I had not set up a thread for the Emily Dickinson read, is that still taking place?

[Cynda]

I don't think so Sara. Thanks for asking.

[Cynda]

And thanks about the new thread for The House of Spirits.

[Sara, Old School Classics]

Thank you, Cynda. I will take the Dickinsons off the schedule.

[Savita]

Most welcome! Looking forward to the read next month .

Thanks Savita for asking about this. Sorry if I missed any replies from you, i will probably find them at some point.

And Sara thanks for setting it up.

And Anshika- Yay! Its gonna be a full party! 😅👍

[Savita]

@ April : Welcome ! 😊

[CJ]

I'll join for Bradbury. Another group I'm in wants to read it so this aligns well for me. And I have a copy so I can start any time (I'm still waiting on my library hold for Sweet Thursday, which is why I didn't participate in that BR).

[Savita]

CJ , most welcome! We'll be starting on 10th of September . Meet you there 😊

[Cynda]

I will comment and discuss the Bradbury as I read alone earlier this year.

[Savita]

Oh , how nice , Cynda ! Most welcome 😊

Thanks, Kimberly. I haven't read anything by Isabel Allende so looking forward to reading my first work of her.

[Cynda]

Oh good! We are having a good turn out for The House of the Spirits :)

[Sara, Old School Classics]

I have set up the threads for The House of the Spirits and Fahrenheit 451. Both are previous Group Read threads.

[Sara, Old School Classics]

Would others be interested in reading New Grub Street by George Gissing? I am open for November or December.

[Terris]

Yes, I'd be interested in New Grub Street. I've been meaning to read something by Gissing. November would be good for me. I think I'd better keep December open for any left-overs that I need to finish ;)

[Janelle]

I’d like to join in too. Either month should be fine for me :)

I would love to join. I will try my best to complete the buddy read without DNFing in case I don't like the book. 500+ pages is a commitment to me.

[Sara, Old School Classics]

Great! I will put it on the schedule for November.

[Darren]

I have New Grub Street penciled in for 2026 but will try to clear space for it in my hectic schedule for the rest of this year so as to bring it forward ;o)
