The only problem with Adam’s books are they are so huge. They usually go fast but that just so daunting right now.

Oh my giddy aunt, I remember reading Saul many MANY moons ago but now I feel like I'm missing out on something, you guys have SO MANY of his books!!
Check your library, Melanie! I used to have several of the paperbacks but I either got rid of them like a twat or they are packed away 🤔. But my library has sooooo many 😃
Is anyone interested in reading Malorie by Josh Malerman and/or The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones in August?:)
I just decided that I was excited enough about The Only Good Indians to preorder it, so I would be interested in buddy reading it.

That's cool, Vanessa and Lisa!
When do you want to start reading? I preordered but am not sure when the book will arrive, I guess it will be a bit later than usual. But I should be able to start in August

I'm in for Malorie too!😊"
Yess, that's great :)
When do you want to start? Same as in my post above: I am not sure when my copy will arrive. Just let me know, when you want to start and I'll see if the book is there 🙈

It won't be released until 7/21, so once we all get it, we can just check back in with each other.💁🏼♀️😊

Holy smokes! I might be tempted to do this BR as well. hahaha
I really want to read this one. I'll look for the BR on HA and see if I can join.

Feli wrote: "Is anyone interested in reading Malorie by Josh Malerman Feli, I tried to preorder the Kindle version of Malorie but it did not work 😤 Hopefully I will be able to get the Kindle version on the release date (21 July?)
That great.I will make threads for both BRs later and we can see there when to start.
Oh no, Marie Helene, why couldn't you preorder it? I hope it will work later.
If m copies won't arrive in time I may just check the Kindle version, too
Everything sorted with Malorie now 😀Silly me, you cannot preorder on Amazon with a gift card. It makes sense ... when you think about it afterwards 🙄
Yes, join us, Melissa! That would be great! :)Haha, that happened to me too some time ago. You are not alone there, Marie 😂
Here are the threads to both BRs :)

Anyone want to do a quick BR for Forest of Bones: A Short Winter Horror Story
It's currently free and it's only about 50 pages. I am currently free. 7/25/20https://www.amazon.com/Forest-Bones-S...
I'm planning on reading The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires during August, anyone up for Buddy Reading it? :)
Oh Krystal. That one is so good! I got it when it came out and devoured it in 3 days!😭😭I really did try to make it last longer.
Latasha wrote: "Oh Krystal. That one is so good!

most of the time, we all read at our own pace. Just use spoiler tags and you should be ok. i haven't ever done any here that says read this many pages per day and that's it. i'm not saying it doesn't happen, just that i've never came across it.
