I thought it was funny cute but I can also make nearly ones 😃
Hi all! I tried reading House of Leaves a few months back, but set it aside because I found it overwhelming. Would anyone want to read it along with me? I saw that there was a group read here in 2017. Do I just reply to that?

Latasha wrote: "I would love to read Mexican Gothic. Let me see how long my wait is or if I can find it somewhere."Yeah, I have an estimated 14-week wait, 0 copies of 173 copies!! Must be popular! But, I'm on the list. Will look around at other places.
Ok. I was in a wait list too but it came in yesterday.
Latasha wrote: "i got The Haunting of Maddy Clare audio book from the library. if anyone wants to read or listen with me in the next couple of weeks, i'll wait."I've been wanting to read that one but sadly I'm still waiting on the hold list. I'm next in line so I hope I get it soon but I don't want to hold you up from reading it.

i can wait a week or so to see if you get it.
If you guys decide to read Maddy Clare I'd love to jump in. I've wanted to read that for a while.
Latasha wrote: "i can wait a week or so to see if you get it ."Okay, thank you for waiting. I would say If I don't get it in the next couple of days you and anyone else wanting to read it should go ahead.
Ok how about we set it up for the 21st? That’s over a week away.

Katy, did you get it yet?
Would anyone be interested in a BR for Home Before Dark or If It Bleeds?I just picked them up from the library and was planning to read them sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Yes for If It Bleeds.😊

There's a copy in the library where I work, so I just have to double check to see if it's available. If it isn't, I'll just buy it. 😊

That sounds amazing! I'm not in any hurry if you want to wait till you can get a copy. The other book is a library book but I borrowed If It Bleeds from a friend who already read it so I can start it at any time.

Yes, I count my blessings every day that I get paid to be around books all day.😊❤ I am off tomorrow, so I'll let you know my status mid-week.👍

Okay, Sounds good. 😊
Would anyone be interested in a buddy read of a haunted house story for October?
I've read it before but I'm going to read it again! Very imaginative and diverse.

Hi Katie! I have a copy of If It Bleeds, so whenever you are interested in reading it, I'm game.😊

I can start anytime! I will likely be reading slow since I'm reading a few other books but I've been wanting to get this one in. What works for you two?

I'll make a buddy read for us all and hopefully more will join. This is a popular and hopefully great book to get too! :D

Same here, I won't get my copy soon. I ordered it a while ago but there seem to be some issues.
I wish my library had more books/ebooks in English and also more current ones. They never get new releases and the newest English one they have is some YA book from 2018, lol.
I guess mid-September will work fine.
