NetGalley Buddy Readers discussion

Oh bummer, Tasha! Did you get The Maid?

I didn't request at NG but I'll see if it's still available. I did enter the GRs giveaway but that's a small chance of winning.

ok, just requested The Maid so I'll let you know if I get it.

Good luck!

thanks!

I got it, lol! I'll join you guys in that read. :)

Excellent! I'm planning to read it in November. Is there a better for you during the month? I was thinking maybe around mid-month, but I'm not locked in to a time.

Here are the links to all the upcoming discussions we've recently added:

November:
The Maid - date TBD

December:
Reckless Girls - Dec 1
The Last House on the Street - Dec 10

January:
Under Lock & Skeleton Key - date TBD

Works for me.

I have Somebody's Home that publishes Jan. 18.
I am thinking I want to read it in the middle of December.
Anyone else interested?
I have only read one other by this author, but I loved it and I have several others of hers on my TBR.

I don't have that one, Vicki. I'll be interested to see what you think of it. I've only read one book by her and I DNF it at 47%, so I won't be requesting this one. I do have a couple of her books on my TBR if I want to try something else by her, but it probably won't be through NG. I hope someone else reads it with you though.

Hi Vicki. I'm in the UK so sometimes I don't have access to the same books as you guys in the US do (and vice versa). Had a look for this one and I can't access but hopefully get a Buddy Read with you soon

Thanks for checking!

Does anyone have
Unmissing that publishes on Feb. 15? I would like to start it around January 29.

I have quite a few books on my TBR by this author, but I have never read her yet. This one seems VERY good to me though.

I don't have this one.

I don't have that one either. I'm like you with her books though, Vicki, I have a few on my TBR but I haven't read any yet.

I know some people have
The Golden Couple

It publishes on 3/8. Does anyone want to set a date in Feb for a buddy read?

I can join you, Vicki. :) I can start either around the 1st or the 20th, if that works for you. I have something else going mid-month.

I also have Sundial to read before March, if anyone is interested in buddy reading it.

Me!

Me!"

Yay! When would you like to start? I can do most any time except that mid-February (12-19) time.

Lets do the 20th for The Golden Couple

Perfect! :)

Link for The Golden Couple is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Also, I changed the date for Under Lock & Skeleton Key to Feb 1 in the schedule.

Great, I'm ready to go on Feb 1.

What about after The Golden Couple then?

Or earlier since I see the Golden Couple is actually the 20th. Whatever works for you, lmk.

Yes, I didn't realize there was another buddy read starting on the first. Would you be ready to read it next week maybe? We could start on the 24th. It's 304 pages. Would a week before your other buddy read be enough time?

It publishes March 1st

Yes, I can start next week. :)

Excellent! Thread is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I just realized we have no buddy reads planned for March! I have the following books to read:

I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys - already published, but I have a copy for review. I'm reading it with another buddy on March 4th. If anyone has this one and hasn't read it yet I'd be happy to set up a thread here too. :)

The Younger Wife by Sally Hepworth - I'm planning to start this one around the 12th, but that's flexible. Publishes April 5th.

The Bodyguard by Katherine Center - This one doesn't publish until July 19th, but I'm really hoping to read it the end of March. Maybe around the 25th? I could read it later if someone else has it and wants to buddy.

I also have The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn, but I'm planning to read it in April post-publication (publishes March 29th). I have a physical copy, but plan to listen to the audio. Again, if anyone wants to read it a little after publication I'd be happy to set up a buddy read thread.

I am in for The Younger Wife

I don't have any others that you have.


I have
Or Else
The New Neighbor
The Children on the Hill

Does anyone have these?

Excellent! Does March 12th work for you?

I don't have any of the three you listed, but I do have Stay Awake which I think you also have. It doesn't publish until August. Would you be be interested in buddying in a couple of months?

That date is good Kristie!
And I am open to anytime after April for Stay Awake

I don't have any of those. :)

Vicki Willis wrote: "That date is goods Kristie!

Excellent! I'll make a thread. :)

The Younger Wife is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Stay Awake is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I left the date as TBD, likely some time in May. We can decide when we want to start when it gets closer.

I'm so excited for the buddy reads we have coming up. I think we have some good reads planned.

Tasha! You should get one... no pressure. ;)

lol, I'll check them out. :)

Kristie wrote: "The Younger Wife is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/..."

Apparently, I've already requested this one and it's still pending. lol

Oh! I hope you get it. :)

Me too!

We have a buddy read coming up for Stay Awake and it is read now for 72 hours if anyone wants to join us!

Kristie wrote: "We have a buddy read coming up for Stay Awake and it is read now for 72 hours if anyone wants to join us!"

My request is still pending. 😭

Oh noooo.... I hate that you can't claim a read now if you have a request pending. That makes no sense to me.

I agree. :(

I know, it's so dumb! Or if you were denied and then it becomes a Read Now.
