How about June 12th? We can always move it if it takes longer for your library copy to come in.

I think it will take longer because I'm number 3, but that's fine with me. I can't always join in whenever I get it.

Celia Buell (semi hiatus) (celiareadsbooks) | 3944 comments Anyone want to read Annihilation (Southern Reach #1) by Jeff VanderMeer with me this week? I also just started The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson even though it's on the BR poll for June, I've been itching to reread it since getting the sequel for Christmas. Let me know for either or both of them. I'll probably start Annihilation (Southern Reach #1) by Jeff VanderMeer tomorrow.

Celia Buell (semi hiatus) (celiareadsbooks) | 3944 comments This week planning to read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and A Long Way Gone Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah if anyone wants to BR.

Also I've noticed that whenever I nominate How to Love a Country by Richard Blanco for BOTM it always gets a few votes but never enough to win. Anyone interested in reading? I'd love to get to this one soon (June or July)

Essentially, you just try to connect with one or more readers who want to read the book at the same time. Once you do, you can request a thread for you to discuss. You can complete buddy reads for fun or have them count for extra points if you participate in monthly or quarterly challenges. If you want them to count, you need to leave at least 4 comments regarding the book.
