M and Beth, I just realized there is a buddy read planned for The Great Alone in July as well as your August one. I'm thinking of just adding both of you to that one and making it a 2-month read so you can all easily access other's thoughts.

Amitha, House of Eve is posted and you can jump in whenever!

June's Buddy Reads are posted!

You may now suggest/confirm books through September!

I have some new suggestions:

** Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder by Joanne Fluke (August, open to other months)

** Only in Your Dreams by Ellie K. Wilde (September, open to other months)

** Chain Letter & Chain Letter 2: The Ancient Evil by Christopher Pike (I thought since they're both so short we could do them in the same month but it's just a suggestion, I am open to separating them out or just doing the first book only. Suggesting for September but open to other months)

Hi, I would like to suggest Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus for September
