Hi SarahKat. Can you extend All Systems Red into March please? Thank you

Luci, I assume you're open to March, April, or May for Little Women? I put it on April for now since March suggestions only have a few days left, but let me know if that needs changed.

I’d like to read Little Woman, open to March, April or May.

Hi. I'm new.

Could I please join "Cat and Mouse"
and "The Paris Vendetta" in March.

Also interested in reading on through both ALEX CROSS series and COTTON MALLONE series. I need to get back to them.

I'd also like to read Little Women but if possible, I'd prefer to read it in May since I'm tackling another big classic in April. However, I'll go with whatever the group decides.

Welcome to the group Cordelia :)

I would like to join "Wuthering Heights" in April.

Also join me up for "Rules of Prey". This is a series I dont know. If I like it I will carry on for the series.

To all my buddy read friends, I do not get the notifications for our buddy reads. Working on it. Sorry.send PM

The notification system seems to be not working except when the mods send out a message. You are not alone in having this problem. It is annoying!

Valerie, try completely signing out of Goodreads, then sign back in. Your profile says you were last active in October 2024. The sign out/sign in process should force a reset and, in the past, that was enough to fix the notifications breakdown. I don't know if it fixes the current issue, though.

Here's how to sign out:

Little Women in May works great for me! I have a busy April so was hoping someone would show up in time for March or wait until May, thank you guys :)

Thanks for the suggestion but it still says I was last active October 24 so I don’t think it worked.

Please sign me up in April for Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins

Thanks

The first and second time I tried, it did not worked. But Saturday I signed out for 12 hours and surprise! I started to receive notification on Sunday and it's now working.

SarahKat

Others are welcome to join.

Oh good grief I’ve done it again… forgot that I’d already put a book up for a buddy read. Nope, since we’re already set for April, let’s keep it there. I need to mark my TBR better! 😳
