you have until the 4th of July to signup, then I will announce the partners the next day!

We will have a threesome this month with the partners being Holly, Janessa, and Pamela!

Yay! What are we reading, ladies?

It looks like all three of us have "In the Woods" by Tana French on our "To Read" list … should we try that?

Holly and I both have Douglas Preston's "Relic" and "Reliquary" books, which are the first two in Preston's Pendergast series.

Or if you have something else, I'm open.

Also, I've never done a buddy reads, so can one of you explain how this will work?

Basically we chose a book we all have on our to be read shelves, then once we have picked which one we would like to read I will make up a discussion thread for us to talk about the book together. And Into The Woods sounds good to him, unless you too find another book we all share to read. I'm game for anything!

Sounds good. Thanks for the clarification.

I don't have a copy of In the Woods......

Do you have an alternative book? I picked that out of our "To Read" lists but if you have something else you would like to start, please suggest it.

I would love to join so that you guys won't have to have a threesome

I haven't got a clue what book I have in mind but I have a ton of books on my to read list that I already own.

How about Inferno? I own a copy of that one.

Since we now have a fourth person thanks you Heather! The partners will be:
Holly and Pamela
Heather and Janessa
Please talk among yourselves either here or by personal message, then let me know which book you have chosen and I will make up a discussion thread for you!

Cool, thanks Janessa.
So, I packed all of my books because we're moving.......I only have a few left out. :/

Maybe just let Pamela know which ones you have out and then decide from there.

That's a good idea. I hope she'll be able to get one of them.....

Thanks again Janessa!!

If you have Dan Brown's "Inferno," we can read that.

I do have a copy of it, but unfortunately, I have it packed away now. :(

These are the books I still have out:
Watch Your Back
Afraid of the Dark: The True Story of a Reckless Husband, his Stunning Wife, and the Murder that Shattered a Family
Outlander (Starz Tie-in Edition): A Novel
The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair
Due Diligence: A Thriller
The Cypress House
The Hidden Ones

I don't have any of these books (most are not really my cup of tea) but I can purchase "The Cypress House" via my Kindle.

I'm in the middle of another book but can probably begin this after Tuesday. I noticed that you have a number of books going currently. When do you think that you could get started reading this?

Also, should we check in with each other by chapter or major event in the story?

Sounds good. I can start whenever. Whatever you want to do is cool with me.

Holly and Pamela is "The Cypress House" what plan on reading?

One advise is to compare books with each other and find ones that you both have marked as "to read" that might help as well

Thank you, Janessa, for all your help. As Holly has "The Cypress House," we'll read that.

Have you started the novel already, Pamela?

I've got just a few more pages to read in the book I've been reading and then I can get started on it. How about yourself?

(We also probably should use the page Janessa created for us …)

I'll probably start it either tonight or tomorrow.

Oh, okay. I didn't know she started a page.
