Kimberly (kimberly_3238) | 7707 comments Since we have an overwhelming number of members who want to read GHOST STORY as a group read in December, I've decided to set up a group "Buddy Read" for it. This will work the same as the usual monthly Group Reads. "Technical" start date will be December 1, 2019. As usual, if anyone wants to start earlier, that is fine--please follow the Group Read guide lines.
Please use spoiler tags and percentages/chapter/page numbers when applicable.

Have fun!!

Chris House | 3 comments Sweeeet! I just started McCammon's Gone South, but I'll be sure to finish it before December 1 (I'm a "one book at a time" person). Super stoked for Ghost Story.

There were so many nominations already, that I'd hoped this would work out well for those that really wanted to read it as a group. :)

I did check the list of books read because I wanted to nominate it but I was pretty sure it had been read before.

I nominated it in another group!

Jen I may join in. I've been wanting to re-read this for a while now. I believe I first read it over 15 years ago so I need to re-visit.

Atlanta (dark_leo) | 271 comments I’m in, I started it for a Facebook group months ago if not a year ago and I’m ready to finish it.

There is a lot of interest for it in the December reads, so I hope we see a lot of people joining in!!


Vickie (bookfan4ever) It's been on my list as well, so if I can fit it in, I will.😊

Meli (melihooker) | 105 comments Wasn't there a group read for this back in October?
I missed it that time around, so we will see if I can fit it in this time!

Yes, it was October 2018, so "technically" it could be nominated. But the buddy read section seemed a better way to go for this one.

Lisa | 629 comments This is a good one. I read it not too long ago, so I might just lurk and participate in discussion :)


Rachel Boni (midnightcreepreads) | 41 comments This is one of my favorites. I’m looking forward to reading with everyone. I think it’s wild and wonderful it got so much love!


Scarlett O.H. | 2 comments Has anybody started reading this yet? I don't see any new comments, or should I look somewhere else?


message 16: by Atlanta (new) - added it

Atlanta (dark_leo) | 271 comments I’m reading it, I started it with a Facebook group, I’m about 64% through and underwhelmed. It’s possible I may not like Peter straub as I didn’t like the talisman either. Anyways that’s why I was asking about discussion questions.


Nancy (paper_addict) | 812 comments I’m starting this tonight.
