Welcome to August Buddy Picks

If you wish to have a buddy choose a book from your SBC bookshelf, please comment below with the amount of books you wish to have picked out for you.

I will pair you with your Buddy using Random.org on July 31 if enough have signed up by then.

Rules-ish:
You will need to create a shelf titled Stitchers Book Club TBR or SBC TBR on Goodreads. Put books on it that you can read in August.

Happy reading!

Sharon

Hi Jenny. You have a ton of shelves. Is there a particular one you want me to look at? I can’t find one for sbc.

Eden thank you for the giant SK pick. I have it on audiobook so it’s gonna be great.

Janice Boychuk (janice_boychuk) | 237 comments Eden since I’m working on Halloween chocolates and you’d like some fall reads, thought these would be appropriate!

Hi Jenny. I went to the website to check out your shelves as I realised that they are alphabetised and stopped at R on the app. Stupid phone.
Anyway I have found a book for you. It’s the highest rated in your list so I’m predicting a 4 or 5 star for you. Let me know how it goes xx

Thanks so much Sharon, if you loved it I'm even more excited to read it now! It'll be a library loan so I'll go and reserve it right now.

Tracey Allen at Carpe Librum (carpelibrum) | 1279 comments Hi Janice, I've chosen The Bookbinder by Pip Williams for you this month. I enjoyed The Dictionary of Lost Words and the author lives in Australia so I hope you enjoy it!

Really enjoyed this Jenny! Thought provoking, extremely well written. Not an easy read - much of the story is told in conversations written in the southern style, so I had to pay attention. And a sad topic, but I’m so glad I read this.


message 25: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (diggensjenny) | 140 comments Fantastic news, Sharon! I also enjoy the book that Bonnie picked for me!


message 26: by Janice (new)

Janice Boychuk (janice_boychuk) | 237 comments Really enjoying my buddy read The Bookbinder!! 50% done… my attention often wanes with a 14-hr listen; not with this one; the audiobook narrator is excellent.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I finished The Nature of Witches last month and it was good! I forgot to update! I am reading Vampire Academy now! I didn't get to it until after my September Buddy Pick, but it's good so far!
