NetGalley Buddy Readers discussion

Is there a book you'd like to buddy read? Make a request here, then set up a thread to discuss.

This is what I have for current and upcoming buddy reads:

January:
It Could Have Been Her - Jan 9
Keeper of Lost Children - Jan 13

February:
Daughter of Egypt - Feb 1

March:
Mad Mabel - date TBD

Let me know if anything else is missing.

Looking to pin down a date-ish for Mad Mabel: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Great do you want to start this Thursday?

.... I am restricting myself from this thread until I clear my backlog. You guys are so tempting!

😂 So sorry!

I also have Without a Clue by Melissa Ferguson. The ebook and audiobook are READ NOW. It publishes Feb 17. I've read 2 of her other books and liked them.

And Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke is READ NOW for a week. It publishes Apr 7. I read on IG that it's already going to be a movie starring Anne Hathaway.

I was thinking about grabbing Yesteryear. It looks good!

I’ll have to look. I’m behind too and haven’t let myself look at NG!

I know that feeling! I went and updated my bio on NetGalley and I have my kids on there since I usually request a lot of kids books, and I was tearing up as I updated their ages and reading levels. They're getting so big!

I grabbed this one if anyone wants to buddy read!

Oh my gosh, Elyse! I can't believe it's been two years already! Happy birthday!

Happy birthday to your hubby too, Trisha! My hubby's bday is Saturday.

I have Yesteryear which is currently read now if anyone wants to buddy read. It doesn't publish until April, so maybe March?

I would, please! I'm flexible on timing.

Excellent! I'll start a thread. :)
