2026 Reading Challenge discussion

This thread is to discuss Time Off for Good Behavior by Lani Diane Rich.

Pages: 256 pages

Length: 1 month (June)

Participants: LinaVer, Susan

Everyone reads at their own pace during a Buddy Read. Because participants can be at different parts of the book at different times, it is extremely important to mark spoilers so that the book is not ruined for someone who is not as far along as others!!!

Mark spoilers by placing {spoiler} before the text and {/spoiler} after the text but use the < and > instead of the { and }.

Here are some questions to help get the conversation started! Feel free to look up discussion questions specific to this book or come up with your own. Just make sure any questions that contain spoilers are under spoiler tags.
Discussion questions are not required but may be a fun way to talk about the book and get to know each other!

Prior to starting:
What prompted you to join this buddy read?
Have you read this author before? What do you think of their other books?

Mid-read:
What character or ideas do you relate to the most and why?
Do you have any favorite quotes or scenes?

After reading:
What was enjoyable or not-so-enjoyable about this book?
Did this book change your perception about anything, either within the book (character development) or in real life?

LinaVer how did you find this book? My library doesn't have it.

Hi Susan, my library has an ebook available. I'm sorry to hear your library does not have it! I don't know if you ever use it as it is a dubious source, but I've checked now and the internet archive library has a copy you can borrow. The downside is you then have to read it in the browser.
Otherwise, we cancel this buddy read, I don't mind. You'd then just need to choose another book from the RITA/Vivian award to fill out your jewel for the Q2 challenge.

I should've followed up! I did find it on Amazon Unlimited, so I have it! No need to cancel this, I'll get it read.
