Audiophile Archives  | 1289 comments LOL, in my mind, I'm going to nickname our group Macbeth's Megans!

"Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and caldron bubble”

Audiophile Archives  | 1289 comments Howdy Blitzers...anyone want to dive into How to Kill a Witch: The Patriarchy's Guide to Silencing Women with me, for the "Cover is mostly orange" prompt AND a buddy read bump? I can start as soon as tomorrow.

I know we're still about 3 weeks away from November, but I remember that there's an active Buddy Read [https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...] with an 11-year-old character if anyone wants to plan ahead.

Also, I found this that could help us: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

I saw that but with no activity since August, I knew the MOD would shut down the use without a buddy. It's happened to me before. But I'll be reading an Hercule Poirot mystery soon for points.
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Is there a title (doesn't have to be Hercule) you/anybody wants to buddy read? Let me know and I'll see if I can get it from libby. I'll be starting these soon:
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak The Pirate Queen by Ariel Lawhon

10/15 UPDATE:
The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak The Pirate Queen by Ariel Lawhon Eating Ashes by Brenda Navarro

Fair enough... I'm sorry my copy didn't come in sooner so we could read it together


message 26: by Megan (new)

Megan | 2343 comments Oh I would have buddy read for Fury Bound..

Laura let me know when your copy is due in and we can get the thread reopened?
