I want to read some books by Erdrich in future, but never started one. Can it be read as a stand-alone? And when do you plan the read?

Me, too Michaela!

Lynn, please count me in for the buddy read of Tracks. I can read in January.

Brina, Jesus, Nidhi, and hopefully others will be reading Waiting for the Barbarians in January. Please add to the schedule. Thanks!

I'm totally up for the 'Waiting for the Barbarians' buddy read in January.

All added to the schedule list :)

Just saw it mentioned in the nomination tread. I would like to join.

Mods, may Phrodrick and I have a buddy read thread to Orlando by Virginia Woolf? We would like to start Tuesday the 15th to last one month. Anyone is welcome to join in.

Here is your thread: /topic/show/...

Thanks Katy!

Anytime.

Michaela, sorry I did not respond earlier. You asked if our January 2021 Buddy Read book Tracks by Louise Erdrich or any of the four books in the Love Medicine series can be read as stand alone books. Yes, I believe so. Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ calls them "Louise Erdrich's multi-generational epic on the long-lasting effects of colonialism on Ojibwe peoples and communities."

Thanks Lynn! So another read for January. ;)

Btw the link leads to another book by John McPhee. This is the right link:

Thanks Michaela. I will substitute for the broken link. I know what you mean about January. I am slated for Tracks, Cranford, and The Portrait of a Lady.

Are we still to read Waiting for the Barbarians in January?

For me yes, I just received the book today!

I need to return my book. Library asked for it back.

Is there a thread somewhere for Waiting for the Barbarians? I can't find it. :)

Thank you, Katy. :)

Katy, on March 1st I requested a buddy read The Voyage Out. This will be the last Virginia Woolf buddy read we plan to have. . . . Did I miss the book listed on schedule?

No, I missed the request.

We are all good. Thanks Katy.

Hello Katy,

could you please add Dr. Thorne to the schedule for April?

Katy,

July - A View of the Harbour
August - The Aspern Papers
September - The Wings of the Dove

Thank you!

Sara, please add These Thousand Hills in August.

Or I guess that was supposed to be directed to Katy?

Yes, only Katy can do this chore....and we thank her for it. Thanks for remembering, Terry.

Are you going to use a new thread for this one? Or continue in your current thread?

I think we will use the same thread, Katy. Just need the read added to the schedule.

Katy, Lori and I want to set up a Buddy Read for The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck in mid September. We would welcome others to join us.

I will!

Katy,

Sorry to be a pain, but we have decided to postpone The Wings of the Dove until October.

Could you also add Enemy Women for September when you get a chance.

Many thanks!

I'm busy reading it, I'll join the discussion. It's lovely.

Thank you very much, Sara and Katy! Looking forward to digging into some more Henry James. :-)

Allie and Carolien - glad you’ll join in the Good Earth with us!

Btw we´re still reading War and Peace (from July till November), so all who wanted to join in, please comment on the appropriate threads in the Tolstoy folder. Thanks!

May we have buddy read schedule posted here for rest of year? I am wondering if we are still reading/were ever committed to reading Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier.

Cynda, as far as I can tell the buddy read schedule is up to date. No one has asked to have a thread added or agreed to a buddy read for December. I went through the buddy read requests and did not find any agreement to read Cold Mountain either. If there are buddy reads agreed to, please post the thread request in the request thread, or if I have missed something, let me know.

here is your thread for those interested: /topic/show/...

I can easily delete this if there is not a buddy read - like Sara, I didn't see this in the requests either, but made you a thread anyway.

Yes, I am going to read Cold Mountain in December.

I think someone else was interested in a Buddy Read for Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner.

Not me ma'am. Someone else. Looks like 3 are interested. Anyone else interested, please jump into convo.

A few people have The Bone People on their challenges for 2022. I wonder if anyone would be interested in a buddy read?

I wanted to read Bone People for 2021 bingo card. If others read together in 2022, I will join in.

Carolien, put this request in the request thread when you are ready to read. I'll join.
