Buddy Read Nomination (July 2025)
I'm hoping to get to these in July:Homeland
Tiger Queen
Lord of the Fading Lands
The Tiger and the Wolf
Mod
If Overgrowth is not chosen as a group read, I want to put it out here as a potential buddy read (and if you DO want it to be a group read, go vote!)
Crown of MidnightThrone of Glass
The Last Thing He Told Me —> just in case this isn’t our goup read for july
Enchantra
My Map of You
The Summer of Broken Rules
All the Stars and Teeth
Dial A for Aunties
I haven't started planning out too much for July but here is what is on deck for the challenge overall so July could maybe be the month!You, Again (I believe a main character is a chef?)
Love & Luck (road-trip)
Love & Olives (set in Greece)
Kingdom of Ash (fated mates & I *need* to finish this series finally)
The Retreat (set on an island but book 2 in a series)
Hide (yellow cover)
Rhapsodic (featuring sirens)
The Nineties (my least favorite genre)
Electric Idol (greek mythology retelling)
Mod
@Brianna I’ll join you in Rhapsodic and Electric Idol!
My month is pretty open for now, so everything will depend on which book gets scheduled first 😂

@ Edith: I'm leaning towards Rhapsodic earlier in the month since it is new to me and Electric Idol at any point (technically a re-read). How long would you like for each?
Mod
@Edith Perfect! @Brianna I‘ll do the 2 Love books with you. These are the books after love & gelato right?
Mod
Question for the Love series, would you mind if I put both of the books in the same thread?
Mod
The Kingdom of Ash thread is still open, and I would like to try and read it with you, and to also finish the series too.
@ Sarah-Vanessa I would like to join you for Dial A for Aunties - I'm flexible time-wise in JulyAlso (depending on the group poll) I'd be in for The Last Thing He Told Me

RE: Love series: The more the merrier! And one thread is fine by me. Any ideas on how to break them down by? Love & Luck is the shorter of the two.
Edith wrote: "@Brianna--Rhapsodic for 6 days, 5 chapters per day, starting the 1st of July sound doable? I don't have a copy for Electric Idol yet so I'm unsure on that one as of now 😅"Edith
The schedule for Rhapsodic works for me!
For Electric Idol, I believe it is 33 chapters and just under 400 pages. I remember it being a fairly quick read at least?
mina wrote: "@BriannaThe Kingdom of Ash thread is still open, and I would like to try and read it with you, and to also finish the series too."
Mina: That works for me! It is like 121 chapters and a whopping almost 1000 pages. I'm not sure if any kind of schedule is set up but spacing it through most of the month would probably be ideal.
Mod
@Rhapsodic awesome, here's the schedule for mina's sanity!
July 1st: Chapters 1-5
July 2nd: Chapters 6-10
July 3rd: Chapters 11-15
July 4th: Chapters 16-20
July 5th: Chapters 21-25
July 6th: Chapters 26-30
@electric idol: 33 chapters doesn't sound too bad! is it okay if we leave it for the last week of july? hopefully that should be enough time for my libby hold to come in :)
Mod
@Brianna I‘ll do the 2 Love books with you. These are the books after love & gelato right?"
@Throne of Glass: how does the 7th-13th sound? looks like there's 55 chapters but they're super short. we could do 7 or 8 chapters a day? let me know!
@The Last Thing He Told Me: not sure how the scheduling for this one will work since it's a potential GR 😅
Mod
[b..."
I totally missed this comment, but I'll join you for Carrie!
@Edith 7th to 13th works for me.@mina one thread is ok for me as well.
@juliane yey, should we do 1th of July up to 7th?

Electric Idol: Last week of July works for me so I'll get a schedule posted here soon!
@Sarah-Vanessa: I will join you on the Enchantra one...
Books I'm planning to read in July if anyone wants to join me:The Ornithologist's Field Guide to Love (by the 10th)
Caught Up (by the 17th)
The Third Rule of Time Travel (by the 21st)
What Happens in Amsterdam (by the 23rd)
Tom Lake
Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection
@Leslie Yey, so excited I nominated Enchantra I guess at least once already. When would it work for you?
@Leslie I'm interested in The Ornithologist's Field Guide to Love. What did you have in mind for the schedule?
@Sarah-Vanessa reg. Dial A for Aunties July 1st to 7th works for me. Do you already have a copy for making a schedule? Otherwise my audiobook arrives on June 25th I could make a schedule then.
@Leslie: I would love to join you with Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection!
Mod
If this isn't picked as the group read, I'll read with you. Hypothetically, would the first week of July work?
Mod
Is there a particular time you want to start? What pace would you like to read at?
Mod
Yay! I'd ideally like to start around the 1st as I would also like to read Heroes: Mortals and Monsters, Quests and Adventures in July, I don't know if you'd be up for that one too?
Mod
I'll read this one with you, what kind of schedule were you thinking?
@Brianna @Sarah-Vanessa Love & LuckThere are only 10 chapters so do we want to read:
2 chapters per day for 5 days
or
4 chapters the first day and then 3 chapters for the next 2 days?
Mod
@Kingdom of Ash
I'll make the schedule to be for the whole month, reading 4 chapters per day
@Overgrowth I'm actually going on vacation the first week of July, so that isn't ideal for me lol
Mod
We can push back later, when would you want to start?
@Juliane I don’t have a copy yet. I‘ll get mine on the 29th. Would it be ok for you to make the schedule?@Sophie I could read it starting from the 14th.
@Ela @Brianna 4:3:3 would be ok for me.
Mod
How many pages are you wanting to read each day?
If you want, I’ll also join you for The Summer of Broken Rules
re: Love & Luck: 4:3:3 also works for me!re: Kingdom of Ash: Thank you mina for putting together the schedule! 4 chapters/day for the month should work for me!
@SarahVanessa re: EnchantraBetween the 9th and the 16th would be best for me. I looked at my copy on KU and there are 50 chapters so that would be about 6-7 chapters a day and on average 55 pages a day. Does that work?
@Ela (Mouse333) re: The Ornithologist's Field Guide to LoveDoes July 3rd through July 9th work for you? That will be about 54 or so pages per day, but I won't know the chapter breakdown until tomorrow night when I buy my copy.
@Katie re: Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest InfectionMy best time for this book is July 24th through July 30th - while it is under 200 pages, it always takes me longer reading non-fiction. Does that work for you?
@Sophie re: What Happens in AmsterdamHow does July 18th through July 22nd work for you? That would be about 74-75 pages on average for the book. I'm getting my book tomorrow night and can break it down then. If you need longer please let me know.
Love & Luck how about starting on the 9th?9th: Prologue - Chapter 3
10th: Chapters 4 - 6
11th: Chapter 7 - Epilogue
