The April Buddy Reads – Lioness at Large

The April Buddy Reads

Reblogged from: Moonlight Reader

All right, everyone, open thread for April buddy reads/readalongs/etc.
What I know so far:

April 1:

Mort - Terry Pratchett

Discworld is reading the 4th Discworld book, Mort, which is also the first in the “Death” subseries. The buddy read starts on April 1, and continues through the end of April, so you can jump in any time!

 

April 1:

The Floating Admiral - G.K. Chesterton,G.D.H. Cole,Dorothy L. Sayers,Ronald Knox,Edgar Jepson,Freeman Wills Crofts,Victor L. Whitechurch,Detection Club,Anthony Berkeley,John Rhode,Clemence Dane,Henry Wade,Margaret Cole,Milward Kennedy,Agatha Christie,Helen Simpson 

BrokenTune, Lillelara and I are planning a buddy read of this collaborative novel by various authors of The Detection Club.

 

April 19:

The Agathytes are reading Crooked House

 

Other possibilities:

Chris’ Fish Place, Tigus & I are discussing a Maigret-along, although we haven’t identified a book or a date.

Themis & I are going to continue with reading Agatha’s plays, planning on Murder on the Nile, although I don’t recall if we set a date. Sometime in April is my recollection – Themis, did we actually pick a date?

There’s also been a lot of talk about the RITAs and how authors of color aren’t nominated/don’t win in a way that suggests a hostility of romancelandia towards those authors. I have been interested in reading something by Beverly Jenkins for a while, and would love to buddy read with other readers. When I asked Ms. Bev which of her books she would recommend a new reader, she suggested Indigo, so I’d love to start with that one!

If you are hosting a buddy read that you want me to add to the post, put it in the comments. If you are interested in getting one going, put it in the comments and we’ll see what develops!

Adventures in Arda

Note: This was my summer 2022 project — but while I posted the associated project pages here at the time (Middle-earth and its sub-project pages concerning the people and peoples, timeline, geography, etc. of Arda and Middle-earth, see enumeration under the Boromir meme, below), I never got around to also copying this introductory post from […]

Michael J. Sullivan: Legends of the First Empire

Michael J. Sullivan’s Riyria books have been on my TBR for a while, but until I’d read two short stories from the cycle — The Jester and Professional Integrity — I hadn’t been sure whether his writing would be for me.  Then I found out that (much like Tolkien’s Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, and The History […]
