Confession: I have a horrible time finishing long books or non fiction even when I like them. Doing #400Souls as a #buddyread really helped. So when that one ends, I‘m planning to continue on with Friday evening discussions on #OtherSuns. Thanks to @Librarybelle for use of the tag from our last attempt to read this exceptionally well written book. I‘ve tagged those who joined #400Souls but all are welcome! Let me know if you want to be tagged.

AnneCecilie I‘m in. Just ordered the book from the library 3y
fredthemoose Oh, yay! I got maybe 20% of the way through this a couple of years ago and have been meaning to come back to it! 3y
megnews @Hestapleton I am intimidated by anything 500+ and I don‘t read nonfiction much. I have a long list I want to read and I think I‘m going to have to do them by buddy read to get through. Glad you‘re joining in! 3y
MallenNC I have read The Warmth of Other Suns and I loved it. I would definitely be up for reading it again bc it‘s been a while. 3y
MallenNC @megnews @Hestapleton I am so hesitant about reading long books but this one went quickly for me once I started it. It doesn‘t feel like a long book! 3y
Deblovestoread I am in for this. Thanks Megan. 3y
Butterfinger Yes, I want to join. 3y
rjsthumbelina I'm in! 3y
alisiakae I just discovered your buddy reads and would love to be tagged for future selections if you continue to do this! 2y
megnews @4thhouseontheleft will do! I am hoping to do Stamped from the Beginning & An Indigenous People‘s History of the United States. I‘m looking at a couple others in the people‘s history series as well. I‘ll probably take a break while we do The 1619 Project because I really want to focus on it. 2y
alisiakae @megnews I just read the Young Reader‘s edition of Indigenous Peoples‘ History, but want to read the original edition too! And Stamped from the Beginning is high on my list too! 🎉 I‘m hoping this lull in having some more free time and less unexpected events continues so I can pick up my reading pace again. 2y
megnews @4thhouseontheleft I‘ve been trying to increase my nonfiction, particularly history & anti racism. In order to stay motivated, I asked about a buddy read & found some folks to read along. Not necessary but if you have any interest in co hosting either of those books in the future let me know. I‘ve also been considering African American and Latinx History of the United States, A Black Women‘s History of the United States, & One Person No Vote. 2y
alisiakae @megnews I‘d be happy to co-host! Would you like to co-host with me on the #1619buddyread? Having a partner is always fun! 2y
megnews @4thhouseontheleft I don‘t want to invite myself. If you would like help I‘d be more than happy to. My email is megnewson @ gmail if you want to contact me about it. 2y
