So you and I followed the opposite trajectory huh? You went from affected to unaffected, and I went reverse lol

Oh, Gone with the Wind is such a good one though, despite that ending 💔 it's one of those books that keep me hoping for a sequel or at least a few more chapters, just anything more from the characters. I was so frustrated when I read it back then, bcz after going on such a long journey with these character(s) we don't even get the closure. After the emotions settled, I could see that was probably the best way the author could've left it, and also why it's such a classic. But I still wanted more 😪 Still do, in fact.

Hmm, maybe I'll check out some fics 👀

Yup, from affected to unaffected - best way to describe my trajectory

The ending of Gone with the Wind haunts the reader after so much investment with the characters, but there couldn’t be a more justified ending. When I was a teenager, I felt so bad for Scarlett reading the last line, now I’m like meh okay Butler did the right thing

GWTW fanfics? Do offer some reccs if you find a good one. I would love to see how another author handles the story.

Books finalized so far: The Otherwhere Post by Emily J. Taylor, Her Many Faces by Nicci Cloke.

You definitely ended up accidentally picking one of my all-time favourites congratulations!

I just looked up Rebecca and it sounds very interesting ❤️ I think I might've added it to my TBR at some point, but that point must've been long ago enough that the book had completely escaped my recollection

Maybe after we're done with our two required reads for the challenge, we can do a Rebecca buddy read as well?

And speaking of... now that we have our options locked, which of the two do you want us to start with?

I think we should pair it this way instead :

1. The Otherwhere Post by Emily J. Taylor, Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen (from my recs)

2. Her Many Faces by Nicci Cloke, Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier (from your recs)

We can choose one of each pair to get done with the challenge. And then ofc we can read the others as well.

My library has The Otherwise Post available rn so I can start there 👍

The order does not really matter to me, but the rules say the following. Let me know what’s okay with you. We can start with the classics or the contemporaries.

You will Buddy Read 2 books during the month.

Each book will be suggested by one person.

Yeah one rec from me, one rec from you. So we choose one from each pair, get done with the challenge first. Then we can read the other two. Or something else altogether. I'm fluid like that

Anyway, I'm not in a classic mood rn 😅 we can start with The Otherwise Post or Her Many Faces. My library has Otherwise available rn, and even Many Faces should get to me soon bcz I'm first in line for it.

Your pick

You’re reading 4 books?

Cool, let’s start with The Otherwhere Post, and after that Her Many Faces. Let’s first complete two books for the challenge and then we’ll see 👍
