Have a book you want to read along with a few buddies? Feel free to pitch your title here and see if others are interested in joining in with you. This is the tread for "Traditional Buddy Reads," which means you will likely take a week or more to read the book. If you want to read it at a faster rate, be sure to post in the "Quickie Buddy Reads."

Have Fun! :D

Shelby Anne (goodreadscomtattle) | 14 comments Dorna, I think I have The Alchemyst at home that I've been meaning to read. I'll check when I get home this afternoon to be sure, and if I do I'd love to buddy read it! :) We also have a lot of the same to-read books.

Is it not available at your library? Or does a friend have it? I'd join in and read it with ya'll, but I'm bogged down with other books at the moment... :/

Well, due to fines, I am currently unable to check anything out at the library.

@Dorna: Would it be free?

I'm interested in reading Shadow and Bone! I've been meaning to read it forever and I think a Buddy Read would give me the kick in the rear I need to start it. XD

Hi Brittany. Yay! I've done only a few of these buddy reads and I'm loving it. Want to start Friday?

Well, I have a presentation I have to work on for grad school this weekend, but - if you don't plan to read too fast - I can start on Friday. If you'd rather read it more quickly, say in a few days, it might be best to wait till Tuesday. Whichever you prefer is fine with me, though. :)

Well, I'm not that fast of a reader to begin with. We can read 5 chapters a night and comment. I can wait til Tuesday as well. I don't mind at all. =0)

Tanya, I don't mind reading along with you on this one. It sounds interesting. I'll let you know when I buy the book so we can decide when to start it. ~ Poison Study.

Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
So, I'm nearly finished with Forever, then I'm going to read Fangirl. It should take me a week or less. After that, would anyone be interested in Buddy Reading Dare You To (Pushing the Limits, #2) by Katie McGarry , Siege and Storm (The Grisha, #2) by Leigh Bardugo , or Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices, #1) by Cassandra Clare ???


message 24: by s (new)

s (cherrybelugas) Ooh, I'm planning on reading Clockwork Angel when I finish City of Glass...


message 25: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
Awesome! Think we'll finish around the same time? If not, I can put off Fangirl and read Clockwork Angel next if you're close to finishing it...

message 29: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
Nadia, Id be interested in reading it, but I don't think I'd get around to it for a couple of weeks. :/


~Akweley♡Mazarae♥~★☆★oblivion★☆★~I CAN'T BREATHE~ (nala13) Same for me, I'd have to order it from my library, and I"m reading a bunch of other books right now. I just wanted to ask, so if someone wanted to read it with me, I could get it ahead of time.


message 31: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
I could read it with you if you wanted to wait a couple weeks. Maybe the first of April?


~Akweley♡Mazarae♥~★☆★oblivion★☆★~I CAN'T BREATHE~ (nala13) Are we sill reading the darkest minds?


message 34: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
Well, it looks like Darkest Minds just might be our Group Read for next month. It's in the lead in the polls, though you can't see it yet.


~Akweley♡Mazarae♥~★☆★oblivion★☆★~I CAN'T BREATHE~ (nala13) Oh, okay. Thanks! I can't remember what I voted for though...hahaha

I can read the Maze Runner with you :) Early August would work best for me.

Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
That's great, Katie! I've been meaning to read this book for an age and I think if I have a Buddy reading it with me, I'll jump start my motivation to crack it open, lol.

Is there a specific day in August that would work best for you?


message 41: by Katie (new)

Katie Same for me! I need a little motivation to actually read it. And the day doesn't matter, whatever works best for you is fine :)


message 42: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
Does Monday, the 4th work for you? I'll be working the first weekend in August, so I won't have much time to read.


message 43: by Katie (new)

Katie That should work! I'll write it down someplace now so I don't forget :)


message 44: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
Sweet! We'll read it just in time for the movie to come out the following month, too. ^-^


message 45: by Katie (new)

Katie I forgot this one was being made into a movie! That makes reading it even more exciting.


message 46: by Katie (new)

Katie Hey Brittany, are you still up for The Maze Runner on the 4th? Just checking in to make sure, since it's been awhile. :)


message 47: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
I am if you are! In fact, if you wanted to start it a little earlier, I'd be fine with that, too. I just finished my current read, so I'm trying to decide what to read next, lol.


message 48: by Katie (new)

Katie I'd be fine with that! When would you rather start?


message 49: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
Anytime, really. When would be most convenient for you?


message 50: by Katie (new)

Katie You said you were looking for something to read next... Maybe we could start tomorrow? I won't have much time for reading tonight.
