Here you can talk to members and start buddy reads with them! If you do find someone to buddy read with, create a discussion in the BUDDY READ folder.
Title the discussion based on the book your reading and your names.

Ex. If you're going to read Divergent and your names are Sam and Sarah, then you'd title the discussion Divergent Sam + Sarah

~

Have fun!

Charlotte (beigepages) I'd to read It, Insomnia and Firestarter all by Stephen King, if anyone is interested.

I also have a bunch of YA that needs to be read, so if anyone is interested I'll post a list of those books and we can discuss/message about buddy reading them. :)

Beautiful Malice by Rebecca James Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay

These are the books I have on my desk waiting to be read! :D If anybody plans to read them too, I can be your buddy. Or if I can borrow some books that you are also planning to read, I'll join you :)

Charlotte (beigepages) Grace and Lauren: that's great! I don't really mind when we start Insomnia, as long as it's after next week because I have exams. Feel free to message me or something if you have a specific date in mind!

The YA books I need to read are:
Slated (Slated, #1) by Teri Terry The Host (The Host, #1) by Stephenie Meyer Scarlet (Lunar Chronicles, #2) by Marissa Meyer Torment (Fallen, #2) by Lauren Kate Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles, #1) by Kami Garcia Extras (Uglies, #4) by Scott Westerfeld

There are a bunch more that I need to get round too, but these are the ones I think I need a buddy to get through.

(I also need to read The Two Towers and. The Return of the King, but I really really need a buddy for those because Fellowship was so hard to get through)

@Charlotte Yeah that'd be great! When would you want to start it?


message 11: by Charlotte (new)

Charlotte (beigepages) Grace: I really don't mind! I'm pretty much free to start it any day (except from next Wednesday because that's when my exams are), so whenever works for you. :) it depends if you want to read it while you're reading other books as well. We could wait until we've finished what we're currently reading to start?


message 12: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Kennedy (laurenxo) Grace and Charlotte: I'm free to read Insomnia anytime after this week if you still want to!

Charlotte (beigepages) Samyam: wait, which book did you want to read? Lauren, Grace and I will possibly be reading Insomnia next Thursday or Friday. But Grace and I will also be reading Throne of Glass at some point as well.


message 21: by samyam (new)

I want to read Insomnia with you guys as well! :) Next week will be good since I have to borrow it first from the library :)


message 24: by Charlotte (new)

Charlotte (beigepages) Kate: awesome, the more the merrier, haha :') How long do you get to keep books from your library? I'm sure we'll get it read before you have to take it back or anything, but just to be sure.


message 25: by Kate (new)

Kate ★ (spillsandspoils) | 544 comments Mod
Charlotte: I can keep them till 3weeks, but you can also renew them so there's no problem :)


message 26: by Charlotte (new)

Charlotte (beigepages) Kate: that's the same as my library :') But that shouldn't be a problem at all! I'm pretty sure all of us can start at some point next week or after that, but I think we need to check to be extra sure.

message 36: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Kennedy (laurenxo) I'm looking for someone to read The Casual Vacancy with me starting this weekend if anyone's up for it? I've had this book since the day it came out and I read about 100 pages and gave up. I was in a reading slump at the time but I think I'll definitely like it more this time and it seems like a book that would be great to discuss with someone!

message 42: by Hailey (new)

Hailey | 6 comments Would today work for you, Lisanne?


Lisanne Elisabeth (lisanneelisabeth) I'm trying to finish my current book (Unearthly) tonight. It is currently 9 p.m here in Holland so I think I will need another 2,5 hours. I have another Buddy read with Grace (hush, hush). It would be really nice to read these books with you guys. And I think is the best option to read as much as I can from all the 3 books. Is that okay with you??


Lisanne Elisabeth (lisanneelisabeth) I have 95 pages left (Unearthly), so hopefully I'll finish it tonight and if not I'll finish it tomorrow. I promise I will start all these three books tomorrow!
