message 1: by Jade (new)

Jade Diamond (jadediamond) If you are reading a book and you find someone else is reading it, why not read it at the same time and discuss your thoughts on the book.

This is a place where you can ask others if they want to read a specific book with you. Post a book below that you would like to read with somebody else. Comment what book you'd like to buddy read, or reply to someone else's request to buddy read.

Once you start a buddy read, make sure you have created a thread in this folder. Add it to the Buddy Reads Folder with the title and Author as the Topic Heading.

Each buddy read is approached according to the preference of the people in the Group. The Group can decide for themselves if they want to read and discuss at the same time, read and then discuss, or use guided questions. It is entirely up to you on how you would like to run the buddy read

Please use Spoiler Tags as needed, Check out the 'Some Html is ok' box above the post box for Spoiler Tags, and please be respectful to other's opinions.

If the book is established as a Future Group Read I would appreciate it if you waited to read it with the Group.

If you have any Additional Questions, leave them below.

I've read this savage song, and I absolutely loved it. Great book, and great dual perspective.

I have to say that I may be a little slow because english is not my mother tongue.


message 39: by Kikijanika (last edited Mar 12, 2017 01:12AM) (new)

Kikijanika Anquélique I'm interested in A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki and The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas . But is May too late for The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas ? Because I have The Way of Kings (The Stormlight Archive, #1) by Brandon Sanderson scheduled for April and it's quite long. The other book I could read in April.

Belén Bravo I'm interested in Caraval (Caraval, #1) by Stephanie Garber . Is April ok? And don't worry about the pace. I'm reading so many books at the same time that I'll also be slow :D
