Hello! So, I have been doing quite a bit of research on Buddy Readers...and I am completely in love with the idea! So, just to try it out, I am starting this topic for fans of Marissa Meyer to having a reading buddy with similar reading interests!

Nobody has to partake in Buddy Reading*, but if you would like, you can write your name and a bit about yourself (i.e. favorite pastimes, hobbies, interests, books, etc.).

So here's mine (an example of how to format it and my "entry" for a buddy!):
Name Hi, again! *waves* I am Caroline.
Info about you I am a Junior in High School, I am in marching band, and I am the VP of our school book club.
Reading interests My favorite books are in the YA Dystopian and Fantasy genre, but I also love a good fairytale retelling or backstory...and maybe a realistic fiction novel or two!
Writing interests I love writing Fan-Fiction, original dystopian/fantasy stories, and short stories.
Other pastimes? My top three would be (other than reading, of course!) drawing, Pinterest-ing, and marching band!
Anything else? I am a Ravenclaw, and proudly wear my crocheted scarf of blue and bronze! I have been told by all of my friends that if I had a godly parent, it would be Athena; and my faction is Erudite, even though I am Divergent.

*No one has to have a buddy, but it would be nice for everyone to participate, even if it is for one book! Hopefully this will be fun!!

Lastly! You can pick a buddy by replying to their comment, after you have submitted yours, or you can message them to ask if they have one or not! And PLEASE recommend the group to anyone you know that would love the group, we have been brainstorming and planning to make the group more interactive and fun!

message 6: by Bree (new)

Bree (bookishlybree) | 1 comments Name: Hello, fellow Lunartics! I am Brianna, but I also go by Bree.

Info about you: I'm a teenage girl obsessed with books (obviously), horses and music. I am also a book blogger Breesbooks28.wordpress.com :)

Reading Interests: Anything YA, honestly. Fantasy, Mystery, Contemporary, Science Fiction, but the one thing I refuse to read is horror!

Writing Interests: I *love* to write. I always have :). When I was about seven, I decided I wanted to be an author (or a doctor, but that has been long gone) and I am currently writing a book about three princess sisters that are locked in a tower and one escapes and one of the others goes after her (does that make sense? I haven't written the part yet🙈).

Other Pastimes: Blogging, talking with friends, listening to music (Shawn Mendes and Taylor Swift, definitely.) , I love to dance but I am horrible at it😂 I'm good at soccer⚽

Anything else: I co-host a book club and Good reads group, The Bookish Girls♡.
I am a total 'Disnerd'💜
My rating average for books is usually 4.5 stars....I am home-schooled. I love hand written letters and cards even if they are 'out dated'. I buy stationary that I will most likely use once and going along with the horses comes unicorns. I have a chihuahua, Bella and a guinea pig, Cookie :)
I am an only child and I love the rain and cloudy days where it looks like it could rain (much like today).🌧🌥


message 7: by ~Sophia~ (last edited Mar 30, 2018 12:37PM) (new)

~Sophia~ (sophiabooks) Name: Hi, everyone! My name is Sophia. I don't really have a nickname, so, yeah.
Info about you: I am a gal who lives for reading, cats, friends, and music. I am the treasurer at my school, and I enjoy learning about science (but not math, ironically).
Reading interests: I mainly read books from the forever-loved YA section. I like adventure, fantasy, and dystopian. Oh, and occasionally I will read a classic. Really, I will read anything.
Writing interests: I love to write research papers and essays of all kinds. However, I'm not really into writing fanfiction or my own fictional stories. But if you ever need something to be proofread from an essay to a short story, I'm your gal!
Other pastimes: When I am not reading, I am busy playing my violin, listening to classic rock and 90s grunge, or listening to podcasts about food or science. I'm weird like that.
Anything else: My average rating is 3.5 stars. It can take me anywhere from two days to two weeks to finish an average YA 400 page book depending on how much I like it. And ... I am a Gryffinpuff!!!!

Anything else: Ummmmmm.....I am known in my class as the girl who always corrects spelling mistakes and such, and I am also known as the girl who is OBSESSED with Doctor Who. One day I want to either be an editor or an author! Writing is sooooo fun!

Yes!!! That would be awesome!! Have fun at your summer camps :P

P.s who's your fav Doctor????

(Mines 11 but 10 is close behind)---

Also, just clarifying, I'm a bit of a slow reader....so if we do buddy read I hope I won't slow you down or anything - but it would be so fun!!! Currently reading Winter at the moment.


message 13: by Shemayah (new)

Shemayah Drake HOLDDDD UPPP

You like Voltron too??????

:D Pidge foreverrrrrrrr


message 14: by Caroline, The Lunar Princess (new)

Caroline | 178 comments Mod
Ten is my favorite! But I love them all. 💛 I am fine with a slower paced buddy read, it is nice to take time and enjoy a book.

Voltron is one of my FAVORITE things right now, along with the anime Love Live!

If you want to buddy read any Marissa Meyer book, that'd be fine with me. I am planning on starting a re-read of the Lunar Chronicles during breaks at camp, so I am pumped to re-read all of her books right now!


message 15: by Shemayah (new)

Shemayah Drake That sounds awesome!!! I just started reading Winter (sooo excited) and then I'll have to read Stars Above and Fairest...so I'm not sure how that would work... hmmm...

message 18: by zaiyah (new)

zaiyah (skellyzelly) Name: Zaiyah Dennie. My friends call me 'Zyha' (Zee-ha) which I hate but is thanks to someone misspelling my name.

Info about you: I'm in middle school and don't really do any extracurriculars, though I am in band where I play the euphonium (used to be trombone) I want to be an editor someday so I can do my two favourite things: reading and correcting people. People have told me I'm a bit psychotic which I don't entierly agree with, but, close enough.

Reading interests: Almost any paper that has words on it but especially YA and fantasy. Not a huge fan of non-fiction, but it'll do if I have nothing else to do.

Writing interests: I think I'm horrible at writing though I always get good grades in that section of E.L.A (probably because the teachers don't know what they're doing. No offence if there are any teachers here. Just sharing my thoughts and opinions.)

Other pastimes: Nope. Just reading. Unless you count terrorizing my sisters…

Anything else: I am a proud Hufflepuff and will gladly tell off anyone who says reading is useless or that I'm lame because I would rather melt my eyes by reading than my brain by playing video games. (I'm near-sighted, probably from spending the majority of my time with a book a foot away from my face.)

And I think that's it!


Phoenix (Books with Wings) Hi guys!! I just joined yesterday but I'm so excited to be on this club!

Name: E.K.

I love reading, writing, playing the violin and baseball. My favorite team is the Red Sox. I'm in an orchestra at my school and I love writing fantasy novels. My favorite books are the Lunar Chronicles, the Harry Potter series and Ms. Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children.
Also I know you posted a long time ago Caroline but I think we should totally be buddy readers because I'm also a Ravenclaw my godly parent would be Athena and I'm an Erudite.
