Buddy Reads discussion

We all get let down by life every once in a while so I added this thread to provide a place where you can share the good things that happened today. Small things and big ones.

We'll limit it to 3 per person per day so that we get to hear everyone's day. Feel free to discuss and talk and congratulate; and keep smiling!



This idea was taken from The Life of a Book Addict

My something good:

1. I finally got to the fun part of 2 of my books.
2. Had some quality time with my little sister.
3. Made up with a friend.

My something good:

1. Did shopping with mum
2. Was able to read more today
3. Received an anticipated arc to read!

Aqi which books was it ?

I'm glad you spent time with your family and friends:)

Something wonderful that happened today was getting 13 books for $1, secondhand. I'm so excited to start reading!

Enjoy your arc Karen and congrats on making up with a friend, Aqsa :D

My something good:

1. I finished my book yesterday
2. I spent time with my parents
3. I watched Desperate Housewives on Hulu

Thank you @Kare @Darce

One book is with you Kare and the other is The Woman in the Window. Which arc did you get?? Was shopping fun?

Darce, wow that's awesome! I need more books too!!

Christine:
Spending time with family is always good :) So I take it that the movie was good??

I agree with you Aqsa and I didn’t see that movie yet

Sorry, I thought you did :)

My something good:

1) I chatted with one of my best friends
2) I wrote a few pages in a book I'm writing
3) I found a great blog with an amazing book that I'm really enjoying

You're righting a book????? Wow!
That's a good day :)

My something good:

1. I had a lot of fun discussing a book with my BR partner today.
2. Enjoyed playing a little games of winning with some of my friends.
3. Got a card from my sister.

Yeah...even though by tomorrow, I'll probably scrap it 😭

Thanks my heart 😘 (and chatting with you is the best)

I ..."

I've started and scraped probably over 20 stories already...I've only finished two, and I want to scrap both of them too...😐

❤ I love it too!

Don't scrap. Keep them. You can always refine them over time. I know you are a perfectionist but I tell the same to my little sister who loves writing (and singing) songs and quotes. Write them and refine them.❤❤

I know...but still...several months after writing them, it seems so childish and immature. Refining them in my dictionary means re-writing them 😂😂😂

I think there's lot of time and yes, rewriting is part of the process but it'll always get only better.

1) Had a play date with my best neighbor friend and her kids.

2) Started a new chapter book with my 5 year old daughter and she was so entranced we read 181 pages in one sitting- she’s going to be a reader ♥️

3) Made banana bread with my girls 🍌🍞

That's cute, Christine! I hope your friend and her kids are good :). And it's amazing that your daughter is looking to become a reader, have fun introducing her to the wonder of reading! And of course banana bread is amazing 😍

Thanks for the update! I can't wait for this to come!

@ Mydnight I didn't know what a Wii was, lol. Searched it. It's cool :)
Yeah, I'd love to learn French and several others. Languages are awesome! Haha, yeah We both ate potatoes! I like both! How was the graphic novel? I haven't even read the normal one and I have ebooks of both. I'm lazy here, lol. Who is your fav band?

@J R Sorry about the book, love. How were the episodes?

My something good today:

1. Had an amazing time at the gym (I'm so tired now).
2. Went to the roof after so long and thought about and missed the only one I loved going up with. It wasn't the same but I'm glad I did it.
3. Saved a souvenir (a key) for those memories.

P.S. I like writing these good parts of the day instead of remembering the sad moments.
