Buddy reads are different than BOTMs in that the former is just with one other person or possibly a small group and the latter is more of a group-wide reading.

This thread is to request a buddy read of a book. You can request a book if you've been meaning to read it and haven't gotten to it yet or if you just want to find other similar-minded people to read a book with. If one or more other people say in this thread that they also want to buddy read a book that's been requested and/or someone requests a book and notes that it's already been established that one or more members of this group are wanting to buddy read that book, then I will approve a request and there will be a thread for that buddy read. However, please do not say that you want to buddy read a book if you aren't sure that you would read it if/when it becomes a buddy read book for this group.

If you have any questions, please send me a private message. Have fun reading!

S. Daisy I'd love to buddy read Light of the Ark: Book 1 of Light the Ark Series - A Christian Fiction Thriller with somebody if anybody is interested. I own it, but haven't read it yet. I read and enjoyed the prequel, though. It does have a small fantasy element to it.

That would be great! I still have a book or two to read ahead of it, so I probably won't get to it until around February anyway, haha. Just let me know when you're ready! You have my contact info. :-)

By the way, we should have buddy read Bridgers: A Parable together. That was such a great book.

Got it! I don't own a copy of the book. Is there any way I can get in contact with the author?

And wow, can't believe you're already done with Bridgers! Did you get a review copy?


message 8: by S. (new)

S. Daisy You can contact the author James Bonk through the Ask the Author section on his profile. You can mention that you know me. :-)

I did get a review copy of Bridgers. I actually reviewed it a while ago, not very long after you did. I thought that you read my review already; you "liked" it, haha. I really enjoyed the book. I also reviewed another book by that author, Code, which was also good.

Oh, for some reason I was under the impression I read the book before you did. I did read your review, though, and I was reminded of "The Outsiders" as well!

You did read it before me; it was because of your review that I got a copy, haha!

Ahhh, I still haven't read it yet! I can definitely get the audiobook from my library, and maybe we could do a buddy read together in a few weeks?

Sorry for the late reply! I've just started yesterday. I'll make us a thread so we can figure out how fast to read, though!

Link to ask people if they want to buddy-read with you:

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Once you and you buddies have decided, you request a thread be created here:

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Sorry it's confusing! I didn't even know that old buddy-read thread was there.
