mina’s comments from the The Procrastinators Book Club group.

I read a bit of your comments, and saw that it isn't that great so I don't know if that influenced somehow how I feel about it.. but I just started it, only 4 pages in, and I'm cringing a bit.

She's acting childish not wanting to acknowledge Aaron. Maybe he is an ass or whatever, but we haven't seen that so her reaction doesn't make her look good. Plus, why is he not only answering to be her date when she didn't ask him, but also he was "fine, I'll let you take me" like she was begging him.

The book is reminding me of The Hating Game, has anyone read it?
I also heard that it was bad for some people, but I liked it. I don't know if I would like it again if I read it, but I enjoyed it much more than this.

Finally got to the part where she finally freaking tells us why she dislikes Aaron... and ouch. I'm feeling bad, and I'm not even the person that it was said about. So, I understand why she's acting towards him like that.. although I don't understand much because it's like two years since it happened.. I probably would've gone in total serious business mode.

The deal is making the things more interesting.. I'm gonna continue and read a bit more because I don't know if I'll read it tomorrow, but I'm more invested in the story now.

@Atlas Six We'll put a pin it for now, and come back to it later in the month or even June.

@Jorja Saw the message :D

Basically if you see a book someone added and you are interested in reading it you put your name in the BR column and color it for the other person to see it, and from there on you plan.

I think I'll be okay reading Atlas Six as a BR.. but it's too early for me to plan it, so maybe next month or towards the end of May.

@Jen K
Okay, we'll plan it later.. we are chill 😂

@Amber
Don't worry girl, I gotcha 😂 I'm looking through teams because unread messages annoy me, but also to see if there's a thread that people want but still haven't told me about in the nomination thread. I'm going to write it down in my spreadsheet for June, and will use your schedule when the time comes, thanks for making it 😄

@Alicia Just being active in the discussion, talking with your buddies about the book and sharing your thoughts, is how you participate and get points later for the game.

@Alicia

Yes there is a buddy read thread for The Spanish Love Deception. It's from the 1st till the 5th.

Here's the link to the Buddy Read folder so you can see what books are Buddy Reads.
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

@Jen The feeling you get when you finish a book and check it is the reason I added a check box for it 😂

Also, when do you want to do the BRs we have? because I just saw the one you added in the sheet

@Asia
yeah.. I heard that can be a problem with phone users, but since I 99% use my laptop I didn't have those problems 😅

@Jen Thanks :D I'm making another sheet for me, and anyone that wants to use it, to see when BRs start and end.. that way, hopefully, I won't get too overwhelmed with reading since I'm still feeling slumpy-ish.

No worries, ask anything that interests you. The link to the sheet is in the first message Laurel posted with the tasks, it's literally the last thing in the message. If you can't find it let me know to post the link again.

I added that one sheet where we can input our books and if they are BRs. And if you see someone reading something that you want to read too just write your name in the cell next to the book name.

No permission needed :D I'll add you to the list, although that makes no difference because you only need to be active here and discuss the book with the other buddies, just sharing your thoughts as you read.

@Brianna Great work! 😄 This will help us in the beginning, and maybe to see with what category to start, although from experience I know if you have BRs that can mess with that plan.

I'm going to add a new sheet to our team spreadsheet for the books that we are planning to read, that are BRs because later on, when we post more messages and completion posts your posts will stay on the first page, and it gets a bit annoying when you have to switch pages (or maybe that's just me 😅) But later, after maybe 3-4 weeks we could make updates of books we need to finish a category.

You can read the group book at any time during the month and at your own pace. This is the pace the group will be using, but if you read ahead or will be giving spoilers, please mark them (click the "some html is ok button"). If you have any questions a mod or another member can help you.
