Loved it! If you guys have a chance to read book 2 also, it'd be great since I need to argue with someone lol... Just kidding, I didn't like book 2 much. But book 1 totally blew me away :)

message 788: by Purvika (new)

Purvika (violetstygian) Well can anyone explain to me this buddy read concept ?


message 789: by Kathy (new)

Kathy | 7669 comments Augusti wrote: "Well can anyone explain to me this buddy read concept ?"

It's where you want to read a book with other people; you post what book you want to read or look at what others are posting, a date is set, you read the book and then there is a discussion where we hash it out. You can look at the Buddy Reads already listed also for ideas.


message 790: by Purvika (new)

Purvika (violetstygian) Ok so is there any limit in how much we should read to discuss?


message 791: by Kathy (new)

Kathy | 7669 comments Augusti wrote: "Ok so is there any limit in how much we should read to discuss?"

No, but if you post spoilers before everyone is done, make sure you mark it as a spoiler.


message 792: by Purvika (new)

Purvika (violetstygian) Ok ok thnx ... I m in then :D


message 793: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Well, it sometimes depends on how you and your buddies want to read the book. Mostly when Trisha and I read together, we decide to keep each other posted every 10 chapters (or 5 chapters, depends on how long the book is).


message 794: by Sandee is Reading (new)

Too bad, I haven't started Timeless series yet. And I didn't like the first book in Shatter Me series.
