@Vicki oh man! that had to have been rough! Sometimes you just gotta do what you got to do, regardless. I know my fridge in my dorm had leaked my first year of college, but luckily I managed to be able to buy a new one. I live about 20 minutes from home. I don't commute though in winter because KY roads are so hilly and awful. In the fall and in better weather, I mostly commute then. I go back and forth between the house and the dorm, especially if things are stressful at school or with roommates. Plus if I have night classes, I'll stay at the dorm sometimes depending on how late it is. I don't want to risk my life going to class, especially with driving so I stay put during winter weather. Safety first! We have washers and dryers in the basement of my dorm building. It's 16 floors and sometimes trying to do laundry is an all night job! It is thankfully free-it used to not be...

@Vicki, also we have a grocery store on campus. It's not a long walk. Just across the street. Plus I'm close to a Family Dollar, a Speedway and if all else fails I can walk downtown in no time and be at the grocery. When we got a lot of snow and was out of school for the week, I went to some of the grocery stores and went to the dollar store as well as the campus grocery and stocked up on food--I was good to go.

Maddison, when were you thinking of reading those books? I currently have
and I would like to read
but I don't know if we can work out the dates because I would need to request them all and I leave for a vacation next Wednesday the 15th and won't be back until the 24th.
@Vicki Yes, 16 floors. Girls on certain floors, boys on certain floors too. We have RAs. We have a ping pong room, a study room, snack machines in our lobby and we have a basement to do laundry.
@Lydia The 23rd it is then! I'll create the thread in the morning! I'm away from the computer right now.. Lol
I know. I'm hoping to go to law school after I graduate. Maybe take a year off before I go. Education is important! My parents have always pushed and emphasized education. But for the most part, I'm pretty self-driven. Not so much lately when it comes to studying for my LSAT, lol. But it is summer and I need a break!
I'd love to have a buddy to read any of these books with. :)
I'm pretty flexible on time right now, but I was thinking we could start the end of this month or the beginning of August.
If someone wants to read any of these books let me know! I'm a little busy this month so starting in August would be best (though if you can't I can work it out this month too)

YES, you know I'm game!!

Paperweight - there's a small wait at my library but shouldn't be bad. I'm the first hold on 7 copies
Law of Moses - I just bought
Push Girl - I can have in a few days.
Trisha, YES!!! I own all three but I am behind so how about July 22, August 2 & 3? Or we can do later in August.

I'm not in a rush, and I know you have a couple buddy reads for next month so you can pick some dates.
The end of August or the beginning of September sound good to me.
Perfect!!! So excited to read them with you! I'm out right now but I'll make the threads when I get home unless you do it before then. SO EXCITED! :)

Thanks! I checked out both the threads. Looking forward to read thos books with you. :)
Oh, and I am still looking for a buddy to read any of these books with. So someone let me know if you are interested. I am thinking of starting one for late July or early August.

I was thinking the 5th.

I would read Grave Mercy with you but I can only do it after the 10th of August. Does that work?

@Alison here is the thread for Grave Mercy:https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
@Nicole, I will make the Cruel Beauty thread in one minute.
@Hannah, great! It seems like I am suddenly booked for August. lol
Would you like to try to read one of those books this month or in early September?
This thread is the best so glad to meet all of you! :)
Hannah wrote: "We could do both in September if you want."That would be perfect. :)
How about we do one on September 2nd and another on the 9th?
I'm real flexible with those dates if you need to change, and you can decide which one we read first. I'm just happy to have a buddy reader. lol
@Nicole, here is the link to the buddy read thread:https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Hannah, I will make a thread for both books and post the links in a bit. :)
Jessica wrote: "I'd like to join you two for The Fifth Wave in September if that's okay! :)"Of course it is okay! I will make the thread in a little bit. Yay! :)
Hey would it be cool if I changed the dates a little bit? I just noticed that I start a buddy read on August 30th. lolHow about we read
on September 7th and
on September 14th? Sorry about the mix up.
