I think you have to put your profile on public (or at least for goodreads members to see) because otherwise only people you're friends with can see your shelf.

If you want to change your settings go here https://www.goodreads.com/user/edit then go ''Settings'' and choose an option where it says ''Who can view your goodreads profile''

I' good for the 1st 3 books on this list if Anna is, but Erased is contingent on getting Altered read...I'll do it! I am bound and determined this year! Haha!


message 3971: by Kathy (new)

Kathy | 7669 comments It's ok Vicki! I will even wait till March if that would be better for you!

Just let me know when! It's all good! :D

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Anna wrote: "Ok :) when do you want to read them?"

Do these dates work?

The Fallen Star (Fallen Star, #1) by Jessica Sorensen 2/3 with Kathy
Ignite (Midnight Fire, #1) by Kaitlyn Davis 2/7
Significance (Significance, #1) by Shelly Crane 2/15
Stained (Stained, #1) by Ella James 2/19


Then we can schedule the others. I am just guessing on the books, but you can choose any order you like from all the books you posted. I just need to read Iron Butterfly when I have more days between reads.


Anna (Unquenchable Reads) (unquenchablereads) | 249 comments That works for me :)


message 3974: by [deleted user] (new)

Feb 14 sounds good!

Can you make the thread, please? :D


message 3977: by [deleted user] (new)

Sure!! :)


Anna (Unquenchable Reads) (unquenchablereads) | 249 comments @vicki I'm sorry but I can't read Significance in Feb. I forgot it was a challenge for Jan.


Anna (Unquenchable Reads) (unquenchablereads) | 249 comments But the other ones I can still read with you


message 3980: by [deleted user] (new)

Would anyone like to read Please Ignore Vera Dietz by A.S. King or Every You, Every Me by David Levithan with me?

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Do you want me to make the threads, or do you want to? Or I can make one, you make one, and Kathy can make one for the one the three of us are reading. LOL

I'll make the one for Ignite
You make it for Stained
Kathy make it for The Fallen Star

Kathy, I am going to go ahead and make the one for Fallen Star. :o)


Anna (Unquenchable Reads) (unquenchablereads) | 249 comments Ok I'll make the one I'm supposed to make :)

I'll read Pleas Ignore Vera Dietz. It looks amazing, but when do you want to read it? I'm pretty full in Jan.


message 3985: by [deleted user] (new)

How about the 31st of January?? Or Feb. 1?


message 3986: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Tori wrote: "How about the 31st of January?? Or Feb. 1?"

Jan. 31 is better for me. Will you make the thread or would you like me to do that?

You can create the thread. :)


message 3988: by Katie (new)

Katie | 1999 comments These are a few 2014 releases that I will probably preorder before the release date. Would anyone like to buddy read any of them once they are released?

Faking Normal by Courtney C. Stevens Nearly Gone by Elle Cosimano Far From You by Tess Sharpe Frozen (Taken, #2) by Erin Bowman


message 3989: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments @ Katie, I would be in for Frozen.


message 3990: by Katie (last edited Dec 31, 2013 05:08PM) (new)

Katie | 1999 comments @Mandiann, Cool. It's not out until April 15th, so we could schedule it for the end of April.


message 3991: by [deleted user] (new)

@Katie I will read Far From You with you. I just read the synopsis and it sounds really, really good.


message 3992: by Katie (new)

Katie | 1999 comments @Tori, That one comes out April 8th, so we could try to do it sometime in April. We could schedule it later in April to give us enough time to get the book first.


message 3993: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Sounds good.


message 3994: by Katie (last edited Dec 31, 2013 05:11PM) (new)

Katie | 1999 comments Do you want to schedule Frozen for April 21st, and if we don't get our books in time, or if we're busy then, we can push it back later.

Katie, I want to read Faking Normal and Nearly Gone


message 3997: by Katie (last edited Dec 31, 2013 05:23PM) (new)

Katie | 1999 comments Okay. Faking Normal comes out at the end of February, so we could schedule it for March, and Nearly Gone comes out at the end of March, so we can schedule it for April.


message 3998: by Gisbelle (last edited Dec 31, 2013 05:27PM) (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments I don't recommend setting up buddy read 3 or 4 months in advance.


message 3999: by Katie (last edited Dec 31, 2013 05:35PM) (new)

Katie | 1999 comments Okay, sorry. I just got too excited about some upcoming releases.

@Vicki, We can schedule a buddy read for Faking Normal now and wait on scheduling Nearly Gone until closer to its release date.

@Mandiann, We can wait to schedule Frozen until closer to its release date.

@Tori, We can wait to schedule Far From You until closer to its release date.


message 4000: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments I know that feeling, but I have spent so many hours moving inactive buddy reads because they have been set way too far in advance and everyone ends up forgetting about those buddy reads or just doesn't want to read those books anymore.

So I think it best to set only a few weeks before start date.
