I’m hoping you can help me solve a mystery. My friend has a beautiful daughter called Kylie, and the other day we were talking about how she chose the name. She said she took it from a book she was reading about a teenager who got pregnant. She couldn’t remember much about it but she is from the states so it would need to have been published there. Her little girl is now 15 so I’m guessing it would have needed to be out by around 2002. She said she thinks it was set in the Deep South and the girls parents reacted badly to her getting pregnant. Not much to go on and my googling is getting no results, can anyone help or advise?! Thank youuuuu
Maybe try looking through some of the listopia lists about teenage pregnancy?

It might not be on there but it's worth a shot ☺

when I was growing up I asked my dad for advice when I had english homework(english being my second language as am norwegian) and now he often asks me what certain words mean.
Tables turning :)

Yes I have bought books simply because of titles, or first lines.

Start where it feels easiest.
If you really want to buddy read a spesific book go to the buddy read wanted threads and see if anyone else wants to read it with you. If you are curios about the reading challanges go there.
You simply have to start somewhere.

Determination is good. Have you tried all the different formats of reading? Cause I have found that sometimes works. :)

I think my problem was that I stopped reading for fun and made it a chore, so I've decided if I'm bored, I'm not going to force it anymore!

Awesome! And you are just in time for the new challenge as well! :)

Me! I've been trying since the new year. I'm currently still on the same book. HP1 but I haven't given up! ^_^

I got through maybe like 30% of my book audio and then ended up reading the rest. My friend told me try to use an audio that I've previously read before to get used to listening to someone reading them.

That's why I wanted to try HP! That and I hadn't been able to re-read them despite trying many times. :)


Do you ever just think that you neglect your bookshelves? Bc same. I'm so wrapped up in ebooks and netgalley arcs I'm forgetting about my physical books

I am doing a translation of idioms :D super fun BTW.
It would be very helpful if you guys write in the comments your favorite idiom or one that is used very often in your town.
Thank you in advance♥
Los estoy traduciendo a español mexicano y al español dominicano ♥♥ Esta súper padreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

I developed a chrome extension to replace the new tab page by your book shelves.
Let me know if you like it :)

Starting a buddy reading book club on discord if anyone is interested. You can join here:
https://discord.gg/g3Z6jaD
Once we figure out who is interested we can poll on a book to read. See ya there :)

I'm a bit new around here, and was hoping I'd be able to talk to you guys/ask some questions about your experiences with Buddy Reading in general -- the parts you love, the parts you like a bit less, and everything in between!
Let me know if you'd be up to answering a few questions (or if there's a better/more appropriate spot to ask something like this lol).
Cheers,
Curtis

I have a love hate relationship with buddy reads. I mostly really love the points and hate the talking but sometimes I just can't wait to talk to someone about a book too. It really depends on the book and the person I'm reading with.
I can answer a few questions for you if you want. As long as I have the answer! lol.

Hi -- thanks, Anna :D
I appreciate you getting back to me so quickly! I definitely see what you mean about not want to wait -- I totally feel that lol
I'll send you a direct message!

Thanks but I already knew that. Like idk how to find stuff and other stuff like all the book recommendation pages & how to do buddy reading etc. But it’s okay I’ll figure it out. Thanks for the help anyway 😃

Like a specific book thread?
Where to find a buddy read partner?
Where the challenge link for the current month/upcoming month is?

I’m going to read some of the important info first and then I’ll ask questions cause I didn’t realize they were there. 😅

I have to say I'm more of a summergirl myself :) But it does sound pretty nice!
