Tabitha E Hi I am now to this group!! Getting some books out of a library today so will need some reading buddies later on. They will most likely be romance 😂

Chloe Fuell Hi everyone
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?

I just think its so fun to think about
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.


Michelle Buvoir d'Encre | 175 comments Hi everyone! I'm a long time goodreads user but I've never been in a group before! This looks like SO MUCH FUN I can't believe I missed out on doing this before now. I have exactly one friend in real life who is as into reading as me and I need more people to nerd out with desperately! I've been looking around the group page but there's so much I'm a little over whelmed, does anyone have any advice on where to start? I love the idea of the challenges and buddy reading. -Thanks in advance!

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.

Hey another random share from me.
https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...
^^ is a group I made in late 2017, the idea is to read authors we want to read together, it can be Dickens or Meg Cabot. just any author you want to read but you never seem to get to. Also if you read some if the author but want to reread them with the group feel free to join as well. We have challanges and fun games as well.
Its not very active so am trying to get more people to join so it becomes more active.

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!

Andrea Ahn | 408 comments Random share, I just started reading audio books (as once a month at least I usually drive for vacation about 6 hours away, and then 6 hours back) I figured why listen to the same songs on each trip, and try something new. Anyone else listening to audio books?

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. :)

Curtis Weidner | 2 comments Hi Everyone :)

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

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments Hi! Welcome to the group!

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.

We also have monthly challenges you can participate in.

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 😃

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments What stuff do you want to find?

Like a specific book thread?

Where to find a buddy read partner?

Where the challenge link for the current month/upcoming month is?
