Buddy Reads Requests

[Lynn, Moderator]

Use this folder for buddy read requests and to work out when you'd like to start. Once agreed, start your own thread to discuss the book.

The rules are there are pretty much no rules. You just need one other member to read the book with you. Then it's up to you to decide when and how.
No restrictions on dates, no restrictions on how long it takes to read, no restrictions on how you discuss the book (you can have a set schedule, you can discuss as you read or you can discuss at the end). It's all up to you!

Don't forget to set up a thread once a date has been agreed.
A calender of agreed Buddy Reads can be found here http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

So I'll start .....

I plan to read in May, does anyone want to join me?

[Anima]

I'm going to read the first part of Graceling series this month, so it would be really nice to have a buddy read of the second part in May with you Lynn, if you accept my proposal of course :)

[Lynn, Moderator]

Of course Anima, everyone is welcome! I look forward to reading it with you (and maybe others) in May.

[Anima]

Thank you :)

[Alycia]

That's one that looks interesting to me as well...I'll have to read the first one and see what I think! :)

[Tracey]

I have this on my shelf Lynn so will join in if thats ok

[Lynn, Moderator]

Of course Tracey, more than welcome :)

Alycia - I hope you get chance to read the first one (I can highly recommend it) and you get to join us reading Fire.

[Alycia]

I downloaded it to my Nook last night...just got to finish 2 other books first. lol

[Lynn, Moderator]

I know that feeling :)

[Jojo]

I just got a copy of The Great Gatsby, anyone want to buddy read it with me?

[Lynn, Moderator]

There's been a few people in the suggestions thread who've wanted to read The Great Gatsby (as you've maybe already seen), so hopefully you'll get some takers Joanne.

For the Fire readers, do we want to start at the beginning of May on the 1st or set a date a bit later in the month?

[Anirudh]

I would love to read The Great Gatsby.I love classics !
but I'll have to order it...

I don't have any reading schedule for May yet, so I can accept any starting date given :)

I'd like to join in on reading this book with you guys, too. And any date in May would work for me. :)

The 1st fine by me looking forward to it Lynn :O)

[Lynn, Moderator]

So it seems the 1st is ok with everyone for Fire, so that's when we'll start.

Good to have you Amanda :)

Great!!

Have ordered the book ! will get it in a few days ...

[Jojo]

I have started a folder for The Great Gatsby :)

[Lynn, Moderator]

Oh yeah, I meant to do that for Fire and totally forgot! lol

Done now http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

[Lynn, Moderator]

Ok, so even before we start , there is talk to do a buddy read for the third in the series, .

Who wants to join me and Vanessa? When do we think we should start it?

[Anima]

You can definitely count me in :), is it possible to start early June as there is a lot to read in May already?

[Ines911]

I'm starting Graceling. I should be done to read Fire with you starting May :D

[Kristie, Moderator]

I agree. I was hoping to do a buddy read for Bitterblue in June too. I think it will be fun to continue right after Fire. Then, I'd like to buddy read When She Woke in July or August for anyone interested in that. :)

[Anima]

So, I confirm my part in buddy read of When She Woke :)

[Savanes]

You guys are killing me: June!!!!!!! :'( Ok I'll try to wait... It helps that the trilogy is not really a trilogy but more or less 3 stories set in the "same" world!

[Kristie, Moderator]

Sorry Vanessa!! We need to catch up to you! I'm glad you're doing the buddy read with us. :)

[Savanes]

I'm glad too! :D

[Lynn, Moderator]

LOL Vanessa, sorry we're such slow coaches! ;o)

So it seems we'll be doing Bitterblue buddy read in June and When She Woke buddy read in July. I will put a start date of 1st of each month unless someone has an objection to that.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Sounds good to me!

[Anima]

The dates suite me too :)

[Tracey]

I am in for Fire on may 1st and Bitterblue June 1st will have to look at When She Woke as I promised my daughter I would read the book she got me for mothers day Gone with the Wind which was March 10th ( she saved her pocket money up for it ). If I can possibly do this buddy read I will though .

[Lynn, Moderator]

Aw that's such a cute story Tracey :)
