Buddy Reads Requests

[Kristie, Moderator]

I started a thread for the buddy read of The 5th Wave starting August 1. The link is here http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

[Savanes]

Sorry guys, I was sleeping (finally).
Here are the threads:
The selection (August 15 : Wish granted Lynn) : http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...
A walk across the sun (September 1st): http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...
Of course Sarah, you are MORE than welcome to join :)

[Sarah]

Yeah. So excited. Once again I have sooooooo much to read.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Vanessa - I may join in one of those, but I have so much to read already that I can't commit yet. They both look interesting! I have A Walk Across the Sun on my TBR list, but I'm also back in school then.

[Anima]

Kristie, thank you for starting the thread on the 5th Wave :)

[Kristie, Moderator]

Anima - You're welcome! I think it was just the two of us for that one, though Vanessa may join us and I think a couple others may be interested. Does August still work for you? I could do it earlier, if you wanted. I already have it on hold at the library. But August works for me as well.

Is anyone else planning to join this buddy read? Does the date work for you?

[Anima]

August is fine, I have a summer break then and some extra free time to read :), together with other reads :)

[Kristie, Moderator]

Ok :)

If I can get a copy in August then I will join you :)

[Kristie, Moderator]

Excellent!

[Anima]

That would be great, Joanne :) The more the merrier :)

I'm joining you too .... with spoilers galore! :D

[Kristie, Moderator]

Oh! I'm looking forward to those!! :D

[Anima]

Lynn, it's going to add so much more emotions to our read, I'm certain of it :). Reading Fire that way proved to be highly energetic to me LOL

[ElvenRaven]

There are so many that I want to read! I'm in for , , and . I'll probably join you for if I can squeeze it in.
I've already read but I'll comment on the discussion if I have the time.

[Kristie, Moderator]

That's great Cin! Happy to have you on board for those. :)

[Alycia]

I definitely want to join in with The 5th Wave! :)

[Kristie, Moderator]

I'm so glad! It looks like that buddy read is going to be quite a bit bigger than I thought, which is very exciting.

[Anima]

Alycia, I'm really happy you're joining us :)

[Anima]

Cin, thanks for joining :)

[Mary]

Hi im reading posts on how many books some people are reading. I would like to join in.is it a certain series or whatever we have . Please let me know.
Thanks Mary

[Kristie, Moderator]

Hi Mary - This is the thread to ask people if they would like to read a certain book with you or to see what other books people are looking for buddies to read with. The link to the scheduled reads so far is here: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1.... There are start dates and individual threads for each of the books listed to discuss. Please feel free to join any of the planned reads!

[Lynn, Moderator]

Thanks Kristie :)

[Susan]

We Need to Talk About Kevin has been on my TBR for a while. I feel like this is the type of book I'd like to discuss immediately after reading. Anyone interested in buddying up?

[Lynn, Moderator]

It's definitely a good discussion book Susan. I've already read it so won't be a buddy for you unfortunately, but hopefully someone will be interested :)

[Cathie]

Hi Susan; when would you like to start reading We Need to Talk About Kevin?

[Susan]

@Cathie I'd say probably June 1st? I have 2 other books that I'd like to finish by the end of May. Thanks!

@Lynn I look forward to hearing your thoughts after I've read! The movie was delightfully disturbing and I can imagine how amazing the book must be.

[Cathie]

Awww sorry Susan; I'm hoping to read it by the end of this month (for another book club requirement here on Goodreads).

If I don't get it read in time, I will join you; I won't know until about the 20th of this month.

[Susan]

Ok - I might be able to do that! When were you planning to start?

[Cathie]

Somewhere between the 20th and 24th of May, Susan? I don't want to commit just yet, because of all the other reads I have to get through...but that's what I'm hoping for.

[Susan]

Alright, let's touch base next week and see where we're both at. Good luck with your other reads!

[Cathie]

Thanks Susan; you too :-). I'm still on hold at the library for Talk About Kevin, so who knows...it may be June before I can get to read it :-)

[Karen ⊰✿]

I'm keen on reading this

which was also one of the finalists in the Fiction category.
I've had a look through the bookshelves of this group, it doesn't seem to be on the list to be read by the group. So I thought I'd see if anyone interested in a buddy read? I'm thinking the end of July.

[Cathie]

Tell the Wolves I'm Home is a great read Karen. I've already read it earlier this year and it is one of my favorite non-fantasy fiction books this year.

I am interested and late July is perfect if I forgo the group read with travel, which is fine with me. I really want to read this this year so I am so glad to have a buddy and this time works good.

Susan
I also really want to read this book. So I would do beginning of June or last week of May? Or whatever.

I really want to read that too. I'm don't think I will have the time in July, so I can't commit right now, but if I'm somehow able to get to it I'll join in.

[Sarah]

So excited to see some books on here I really want to read. And before August - that is when I am gonna be really swamped.

[Karen ⊰✿]

Great Cathie - makes me more interested to read it now :)

@Sarah: I have made a discussion thread here to start July 22 although I can change the date if that doesn't suit
@Kristie - Hopefully you'll be able to join us. I know how difficult it can be to fit books in!

[Susan]

@Sarah - Let's do it! And hopefully Cathie can join us :)

[Sarah]

OK. LET ME KNOW WHEN. AND A THREAD NEEDS TO BE SET UP.

Sounds great

[Susan]

@Sarah - I started a thread for June 2013.

@Cathie - Hopefully you can join us :)

[Cathie]

So far it's looking like a possibilty; the book is still in other people's hands ;-)

[Brightness]

Joanne and I are doing a buddy read for Rebecca in October. Anyone else interested?

[Karen ⊰✿]

I have always wanted to read that Karlee. So, yep, put me down! ;)

[Brightness]

Yay Karen! :)

[Brightness]

Here is the thread for Rebecca

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

[Sarah]

October first might just work for me. OK Sarah (note to self) NO MORE BUDDY READS FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. I think I am biting off more than I can chew. I am definitely breaking a record this year for how many books I have read in a year.

[Brightness]

Sarah, I think I may be breaking my record too!
