Have a book you want to read along with a few buddies? Feel free to post you title here and see if any others want to join in with you! This is the thread for "Quickie Buddy Reads," meaning you will probably be finished with the book within a few days. If you want to read it at a slower pace, be sure to post in the "Traditonal Buddy Reading" thread.

Have fun! :D

Kate (kaitlins16) This is where I'll probably post most of my requests, except for maybe classics.

I don't have any requests at the moment, but after next week, I'll have a lot more time to read books.

I thought that it would be a good idea to have two different types. I've joined Buddy Reads in other groups that were supposedly going to last a month and half of us finished in two days while the others lagged behind. other people have probably experienced this, too, so I hope this helps. Simmaron inspired me to work it out this way, lol.


message 4: by Simmaron (new)

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments ;) Well for now my requests would be placed here and after a while I'll become traditional. Lol. But well done Britt. You chose innovative names :D (Y)


message 5: by Simmaron (new)

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments I'm going to read Destroy Me and Shatter Me!! Anyone up for that? ;) I'll start it very soon.


message 6: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) I'll probably have a list of about eight books to put here near the end of this week. I have no idea what they will be yet, though.


message 7: by Carmen (new)

Carmen I've read shatterme but i havent started destroy me i'm going to see if i can get it


message 8: by Simmaron (new)

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments Carmen it'd be fun two more are joining us. Destroy me is the novella written from Warner's POV. If you can't get that then we'll start Unravel Me. That's not a prob!!


message 9: by Carmen (new)

Carmen i think that a friend have both I´m going to ask her. i really enjoy Shatter me :D


message 10: by Carmen (new)

Carmen yep she have them, tomorrow i´ll have them :))


message 11: by Simmaron (new)

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments Cool. Confirm me when you get that. But mind you the two ppl who'll be joining us including me are quite a quick readers. We might finish it off till 31st. Today is 27. We'll start it tomorrow(most probably). One is novella it's short and the other one would take a day and a half to the most. :)


message 12: by Carmen (new)

Carmen I´m sure i can make it :D


message 13: by Simmaron (new)

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments @Legend You ready to start it on 28? Unravel me or Destroy Me? Reply as soon as u come online.


message 14: by Simmaron (new)

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments @Carmen Great ;)


message 15: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) I've got a list of books that I have a goal of rereading here. I'm good with reading almost any of them during June, July, and August. (I don't have copies of The Pledge and The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, so I have to wait until I can get them to read them.)


message 16: by Simmaron (new)

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments I half read the second mara dyer book. But I left it halfway. I didn't enjoy it more than the first one. There isn't any clue so far of what she is or what's happening to her. First one was much better!!


message 17: by Carmen (new)

Carmen I loved both although i almost went crazy reading them


message 18: by Simmaron (new)

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments They're quite long ;) :D


message 19: by Carmen (new)

Carmen long books are the best :D


Julia Griffis - The Romance Bibliophile (theromancebibliophile) @Simmaron I can try to start reading Unravel Me on the 28th. I just started to re-read Shatter Me, so I might me a little behind you and whoever else is joining us. I'll be sure to comment when possible!


message 21: by Simmaron (new)

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments No problem. Hope u can make it :/


message 22: by Kate (new)

message 24: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) How about we read Betting on Fate on Saturday?


ali  ᵏᵉᵉᵖ ʸᵒᵘʳ ᵐᵒᵘᵗʰ ˢʰᵘᵗ (time_wont_fly) Okay. I'll try. I might not be able to get it by then, but I'll try. :D


message 26: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) If not, then we can go for Breathe.

You're gonna love Let the Sky Fall! And is Storm a reread?


message 28: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) No. I haven't read any of those books yet. I'm looking forward to them all. :)


message 29: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 3369 comments Mod
I can't believe you haven't read Brigid Kemmerer yet! You're gonna love them. Her third book, Spirit, came out today. We need to do a buddy read of that when you get to it. ;D

I'm sorry, but I can't get it early today, if today at all, but I might get it later. Once I read Betting on Fate, I will get back to you. :) Sorry!


message 31: by Simmaron (new)

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments I've created a thread for Spirit Bound (VA). Pls participate in the discussion even if you've read the book.


message 32: by Simmaron (new)

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments Anyone wants to accompany me for Wings series by Aprilynne Pikes?


message 33: by Baker (new)

Baker (thewind) | 208 comments anybody reading the midhignters: the secret hour?


message 34: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) Oh, my . . . somewhere is actually planning on reading that series? I don't think I've seen that on here yet! (I feel like hardly anyone knows about it.) Great series!

I'm already really busy with reading other books, but someone should really read that with her!

Hey, if no one shows any interest, maybe I can squeeze in a reread . . . :)


message 35: by Baker (new)

Baker (thewind) | 208 comments OK :-). Scott westerfeld is one of my favorite authors, otherwise I don't think I would've found this book!


message 36: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) He's one of my favorites too. I think part of why he is is the midnighters trilogy. Then, the Leviathan series came along, and that just made me like his writing even more. I also liked the uglies series, but if I had only read those books by him, he probably wouldn't be a favorite.


message 37: by Baker (new)

Baker (thewind) | 208 comments yeah leviathan series is on my to read list, is it good?


message 38: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) Oh yeah. It's one of my favorites.


message 39: by Baker (new)

Baker (thewind) | 208 comments great I will make sure to read it this summer!!


message 40: by Simmaron (new)

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 459 comments So I was going to read Bloodlines series by Richelle Mead. Anyone wants to accompany me?

Cool, Shavony! That sounds great! It gives me a week or so to finish up what I'm currently reading! Just PM and let me know when you would like to start. =)
