Would anyone like to read 1984 by George Orwell with me? I have the book already, but it's on my summer reading list for school along with a couple others, and I'm already started on Fahrenheit 451, but I should be ready to read 1984 in about a week (give or take. Anyone interested?

Great! When do you want to start reading it? (Oh, and I've never done buddy-read before, so I have no idea how these things work hehe sorry)

Well I have it on hold at the library so I should get it hopefully within 2 or 3 days and I can pretty much start anytime after that. You or I could make a new thread under the budding reading list so we could discuss the book there?

Ok, I'll try to be done with my current book by then. Sure, sounds great! Do you want to make the new thread, or should I? It doesn't matter to me either way

OMG YES! But I have been having some trouble finding it...none of the libraries have it...if you could give me a couple weeks to find a copy I would TOTALLY buddy read that with you!

Does anyone want to read war war z or thoughtless??

[Théo M.]

@K- great! When would you like to start?

[Théo M.]

Ok how about the 11th of July. I'll send you a message on the 10th to plan it out.

[Sapir]

I'll try to join you A and K!! I really want to read this book too.

[Théo M.]

Yay!!!

[Sapir]

Do you want to open a thread and discuss it here instead of PMing each other?

[Riya]

Just saying, if anyone really wants a buddy reader I can read almost anything (if it's available at my library) with you :D

[Sam]

@Riya I'd like to give it a bash as well! Have any books in mind ?

[Théo M.]

@Sapir- i don't mind

[Riya]

@Sam- I can't compare books with you because you're private, but if you want to look at my bookshelves and see if we have any books in common that could work :)
*Preferably something from my library shelf, or my tbr shelf if you want

[Sam]

Oh right I'll change that give me a sec

[Riya]

You don't have to- you can just friend me or something instead

[Riya]

So Sam, based on our to-read shelves we have: The Goddess Test, Partials, and Code Name Verity in common!

[Sam]

Well I'm reading Partials in a marathon on the 8th but I'd love to read Code Name Verity with you if you want... Or if you have any other book you would like to read, I can have a look at it and tell you what I think :)

[Riya]

We can do Code Name Verity! :D

[Helena]

Can someone explain to me what Buddy Reading exactly is? Is it like a group discussion about a book but with a buddy?

[Helena]

Sure :) How do we do this lol

[Riya]

Well, you guys should decide if there are any books you both want to read and then buddy read them!

[Théo M.]

@Helena- basically you find books you want to read. Ask if anyone wants to read it too, and if someone does you read it with them.

[Riya]

Haha we're amazing!

[Théo M.]

Sorry I'm on my phone so I didn't see that you already explained it. Sorry.

[Riya]

@Sam! Just letting you know that I created a discussion thread for us, but I haven't set a date- we can decide when the two of us get the book :D

[Helena]

Let me see what books I can suggest, then ill get back to you on this @CluelesslySweet

[Helena]

Here are my suggestions:
The Declaration by Gemma Malley
Tomorrow, When the War Began by John Marsden
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
Wide Awake by David Levithan
Going Bovine by Libba Bray
Love Is the Higher Law by David Levithan
Marcelo in the Real World by Francisco X. Stork

[Théo M.]

@Helena- ooh I want to read going bovine

[Helena]

@A I have an obsession with finding books where characters are going to die. I don't know why but I think, kinda knowing the characters fate, makes it easier for me to emotionally handle the ending.

[Riya]

Out of interest Helena, have you ever read the book thief, that's an amazing (yet super sad) book
If not, I recommend someone does a buddy read for that!

[Théo M.]

@Helena- YEAH ME TOO.

[Helena]

@CluelesslySweet Im up for it, looks like a good read.

[Théo M.]

@riya- I love that book so much. It was fantastic.

[Théo M.]

@cluelessly sweet + Helena- is it alright i join too I have a copy siting on my to-read bookshelf?

[Helena]

@Riya The Book Thief is one of my favorite books ever but I cant seem to find many books like it :/

[Helena]

@A its alright with me! And I could start this weekend, depending if my library has it.

[Théo M.]

@ Helena- some other time I can read going bovine with you.

[Riya]

SO many people loving the book thief :D :D :D and yeah- it was so amazing, that I haven't read a book that compares

[Helena]

When would be good with you @CluelesslySweet?

[Helena]

@Riya I see your profile says one of your favorites is The Kite Runner, was it any good?

[Théo M.]

[Helena]
