Buddy Read Scheduling Topic - Place Your Buddy Read Requests Here!

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

Here is the place for members to plan buddy reads.

This topic is to be used for two things only :

1. Requesting a buddy read
2. Planning the date for a buddy read to start

Any book discussions should be moved to the appropriate buddy read or series topic.

[Gwennie]

This thread is officially open.

Please see Stacia's post above regarding how this thread should work.

The first upcoming buddy read is for on July 1st. It will be discussed in the series topic for Daughter of Smoke and Bone, located in the PNR/Urban Fantasy folder.

*edit* the date for DoBaS has been pushed back to roughly start late Wednesday/early Thursday, July 3/4.

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

And I just realized that Thurday is the 4th of July for those of us who celebrate in the states. *smack forehead*

Yeah, at least a few of us are going to be dragging this buddy read out for a while, haha.

[Jenny]

I totally forgot about that buddy read but I'll see if I can squeeze it in this week/weekend. I'm going on vacation in a week and that book is on my bookshelf, but I only plan on bringing the Kindle with me.

[Jen Hill]

I'm sorry but what is a buddy read? Is this different from a group read?

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

It's just an informal instance of a couple (or few) people getting together and reading and discussing a book together, which is of their own choosing.

The group reads are a group activity. Nominations are from the group, voted on by the group, and read together as a group.

[Carina]

So it looks like a few ladies are getting together to buddy in Oct 21st before the movie is released.
I'm placing this here as a reminder and invitation for others =)

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

Thanks Carina!

Are those who are wanting to re-read Catching Fire before the movie wanting to do it in September or October?

[Gwennie]

Thanks Carina, totally forgot to post it in here!

[Carina]

Lol, no problem ladies! for once, I was usefult ;)

How about if we read Catching Fire in the first days of November. That's close enough to release of movie, but gives enough time for us slower readers =)

[Sandra]

Wendy, Rachel, Nicole, Jen: we had half arranged a
buddy reading for the first week of September.

Do you think we can do it on Sep 2? Is it OK for you, ladies?

Everybody interested on it it's welcomed!

[Amanda]

That is a series I was planning to start in the near future. May I join in on the group read?

[Sandra]

Of course! You are very welcomed, Amanda.

[Rachel]

That sounds good to me. Thanks for the reminder Sandra!

[Gwennie]

I think I can do the 2nd or around there. It's a super busy week for me but I can probably start it. I'll put it on my scheduler. Also, for anyone that is joining us, we'll go ahead and do it in the Fire and Thorns thread in the Fantasy folder. :)

[Sandra]

Taking into account the time zone difference and that I never get started with one book without having finished the former, 'around there' it's more or less when I'll start it.

[Sandra]

You're welcome, Rachel. It's really nice to have you, ladies, for yet another promising series.

[Sandra]

I'll start tomorrow. Anyone interested in join me it's welcomed. Sorry for the short notice!

[Gwennie]

Man, I've read it multiple times and I'm STILL tempted. I never even made it through Girl of Fire and Thorns.

[[deleted user]]

Oh man, I would love to jump in on that one Sandra but I'm just not quite prepared. Hoping to read that one really soon though. Have fun!

[Sandra]

Hehe Wendy, don't worry if it doesn't fit you now. I'll leave some random thoughts in the series' thread and you can try and join me later with Froi * ;) wink, wink*, if I go on with the series.

Thank you Kira. I usually take some break between YA and Fantasy novels so maybe you can catch me up at Froi of the Exiles.

[Gwennie]

Just remember that Finnikin is pretty good, but Froi is a whole new level.

[Kim]

Wendy F wrote: "Just remember that Finnikin is pretty good, but Froi is a whole new level."

I second this. Quintana was awesome too. Have fun! :)

[Jenny]

I *might* be up for Froi when you get there.

[Sandra]

Hehe, I know, I know. I added Finnikin to my list after seeing everyone love Froi and Quintana so much. I hope I like Finnikin too! Thank you guys!

[Sandra]

Jenny wrote: "I *might* be up for Froi when you get there."

Wonderful, I'll let you know, Jenny.

[Diane]

I'll do Froi when that comes around. I have been wanting to read it but so much else gets in the way. It will give me the excuse to buy it and get on with the series.

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

I might consider Froi as well. I read Finnikin a while ago but never continued on with the series.

[Robin]

Kira and I are going to start Magic Rises sometime early next week if anyone else wants to jump in.

[[deleted user]]

I just bought my copy and I was happy to see it's one of Amazon's $3.99 books for the month.

[Gwennie]

I do need to read that one.

[Robin]

Join in the fun then Wendy.

[Sandra]

I'll be probably starting by next Tuesday just in case someone want to join me.

[Courtney]

Sandra I noticed you are starting book 2 in the Fire and Thorns trilogy. I have already read that but I just how got book 3 and would love a buddy for it! :-)

[Sandra]

Definitely I'll be starting book 2 tomorrow (I'm about to finish a book which I've been struggling with). I'll come back here to let you know when I start book 3. Probably Nov, though.

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

Was this Monday, the 21st supposed to be the day for the buddy read of ?

[Jenny]

I think so, yeah. I don't remember the exact date just that it was this month.

[Gwennie]

That's what I have on my calendar.

[Robin]

Hi everyone so comes out November 19. I'm going to re-read before the release. I was thinking of doing a buddy read starting the week before maybe starting Nov 11

Let me know if you are interesting in joining along.

[Hillary]

I'll reread it. It's been so long I only have a vague recollection of the major events in it. Need the refresher.

[Robin]

Yay Hillary!

[Jenny]

I will probably join in.

Meeeeee! (Because I'll probably forget release day if I don't)

Also joining Book Thief after I finish Gone Girl :)

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

What's weird is that I think I'm already re-reading Angelfall on the 11th with other friends, so I think I'll have no problem doing a double discussion here too. :p

There is a topic for Book Thief already in the historical fiction folder where we can discuss, so we don't need to make a new topic. Spoiler tags are still going to be used though. Here is the link : https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Robin]

Sweet Stacia, so you are in as well. I'll send out reminders to everyone that chooses to join in on Nov 9th.

I'm excited!
