Find someone to buddy read a book with! Here is all you have to do:
1) Write the names of the books you own and haven't read or the books that you are planning on reading.
2) Wait for someone to tell you that they were planning on reading one of the books you've chosen as well.
3) Pick a date with that person (or people) to start reading the book.
4) Ask for a thread here.
5) I will create the thread any you may start reading!

via (aprettyfruit) | 46 comments I download new ebooks onto iBooks everyday so I'm sort of all over the place when it comes to reading new books because I NEVER KNOW what to open and start reading! But, I'm thinking of starting Winter (The Lunar Chronicles) soon!


message 5: by via (new)

via (aprettyfruit) | 46 comments Hey, I'm readings Firstlife in April perhaps because I had preordered it in February and never got the chance to read it! I have already finished Lady Midnight (IT IS SO GOOD) and maybe I'll start Hollow City? I didn't exactly enjoy the first book (MPHFPC) but who knows?

Hey Skye! I'm about to finish Winter so I don't think I should start a buddy read for that, but what about Firstlife? Around what day in April are you planning on getting it?

Yeah, I've heard its excellent. It's my sister. Lauren's, favorite series.


message 23: by BLT (new)

BLT @Sarah & @Catarina
Hey guys since we all want to read Cinder in the month of April what would be a good time for you to finish this book?

How about we decide to finish this book for Saturday April 23rd?

If that's to much or not enough time we can modify the date without a problem :)


Catarina (TravelerBetweenWorlds) (travelerbetweenworlds) | 19 comments @Cleo
For me all good :) I might finish it sooner than 23rd, it depends of how many books I will read in the month of April .
And how is this going to be? Is there any place to discuss it?
Sorry, I'm new with this...


message 25: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (sarahforsman_) Ok I'll try to finish by then, I'm a very slow reader and also have to read for my English class so I may or may not finish but I hope to ☺️

@Catarina & @ Sarah

For the starting date it depends on how fast we read..
So how about you decide it @Sarah ?
That way we can make sure we finish it around the same time :)
