Ok, sure! This is my first buddy read, so I'm not exactly sure how it's supposed to work. Should we follow some kind of schedule? I'll add you and we'll discuss on the TM page. :)

message 168: by Danisha (new)

Danisha | 16 comments I've been corresponding back and forth with Geri And we've decided to start our "Informal Buddy Read" for August 14th. We were wondering if any of the Moderators would be able to start a thread for us. The book we are reading is Becoming Human (Exilon 5, #1) by Eliza Green Becoming Human by Eliza Green

Below is my previous post with all the information if anyone else would like to join before next month :D...Thanks Guys



Information Below

Hi Everyone,

Becoming Human (Exilon 5, #1) by Eliza Green

Been here a for about a week or so now and I wanted to give Buddy Reads a try. I've had this book laying around on my currently reading shelf since last year. The book seemed interesting from the few pages I read its just I'm not really an e-book reader. I love the feel of a book in my hands but I've been getting a lot of free e-books lately so gonna have to get used to the feel of my iPad.

This book can be downloaded for free from:

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...

https://www.bookbub.com/books/becomin...

Also once you have downloaded the book on page 2 there will be a link where you can get the two prequels to this book for free ebooks as well. All you have to do is follow the link and sign up for Eliza Green's newsletter. I've received the first prequel via e-mail, just waiting for the second one. Each prequel is about 55-66 pages depending on which platform you use.

Echoes of Earth (Exilon 5, #0.5) by Eliza Green New Origin (Exilon 5, #0.6) by Eliza Green

*Anyone who feels like joining in on Becoming Human (Exilon 5, #1) by Eliza Green does not have to read the prequels. I'm also up for anyone whos interested in leading the group as well since it is my first time.

I am available to start this anytime no rush I know a lot of reading is going on :D

Thank you, Mods. Also, what kind of buddy read is this? (A buddy read with a discussion leader and questions, a relaxed buddy read with fewer questions or an informal buddy read )

Eunice, this thread is a revisit so it has comments from another discussion. Just scroll down to the end of the thread where a big cover picture is.

Danisha | 16 comments Hello MODs I've been corresponding back and forth with Geri And we were wondering if a discussion group can be created for an Informal Buddy Read on August 14th for Becoming Human by Eliza Green

Becoming Human (Exilon 5, #1) by Eliza Green

Anyone else who is interesting in reading this book is welcomed to join. There are two Prequels that are very short (45 pages and are also free to download) but are not mandatory. I will be adding a short summary for each with key details. Thanks again, hope everyone enjoys their books and discussions.
