If you don't feel like reading a certain book alone, request a buddy!
1) Just post a comment here including the link to the book(s) you want to read (and the date of the month you favor)
2) When you find someone willing to read the book(s) with you, discuss the pace at which you want to read, for example, 5 chapters per week, set a deadline, or just read at your own pace.
3) Create a new topic (include the title of the book and the month in which you'll be reading the book in the topic) in the folder 'planned buddy reads' once everything is settled! But make sure that there isn't an already existing buddy read of the same book going on (type in the name of the book in the 'search discussion posts' on the right side of the homepage)
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact one of the moderators, and they'll make sure to answer any of your inquiries.
Happy reading!

Depending on how fast I can get the book, I would definitely be interested in The Hate U Give. :)

Yes!! I'd like to start reading it on June 30th, is that okay with you? We don't have to set a pace or anything, but I like the idea of starting a book at the same time and maybe fangirling a little bit afterwards XD

It depends on whether or not Mandy has gotten her copy yet. I don't mind reading it before the 23rd ;)

No? I mean, I literally have no idea how long it'd take me to finish a book 😂 The one who finishes first can start a small discussion to unburden their feels. We can start one whenever, actually. So long as we point out which chapter we're discussing as to not spoil each other. I'M SO EXCITED!!

I've already read SoC, but I'll read Crooked Kingdom soon. Maybe we could buddy read that after you've finished SoC?

If I wasn't doing #TheReadingQuest I totally would have buddy read 2 of these with you!! Oh but there is an option in the Quest to do a buddy read, so I can get back to you when I reach that point? For maybe Graceling or The Winner's Curse?
