General Buddy Read Requests

[Judy]

Kristie, if I don’t get going on it and end up returning, then we are on for August.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Sounds good, Judy!

[Savanes]

I'm interested in Pachinko too Judy... Any time this month is good for me.

[Judy]

@Savanes. I should finish the two in my queue by the 7th ish. So how about Monday the 9th? Are you flexible in case I finish the two I’m in sooner?

[Savanes]

Judy, that's perfect! I'll open the thread tomorrow unless you want to go ahead.

[Judy]

Hey Savanes, go ahead if you don’t mind.

[Savanes]

The thread is open Judy... I was thinking of making a schedule: about 50 pages (10%) per day. In that way, we can read at the same pace. What do you think?

[Judy]

That sounds great!

[Niall]

I was thinking of starting Dooms Day Book this week, but I can certainly wait up for a better time. For now I'd enjoy joining you for Pachinko.

It will be great to have you Niall.

[Niall]

I look forward to it.

[Judy]

When is the doomsday buddy read starting? I got the book from the library.

[Judy]

Does anyone want to buddy for ‘A Column Of Fire’ Ken Follett. Sorry I’m on my phone and can’t link it.

[Blanche]

I would like to join the buddy read list

[Kristie, Moderator]

Hi Blanche! We don’t have a separate list for buddy read participants. Everyone is welcome to join. If there is a book you’d like to read and discuss with others, you just post it in this thread and if someone else would like to read it also we can set up a discussion thread.

[Savanes]

Kristie and I are thinking of doing a buddy read for The Alice Network in January. Who's in?

I'm thinking January 5th or 12th. What do you think Kristie?

[Kristie, Moderator]

I have something going on the weekend of the 5th, but I could do the 12th.

[Savanes]

The 12th it is then.

[Judy]

I will join this read also.

[Judy]

Anyone have something they want to squeeze in before the year is up? I have several and am open to suggestions.

[Savanes]

@judy great to have you with us. I will try to open the thread later today. What are the books you have in mind?

:) Thanks for setting up the thread, Savanes.

Just a heads up - I started the 2019 buddy reads folder, so I moved the discussion for The Alice Network there. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

How funny. I just finished The Memory Box. I will be SOOO curious to hear what you think.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Oh no... I just read your review, Vicki. I suppose it good that I know about the confusion going into into it. Lol That’s not really my kind of book, but I got it from NetGalley a long time ago and figure I should at least give it a shot. I noticed the reviews weren’t good, but I’ve been holding out hope because the blurb sounded so good.

[Persephone6]

Just started a buddy read of The Book Thief and set up the link today if anyone else wants to join :)

[Kristie, Moderator]

I'd love to read The Book Thief, but I just don't have time right now. Sorry, Persephone6. Maybe someone else will join you.

[Persephone6]

Opps, I couldn't find my earlier post for a second; accidentally double posted... And, thanks Kristie :)

[Judy]

I would like to squeeze in ‘We Were The Lucky Ones’ before it’s due. It took forever to get. Then The Alice Network with the group next month.

[Savanes]

I'm interested in We Were the Lucky Ones. When do you want to start?

[Judy]

Today? Lol

[Savanes]

Judy wrote: "Today? Lol"

If you can wait a bit, I can start next Saturday.

[Savanes]

@Judy : Are we still on for we were the lucky ones? Otherwise I'll start something else. :)

[Judy]

Yes definitely.

[Savanes]

Ok i'll set up the thread and start today! 😊
