Victoria Scott | 466 comments Is anyone keen to read one of the Harry Potter books? Probably the first one, but I don't mind doing a later one if you guys wanted to buddy that :)


message 28: by Angie (new)

Angie deWitt What even is buddy reading?

Felicia | 15003 comments Angie wrote: "What even is buddy reading?"

Buddy reading is when you and at least one other person agree to read the same book or series at the same time. You ask a mod, such as myself or any of the other girls, on the “buddy read thread request” thread for a thread of whatever book you are buddying reading. You will tell us a start date and we will make a thread for you. You must then comment on the thread five times with your updates while reading the book. You then get the allotted number of points for a buddy read for whatever challenge you are participating in.


Laura (acquariusgb) (acquariusgb) | 442 comments Hi everyone!Happy new year and happy 2018 reading! : )

Is this Harry Potter buddy read thread still valid? https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I would like to continue my harry potter reread. My next one is number 3

For January 2018 new release I was thinking about reading The Cruel Prince since it's also the book of the month.

Then I'm also reading The Ship of the Dead for 3. Finish a series that I have started

I will ask the other mods about your HP thread question and get back to you.


message 32: by Felicia (new)

Felicia | 15003 comments @Laura, that thread is okay for you to use for your HP reads. We recommend looking for a buddy to make the discussion more fun. Since it seems like your original buddy never commented.

Happy reading! :D

message 40: by Felicia (new)

Felicia | 15003 comments @Vanessa, The Cruel Prince is the January BOTM. If you participate in that thread (linked below) you'll get two points for reading that book instead of just one. (:

I also plan on reading that one as well. :D

Books can only be used in one category. But you can repeat categories for different books.

Victoria Scott | 466 comments Okay Laura, all good if we start Tuesday 9th? If that's okay, can you ask for the thread to be changed? :)
