Just in case you missed your Owl Mail, we are opening the NBRC Back Room Group for buddy reads for the duration of Tower Teams.

You can join here - the back room is for anyone wishing to join in buddy reads that are for books with a mature or clearly adult content, in a reserved space, out of range of our underage members

How do you know if it has adult content?

Elen - I really wanted Truly Devious to win too! Let’s start June 20. If that doesn’t work for you, we can modify later.

I would be willing to do that, but I need to order it from the library (most likely). Can we set it for a week or two out?

Absolutely! Thanks, Morgan. :) How about if we set it up for May 28? I already own it ($2.51 on Kindle) so any time works for me. If you have a different preferred date in mind, any day is good.

Hi Vicki; I think you are playing towers (from an earlier comment) feel free to ask your captain any questions you might have as most of them are veterans! You may always scroll the threads to maybe find any answers to your questions or feel free to message the mod account. We are happy you are enjoying the group.

Not sure on your question. Are you asking if buddy reads can be started before the date they are to start?

If thats your question; the answer is yes. You just won't get points for the buddy read until someone interacts with you as that is the point of a buddy read ( interaction & discussion)
