Buddy-reads
That sounds like an awesome idea! I'm definitely interested!
What books would you guys want to read? I have a massive TBR pile that I'd love to get through. :)
No kidding! My To-Read shelf is at a whopping 929 and growing!

but im up for anything, even if i have to buy a new book :)
I own quite a few books I haven't read - so a few more suggestions? Eleanor & Park, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, Burn for Burn, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, The Perks of Being a Wallflower,Wicked Lovely, and The Host, etc.
I think Hush Hush, City of Bones, and Uglies is out of the picture - I've already read them! And, I haven't read If I Stay before!
I'm also up to reading anything!
I've read Eleanor & Park, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Host from Christine's list and only Four: A Divergent Story Collection, Paper Towns and Uglies from Megan's. (I enjoyed all of them too! There is a few that I wouldn't mind re-reading at some point either!)I'd be interested in reading something by Jenny Han as I've not read anything by her before and she seems super popular, ditto with Colleen Hooverand Gayle Foreman. What do you guys think of those authors? :)
Mod
I would also be okay with Jenny Han, because I've heard of her before!
I'm definitely okay with all three!
Sweet! Should we decide on a book and then aim to have it found/purchased by Friday maybe? :) I was thinking To All the Boys I've Loved Before or Just One Day?
I've just requested both from my local library! If push comes to pull, I'll purchase them :D Both sound great - it'll be awesome to try reading something out of my usual genres!
Mod
I picked up my copy yesterday! Should we start reading on Monday? and maybe read the first few chapters by Wednesday?
Which book do you want to read first? My copy of Just One Day is currently in transit so I should be able to get my hands on it soon! I think I'm going to go buy To All the Boys I've Loved Before!
We can wait till you get your copy of Just One Day! :) I need to pick up a copy of To All The Boys I've Loved Before, I'll try and do that next week, I really want to read it! :)
Sorry for the delay, but I have my copy of Just One Day!
Awesome! Wanna start reading it tomorrow? (Monday, 24th Aug)
Mod
mondays are super duper busy for me :(
plus i havent gotten the book like i planned whoopsies :)
That's absolutely a-okay! I haven't gotten a copy of To All the Boys I've Loved Before either. Just a heads up - reading might a bit hard for me once school starts up in a week: I'm in quite a reading intensive English class!
Mod
Oh my gosh, that's so soon D: Man, even Sept. 2nd seems too soon for me. Where did summer go?
Mod
wherever summer went, it needs to come back asap.
I'm already stressing.
Same here! It feels like summer just started and here we are with only a week left - I still feel like I've done nothing cool haha. I'm doing PSEO and it's absolutely terrifying.
No worries! I've finished University now but have started working (I'm so old! haha) just let me know when you guys are wanting to start up! :D Best of luck with your classes and stuff! :)
I just got my copy of Just One Day and I'm up for reading at anytime now!
So is this going to be a thing anymore? Haha
Mod
Okay awesome! I just wasn't entirely sure what was happening ^^ But take your time - there's definitely no rush!
Mod
Awesome! Are we planning to read both at the same time or one at a time? :D
Mod
Oh yeah, man, I totally agree. I have a huuuge stack of books to read for lit as well. School gives me absolutely no time for reading D:
Sounds good to me! How fast should we try and read it? I was thinking something like 3-5 chapters a week? But that might be a bit too slow since there are 39 in total?
Mod
Agreed - We're reading Just One Day first, correct?
Mod
oh and another question, I feel like we should kind of know what time zones were in/ where we're from haha.
I'm from Ohio which is EST time zone
I'm from Minnesota, so I'm in central!
Okay, so that means, Megan is one hour ahead of me, and Quinn is about six hours ahead of me and five ahead of Megan. How about instead of picking a specific time, we can say, "finish chapters 1-5" by Friday, September 12th"! Does that sound good? Then we can discuss on Saturday at whatever time works for you guys! Or we can just discuss over the whole weekend and just reply whenever you feel is convenient!
I think perhaps discussing what we read over the whole weekend might be the best idea? I am actually going away this week to finally graduate from University (I completed my course in June but UK schools are weird, haha) so there is a slight possibility that I mightn't read all 5 chapters but I'll try my best! :)
That's totally cool! Just take your time! These deadlines are super casual and definitely not set in stone~ Congratulations on graduating!
Mod
Okay! I think we should try to read to about chapter 5 by this weekend!
I'm already on chapter three, the chapters are fairly short. :)
I got the 5 chapters read, I'm ready to talk about them if everyone else has? :) I'm excited to read more!
Same! The chapters are really easy to get through! I'm ready to discuss as well!
