So far this is what I have planned for Buddy reads—>

Siege and Storm (The Shadow and Bone Trilogy, #2) by Leigh Bardugo Ruin and Rising (The Shadow and Bone Trilogy, #3) by Leigh Bardugo This Savage Song (Monsters of Verity, #1) by Victoria Schwab Our Dark Duet (Monsters of Verity, #2) by Victoria Schwab Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte Junk Mail by Kendall Ryan The Glittering Court (The Glittering Court, #1) by Richelle Mead
And what I hope to get to, non BR if anyone is interested. Watch Me Follow by Harloe Rae What does everyone have planned? I’ve been reading lots of sci-fi so I know they’ll be a few of those thrown in too lol.

Katie | 3379 comments For bandwagon points, I'm thinking maybe some of these books:

City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments, #2) by Cassandra Clare City of Glass (The Mortal Instruments, #3) by Cassandra Clare City of Fallen Angels (The Mortal Instruments, #4) by Cassandra Clare The Book Thief by Markus Zusak The Wicked King (The Folk of the Air, #2) by Holly Black

*I've only read the 1st book of the Mortal Instrument Series, so this is a good time for me to read a few more :)

For trendsetter points, I'm thinking maybe some of these books:

Sky Without Stars (System Divine, #1) by Jessica Brody Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte

Possible buddy reads:

A Reaper at the Gates (An Ember in the Ashes, #3) by Sabaa Tahir This Savage Song (Monsters of Verity, #1) by Victoria Schwab Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte

I will be checking here often though to get other ideas from you guys! These were just ones that were on my list that would give me some extra points!

I've been dying to read Red, White, and Royal Blue, but it still hasn't hit my library yet :(

Katie | 3379 comments I'm hoping someone who can run the searches on this webpage better than me can help me out...

I was planning on reading Sky Without Stars (System Divine, #1) by Jessica Brody for trendsetter points, but was going to start it closer to the 20th for the buddy read. When I wrote the book down in my journal of books to read this month, it was at 363 ratings. Now it's over 500, so I've lost 2 of the bonus points for that. (No worries...kinda thought that would happen) But, I can't easily find if it was previously buddy read or not. I'll probably still read it since it should still be worth 4 points, but I'm curious if someone can help me out on whether it was buddy read before?

Thanks in advance! And I hope everyone is enjoying their current books!

Katie, the easiest way to do it is to use the search bar on the right hand side of the page on any of the groups threads or main page. If you put in the books title, that should bring up search results - https://www.goodreads.com/group/comme... then, if you click the little bubble which says 'only topics', and hit search again, it should bring up only threads with the books title in their name - https://www.goodreads.com/group/comme... It looks like that one hasn't been buddy read before ☺

Also, if you want to double check that the book hasn't been buddy read on a series read along thread, then you do the same thing, only searching for the authors name instead ☺

Do you want me to make a note of how many ratings the book has now? Just in case it goes up more before you've finished?

Hi Sarah! This is helpful! Thanks! I was missing the "only topics" part of that! And yes, I will start this, and it's at 536 ratings right now. Thanks so much!

Katie | 3379 comments I have to read The Leader in Me How Schools and Parents Around the World Are Inspiring Greatness, One Child At a Time by Stephen R. Covey for my professional development at school.


I don't think this would count towards anything in May since it's considered "education" and not "adult" or "young adult." But can I count it for page points? Just curious if I should include this when I do my updates this weekend. Thanks!

Hoping to finish Sky Without Stars (System Divine, #1) by Jessica Brody this weekend! I'm enjoying this one!

Trying really hard to get into Six of Crows (Six of Crows, #1) by Leigh Bardugo with my buddy read. Struggling with this one...

Hope everyone else is doing well!!


message 27: by Jill (new)

Jill | 3313 comments @Katie, ask about your school book in the main thread. I'm not too sure but page points are still good

I am working on The Fault in Our Stars by John Green which a BR and +6 bonus points. Also working on Blindness by José Saramago which is no BR :(

I have to read Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston which is a BR but does not qualify for bonus points and can only use for page points :(

I can probably squeeze one more. Will try to get a BR with max bonus points!

Shannara (httpwwwshannarareads2com) | 1806 comments I'm in the process of finishing up Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid , Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass, #4) by Sarah J. Maas , and It Takes Two (Bridesmaids Behaving Badly #2) by Jenny Holiday ... If I have time I'll squeeze in another one.
