Shilpa | 1061 comments Thursday is good.. :)

Good morning!!! :)


message 102: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments Arshii, I finished Business Doctors.
I'll start HP tomorrow and try to catch up till pg-54.. :)


message 103: by btwthesepages (new)

btwthesepages | 1674 comments How was Business Doctors? Is it non-fiction?


message 104: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments Business Doctors was good.. I'm tired of reading the same types of books written by the Indian authors..This one was different.. It is about the underworld and a consultancy coming together..


message 105: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments And I have request buddy.. Let's not buddy read till 9th Oct..I just received some news and will be extremely busy till then and will also need to study a lot during this time..
I'm actually thinking of ditching reading till then..but I know that is not possible.. :P
HP is quite thick and I can't stop reading it if I start..So it is better to stay away from it now.. :(
Maybe I'll read some shorts now..or atleast thin books!


message 106: by btwthesepages (new)

btwthesepages | 1674 comments That's okay buddy. No rush. I know 4 year can get quite hectic. God knows I'm still adjusting to 1st :P
Just let me know if anything catches your eye and we'll read it or I'll put it in the list of future quests :D


message 107: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments Thanx dear! :)

We will complete the selection series together..and as for the next books, I'll give that job to you! :P
I'll keep looking too.. :D

*asks buddy not to leave this thread stranded even when no buddy read is on and put up general reading updates*


message 108: by btwthesepages (new)

btwthesepages | 1674 comments *tells buddy that would be a great idea. :D


message 109: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments So what are you reading now?
I'm still reading Must Date the Playboy..


message 110: by btwthesepages (new)

btwthesepages | 1674 comments Going to start To kill a mocking bird. Maybe tonight or tomorrow morning. Soooo many good reviews from everyone. It's got me curious ;)
Also it's the group read this month and I can use it for a minimum of 3 challenges - 3 birds with 1 stone :P
Got to complete it by Saturday though :)


message 111: by btwthesepages (new)

btwthesepages | 1674 comments How's Must date the playboy? The synopsis sounded interesting


message 112: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments I've been wanting to read it too.. :)
And I can see you are using my strategy.. :P :P
Just so you know..that Angel Fire went into around 6-7 challenges (including ongoing ones)! :P


message 113: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments Love the main guy, Zach! *blushes*
But some supporting characters are annoying the hell out of me. I just finished the book actually..And I can't decide how to rate it.. :|


message 114: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments overall.. the book was ok.. a lot things happened when I was like "You've got to be kidding me!"
And it was so confusing in some places..every one is either confused with their emotions or even with what to do and how to behave. Rich brats.. all of them..

But somehow I still don't hate the book..perhaps because of Zach..His character is the one which felt the most real.. :)


message 115: by btwthesepages (new)

btwthesepages | 1674 comments That rating thing is bothering me too these days. I'll like a book but sometimes it's hard to decide if it's a 3 or 4 starter. 5 star ones though I have no problem in spotting :D
Wanna buddy read To kill a mocking bird? It's only 300 pages or so. We'll start together but I'll have to finish it by Saturday for a deadline. You can read it at your own pace whenever you get time and we'll discuss it together as we go. What say?


message 116: by btwthesepages (new)

btwthesepages | 1674 comments Zach - so good?
Ooo I'll have to read it then. Can resist a good hero :D


message 117: by btwthesepages (new)

btwthesepages | 1674 comments *can't


message 118: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments Yea sure! Thanx! :D


message 119: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments Yeah..Zach is quite a guy.. drool-worthy as the playboy and adorable as the story proceeds without losing the spunk and the smirk on his face.. ;)


message 120: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments So, put up the next quest! :D


message 121: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments On second thoughts..buddy you read it by yourself now. I read the synopsis and a page of it and feel that it's not a light read..I can't read it now..not before 9th..
I'm already having to keep a lot on my mind and I'll go crazy if I have to start remembering the details of another book..:P
I think I'm gonna read One night at a call centre from today..and we can discuss To kill a mocking bird whenever I read it..Let's take the advantage of this being a 'lifetime' thread! :D


message 122: by btwthesepages (new)

btwthesepages | 1674 comments That's fine :)
Lifetime buddy read sure has it's advantages ;)


message 123: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments *thanks buddy for being so understanding* *gives her chocolates*


message 124: by btwthesepages (new)

btwthesepages | 1674 comments *eats all the chocolates and gives buddy a huge smile* :D


message 125: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments *demands reading updates* *sulks for not being able to read*


message 126: by Hajarath Prasad (new)

Hajarath Prasad Abburu (hajarath) | 9245 comments Did I hear To Kill a Mockingbird?? ^__^
I loved it and in fact it's the first book me and my buddy read together ^___^


message 127: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments Hello brother! Long time..!!
And yeah..you heard it right..but we will have discussion rather than a buddy read.. :(
No time to read.. -_-


message 128: by btwthesepages (new)

btwthesepages | 1674 comments Update: Very slow going. Still in 1st chapter :(

Hp: All the ratings for this are either 4 or 5 stars and everyone loves this apparently so can't wait to keep reading it ^_^
But alas college ruins plans :'(


message 129: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments Happens, buddy! :)
I understand..especially now.. :P :P
Read it at your own pace and enjoy..Good Morning! :D


message 130: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments Hows the book going? I got to read a bit today! On page 108 of One Night at the Call Center..


message 131: by btwthesepages (new)

btwthesepages | 1674 comments In chapter 4 :)
How's One Night?


message 132: by Shilpa (last edited Sep 23, 2014 09:38AM) (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments One word.. BORING!!! :| :|
So, I also started The Wide Window.. It's a children's series..but I still like it.. :D

How's Mockingbird? I've never heard anything bad about it though! :P:P


message 133: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments Why are you going so slow? Weren't you supposed to finish it by Saturday? :O


message 134: by btwthesepages (new)

btwthesepages | 1674 comments I was but after coming from college I'm just writing notes for sometime and directly falling on my bed. I've barely read a few pages before fall asleep. All that I'm able to read is on bus journey over and from college and that too when I get a seat.... *sign*
I came home early today though so I read a little more. Almost 50% done. Maybe I'll be done by tomorrow evening *fingers crossed* :D

I liked only 2 states by CB and after that I read 3 mistakes. Kinda lost interest in his books after that. But I have one night on my TBR. Staying away from it for a long time now though :P


message 135: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments Yeah..I know that feeling.. all you feel like doing is sleeping after a tiring day.. :)

I too liked 2 states..but I also liked 3 mistakes.. not a fan of Mr.Bhagat's work otherwise.. I generally read his books when I need an easy read.. Like now.. :P :P


message 136: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments What challenges are it for?


message 137: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments I mean the mockingbird book...


message 138: by btwthesepages (new)

btwthesepages | 1674 comments For a team challenge in WRC specifically but it also fits some other challenges.


message 139: by btwthesepages (new)

btwthesepages | 1674 comments I'm planning to read Saving Francesca & A Girl by Any Other Name after Mockingbird. Both are short reads. 200-300 pages.
Interested?


message 140: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments Candy crushers? I so wanted to join that one.. but I didn't know if i could commit to reading a book per week for that.. :(
Now I know I did the right thing..:P
but it still sucks not to take part in it..


message 141: by btwthesepages (new)

btwthesepages | 1674 comments Yeah. That's the one :)
It's roughly a book a week. It okay if we don't finish the book by the time the next number is called but we have to finish it before starting the new one.
Don't worry maybe jingles will plan a team challenge again after this one and if you're free then you can join :D


message 142: by btwthesepages (new)

btwthesepages | 1674 comments Eyes are dropping. Sleep awaits! *yawns*
Goodnight buddy! Hope you have a great day tomorrow! :)


message 143: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments Hope so! :D

And I checked the books..they look interesting.. :)
I was planning to read Insurgent after this..but since you've already read it..I'l read it later.. Do you have an epub of the Girl by any name?


message 144: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments Good night, buddy! I'm gonna study now..so sleep has to wait some more for me tonight! :P


message 145: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments buddy, Are you interested in reading the vampire diaries? I'll be reading them soon! I love the TV series so much that I just have to! :P

There are a lot of books in the series and I'm planning on reading all of them asap! :D


message 146: by btwthesepages (new)

btwthesepages | 1674 comments A girl by any other name is available in epub at general ebooks. Try that :)

Vampire diaries? I think I read the first book long time back but I forgot to mark it as read :P
I didn't like it much then but I think I'll give it another try :)
Fair warning: It's pretty different from the show.


message 147: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments I know it's different from the show.. but it has Damon Salvatore in it! So what the hell.. I'll read..:P :P
You let it go then.. :)
Let's read Saving Francesca first.. :)


message 148: by btwthesepages (new)

btwthesepages | 1674 comments Okay. I'll let you know as soon as I finish Mockingbird and we'll get started :D


message 149: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments Okey.. How far are you with it?
I finished the Wide Window.. wonder why I didn't read much as a child.. should have read this series then.. :(


message 150: by Shilpa (new)

Shilpa | 1061 comments I started the Vampire Diaries! :D

Also I read a bit of Saving Francesca.. It is putting me off in the very beginning.. :|
