Sounds good, Sarah. Just post when you're ready (or close to ready) and we can see if we can coordinate.

Hi Kristie,

I haven't 'buddy read' with anyone yet and am looking forward to it. I could read this book along with you but I noticed you've already started. I have to get the book and wouldn't be able to start until Thursday. Would that work or are you sailing through?

Hi Charlena! I'm hoping to finish on Saturday for a read-a-thon I'm participating in, but I'm not sure if I will be able to read it that quickly. Laura is also reading it and won't have the book until Thursday, so that will be perfect timing for you. Please do join the discussion. The two of us will still be discussing it, even if I do finish sooner.

Aminko | 510 comments I'd like to challenge myself and read The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum, but I'm not brave enough to read it by myself. I'd really like to read this with someone. I can start reading it anytime but March would suit me better (gives me more time to work up my courage)

message 2220: by Alex (new)

Alex Willis (fightingokra) | 2 comments I have been slowly reading through Stephen King's book in chronological order. I am up to The Shining (The Shining #1) by Stephen King and thought it might be fun to make this a buddy read if anyone is interested. I haven't purchased my copy yet but I would like to figure out a schedule and come up with discussion questions if that interests anyone as well. Looking to start March 1st.

You are a brave woman indeed. I tried reading this book and became physically ill a few chapters in. I couldn't finish it.

That's what I'm afraid of. I'm hoping by mixing it in with other books I might get through it. Many of the reviews suggest that the writing is excellent, even if the subject matter is horrendous.


message 2227: by Justin (new)

Justin (rockstarintraining) I read The Girl Next Door in high school. Too bad you can't unread something or erase scenes from your memory. Good luck.

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5079 comments erghh I read that last year sometime, and in audio!

I think it makes it worse knowing that it is a true story!

I'd be interested in reading it then :)

I gave the book 4 stars. I read about the real life incident of it. A lot about it actually. It was actually worst than the book. I was on a reading binge of true serial killers and crimes at the time. I wanted a book that would scare the hell out of me. People said to read this and it would freak me out. Nope. It takes a lot to do that to me. I get more upset when an animal is killed or tortured than humans. I have yet to find a good freak me out book. Ketchum make the book more Hollywood for me. I felt like it was much like Stand By Me(ish) (The Body). I'm reading his book, Old Flames.

It usually takes a lot to make me squirm. The 3 books in the recent past that come to mind are: Heartsick (Gretchen Lowell, #1) by Chelsea Cain The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1) by Stieg Larsson and Blindsighted (Grant County, #1) by Karin Slaughter . All are twisted adult murder mystery stories. Oh, and the edgiest ghost story I've read in a long time was Heart-Shaped Box by Stephen King's son.

Okay, now I'm looking at my horror bookshelf and Revenge of the Witch is a great scary YA book, but probably not enough for you. And some people are really taken by the YA Gone series, but it wasn't really my favorite. And 2 classics would be It and The Silence of the Lambs


message 2233: by Marla (new)

 Marla | 1803 comments I am in the midst of Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple and it's such a strange book that I want to discuss it, but I'm late to the party, so reading buddies, please come back and comment with me:
