Jane Eyre has been on my TBR list for a while now. I think I even started it once and then forgot all about it due to the excessive number of challenges and buddy reads I do. I would love to do a buddy read of Jane Eyre. :)

Emily Kelsall (emilythebooknerd) | 1388 comments I've been wanting to read Jane Eyre too! So I'd join in with you guys.

Am I allowed to join? I have the book at home too and I would love to read it. Or is it a buddy read?

You can definitley join! It is a buddy read, meaning we'll pick a start date and post our thoughts, discussing the book as we read, but that doesn't mean it's exclusive. As far as I know, buddy reads on this group are usually (if not always) open to anyone who wants to join in =)

Erin I'll join too! I have been wanting to read Jane Eyre too :)

All of us want to read Jane Eyre, what do you suggest we do? Also, any suggestions of the time we should start? I would like to start as soon as possible, but that depends on what you guys want.


message 2461: by Drishti (new)

Drishti (drishti_ohri) | 1047 comments Actually, I have some tests at school. So, I doubt that I can start before mid-November. But, if you guys want to start early, then maybe I could find some way to start the book with you all.

Ummm…I would like to start somewhere in the middle of November, if that's okay. I just took out some books from the library, and yeah, but it all depends on what you guys want.


message 2466: by Nancy (new)

Nancy (nancyhelen) | 1469 comments @Joi, I'll definitely do Throne of Glass with you. I'd love to do the Stephen King as well as I have heard a lot about it.

As for The Goldfinch, unfortunately my copy is on the high seas somewhere and I probably won't get a hold of it until the middle of December.

I was going to get the book from the school library, but I won't be in school at the end off November due to holidays and whatnot.

A few of us have been recommended this one

Which is a free kindle download at the moment.
