Anne | 25 comments HEY, Peoples. I'm going to be reading several books during quarantine and was wondering if anyone wants to buddy read and talk about them with me!

If anyone wanted to buddy read another book not on here, PLEASE let me know. These books are just the ones I have physically with me. All libraries in my area are closed but I have Libby for those sweet sweet Ebooks and audio books and are open to buddy reading depending on what the book is.

Here are a list of books I'm planning on reading in the near future (in no real order):

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green
The Sword of Destiny by Andrzej Sapkowsi
The Power by Naomi Alderman
Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (reread)
In a dark, dark wood by Ruth Ware

I have never buddy read thru goodreads before but these are uncertain times-uncharted waters, so when better than now to try something new?

LET ME KNOW!

Yay! I'll definitely let you know. I read the first two chapters already to get a feel for it but that's not a lot pages. I was planning on reading it a week and a half from now around April 20. What do you think?

I have been DYING to read The Sun is Also a Star! I almost caved and watched the adaptation but I held steady so my opinions of the actual book wouldn't be affected! When were you planning on reading it?

I'll buddy-read The Sun is Also a Star since I just got it on Libby a couple of days ago if you're still reading it and if so I can finish it by April 30th.

Ok great, thanks. So when should I finish it by?


message 39: by Bailey (new)

Bailey the BookNerd (bn021206) Do you want to read certain pages each day and update on what you thought, or just decide an end date and discuss then? Either is fine;)

I think deciding on an end date and then discussing it would work better for me. How about April 30th?
