Yay!!! That’s good. I hate library fines sooo much. A few years ago my sister stole one of my library books and then I got a...lovely amount of fines on my card 😂😂

Ikr! That is so unfortunate 😭

[Allyson, Group Moderator]

Oh dear that's awful!! I'm so glad you got it all sorted out!!

[Elisabeth aka Elsie(Taylor's version)]

Hey! Will someone like to read with me Crossed, the second book of the Matched trilogy with me for this month?

[Allyson, Group Moderator]

I will! 😃

[Elisabeth aka Elsie(Taylor's version)]

Great! When would you like?

[Allyson, Group Moderator]

Well, I still need to read Matched but when I get around to starting it it probably won't take me long to finish it. When would you like to read it?

[Elisabeth aka Elsie(Taylor's version)]

Well, I can wait until you read Matched, what would you say for 10th or 11th?

[Elisabeth aka Elsie(Taylor's version)]

It could be later, if you want, it’s not a big deal for me.

[Allyson, Group Moderator]

That should be fine with me!! 😄👍

[Elisabeth aka Elsie(Taylor's version)]

Ok, I’ll ask for a thread then, for 11th.

[Allyson, Group Moderator]

Awesome!!

Yes, Jenna! This has been on my TBR list for a long while and I already have a copy. Do you want to start February 1 through 28? Let me know and I will set up a thread.

Wonderful!! Yes, I am perfectly fine with 1st to 18th Feb. Thanks!!

Though not voted BOTM, I was planning to read Dust in February anyway - does anyone else want to read it as a buddy read?

Ahh yay! Are you happy to read it from the 1st to the 28th or are there any other dates that are better for you?

[iamanolive]

No, I am perfectly happy with reading it from 1st to 28th of February!!

There aren't really chapters in this book, there are but they aren't normal chapters. My copy is 550 pages, so if you read 20 pages a day for 28 days, you should finish it.

Would anyone who read Wolf by Wolf like to read the 2nd book in the series, Blood for Blood with me this month? I was planning on reading it anyways and I am picking it up from the library tonight. So thought to see if anyone wants to join me.

I've been meaning to finish the first one but school :( Though if I finish it by tomorrow, I may join you because I already have the second book. In fact, I'll make it my mission to read before bed tonight xD

[Ann T, Adult Moderator]

That would be awesome Sumayyah. I am starting it tonight, so we will be on the same timeline. I will set up a thread.

[Ann T, Adult Moderator]

Taking invitation for Blood for Blood off the Buddy Read list. Too violent for our group. Sumayyah - see private message sent.

Would anyone like to read Cloak of the Light with me this month? Maybe even the second one as well.

[Carina]

Allyson, if you're still interested I'd love to buddy read Cloak of the Light!

[Allyson, Group Moderator]

Oh my! I completely forgot about this and I haven't been on Goodreads in quite a few days!! I'm so sorry!! Carina, if you're still interested I'd love to read it with you!! 😃

[Carina]

Awesome, sounds great!

[Allyson, Group Moderator]

Awesome! 😄 I just requested a thread!

Would anyone like to read The Giver by Lois Lowry with me? I have to read it by the end of the month for another group, but I know it is YA, so thought to ask here. Making it a quick read. Starting today through end of month.

[Maria]

Would anyone like to read pride and prejudice with me?

Hi Maria - That was our March 2021 Group Read, but as it is a favorite of many, someone may want to read it again or didn't get to in March and still wants to.

[Allyson, Group Moderator]

I'll read it with you Maria! I never got to it in March but still want to read it!

[Maria]

Alright! When would you like to start?

[Allyson, Group Moderator]

I'm fine with whenever! 😄 You pick!

[Maria]

Alright, do I have to mention that in the planning thread? I don’t have any experience with this :)

[Allyson, Group Moderator]

Yeah, I think you have to put when we're starting and stopping but I'm not 100% sure. I would assume so though. 🤷😜

[Maria]

Shall we start next week?

[Allyson, Group Moderator]

Sure!
