Oct 2020 Find Your Buddy Read

[Kate]

One of the Bingo squares was to do a Buddy Read. You only need to read 50 pages of the book to count the square complete.

If you don't have a partner or are looking for a partner for a specific book, feel free to post here and find someone (or a group of someones).

I'll start it off with my options if someone wants to Buddy Read with me.

[Ashlyn]

I would be interested in buddy reading the first HP, I do not own that illustrated copy though..

[Jana]

Kate, I was planning on picking up a copy of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes as a pre-readathon treat, so i might join you for that one!

[Tai]

Hi Kate, I'll buddy read with you. I just started The Prisoner of Azkaban.

[Jennifer]

I would love to do a buddy read of the first HP as well. I just got the illustrated edition.

[Dee]

i might be up for Ballad of Songbirds - if i can borrow ebook before this weekend - need to check library

I've got a copy of it; it's not in my Readathon TBR, but it would be a good one to add...I'm happy to buddy with you!

[K.L.]

If anyone is interested in reading some comic books or manga this weekend, here are some of the books/series that I'm planning to read:

[Kate]

Okay, so so far I will be reading 50 pages of the following:

HP #1
HP #3
Ballad of Songbird

Don't worry about having the exact editions. Same book will do, illustrated or not.

If you can't find anyone to buddy read any of the books with you, I will do 50 pages of The Hobbit. Let me know Saturday morning

[ElizabethAnne]

Here are the books I'm potentially reading if anyone wants to join in!

[Leigh]

Kate, I am currently listening to HP #3 . I just will have to figure out how many chapters I will need to “read” 50 pages. So excited for this. Does it run from midnight PST to midnight PST?

This will run from 5 am on saturday PST to 5 am on Sunday PST. I just checked the books and it is 2-3 chapters.

[Evelyn]

Would anyone like to read these with me?:

Hi Dee! I have [book:The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11 as well, though I'm not sure how much of it I'll get read due to other books I'm trying to finish. But I'll definitely read a little of it at some point.😊

I'm down for The Princess Saves Herself in This One!

[Jamie]

I read a lot of random stuff, so not all my books are likely to be in other folks' stacks. Still, I have a few (mostly library books) that might have some potential for overlap...


I am reading the second book, Gormenghast, in the trilogy of that name, but in my stack the whole trilogy is one omnibus book, so I suppose it doesn't matter so much which one you're on.

Hi Jamie. I have the same issue where there aren't many other people who have similar taste to me. I'm not reading any of your choices for the readathon, but I have read "All the Birds", "What is means", a few Zadie Smith books and all of Tana French's books. I love your choices!

[Emma]

These are my current/probable reads if anyone wants to buddy...

Nope. Once you complete your 50 pages of your agreed upon book, you can mark it complete :)

[Anabell]

I am starting with and probably going to read for most of the readathon. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire


Looking for a buddy read :-)

Sounds good! It’s due back at the library (ebook) in a couple days so I’ll probably make a heavy push to get it read
