Request a Buddy

[Kristie]

Is there a book you'd like to buddy read? Make a request here, then set up a thread to discuss.

[Gem ~ZeroShelfControl~]

I have the new Liane Moriaty to read Apples Never Fall. Its published in September if anyone else has been granted it from netgallley.

[Marnie]

I have Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerrand think it would make a good buddy read. Sounds like there are several storylines

[Kristie]

I have a feeling this is going to turn into an I-need-to-request-that thread for me. lol

I've been a little behind with my reviews lately and pushing pub dates. My next up are We Are the Brennans and Tell Me (might still be read now). I can start either right away to have them done on time.

[Kristie]

Does anyone have The Final Girl Support Group? I'm planning to read it in a few days, after We Are the Brennans. I'd be up for a buddy read (of either).

I'm also planning to read The Noise right after Tell Me, so could buddy read that as well.

I'd be up for buddy reading this one.

I got denied for Final Girl. I'm still waiting for We Are the Brennans (e-book and audio).

I was declined for Final Girl too. I got it through my library though. If anyone else needs to read it for review, I'd be happy to buddy up. I hope you get We Are the Brennans!

Fantastic! I’m pretty open about dates so let me know what works best for you.

How about August 13?

[Marnie]

August 13 works for me. I’m excited to read it and even more so to be able to chat about it while I do.

[Kristie]

First buddy read on the schedule! :D Once the thread is made, I'll link it in the schedule to make it easy for others to find. Let me know if you need any help with it. Hope you enjoy your read.

I set up a thread. Please check it when you can to see if I did it correctly lol

[Kristie]

Looks good to me, Marnie. :) It's been added to the schedule.

One suggestion - You may want to link the book in the first post. Sometimes Goodreads disconnects the book from the thread when it is added in the 'this thread is about' box. I'm not sure why.

I bought The Final Girl Support Group and have started it, but if you want to catch up to where I am and buddy read the rest I'm game

I'm also looking for someone to buddy read The Guilt Trip, Anna K: A Love Story, The Betrothed, I Hope You're Listening

I just finished The Guilt Trip last weekend! Was interesting!

I have Anna K from BOTM and am also down to catch up on those suckers, those actually take up physical space! lol. So I could buddy read with you. I already have one lined up for 8/13 and one for 8/22. Soonest I could do would be 8/6.

How far along are you? I can try to catch up, if you don't mind pausing. I just finished my two reviews I was reading so I can start it next.

I'm on page 150 or 44% on my Kindle, I don't mind pausing to wait for you to catch up

Oh, you're pretty far into it. I'm at 17%. I'll try to make some progress tomorrow so we can discuss. I'll start a thread with today as the start date.

Does anyone have The Last House on Needless Street to read? I'm planning to read it the end of the month if anyone wants to buddy up.

Me!"

Yessss! I'm planning to read it right after my real life book club book, so starting somewhere around the 27th or 28th? Would that work for you?

[Kristie]

Elyse - I just realized that you are doing the Harlem Shuffle buddy read on the 27th. Do you need an extra week or so before starting Needless Street?

[Gem ~ZeroShelfControl~]

I read needless street at Christmas and oh boy you are in for a treat!!

[Kristie]

I'm looking forward to it. Can't wait!

[Elyse]

@Kristie, I can start it on 9/1 if that works for you?

Elyse wrote: "@Kristie, I can start it on 9/1 if that works for you?"

That works for me, Elyse! I'll start a thread.

Update: Thread is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Avid Reader and Geek Girl]

I'm also looking to buddy read All of Us Villains

[Tasha]

Oh no! At least that's a motivator to get reading. ;)

[Kristie]

My next books to read:

Under the Whispering Door - plan to start in about a week
The Santa Suit - plan to start in about a week
Best in Snow - maybe beginning of October
These Silent Woods - maybe beginning of October
Wish You Were Here - maybe beginning of November

If anyone is interested in buddy reading any of these, let me know. :)

Under the Whispering Door I could start next week.

The Santa Suit I could start 9/17.

I just requested Wish You Were Here. I do have it on preorder because Jodi is an auto-buy author for me!

[Kristie]

Excellent! I will start the threads. Will the 12th work for Under the Whispering Door? That should give us a little time before The Santa Suit.

[Kristie]

Threads are here:

Under the Whispering Door - discussion here

The Santa Suit - discussion here

Yes, I can start Under the Whispering Door on the 12th!

[Kristie]

I'm planning to start These Silent Woods on Saturday (the 9th). If anyone has it and would like to buddy read, let me know. I think it will be a good one for discussion.

[Kristie]

Next up for me (after These Silent Woods) will be Wish You Were Here if anyone wants to buddy read.

[Elyse]

Kristie wrote: "Next up for me (after These Silent Woods) will be Wish You Were Here if anyone wants to buddy read."

I have it preordered. Picoult's an auto-buy for me. I didn't get the ARC.

[Tasha]

I'll be curious to hear what you guys think but I'm not interested in reading it. I'm sure it will be good though. I've only read 2-3 books by her but I've enjoyed them all.

[Kristie]

November plans: Darkness Falls and The Maid . Anyone up for a November buddy read?

[Kristie]

December: Reckless Girls and The Last House on the Street .

Reckless Girls buddy read is being planned. Anyone interested in The Last House on the Street?

[Elyse]

Kristie wrote: "December: Reckless Girls and The Last House on the Street .

I will also jump on The Last House. The only other Chamberlain I read was a bit of a slog and also a NG buddy read so maybe this will force me to actually read it because I'm not that excited about it. lol

[Kristie]

Oh no! Hahaha. Hopefully this one is better. I have had mixed luck with her books. How about if we read it after Reckless Girls? Maybe the 10th or so?

[Elyse]

Kristie wrote: "Oh no! Hahaha. Hopefully this one is better. I have had mixed luck with her books. How about if we read it after Reckless Girls? Maybe the 10th or so?"

Sounds like a plan!

[Tasha]

I was denied The Last House on the Street but I'm curious what you guys will think. I've only read one book by the author.

[Tasha]

I was just going to try for reckless Girls but I see I was declined for that as well, lol. I'm really curious about this one! I hope you guys like it.
