Request a Buddy 2024

[Kristie]

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

[Kristie]

Hi all - Just checking if I missed any of the buddy reads from the 2023 request thread. You can check the calendar here: Buddy Read Schedule. Let me know is anything isn't there.

I know we were still talking about a few, so feel free to continue those discussions in this thread. I think we were considering The Nature of Disappearing, The Fury, maybe others.

[Trisha]

I have The Fury
Down to read whenever!

I'm seeing some mixed reviews lol

[Kristie]

I think a couple other people have that one. I want to say Shruti and Katrisa. I think they're planning a buddy read, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I'm sure they'll pop in soon.

I have The Nature of Disappearing and there was some interest, but I'm not sure anyone else has it.

I think we also mentioned House of Glass . I think people were interested in buddy reading, but it doesn't publish until August 6th. Should we set up a thread for this one? Maybe with a plan to read in the summer some time?

[Elyse]

I read The Fury last week and did not enjoy it. I gave it 2 stars.

[Kristie]

Oh yikes... I didn't request it because I didn't enjoy the sample I read. I almost ended up requesting it when everyone was discussing it in the old buddy read thread. (FOMO and all that.) Now I'm glad I skipped it. I hope everyone else enjoys it more.

[Shruti morethanmylupus]

Eek that doesn't bode well for us at all, Elyse! I think I gave the silent patient 3/5 and Maidens 2/5 so I'm not feeling too great about this one right now.

[Elyse]

There have been people who enjoyed The Fury so if you have it, you might as well try it out. But I knew very quickly that I wasn't going to like it.

[Vicki Willis]

Kristie, I made the thread for The Guest so you can link it. Thinking the beginning of Feb, but am waiting to see what Shruti wants to do.

[Kristie]

Got it. Thanks!

[Vicki Willis]

I got approved for !!!! So happy!

Yay!!

Edit - I added a thread for it here.

[Kristie]

I also made a thread for The Rom-Commers here. Let me know if we need any others.

[Shruti morethanmylupus]

I’m still pending for House of Glass

I don’t even see Rom-Commers on NG yet.

[Kristie]

A couple of us got widgets for it that we accepted. I'm sure it'll be there soon. I hope you get House of Glass.

Oh boy. I just withdrew my request bc I wasn't a big fan (DNF'd) of The Silent Patient so would rather not feel pressure to read and review this one.

That's how I ended up with making the request, lol! I didn't get approved yet so as mentioned, withdrew my request.

[Kristie]

Oh, that's funny, Tasha! I actually really enjoyed The Silent Patient.

Out of his 3, I liked The Silent Patient the most!

[Katrisa]

I have The Fury. I just started it I am not sure how I feel about it yet. I didn't read The Silent Patient, but I did like The Maidens. So I guess I will see!

[Kristie]

I don't have any of those, Hajar. I hope someone else here does.

[Trisha]

I have

when were you thinking of starting?
I can maybe do mid to late February if you want to read early!

Theresa and I are starting on 2/5

thread is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Shruti morethanmylupus]

Did anyone else get widgets for either of these?


I’m starting already because I made my very religious grandma read Kaikeyi and she loved it. I'm visiting her right now and she's dying to know how Patel's sophomore effort is. But I'll start a thread for it if anyone is interested.


This is the same author as The Wishing Game (which I 5 starred) so I'm very excited about it. It's supposed to be inspired by the Narnia series.

I got this one too! I'm super excited for it and I've been watching NG for it. I just checked my email because of your post and it was in my junk mail! Thank you for asking about it. I grabbed it right away. :)

Yay! It's not publishing until July (on my birthday! 😊) but I'm excited about this one and probably won't want to wait that long. What's your lineup like? Let me know when you want to slot this one in!

[Katrisa]

I also got the lost story so I can join you whenever!

I think I could do The Last Verse early next month.

Were you thinking next month for Till Death too? Can we do later in the month, if so?

Oh perfect! Yes, honestly whenever works for you works for me (I'm generally quite unscheduled with my reading) - Last Verse for early March and Till Death for late March is great. I'm not really sure how this works though since I'm new to this - should I make a thread for these two?

[Trisha]

It's up to you. I can make the thread or you can!

Let's go - 3/1
