around the 25th of October
Okay, I do not have a problem with that at all if you wait to host it here in this group. But you must make sure that you post what we are easing, and try to keep the conversation going. I might even be able to help out occasionally. :)
Will make a list of books I want to read and hopefully someone will want to read at least one of them too!Northern Lights
Peter Pan
The Borrowers
Angels & Demons
The Lord of the Rings
White Teeth
Skulduggery Pleasant
Hush, Hush
The Poisonwood Bible
can start at any time...
Nicolle, have you read The Hobbit? It's the prequel to the LotR series.
No, I heard you don't have to as the version I have gives you some background info about it but I will if someone wants to do that...
Mod
I already read those!! (though they are really good!!)
I will reread those with you, Meghan!And Nicolle, I won't make you read it if don't want to. Was just wondering.

[boo..."
Nicolle, I want to start reading [book:Angels & Demons|960], too. Would you want to co-host a buddy read for this book with me? We could start around December 20th or something.
I can comment occasionally since I have already read this novel.

Ok I started reading and I'm up to page 50 but I will stop and wait till you start :)
Near the end of December would anyone like to read one of the following? ~A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
~The Opposite of Chocolate
~Beautiful Creatures
~The Summer of Skinny Dipping
~The Mysterious Benedict Society
~A Great and Terrible Beauty
~Speak
~The Book Thief
~North of Beautiful
~Evermore
Either post back here or message me!
~Chloe :D
ps, it doesn't have to be end of Dec... I just put that as an idea, but im fine with anything.
I am all for reading Speak! I have recently bought that one and am anxious to read it. When would you want to start it?
The opposite of chocolate is one of my fav books. I own it so I could read again when you do!
Hmm, the title is really catchy. What did you rate it, Nicolle?
Zakiya, I would probably want to start it in about a week or two? I have 2 books that I want to finish and maybe another one before speak, but I could always read it at the same time. What were you thinking? I am really up for anything. Nicolle, I would also read Opposite of Chocolate with you, but only if you don't mind reading it again. Whenever you want, just let me know! If I am reading Speak with Zakiya than maybe afterwards, unless she wants to join in on Opposite of Chocolate, too!
It really doesn't matter to me. Since you suggested it, whatever works for you. Maybe the 3rd or 4th of Jan.?Hmm, bad news for us: They don't have TOoC in the Kindle Store, and I'm broke, and parents aren't buying me anything, so I won't be able to read Opposite of Chocolate with you :(.
Zakiya, that's okay, we can read Speak! (Nicolle, I will still read OoC with you if you want). Yeah, Jan. 3rd sounds perfect it is the day I go back to school, so good timing. Just planning ahead in case we don't get a chance to discuss it, but I'm thinking like 40 or 50th page to start... we'll see... what do you think?
Chloe wrote: "I'm thinking like 40 or 50th page to start."What do you mean by that exactly? Sorry, my mind's thinking of fish because that's what my mom's fixin' :).
Haha Zakiya! What I meant was like, we could start by reading o the 50th page. Is that how Buddy Reads works?
Oh yes, that's how they work. Haha, sorry about that. :). That sounds good to me. It will need to end a chapter, though, so you'll just have to check that.
I rated it 5 stars.Ok, we can start opposite of chocolate whenever you want.
So,Zakiya - Jan. 3rd 50th page?
Nicolle - Um... how about today? Haha I just have it here and I am reading a really boring book, so... But whatever works for you!
No thats fine! I am not at home right now, but I will start it sometime today. Also, if we read to page 50 by January, then shouldn't we just start the buddy read now? Or are you saying that the 50th page will be the first assignment on January 3rd? Srry, just a little confused.
Zakiya - hey! haha yeah i'm a little confused too :P So wait - are you reading opposite/chocolate too? cause i thought you couldn't... haha, um, what do you think? I think the 50th page started jan. 3rd sounds good. unless you want to start earlier which would be awesome too! it would just have to be on wednesday or after because speak is at my dad's.still confused? im a bit :P
Will do :) Um, what page are you thinking?

I think the 50th page started jan..."No, I won't be reading OoC. And we can start on the 26th? Day after Christmas. Is that okay with you?
I got my copy of the book and looked. If we did this by 50 pages, that means that we would be reading by the marking periods. The First Marking Period ends on page 46. So from like Dec 26th to Dec 28th we can read First Marking Period. Then Dec 29th to Dec 31st, we read Second Marking Period, which lasts through page 92.I like that better. How does that sound to you?
Zakiya, that sounds perfect. And Dec. 26th is good for me. Do you want to make the topic or should I?
Uhm, I can be over this one. (Unless you wanted to?) Besides, you already have OoC to manage :D.
Does anyone want to Buddy Read Evermore with me? I've been wanting to read it for a long time.
I really want to read it but haven't got it at the moment but might after christmas if you haven't read it by then.
Mod
I'm stuck in the middle of it right now. I don't mind waiting for you & Meghan to catch up.
I'm hoping to read Body Surfing by Anita Shreve some time this summer. Would anyone else be interested in reading it with me?
