Elevetha  | 384 comments As long as I'm allowed to do two, I'll do it with you, if you like:)

You can do as many as you like (although you only need one for the Read-A-Thon). If you'd like to do it with me, I'd be ever so happy to have you as a buddy! What would you like to read?


message 153: by Elevetha (new)

Elevetha  | 384 comments Brilliant! Maybe The Chaos of Stars? I happen to have it lying around, so as long as you can get your hands on it...or These Broken Stars, if I can get from the library soonish. Thoughts?


message 154: by L (new)

L | 1252 comments Would anyone like to be my buddy? Please do let me know as i shall be planning my books to read for the read-a-thon {and creating a 'shelf' for it in my bookshelves}.

I'd love to read These Broken Stars! I already have a copy, so I can start whenever you like. When would you like to begin reading it?

Um...whenever it comes in at the library. Hopefully it comes soon and I'll let you know as soon as it does. If it's taking too long, we can always switch, I suppose.


message 157: by Elevetha (new)

Elevetha  | 384 comments Hey, Booknut, I had a thought. Since you want to read The Blue Castle for the Read-a-thon and I don't have These Broken Stars yet, do you want to switch to TBC? Just a thought. I'm good with whatever you want to do:)


message 158: by L (new)

L | 1252 comments Booknut it seems like everyone is asking to do a 'buddy read' with you! So, i hope you don't mind me enquiring about Jane Eyre as we are both reading it as a choice of classic? x

Halo

Nightshade

Don't apologize! I wish I had more days of than I do.

And nahhh:P

Olivia (olivia1395) | 1948 comments OH NOO! *snatches cupcakes and runs*

Olivia (olivia1395) | 1948 comments *picks up cupcakes, throws some skittles, and runs away*


message 187: by Janis Kay (new)

Janis Kay (riceball1759) | 22 comments Oh dear, this is quite a battle you two are having LOL

Olivia (olivia1395) | 1948 comments *ducks out of the way, grabs a piece of the cupcake, and stuffs it in my mouth*


message 189: by Olivia (new)

Olivia (olivia1395) | 1948 comments LET IT GOO

I think you both need to cool down!! I'm sure there's enough frosting for the both of you XD


message 192: by Olivia (new)

Olivia (olivia1395) | 1948 comments Sounds good!


message 193: by L (new)

L | 1252 comments *laughs!*

Olivia (olivia1395) | 1948 comments Haha that's great.


message 195: by talltyrion (new)

talltyrion | 708 comments But you have to admit, it's horribly accurate. My earliest memory is of driving through a whiteout in Reno, and yesterday, I looked out the window and thought I was reliving that. It's crazy, man.


message 196: by L (new)

L | 1252 comments Every year we seem to be getting more & more snow and unlike other countries that are used to it, the UK goes into a state of panic. I only hope we don't have any this new year.


message 197: by Janis Kay (new)

Janis Kay (riceball1759) | 22 comments @H99 I completely understand what you mean. I'm from Jersey -if that's anywhere near you. One day it's single digits and then it "warms up" to above freezing...sigh. This weather's threatening to drive me crazy, but as long as I'm warm, I'm happy:)
