Buddy reads!
Isn't there a B&N in Hawaii? Didn't you chat with us from there once? ;) if you get it, let's read it together.
I'm going to be reading Velveteen by Daniel Marks in the New Year. Would anybody be interested in joining in on this with me?
Anyone interested in buddy reading
.Sadly not nearly enoguh people know this series. I am planning on starting it after I finish my current book.
Okay, so I might be a little bit dense here. But what exactly does buddy reads entail? (ie what is buddy reads?) :)

Thanks for that - I feel completely dense now that I wasn't able to guess that :)
Lol that's ok Rubes, I had to be educated a while back too and I've only done two of them so far. But they're fun and add a little bit to the reading, but it can be hard to find someone to read what you're reading :)
I am a member of a goodreads group entirely dedicated to buddy reads, they are fun to do, although I don't do them that often. I like to read whatever I am in the mood for and have difficulties planning a buddy read.
@David Cool beans! Phew, I don't feel so bad that I am learning everything from scratch :) So, buddy reads is kind of what a lit class is like except you read and discuss with only a few people instead of a mass of 50 ppl. Awesomeness.

Aww crap! I'd love to but I just have too many other books on my Kindle to buy another one lol.

You know, looking at all the books I have, I can wait! I haven't bought it yet. ;-). I'll wait a few weeks/months and see if anyone's ready by then. Sooooo many books... so little time! Haha...

I would like to join the buddy read for days of Blood and Starlight. I just ordered it on TBD, so it may take some time before my copy arrives.
Awesome!! We were thinking February, does that work? I've still got to get a copy and Karen is patiently waiting for me lol :)
I think february will be okay. If TBD is being really slow it takes them 3 weeks from now on to get the book to me :p, but usually it takes 2 weeks. I will let you know when my copy has arrived. I am really looking forward to reading it, especially after reading how the first book ended.
No worries! We'll wait for you no matter how long it takes, neither Karen or I are in a hurry because we always have so many other books to read lol!
Thanks! I am looking forward to buddy reading this book with you! I also have many other books to read, my to-read list only seems to be growing and I still have quite a few review books that I should be reading.
I'll get my Nook copy whenever you guys are ready! So many books! Too little time! Hahahah... Looking forward to doing a buddy read with you guys!

I've heard great things about them! :)
A friend of mine is going to buy the mortal instruments books for me, but I have no idea when they arrive.
Lolita wrote: "A friend of mine is going to buy the mortal instruments books for me, but I have no idea when they arrive."Well, let me know when they do :)
I will let you know :). I really want to read the book before the movie comes out so I can come up with my own ideas of how everything and everyone looks like.
Lolita wrote: "I will let you know :). I really want to read the book before the movie comes out so I can come up with my own ideas of how everything and everyone looks like."I'm planning to read the entire series before the movie. Sometimes the movie has spoilers for the next books, like in THG :)
I am not sure whether I am going to see the movie, but often there are posters everywhere about them. Sometimes the movies are done well, I guess I'll just wait and hear what others think of it first.

I'm almost half way through it and its so addicting, i don't wanna put it down.
I really want to read Boundless! I want to know how that series ends/ But I have a beta read and some review books I need to read first.
Lolita wrote: "I really want to read Boundless! I want to know how that series ends/ But I have a beta read and some review books I need to read first."You might also wanna read this before if you haven't already
it takes place over the summer just before college. I'm glad i read it before Boundless.
I have already read Radiant :). I think it was a very good short story and it makes me really curious as to what will happen in boundless.
No it is pretty short, but I do think it is nice to read it before Boundless. It also has some chapters from Angela's point of view.
For anyone interested, Karen, Janny and I are doing a buddy read of the sequel to Cinder by Marissa Meyer,
, starting on this Saturday! We'd love to have as many people join as possible! Here's the link to the buddy read:
