Jen, I was thinking of starting Beautiful Disaster (Beautiful, #1) by Jamie McGuire on Monday. Are you still thinking of reading it with me, and would that work for you?

Is that a contemporary book, Jenny?

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
Yes, its a contemporary romance. Everyone I know has read it and loved it, I'm kind of late on the bandwagon lol!

Meaghan | 383 comments I haven't read it yet either but it's on my list. If I'm ready on Monday I'll join in but I'm not sure I'll be ready yet. :(

I'm having some trouble getting into Under the Never Sky but hopefully it'll pick up for me!

Uh, Meaghan... I went to put Warpaint on the front page of my Nook and opened it to get it ready to read tomorrow and just realized I'm about halfway done. Whoopsies! ;-D

OK - I'm starting Beautiful Disaster (Beautiful, #1) by Jamie McGuire with Jenny on Monday - but it's a re-read for me. So we can start anytime - how about Tuesday 6/4?

Sounds like a plan! :-)


message 314: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
Okay so do we have any idea when the plan is to do our buddy read of Lies (Gone, #3) by Michael Grant ?

And Meaghan, when did you want to do The Sun Dwellers (The Dwellers #3) by David Estes ?

We need David's input on Lies. He's our busy one and we NEED him to finish The Earth Dwellers!!! EEP!

You know me. I'm good for anytime! ;-)

I've been trying so hard not to start it without Meaghan! lol

I was reading Warpaint (Apocalypsis, #2) by Elle Casey with Meaghan and started a day early. Whoopsies. I finished before she even got her book open and went on to book 3 and now 4 and she's still on Warpaint. Sorry, Meaghan! Got addicted. Couldn't help myself. I know she's having a busy weekend! :-)

Jenny, have you read any of the Country Sagas yet? Fire Country (The Country Saga, #1) by David Estes or Ice Country (The Country Saga, #2) by David Estes ?


message 320: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
Oops. See, I'm trying not to do that! lol
The last buddy read with Variant, David actually beat me on reading it! lol And he's the super busy one right now!

We also need to read Obsidian, but it can wait a little while, I've got a stack of books I have to get read!


message 321: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
Nope, I'm trying to get through the Dwellers first, then I'm moving on to Fire Country. I want to be all caught up for Earth Dwellers.


message 322: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
I also need to read the Angel Evolution series, too, once I get all caught up!

With the Apocalypsis series, she ends each with a cliff hanger so you can't help it! At least I can't. Those click and buys are just WAY too easy!

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
I know, Karen, when I actually had money in my account I would buy a ton of books. Hence my very full Nook of books I haven't read! lol And my Kindle account!

Now I really have to pick and choose :( By the fall, things should be easier.


message 326: by Karen’s Library (new)

Same here! I check the elibrary first for the expensive ones!

Yup, I'm definitely a library girl! Although I really need to just focus on books I already own lol!

Lol! Ok I'm ready now, I really just wanted to get through my beta read for a friend first :) Whatever day you want to start is cool with me!

Okay, great, I will pick up Lies at the library when I go on Tuesday :)

Friday works for me!

Meaghan, does that work? Was anyone else doing this one with us, Jen maybe?


message 333: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
I don't think Jen was reading this series because its not in audio or something along those lines. Meaghan was planning on it I think.


message 334: by Amanda (new)

Amanda Perry (beingperry) | 5 comments I never did a buddy read.... I'm totally in if you guys send me a link to the thread and explain what I'm supposed to do... Also which book to pick up. If you guys are starting Friday I should be finished with the Dresden book I'm in now by then.... Lmk I'd be interested in something like this it sounds like a fun time :)

Meaghan | 383 comments Yea, Friday works for me! :) I think I should get some reading done tomorrow which is good. I've been getting behind!

Actually I gave it a go in print -- Gone (Gone, #1) by Michael Grant -- but apparently my mind was on other things because I only got about 40% in and then gave up. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the book, it was me being busy and trying to figure out how I was going to deal with my bathroom vanity tops (lol!)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
Woot! So Friday for Lies!
Lol Jen!


message 339: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan | 383 comments I'm in the middle of like three books right now so hopefully I will be caught up by Friday! lol. Once I have time to read, I can usually get through a book pretty quick! My work schedule changed like two weeks ago so I think that's part of the reason! I'm excited to read Lies though!


message 340: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
Meaghan, I'm also in the middle of 4 books right now, so I know how that goes!

Hi Amanda! The one we're planning for Friday is Lies by Michael Grant, it's the third book in the Gone series, have you read the first two? We'll be posting a link as soon as the thread is up! But basically all a buddy read is, is when we read a book at the same time and discuss it :) Hopefully you can join us for one soon!

Hey, Jen, can we push back this buddy read a week or two? I'm waiting for this one from the library and it doesn't seem to be moving at all. I'm still in the same place in line as I was 3 days ago. :)

But if you've started it already, I'll go ahead and buy it instead.

It was on sale a couple of weeks ago for $1.99. Not sure if it still is or not. I almost bought it, but trying to save my pennies!

After Lies would be perfect, I can't juggle multiple books like you can!
