NetGalley Buddy Readers discussion

YAY! Me too!!

Shruti and I are starting:

hopefully tomorrow, 5/21

Thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Did we want to plan this one? I know quite a few of us have it - is there a month we'd like to aim for?

Mine is still pending, but I am hopeful of getting it. I've been offered widgets of her last couple of books so 🤞. Don't let me hold you back from setting a date or anything, but if it was a week or so away then that should hopefully give me time to get an approval (or rejection)

It doesn't publish till Sept 5 so I'm for end of July or beginning of August.

I want to join some buddy reads. I have been out of touch for a few months with the death of my dad. I am behind on netgalley books. I also would like to join up reading with some folks to boost my interest in reading again. :-)

Hi Debbicat - So sorry for your loss. Completely understandable that NG hasn't been your priority recently.

Welcome back. I'll link our current upcoming schedule below. Feel free to jump in to any of the discussions or post suggestions for books you'd like to read in this thread. Also, if we previously read something that you still have on your shelf, feel free to pop on to those threads as well. People will sometimes go back to chat about a book again.

Our schedule: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can imagine that could throw off your reading groove.

I'm a big buddy reader so I've got you! I stalked your shelves - for Netgalley

I'd be down to read these - just pick a dates to start!
(You can also stalk my shelves lol let me know if you see any I have that you'd want to read)

&

a few of us have been kicking around buddy reading so I went ahead and made a thread so we can remember to schedule it and get closer to picking a start date!

How wonderful! Yes, let's read the Astrology House! I will look at your shelf too. When you all buddy read in here, where do you discuss? I have put that book off for so long. Glad I can finally get to enjoy it with a friend here.

oh no! I'm sorry, I thought you had Mayra on your Netgalley shelf!!

We can just do

Is there a good day to start?

(Once we pick a date, we'll make a thread and then discuss in the thread as we go along)

Trisha, (and anyone else who has it)
I am starting The Death of Us in the next day or two.
Do you have time to read it now?

oh sure. Want to make a thread and we'll set a day?

I don’t think I have that one.

I've read The Death of Us, and all I will say is be prepared. It was an amazing book, but it was such an uncomfortable read.

I went ahead and made a thread for our The Astrology House chat!

it's here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

We can talk there about when we want to start!

I made a thread and put June 7
Meet me there and we can adjust the date if needed

Looking at starting June 10 if anyone else has it.

I also have due in July so could start it maybe late June/early July.

Just saw your update. I can start tonight. Sorry I didn’t see it in time to start Monday. I just chimed in on the book thread. :)

Is anyone else reading A Vow of Vengeance by Jaclyn Rodriguez? just started and was seeing if anyone else has signed up for it.

Loving it so far

Also, just got The Killer Question. Is there a thread for that?

Yep. It's here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Trisha, I clicked the link for the Our Last Resort thread and it didn't go through nor can I find it! Are we still starting tomorrow-ish?

awe, I hate when my threads disappear!
Yes, I made a new one:

and I should be a day late but otherwise, there!

hooray! I'll join on that one too!

Is there anywhere you all post what you are requesting that you want to buddy read? I'd like to know what is being requested so I can participate more. Is that maybe over on the main page?

Still getting back in the swing of things after taking some time away due to family things.

Hi Debbicat!

You request it here to see if there is interest. Then, if a couple of people are interested, then someone makes a thread.
Here is the LINK where the actual threads are to talk about specific books.

Thanks so much much, Vikki!

Theresa and I are reading

I have it. So excited for this one. I love the series!
I will join when I can.

YES! I've loved this series since book 1 too! SO good! Perfect, jump in when you can!

Theresa and I are reading:

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

Does anyone else have Don't Let Him In? It publishes in 4 days and I really need to get on it.

I don't have it Kristie but plan on getting it on publication day so if you are reading post publication then let me know. I don't think it was on Netgalley in the UK otherwise I would have requested

Sounds good, Kevin. I'm not a fast reader, so even if I do manage to start it before publication day I won't get very far. I can make a thread to start on pub day if you'd like.

Yeah that sounds good to me Kristie.

I read that one - curious to see what you guys will think!!

Excellent. Thread for Don't Let Him In is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Trisha - pop on over and leave your thoughts too.

I have don't let him in! So I can join you.

That's great Katrisa. Look forward to reading it with you.

Very good!
