message 1: by Ann (new)

Ann (annabell123) I was just wondering if anyone would want to do a buddy read. I'm in another group that does it once a month, but I'd love to do a buddy read more often than that. Is anyone interested in reading a book with me?


message 2: by Desperado (new)

Desperado (lethallovely) | 822 comments I love buddy reads! Which book are you planning on reading?


message 3: by Ann (new)

Ann (annabell123) I'm actually open to whatever...I was hoping to find someone who was interested and then maybe decide based on our tbr shelves.


message 4: by Shannon Carly (new)

Shannon Carly (shannibal) | 141 comments I'd be willing to do this too, just let me know what you want to read. :)


message 5: by Desperado (new)

Desperado (lethallovely) | 822 comments Hmmm. I looked at your TBR shelves & I didn't see anything I plan on reading or can get my hands on any time soon. Hopefully someone else will be happy to join you. Have fun!


message 6: by Ann (new)

Ann (annabell123) That's alright! Thanks anyway, maybe you can find someone from this thread also.

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments Annabell,

If you scroll down the group home page, you will find a folder called Dare-You-To-Read Challenge. This is actually a place to do buddy reads. You can browse through the current threads and see what books/series/themes are already being discussed, or you can start your own.

Hope that helps.

Cottonballs | 4 comments Annabell, are you still looking for a buddy?


message 9: by Ann (new)

Ann (annabell123) Yes, I would love a buddy! Shannon and I are going to do a buddy read also, but I'd love to do another!


message 10: by Shannon Carly (new)

Shannon Carly (shannibal) | 141 comments I'm open to doing another read after this one too. :)


message 11: by Ann (new)

Ann (annabell123) Sweet! :)


message 12: by Skena (new)

Skena Megahed | 347 comments I know it's a silly question .but, what's a buddy read ?
is it to read the same book and discuss it together? if so I'd love to have buddy read to .
here in Egypt ,I never found a book club and most the people I know doesn't read or only read in Arabic .


message 13: by Fran, Moderator (new)

Fran | 12278 comments Annabell, I noticed we both have Manhunting on our tbr shelf- would love to read this with you whenever you want. If anyone else wants to join in that would be great. No rush, whenever it works out. :)

No silly question at all, Skena! That's exactly what a buddy read is. :)


message 15: by D.G. (new)

D.G. | 4477 comments I'd be interested in buddy read too if it's something from our mutual TBRs. :)


message 16: by Cottonballs (new)

Cottonballs | 4 comments I'm interested whenever it's a good time for everyone.


message 17: by Shannon Carly (new)

Shannon Carly (shannibal) | 141 comments Hey everyone, Annabell are going to be reading The Hunger Games soon if anyone interested in reading as well. D.G. and Cottonballs, I see we both have some common books on our shelves as well. Maybe next the 4 of us could all read something together. I'm open to read anything. :)


message 18: by Chrizette (new)

Chrizette I have read the first one - Hunger Games - but will join when you guys get to book 2 and 3.


message 19: by D.G. (new)

D.G. | 4477 comments I'm planning to read Catching Fire in February. If you are planning to read it then, please let me know and I'll wait for you!


message 20: by Ann (new)

Ann (annabell123) Fran - I would love to do Manhunting some time. I also just added Darkfever to my list, and it looks like that is on your tbr also. Maybe we could do that sometime too...I'd love to read the whole series with you!

Chriz - I will send you an email when we get there.

D.G. - I am not sure if we will read that one in February or not. I am game for it, so even if Shannon can't, I will join you. For now, I will see if I can get it from the library or if I need to buy it.

And everyone, I am also doing a buddy read with Skena....we will be reading Good Grief starting on Sunday the 30th.


message 21: by Shannon Carly (new)

Shannon Carly (shannibal) | 141 comments Yeah, I'm game for the next book in the Hunger Series if I like the first one (I hear they're all excellent).

I'll also be buying the whole Fever series by Karen Moning at the begining of next month. I know I'll get to atleast read Darkfever in Feb., probably the next in the series as well. So, I'll join anyone wanting to read that.


What a great suggestion this was Annabell! :)


message 22: by Samantha (new)

Samantha | 1381 comments I think Buddy reads are great.


message 23: by AlbertaJenn (new)

AlbertaJenn | 0 comments I think I need to add all the book on my real TBR shelf to my GR to-read shelf before I can jump on board with this. Must do some editing....


message 24: by Xiomara (new)

Xiomara (mikaha) I want to do a buddy read with someone!
I'll read anything, I'm on vacation :)

I think there is a discussion started on the Dare-You-to-Read section for the Fever series...but I'm open to discussing it through email also. Yay I am so excited!

Great, just let me know when you are ready to read Manhunting and I'm in. Yes, there is a Fever series thread in the Dare To Read section- keep putting that one off for some reason, but will try to get to it in Feb.


message 27: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey Xiomara! We've got 87% book compatibility (how cool is that!!!) Would you like to read Too Good To Be True by Kristin Higgins? I am not a great fan of Higgins so I think it might be more bearable if I had someone to read it with!


message 28: by Xiomara (new)

Xiomara (mikaha) I'm game, let's read that. I started it but put it down and started with something else, it wasn't bad but didn't held my attention.But reading like this, I'll finish it.
I read you liked psychology so if you want to read anything related i'm in, too. I study psychology at college.


message 29: by D.G. (new)

D.G. | 4477 comments Xiomara! I have a book from your TBR that I'm planning to read in February! Fallen from Grace. If you are willing to read it in February, please let me know and we can do it together. :)

Annabell & Shannon: Please let me know when you think you may be available to read Catching Fire. That way I can plan my reading for the month. :)


message 30: by Xiomara (new)

Xiomara (mikaha) Hi D.G.! let's read it!


message 31: by D.G. (new)

D.G. | 4477 comments Great! I sent you a friend request...I'll send you a message to discuss when you'd like to get started!


message 32: by Cottonballs (new)

Cottonballs | 4 comments Wait! I wanna read Catching Fire too ;).
