message 1: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Even though Elyssa & I wil be hosting our own BuddyReads twice every month, I would love to have more than one going on in this group at once. If you have a book that you would like to lead a BR for, post it below! :D

**I was thinking, we could also use the BR's as "group reads" of a sort. Mayb ewe could work something out. Let me know if you ahve any ideas!**

Mmmm...I have been trying to start the Stephanie Plum series...so maybe One for the Money (Stephanie Plum, #1) by Janet Evanovich around the 25th of October


message 3: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Okay, I do not have a problem with that at all if you wait to host it here in this group. But you must make sure that you post what we are easing, and try to keep the conversation going. I might even be able to help out occasionally. :)


message 4: by Nicolle (new)

Nicolle Will make a list of books I want to read and hopefully someone will want to read at least one of them too!

Northern Lights
Peter Pan
The Borrowers
Angels & Demons
The Lord of the Rings
White Teeth
Skulduggery Pleasant
Hush, Hush
The Poisonwood Bible

can start at any time...


message 5: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Nicolle, have you read The Hobbit? It's the prequel to the LotR series.


message 6: by Nicolle (new)

Nicolle No, I heard you don't have to as the version I have gives you some background info about it but I will if someone wants to do that...


★M±ð²µ³ó²¹²Ô★ (starinheaven) | 278 comments Mod
On the 5th of December I will probably start...Night World, No. 1: Secret Vampire; Daughters of Darkness; Spellbinder (Night World, #1-3) If anyone wants to join me.


message 8: by Nicolle (new)

Nicolle I already read those!! (though they are really good!!)


message 9: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) I will reread those with you, Meghan!

And Nicolle, I won't make you read it if don't want to. Was just wondering.

[boo..."


Nicolle, I want to start reading [book:Angels & Demons|960], too. Would you want to co-host a buddy read for this book with me? We could start around December 20th or something.


message 11: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) I can comment occasionally since I have already read this novel.

Chloe (chloebooklover) Near the end of December would anyone like to read one of the following?

~A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
~The Opposite of Chocolate
~Beautiful Creatures
~The Summer of Skinny Dipping
~The Mysterious Benedict Society
~A Great and Terrible Beauty
~Speak
~The Book Thief
~North of Beautiful
~Evermore

Either post back here or message me!

~Chloe :D

ps, it doesn't have to be end of Dec... I just put that as an idea, but im fine with anything.


message 14: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) I am all for reading Speak! I have recently bought that one and am anxious to read it. When would you want to start it?


message 15: by Nicolle (new)

Nicolle The opposite of chocolate is one of my fav books. I own it so I could read again when you do!


message 16: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Hmm, the title is really catchy. What did you rate it, Nicolle?


message 17: by Chloe (new)

Chloe (chloebooklover) Zakiya, I would probably want to start it in about a week or two? I have 2 books that I want to finish and maybe another one before speak, but I could always read it at the same time. What were you thinking? I am really up for anything.

Nicolle, I would also read Opposite of Chocolate with you, but only if you don't mind reading it again. Whenever you want, just let me know! If I am reading Speak with Zakiya than maybe afterwards, unless she wants to join in on Opposite of Chocolate, too!


message 18: by Zakiya (last edited Dec 19, 2010 10:20AM) (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) It really doesn't matter to me. Since you suggested it, whatever works for you. Maybe the 3rd or 4th of Jan.?

Hmm, bad news for us: They don't have TOoC in the Kindle Store, and I'm broke, and parents aren't buying me anything, so I won't be able to read Opposite of Chocolate with you :(.


message 19: by Chloe (new)

Chloe (chloebooklover) Zakiya, that's okay, we can read Speak! (Nicolle, I will still read OoC with you if you want). Yeah, Jan. 3rd sounds perfect it is the day I go back to school, so good timing. Just planning ahead in case we don't get a chance to discuss it, but I'm thinking like 40 or 50th page to start... we'll see... what do you think?

What do you mean by that exactly? Sorry, my mind's thinking of fish because that's what my mom's fixin' :).


message 21: by Chloe (new)

Chloe (chloebooklover) Haha Zakiya! What I meant was like, we could start by reading o the 50th page. Is that how Buddy Reads works?


message 22: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Oh yes, that's how they work. Haha, sorry about that. :). That sounds good to me. It will need to end a chapter, though, so you'll just have to check that.


message 23: by Chloe (new)

Chloe (chloebooklover) Sure, I'll check it.


message 24: by Nicolle (new)

Nicolle I rated it 5 stars.

Ok, we can start opposite of chocolate whenever you want.


message 25: by Chloe (new)

Chloe (chloebooklover) So,

Zakiya - Jan. 3rd 50th page?

Nicolle - Um... how about today? Haha I just have it here and I am reading a really boring book, so... But whatever works for you!


message 26: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) No thats fine! I am not at home right now, but I will start it sometime today. Also, if we read to page 50 by January, then shouldn't we just start the buddy read now? Or are you saying that the 50th page will be the first assignment on January 3rd? Srry, just a little confused.


message 27: by Chloe (last edited Dec 20, 2010 09:02AM) (new)

Chloe (chloebooklover) Zakiya - hey! haha yeah i'm a little confused too :P So wait - are you reading opposite/chocolate too? cause i thought you couldn't... haha, um, what do you think? I think the 50th page started jan. 3rd sounds good. unless you want to start earlier which would be awesome too! it would just have to be on wednesday or after because speak is at my dad's.

still confused? im a bit :P


message 28: by Nicolle (new)

Nicolle OK today is fine, make a topic.


message 29: by Chloe (new)

Chloe (chloebooklover) Will do :) Um, what page are you thinking?

No, I won't be reading OoC. And we can start on the 26th? Day after Christmas. Is that okay with you?


message 31: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) I got my copy of the book and looked. If we did this by 50 pages, that means that we would be reading by the marking periods. The First Marking Period ends on page 46. So from like Dec 26th to Dec 28th we can read First Marking Period. Then Dec 29th to Dec 31st, we read Second Marking Period, which lasts through page 92.

I like that better. How does that sound to you?


message 32: by Chloe (new)

Chloe (chloebooklover) Zakiya, that sounds perfect. And Dec. 26th is good for me. Do you want to make the topic or should I?


message 33: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Uhm, I can be over this one. (Unless you wanted to?) Besides, you already have OoC to manage :D.


message 34: by Daria (new)

Daria (dariadeptula) Does anyone want to Buddy Read Evermore with me? I've been wanting to read it for a long time.


message 35: by Nicolle (new)

Nicolle I really want to read it but haven't got it at the moment but might after christmas if you haven't read it by then.


★M±ð²µ³ó²¹²Ô★ (starinheaven) | 278 comments Mod
I have to check my Nook and see if I have it. I want to read that one too.


message 37: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) I'm stuck in the middle of it right now. I don't mind waiting for you & Meghan to catch up.


message 38: by Heather B (new)

Heather B (heatherbenson) I'm hoping to read Body Surfing by Anita Shreve some time this summer. Would anyone else be interested in reading it with me?
