Hi Nitya! I'm currently reading Pride and prejudice (I'm on chapter 5) if you want to join me.
But we could start any other book if you'd like!

Okay! How many chapters do you wanna read in 1 day?

The chapters are really short, some are only 1 or 2 pages so maybe we could read 50 pages per day? I don't know if you work or have school but we could slow the pace down

Okay! I think I can manage that, but I'll let you know.

Which books do you wanna read this month?

I'll need some time to get them from the library.

How many books do you think we'll read this month?
Why don't I choose two (Pride & Prejudice and The Midnight Library) and you choose two and we'll see how far along we get

I see you're currently reading Lady Midnight, when you finish Lord of Shadows let me know and we can buddy read Queen of Air and Darkness as well

Okay! How about A Darker Shade of Magic and Gone Girl?

I'm actually reading the entire series with someone else, so I probably won't get to Queen of Air and Darkness until April

Okay! H..."

Great! I think four books is good (1 per week since we're both doing other buddy reads as well)

Okay! :)

Hello Naomi!

I have a question.

How many chapters do you wanna read per day?
I know we agreed on 50 pages, but I'm listening to an audiobook.

Yesterday I finished chapter 11 ( 48 pages)
So here's a general outline:
Thursday, March 4: Chapters 12 - 22 (55 pages)
Friday, March 5: Chapters 23 - 34 (52 pages)
Saturday, March 6: Chapters 35 - 43 (50 pages)
Sunday, March 7: Chapters 44 - 52 (54 pages)
Monday, March 8: Chapters 53 - 61 (45 pages)

Let me know if you read more or less. What chapter are you on?

I'm almost done with chapter 5

Okay thanks!

Do you wanna read The Little Prince too?
It's only like 50 pages

Yes! I didn't know it was so short!

Okay! :)

Nvm it's 93 pages not 50

We can read The Little Prince together, but it won't count for any points, because the rules state that the book must be at least 100 pages

HIII I literally couldn't find this discussion - I forgot what group it was in - that's why I didn't reply lol. I have to save this page on my browser I guess 😂

Lol

We could read it if you want (maybe at the end of the month or after the challenge finishes)

Hello! :)

Okay sure!

I love your pfp so much! It's so cute!

I was thinking...after this challenge ends, do want to continue buddy reading? Because we have so many books in common in our TBR. Maybe we could do like a series per month or two?
I really really want to read:
The School for Good and Evil (7 books: these are extremely long so it could probably take like 3 months to finish)
The Alchemyst (8 books: could probably take us 2 months to read)
The Chronicles of Narnia (7 books: could take 2 months to read as well)
IDK, it's just an idea because I love the idea of having a set partner to talk the tbr this year, let me know :)

Thank you! Cloudy helped me find it!

Yes! I would love to do that!

Yeah same. I love to buddy read! :)

Great!! BTW, how are you coming along with Pride & Prejudice? I'm a little behind but I'll catch up today

I still have to read today's chapters

Okay!

Pride & Prejudice is actually better than I thought it would be.
I love Elizabeth.

What are your thoughts?

I have a question.
My friend and I are planning on buddy reading all of the Shadowhunter books.
We're currently reading Lord of Shadows.
One we're done with that, do you wanna read Queen of Air and Darkness with us?

YESSSS! I've been procrastinating on starting that book for 2 weeks now, I'd love to join

Okay! We'll probably start at the end of March

I'll let my friend know :)

What are your thoughts?"

I'm going to switch to audiobook right now (I'm on page 100 ish) because I just can't get into reading it and I think audiobook might help along with that. I hope so because I really want to like this book :(

Sorry, but I wasn't able to finish today.
But I'll finish this tomorrow.

Have you finished it? I think I'll finish today and we can start Gone Girl or a Darker Shade of Magic

No not yet sorry

But I don't have that much left so I'll be able to finish today.

Can we start Gone Girl? I don't have a copy of the other 2 books yet

yup, Gone Girl sounds good, let me know

Okay!

(And you were right. I am 10 chapters into Lord of Shadows and I hate it so much. It's so boring)

I found myself skimming through most books of TMI and TDA :(

Yeah they're both pretty boring
And the characters ugh

I'm going to try to remember all the parts I want to vent about. Do you have a thread with your friend that you're buddy reading with?

Yeah. Well, we have a secret group. Give me a min. I'll invite you to it

Oooooo! Secret!
