Carri Carey | 1244 comments Here are your twins for February!

Goodreads has made some changes recently and direct messaging will be going away. A post has been created for each pair of readers. You can discuss your book choices, questions, thoughts, and reviews with each other there. Find your post below!

Within your discussion group, make sure to click “notify me when people comment” to get notifications!

If you don't hear from your twin after a few days, comment here and pair yourself up with someone else who didn't hear. Please give people a couple days to respond, as we’re all busy in our non-reading lives too!

We would love to hear what book you and your twin chose and what you thought of it.

Happy reading!

Natalie (natalitsa0110) | 55 comments I would like to be repaired.

Amanda  Edgar (amandaedgar) | 150 comments Natalie - I haven't heard from my partner yet either. I was going to give it a few more days because I checked in on the 3rd but i'd be happy to pair up with you (if mods approve). I compared our WTR list, and we have a good amount of books in common.

Do you happen to also be a therapist by any chance? 😃

Natalie (natalitsa0110) | 55 comments Hello Amanda! Thanks for reaching out! 😊 I would like to pair up with you as well (if mods approve). I think a thread will be created for us, so we can discuss further our options. Until then, I will, also, have a look at your tbr to check the options. 🙂 Therapist, you mean like psychotherapy?


message 6: by Alexw (new)

Alexw | 163 comments Please add me to the list as I have heard nothing from my pairing..


message 7: by Alexw (new)

Alexw | 163 comments Wow all 3 of us have Station Eleven on our TBR lists.

okay cool 😊 and yes, I just ask because you have a lot of Yalom and some therapy books on your WTR. I'm a psychotherapist and have read a lot of them or have them on my WTR as well haha but if not, I love that you enjoy reading those types of books :)

Hello again! :) I hope you are doing well. I have checked your list as well, we have several in common, indeed. I love psychology books and I love Yalom. :) I am, also, studying to be a psychoterapist, I am not yet. :)
Would you prefer to decide on something common and to start reading or waiting a few more days for the tread to be created? I have some books in mind, depending on our common reads and on what I possess right now. Let me know what you think.

Totally understandable but there also other people that haven't heard from their pairs yet, so you may adress one of them and this way eveyone can have a chance to be paired up and not miss the opportunity to read together with somebody. :)


Temitayomiyoshiseun Jemison | 121 comments Hello I haven’t heard from my twin yet???

haha that makes sense then!! I knew you had to be in the field :) but I would say let's wait for the mods to create a thread for us, because I just started a book but I'm down to pick something to start after I finish my current read! It's not super long so I should be finished in two or three days max


message 13: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  Edgar (amandaedgar) | 150 comments But we can pick it whenever cause I may have to order it or grab it from B&N, if it's not one I already have so hopefully we can get a thread soon!


message 14: by Alexw (new)

Alexw | 163 comments Hi Temitayomiyoshiseun-My twin has not responded either -how about you and I get a thread on Sharp Objects by Gillian Flyn as that intriguing novel is on our TBR lists.


message 15: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  Edgar (amandaedgar) | 150 comments Alex - I could have sworn we were in another challenge together, but I can't seem to find it lol

I was gonna say, if you want to BR Station Eleven in the HOB group, I'd be happy to do that :) Idk if I can get to it this month, but definitely next month!


message 16: by Alexw (new)

Alexw | 163 comments Amanda-We are members of Spine Breakers.
Whoever wants to buddy read with me, I am ready so please let's get a thread going.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be confusing. I meant we could BR separately for that book if you want, since I paired with Natalie for this!


message 18: by Alexw (new)

Alexw | 163 comments Amanda- Great idea in Message 17- Lets you and I start a thread in Invisible Life Of Addie LaRue in Hooked on Books and with your permission I will set up today?

Sounds good to me!

haha, some things cannot be hidden. Waiting for the trad to be created is absolutely fine with me as I, also, read somthing else at the moment. :) In order to choose, the ones I have right now, and don't have a specific preference among them, are either Momma and the meaning of life- Yalom ( ;)) or Small things like these- Claire Keegan. What do you think?


message 21: by Natalie (new)

Natalie (natalitsa0110) | 55 comments Alex, I didn't mean to turn you down, I just thought since there other people on the same position, everybody to get a chance to co-read. :)


message 22: by Alexw (new)

Alexw | 163 comments Natalie- Thanks for the follow up and I know you did not slight me.


message 23: by Carri Carey, TBR Twins (new)

Carri Carey | 1244 comments Admin here - we don't mind at all if you want to switch it up! Or for anyone to pair up who hasn't heard from their twin.
I figured you could still use the posts that one of you is assigned to. Would you rather I relabel them? It really doesn't matter to me who you pair with, it's all about what you want!

Temitayomiyoshiseun Jemison | 121 comments Yes Alex that would be great Sharp Objects it is. I’m excited.
