Ruby Black (ruby_black) Okay, so I might be a little bit dense here. But what exactly does buddy reads entail? (ie what is buddy reads?) :)

well basically two or more people decide to read the same book and start at approximately the same time and then discuss the book while reading it.

Lol that's ok Rubes, I had to be educated a while back too and I've only done two of them so far. But they're fun and add a little bit to the reading, but it can be hard to find someone to read what you're reading :)


message 11: by Lola (new)

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments I am a member of a goodreads group entirely dedicated to buddy reads, they are fun to do, although I don't do them that often. I like to read whatever I am in the mood for and have difficulties planning a buddy read.

I'm planning on starting Days of Blood & Starlight (Daughter of Smoke and Bone, #2) by Laini Taylor in a few days. Anyone interested in doing a buddy read?


message 13: by Lola (new)

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments I still have to read the first book in that series.


message 14: by Ruby (new)

Ruby Black (ruby_black) @David Cool beans! Phew, I don't feel so bad that I am learning everything from scratch :)

So, buddy reads is kind of what a lit class is like except you read and discuss with only a few people instead of a mass of 50 ppl. Awesomeness.

You know, looking at all the books I have, I can wait! I haven't bought it yet. ;-). I'll wait a few weeks/months and see if anyone's ready by then. Sooooo many books... so little time! Haha...

Let me know when you're ready. I have so many books to read on my Nook in the meantime! :-)

Lol sounds good!


message 22: by Lola (new)

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments I would like to join the buddy read for days of Blood and Starlight. I just ordered it on TBD, so it may take some time before my copy arrives.


message 23: by David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;) (new)

David Estes (davidestesbooks) | 10717 comments Mod
Awesome!! We were thinking February, does that work? I've still got to get a copy and Karen is patiently waiting for me lol :)


message 24: by Lola (new)

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments I think february will be okay. If TBD is being really slow it takes them 3 weeks from now on to get the book to me :p, but usually it takes 2 weeks. I will let you know when my copy has arrived. I am really looking forward to reading it, especially after reading how the first book ended.

David Estes (davidestesbooks) | 10717 comments Mod
No worries! We'll wait for you no matter how long it takes, neither Karen or I are in a hurry because we always have so many other books to read lol!


message 26: by Lola (new)

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments Thanks! I am looking forward to buddy reading this book with you!
I also have many other books to read, my to-read list only seems to be growing and I still have quite a few review books that I should be reading.

Well, let me know when they do :)


message 33: by Lola (new)

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments I will let you know :). I really want to read the book before the movie comes out so I can come up with my own ideas of how everything and everyone looks like.

I'm planning to read the entire series before the movie. Sometimes the movie has spoilers for the next books, like in THG :)


message 35: by Lola (new)

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments I am not sure whether I am going to see the movie, but often there are posters everywhere about them. Sometimes the movies are done well, I guess I'll just wait and hear what others think of it first.

You might also wanna read this before if you haven't already Radiant (Unearthly, #2.5) by Cynthia Hand it takes place over the summer just before college. I'm glad i read it before Boundless.


message 45: by Lola (new)

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments I have already read Radiant :). I think it was a very good short story and it makes me really curious as to what will happen in boundless.

David Estes (davidestesbooks) | 10717 comments Mod
I need to read Radiant still! Is it very long?


message 47: by Lola (new)

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments No it is pretty short, but I do think it is nice to read it before Boundless. It also has some chapters from Angela's point of view.
