You have a couple of days. I won't be able to start until Friday night. We can push it back a few days if we need to, David. :)

I am, Stephanie in another group. Are you part of YA Buddy Readers Corner?

I am also really behind, last weekend killed me for any free time! I probably won't start reading Plague (Gone, #4) by Michael Grant until atleast Saturday!

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments Jenny let me know when you want to do Blue Hearts of Mars by Nicole Grotepas . I'm about 1/3 of the way in, but I'll wait for you. It's a pretty quick read so far.[


message 414: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
Okay...I'll have to let you know, I'm still working on Vortex, but I can skip over to this book instead if you'd rather! Monday I'm reading Jellicoe road with David and a few other people I think on Heidi's group.


message 415: by Jen (new)

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments No problem - definitely finish Vortex! It was amazing! Let me know when you're free, and we'll do it then.


Karen’s Library | 11320 comments Mod
I'll jump in because I read it and had no one to blather on about it to! Yay!


message 417: by Jen (new)

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments Wonderful! I'm not sure about how I feel about it so far . . . it will be nice to talk about it!


message 418: by Jen (new)

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments OK Jenny and Karen - ready for Blue Hearts of Mars by Nicole Grotepas ? Let's do it! I can set up the buddy read if you're all set to go.


message 419: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
Yes, let's do it Jen!


Karen’s Library | 11320 comments Mod
Cool. I want to see what you think. :-)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
Grrr...well, it turns out I no longer have a copy of Blue Hearts of Mars, my Netgalley expired. I swear I still had 2 more weeks on it, but apparently not! So I guess forget the buddy read, just go ahead and read on your own, Jen!

No problem. I'll just go ahead and finish it. Hope you can get a copy, though, because it's pretty good!

Karen’s Library | 11320 comments Mod
Yes! Absolutely! Anytime you're ready, Jenny!

Yay, Jen! I had an inkling you might like that one but wasn't sure if you'd read it yet or not. I've been watching so many videos of both of you with massive amounts of books read and unread that my brain decided to scramble. ;-)

Tuesday it is!

Hopefully you can find someone to read it with you, Natalie! A whole bunch of us are reading this series, and we just finished the 4th book. Really great series!


message 436: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
I just thought I would mention, for anyone who is reading a book that already had a buddy read done awhile ago, you can still join on the specific buddy read thread, I'm sure a lot of use would respond to any comments you'd want to leave!

Sherry | 76 comments I'm just about to start The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking, #1) by Patrick Ness if anyone is interested in doing a Buddy Read

Sherry, I started this a couple of weeks ago, but got side-tracked. I'd do a buddy read if you want. I want to read it and maybe that's the push I need. How does it work?

Ice Country is also in my future. Did you read that already?

Sure, I've only ever done one buddy read before, and I just joined in one already started. So I don't actually know how they start/work, lol.

And yes, I did read Ice Country already. Once I got started on the Country Saga I couldn't put them down, so I read them all back to back.


message 448: by Tracy (last edited Jul 27, 2013 02:11PM) (new)

Tracy | 823 comments Just create a thread for the book, if there isn't one already, and visit it to talk about where you are in the book and what you think about it. Or you can do a chapter a day read. Do the same, create a thread, and read a chapter a day and visit the thread and talk about it.

I am waiting on this from the library and can't wait!

Perfect, thanks for the clarification Tracy.

I'll go ahead and start a thread for it Kelly, and anyone else who would like to join in reading it. I'll probably start tonight or tomorrow.

I'll start a thread for you guys for The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking, #1) by Patrick Ness

http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

If you let me know when you want to start, I'll add the date to the intro. Just read at your own pace, let your buddies know where you're at using %, or chapter. Use spoilers. I know that I love to read on until I reach a spoiler point just so I can read my buddy's spoiler and put in my two cents. :)

I'm about to add a buddy read that Jenny and I are starting today.

HAVE FUN!!
