Read-Alongs/Buddy Reads/Co-Reads, anyone?
(For those who don't know what they are, two or more people read the same book, at the same time, and discuss it.)
Opinions? Would you participate in one? Start one?
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

Anyone interested in forcing me to finally read IT?

Maybe you should add a poll to your first post.

I should have done that first off.
I must be coffee deficient.

would you be interested in co reading with me? are there any books that look interesting to you?PlanetHauth wrote: ↑09 Jun 2018, 23:07 I think this could be fun! I usually talk about the books I read with my husband or friends, but my husband doesn't read a lot right now because the Navy demands pretty much all of his free time, and he doesn't read the same things I do (outside of Sci-Fi/Fantasy). This would be a great way to improve book review skills too, I think, because having different perspectives being discussed can help some think of things in a different light than they normally would.

I would love to! I'll read almost anything, non-fiction not included. My favorite is Sci-Fi/Fantasy, closely followed by romance/erotica, but I love a good mystery or thriller too.Kelsey anne wrote: ↑19 Jun 2018, 11:16would you be interested in co reading with me? are there any books that look interesting to you?PlanetHauth wrote: ↑09 Jun 2018, 23:07 I think this could be fun!

great! I read everything I haven't read any good romance novels lately though. You can choose a book for us to begin reading together and if all goes well I will choose the next one I'm excited to begin co reading with you and it will be fun to compare our perspectivesPlanetHauth wrote: ↑21 Jun 2018, 01:07I would love to!
