Does anyone want to read 'Blinders' with me? whenever I read a book I desperately want to discuss it with somebody, but I can't share the book with anyone. This platform is an innovative way to fulfill that need. Well done!!

So...

I just read the 14th October Daye book (Seanan McGuire), and I'm seriously thinking about rereading the entire series, but having someone to read them with me (as a reread or a newbie, doesn't matter) would be AMAZING!


Obviously, this is probably a COMMITMENT, as, like I said, I just finished book FOURTEEN, so I'm not expecting anyone to actually go for this, but I have to put it out there.


Any takers? :D :D :D

The series is actually on my reading list. If we can take a break between books now and then, I will be glad to read it with you. :) :)

HI everyone! I'm currently reading Escaping from Houdini and am going to read the novella 'Becoming the Dark Prince' and the fourth book in the series 'Capturing the Devil' once I'm done with it. This third book really gave me a lot of emotions so I'm planning on reading the novella and/or the fourth book with someone!

I've been looking for a readying buddy for some time now as well. Either that or we can also choose a new book to read together as well! Feel free to send me a pm if anyone's interested! (:

I love read-a-longs!


Unfortunately, my reading is very slow at the moment and I'm in the middle of a full series read-a-long, so I can't commit to anything right now, but would love to do a read-a-long of something later. :)

This is such a fun idea. Are people currently doing this ? It would be great to discuss a book as reading with someone at the same time. Love this.
