Shreya and Leena - Book Buddies Thread

Hey Leena,

How would you like to do this? I was thinking we could alternate choosing books and then sharing our reviews of the books here. 2 is listed in the rules (shared below) but I'm sure we can do more if we want to.

You will then Buddy Read 2 books during the month.

Each book will be suggested by one person.

Make sure you’re picking books that are easily available.

Keep in mind your Book Bestie’s triggers (if they have any) & offer 2-3 choices.

Your Book Bestie will be someone from another team (again, we will do our best to ensure this but it’s not guaranteed)

Once grouped, one of you will post your Buddy Reading thread, and you will continue to post your comments and reviews in the thread.

Participation must be evident from both Besties in order to receive the special badge - this includes offering choices and discussions on what books you will be picking for the month, and deciding the pace of reading.

Note that the pace does not have to match. For e.g.: One buddy may read ahead and finish the book, while the other may be slower, but the point is for both to finish reading the book during the month.

Hey, Shreya.

I thought since it's two books (for now), each of us will suggest a book and see if we both are okay with them before reading.

What say?

Like you list down your top 3 and I'll pick only one that I like, and the other way around as well until we get the 2 books that are established on common grounds.

If you've any other ideas, do let me know.

That works for me. Here's my list of 3 books:

Harm's Way - John Gilstrap

The Lady in the Lake - Raymond Chandler

Assassins' deeds : a history of assassination from ancient Egypt to the present day - John Withington

Harm's Way sounds good.

It reminds me of this book I read a few years ago.

In Cold Blood is actually on my list to read so let's go with that one.

Harm's Way is part of a series - it's a really good series. Simple, but so well written that you can almost see the action play out in front of your eyes.
