The Buddy Reads/ Read-alongs Connection thread - Page 5

Could I buddy read Hamlet with you guys?

Yes, I don't mind.

And I guess, others too won't mind.

You gotta be okay with slower pacing. Otherwise, if you read the whole book and still wanna discuss, just make sure you don't drop any spoilers and just weigh in on the parts being discussed on that day, if that works for you. I've done Buddy Reads/ Read-alongs where i've read ahead, but have made notes for each chapter so I can talk about only that portion. But it does take away from some of the fun, because the rest of the group os theorizing while I already knew how it all went. So it's not the same.

But it's upto you. Will add you to the group. We will likely start next week as soon as I have my book.

When I started reading books, 2 years ago, I was like "ok....meh but fine, won't skip, just let me read" but now I actually know it all. There's nothing special in it for it to be written once in every 3 chapters. Plus, I'm a very imaginative person. I read words and I simultaneously form images of it my brain while reading/even while speaking. So, I feel like vomiting when it gets excessive

In case anyone reads Chinese novels under 500 chapters (read 200 if chaps are longer), tag me!!

Have you read "How Dare You?" (The one which is getting adapted into a drama with Cheng Lei & Wang Churan)?

I just started it today. If you haven't, then maybe we can do a buddy read. I am fine with any chinese novel until and unless it's BL

I'm fine with a few scenes, it's only annoying for me when the same thing is happening on every page.

I’m not in a no smut phase. In fact I read smut if there’s some good romance / conversation/ angst accompanying it — but dark romance these days is overwhelmingly full of smut

My mind literally went like all smut and no talk makes Vera a very aggravated reader so I stopped picking up dark. I can do without the visual p*rn thanks.
