how do you guys navigate a buddy read?

my best friend and i are always attempting a buddy read, but it's really difficult for us with our busy schedules. i'm sure lots of you do long distance buddy reads, and i wanted some input for when it's hard to read together in person!

do you plan the amount you'll read before you discuss (ex. pages or chapters)? have certain questions you ask each other, or maybe just yap about your thoughts and feelings once you get there? i want all the deets!

The worldbuilding and terminology are making my head SPIN. Please tell me this gets easier to understand 😵‍💫

Update: I had to borrow it from the library again. I could not finish it. It was an 100% hate reading until the end. Idek what happened. It's all such a blur. Goodbye Paedyn and Kai. Guys what literally happened??!!! I will not be reading the 3rd book. My journey ends here. Good luck to those who are continuing on this journey.

hi all!!

i’m stuck in the middle of a bookish decision and i need something advice!! i’ve been looking at the new paperwhites - i currently have a kindle oasis that i got in 2018.

while i love my oasis, i’ve noticed its slowing down, and the battery life has gone down a LOT (a full charge gets maybe two or three days) which as a slow reader is frustrating. i also carry my kindle in my purse and i think something a little more compact could be useful.

anyway- i’m torn between if i should upgrade or just stick with what i have rn! any advice is appreciated!

Hi all! I'm new here and SO PLEASED I found this site. I've been dreaming of a book place like this.

I'm old enough to have been an avid reader for literal decades. Now I just wish to make sure there are others here too (age does not matter when it comes to reading, just curious).

Were you listening to Nirvana and reading The Secret History when it first came out?

Nice to meet you all!
