8/3/2021 Do you like to read with others (buddy reads, readalongs, bookclubs, etc)?
I would love to be a part of a bookclub, I have participated in 2 years in one though. We all settle on a team and read different books and discuss. Because we realise how hard it is to get English books. So I shouldn't say I want to be a part of one when I am! It all counts. I guess I want to take part in more ;)
And then Carole and I settle on something every month too, of course we have chosen lots of movies lately ;) But it is fun and I enjoy discussing a book with someone who has just read it too.
What can be bad with clubs and that is that well sometimes you do feel the pressure to finish! That is why the bookclub I am a part of is no pressure at all, if you do not finish, then talk about that which you have read so far.
8/10/2021 Tell us about the best summer job you've had
8/17/2021 Do you ever buy physical copies of your NetGalley/Edelweiss approvals?
8/24/2021 Do you have any pets? Tell us about them (past or present)
8/31/2021 What books are you looking forward to reading in Fall 2021? (September-November)
That's so fun that you do one buddy read a month. I think it's hard to do a read along because of the way I like to read, though, I always claim I would like to be part of a book club.
ReplyDeleteAnd as I said, sometimes we just do movies :D No pressure
DeleteMy reading has to be 0 pressure or I crack lol
ReplyDeleteTalking after I read with a friend works for me.

I totally get that, pressure does not equal fun
DeleteNo, I've never been into that.
ReplyDeleteNot for all
DeleteIt's nice to know when someone else is reading the same book you are, wish I could do more buddy reads.
ReplyDeleteThey are fun :)
DeleteI wouldn't like to do a read along and I don't care about a book club, not so important to me.
ReplyDeleteEach to each one :)
DeleteI guess book clubs are more pressur-y than a simple buddy read. But at least you found a more laid-back one!
ReplyDeleteSo laidback, one guy didn't read a book for monthsm lol
DeleteI love talking about books that I've just read and loved, it's so fun!
ReplyDeleteI had started a book club, but then the pandemic shut everything down and we sort of fizzled when we couldn't get together. I should try get everyone together again...it was fun to see their thoughts on SFF when they'd never read any before ;)
Yeah, we had some zoom meetings, but it was not the same
DeleteI love our discussions!! I find it's perfect to have one or 2 people involved (so a total of 2 or 3). Too many people and too many rules stinks. #dramaalert
ReplyDeleteYes! The drama does grow the more people come in
DeleteI think I'd love a no pressure to finish book club. Fun that you and Carole can discuss movies and books once a month that you are both reading. I do Buddy Reads now and then.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find one day! And I hope mine continues
DeleteI don't belong to a book club, but sometimes my daughter reads the same books and we talk about them. When my husband and I drive back and forth to our daughter's house (4.5 hours each way) we usually listen to an audio so we discuss those books together. That's about it.
ReplyDeleteBut that sounds really fun :D
