PROMPT: Do you enjoy buddy reading or participating in group reads? If you do, what do you like most about them? Do you prefer reading 1-1 or in a big group? For those who might not have access to in-person group reads, do you have a recommendation about where to join online reading groups?

Happy Friday! Another week is coming to an end, and another LTB to partake in!

1. Do you enjoy buddy reading or participating in group reads? If you do, what do you like most about them?

Confession time, I have not read a book with a friend yet. I have read the same book a friend has read, but never simultaneously as a buddy read. Same as a group read. I have now joined a group on Goodreads and will venture into group reading, which I am excited about. It is a bit sad, because it is not inperson, which would have been lovely, alas, I live nowhere near any book club/group, etc. Long story short, to answer the question, I don’t know what I like about them yet, as I will find out at the end of this month haha.

2. Do you prefer reading 1-1 or in a big group?

I would not mind either, to be honest. I have no problem reading 1-1 or in a big group I enjoy the ride 🙂

3. For those who might not have access to in-person group reads, do you have a recommendation about where to join online reading groups?

As mentioned, I am using Goodreads for this year, and there are so many diverse groups on there. Fable is another one that comes to mind a lot of book club options. Personally, I have not participated in any yet, but I definitely will. Last but not least, a new discovery for me, PageBound has something similar to book clubs/groups that they call Quests. This is another fun option, and I have joined 2 quests there. These are the main ones at the top of my head.

I wish there were in-person group reads in my area, but I don’t know about any…

Would you join any book club/group or quests this year? If you have PageBound, feel free to follow me there. Here is my profile. Happy reading 🙂
