message 1: by Kara, TBR Twins (new)

Kara (karaayako) | 3957 comments Below are your TBR twins! Please message your twin to pick a book to read together this month. Let us know what you've decided on, and come back to tell us what you each thought of the book once you've finished.

Please post in this thread if you do not hear back from your twin, and we will find someone else for you to pair up with.

Kara (karaayako) | 3957 comments How to compare books:

1. Go to your twin's profile and click "compare books"



2. In the top right corner, set the "common shelves" to "to read." If you or your partner keeps the TBR list somewhere other than the "to read" shelf, then you can use the two fields under that to compare books.



This should give you a neat list of everything you have in common.


message 3: by Rebekah (new)

Rebekah Is there a way to compare books on a phone?


message 4: by Nik (new)

Nik (bleepnik) | 852 comments I couldn't find a way to do it in the Goodreads app for iOS, but visiting the site in the mobile web browser worked just fine.

Liv (oliviaem) | 16 comments I messaged my twin on the 2nd and have not heard back from her yet


message 12: by Auntie Terror (new)

Auntie Terror (auntie_terror) | 402 comments I messaged my twin when the list was out, and I've messaged her again right now, as there's been no reply. How long should I wait on for them to get back to me?


message 13: by Alexxy (new)

Alexxy | 270 comments Markus and I will be reading The Secret History


message 14: by D.L. (new)

D.L. | 642 comments My twin also has still not replied. They haven't logged on either (according to their profile) since last month. I am not sure what to do.


message 15: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Kass | 26 comments My twin has not responded :(


message 16: by Claire (new)

That's a great idea!


message 19: by Kara, TBR Twins (new)

Kara (karaayako) | 3957 comments Let's give folks another day or to to respond, and then if you don't hear, please feel free to pair up with someone else who also hasn't heard. Thanks for your understanding!


message 20: by D.L. (new)

message 22: by Dina (new)

Dina Batista I'd sended a message to my twin but haven't heard from her yet.


message 23: by Auntie Terror (new)

Auntie Terror (auntie_terror) | 402 comments Sadly, my twin still hasn't responded, it being six days now. I'm sure there is a good reason for this.

I'd really like to get started now, though, and therefore:
Liv, Claire, Rachel and Dina, I have at least three tbr books in common with each of you. Anyone still without their twin and want to pair up for June?


message 24: by Liv (new)

Liv (oliviaem) | 16 comments I still haven't heard back from my twin. Auntie, I'd like to pair up with you. Are there any books in particular you'd like to read from our common tbr list?


message 25: by Auntie Terror (new)

Auntie Terror (auntie_terror) | 402 comments Great. :) I sent you a message about the book-picking.
Looking forward to reading with you.


message 26: by Dina (new)

Dina Batista I still haven't a twin :-(
Anybody free?


message 27: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Kass | 26 comments I am free!


message 28: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Kass | 26 comments Dina would you like to be twins this month?

message 32: by Claire (new)

Claire  (claire6452) | 684 comments Casey, I still need a twin, and we have a LOT of books in common on our to read lists!

If anyone else still needs a twin, I would be willing to read two, or maybe even do triplets.

I'm about a third of the way through it, and so far I DO love it!


message 47: by Eirelyn (new)

Eirelyn (ladyeirelyn) | 1152 comments My partner really wasn't enjoying The Girl on the Train (not that I can blame her XD), so I finished on my own.

The book was...okay. It took a while to get going, and there wasn't a single character I actually liked. The mystery element was moderately interesting -- enough so that I wanted to find out exactly what happened (I hate leaving questions unanswered). It's not a book I'd re-read & not one I'd recommend either, unless someone were to specifically ask me for a "slow-moving mystery with an entire cast of completely unlikable characters." I gave it 3 stars, & the part of me who prioritizes character relatability above all else in a work of fiction felt like that rating was generous.

The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins


message 48: by Claire (new)

Claire  (claire6452) | 684 comments Casey and I finished What Was Mine, and we both really loved it! We liked the story, (most of) the characters, and the pacing. It's a very realistic story, and the author really nailed the emotions and reactions of the characters.

I would highly recommend it, and I'm sure Casey would, too!

I thought I was the only person in the world who just didn't get the hype over this book! I don't remember how many stars I gave it, but I tend to agree with you that three is generous. I was completely disappointed with it.


message 50: by Dramapuppy (new)

Dramapuppy | 195 comments Amanda and I finished Sleeping Giants and both enjoyed it! The interview format was used very effectively, and we both have a lot of questions we hope will be answered in the sequel.
