What is Reader Rendezvous?
Reader Rendezvous (RR) is a virtual bookish space for readers all over to connect and share their love of books. RR is hosted on Discord, a social platform that allows for users to participate in as little or as much of the conversation as they wish. Each month a buddy read will have a start date, but no official end date. Readers are able to read as quickly or as slowly as they desire since the book’s chat channels will stay open. Monthly titles will be selected across many genres in the hopes of showcasing diversity in authorship, content and writing style.
What is buddy reading? Buddy reading is the act of reading a book with someone else. It is a very popular way to read on the social media book communities (Bookstagram/BookTok) these days since it allows the readers to experience a book together.
There are many different ways to buddy read, it just depends on the type of readers that are participating. For quick readers, they may choose to read a certain number of pages per day together. For those more indulgent readers who wish to take their time, they may decide to read a certain number of pages per week. Buddy readers will often have a virtual chat where they can voice their thoughts and speculations while reading.

Meet the Host
Hi! I’m Claire @whatcsees (she/her).
I love to read (I mean, that’s kind of obvious, I guess). I am very much in the romance camp – I’m down for them all – but the angstier the better. This year I have somewhat accidentally been expanding my literary horizons. I have been loving audiobooks this year, and enjoying everything from thrillers to historical fiction, to non-fiction, and contemporary fiction. I am consistently failing to read my TBR pile – I am definitely a mood reader, as I find something new that often jumps the queue grabbing my attention.
When I’m not reading, I can be found wandering around with my juvenile husky in the world.
Some of my favourites of 2024 (so far...):
Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid
A Curious Beginning (Veronica Speedwell # 1) by Deanna Raybourn
I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue
Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
Bride by Ali Hazelwood
Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh
