I will answer on Shells behalf, She's obviously busy!Usually three is the max for a buddy read, so it would probably be better to split into two teams, but what you do is visit each others threads and comment!!
Shell will check in when she has time!
EZ, the reason we only have two (usualy) is because its a buddy read, if we start adding more to the group of two, it starts to become a group read. We decided when we started the buddy reads that two was it, but under d=some circumstances we would go with three. Sorry to pop your bubble there!

Thats what I get from your comment? Is that the worry?
Check out my book lists If theres something there that will suit you, let me know by PM.
@Kathy - which Jennifer? New Buddy Reader Jennifer said she only had Sherrilyn Kenyon books she was using for another buddy read so I offered to do a re-read or just a buddy for those if she wanted to read them :)@Elishia - We could do both ... just let me know when I have 1 other that I am going to read with E so depending on when we start that one i can do the others before or after or one before and one after! lol I am just not good at reading more than 1 at the same time! lol ;) If you want to do both sign us up or sign us up for 1 doesn't matter to me I want to read both of them eventually :) I heard Dublin St. is way good ... hawt!
ok I'll sign us up for both. Same here about Dublin St, I won a copy so its moved up my tbr list.

Not really sure what happens next but when would you like to start this one?
I was wondering if anyone was interested in reading any of these with me:
Barbara ★ wrote: "Not really sure what happens next but when would you like to start this one?"I'm good to go anytime you want. I already have my copy ready...
Anyone interested in reading any of these?
Elishia wrote: "ok I'll sign us up for both. Same here about Dublin St, I won a copy so its moved up my tbr list."YAY! :)
I would love to do a buddy read! Anything on my Read Soon shelf is up, but I am open to lots. I am also willing to do 2-3 books/buddies ッ
Barbara ★ wrote: "Looks like I might have a few partners for Ashley & Rebecca!Shell, how do we proceed?"
I don't know- but when do you want to read it? (or end date?)
Why is Jennifer such a popular name!! LOl.As long as you guys have it sorted! I just thought J was under the impression she couldnt use the same books for different challenges!
Shell will set up your threads soon and have them ready for you to all start reading on the 1st Jan. She will post when they are active.
Well how about you can all call me "Jen"?? Or is there another one of those?
Ok I fixed it NO one is JenJenBoBin (banana fana foe fin) LOL
Well Hi JenJenBoBin!! LOl Well done!

And I will like peeking at the other buddies comments on their thread. I like group reads, I'm kind of a more the merrier kind of girl, so this buddy read will be unusual for me.

Signed
JenJenBoBin or Jennifer M (from my school days there were 4 in my class.. I swear there was a soap with some woman named that on it and all our mothers watched it religiously!)
Okay....here are just a few books that I've wanted to start for awhile....
I was wondering exactly how this works...do we read like a chapter or section then discuss or do we read the whole book then discuss?
BTW...I really appreciate everyone's interest in helping me get started :)
Shell will be organising the threads for you all to comment on. They will be up and running by the 1st Jan.It is entirely up to each group how they read their books. Some choose to do it by chapter, some just read a few and then comment, my buddy and I just read and comment as we go, as we don't always have the same free time to read together, there are no rules, just what suits.
Marla Honey don't sweat it!! If you don't pick up a buddy here after posting your books, Shell will do her best to sort one out for you, She's great!

I've requested it from the library, I'll let you know when it arrives.

I basically read a book a day so I'm pretty flexible. What works for you?

I'm glad that someone has positive things to say about a non-fiction book as they are not my favorite genre. I just needed a book set in Nepal, but it does sound interesting.
