I would love to be a part of this challenge. I would love to read any of Sophie Kinsella or Madeleine Wickham's books (these two people are the same person). I've just finished reading her Can You Keep a Secret? book and I would really love to read some more to give me a bit of a laugh.

I'm happy to do the Magician's Nephew. :) I've read it before, but a long time ago and I can't remember much about it, so it'll be good to re read it.
Hey, looking for a buddy. I'm into Fantasy, History, Classics, Science Fiction but I'm open to other genres as well if the book looks interesting.

Instructions and Info
Rules:
Use this thread to find your buddy and determine your book! You can always start by posting books, authors or genres you are interested in! When you decide who you buddy and your book you will head on over to the FINAL SIGN UP thread (see link at bottom) and tell me your book and buddy there (there will be instructions to follow) If you are without a partner by the end of sign up I will match the remaining people up, so no worries...EVERYONE will have a buddy:-)
1.If you want to participate post your name and maybe let people know what genre(s) you are interested in reading.
2.If you already know who you’d like to read with, go to the Final Sign UP thread and post your information for me!
3.Whoever doesn’t have a partner, we will place with another person and you guys can pick a book together! If we have an odd number we can have groups of three, more people to discuss with!
4.I will create Buddy Discussion Threads for each Buddy group and you will be able to start reading and discussing on February 1st!
5.The challenge will span a month.
6.For each group we can set up a thread so the two of you can discuss without having to sift through a bunch of other conversation. But please leave us updates as to how far along you guys are and how you’re liking the book!
7.You CAN sign up for more than one Buddy Read...in fact it's encouraged! And I'm giving a full month just for reading this time around so it will give you more time for more books!!!
ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK!
Once you've found a book & a buddy go to the Final Sign Up and post a link to your book & who you'll be reading it with.
