June Buddy Read Discussion
Duration: 6/1/13 - 6/30/13





Instructions & 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 and or any books that you're 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 have a buddy, go to the June Final Sign Up and post your book and your buddy

Annette Thompson (annettethompson) Alina, that's great! I'll probably listen to Cutting for Stone on audio too. I see that we both have Crazy Love on our To Read lists. I definately want to read that this summer too. My son read it and loved it so I told him I'd read it too. :)

Hmmm... do you think you'll have time for both? :D

Marty (martymill) | 1299 comments Hmmm... do you think you'll have time for both? :D"

I'll bet I can manage to read both! Shall we say Winter Sea and Grotesque then? Which would you prefer to start with? I'm leaning toward Grotesque, but will start with Winter Sea if that's what you want.


message 26: by Jennifer C. (new)

Jennifer C. | 1722 comments Marty/Denise ~ Start with Grotesque then. I'll read one of my other buddy reads first.
