Summer Buddy Read (Discussion)

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

Reading a book is fun, but reading a book with someone makes it SO much more fun! So that is why we started a Buddy Reads thread :D

Here is the Summer Buddy Read discussion page (June-August). Leave a post with the genres you like to read or which books you have that you want to read soon, and then those who want to read the same book(s) or who enjoy the same genres can ask to buddy with you.

Here's an example of how to post:

Hi! I enjoy reading lots of different genres, but my favorite is historical fiction. I am planning on reading A Passion Most Pure by Julie Lessman next month, but I am willing to read another book as well.

Once you know who you are buddying with, please leave a comment HERE with the names of the people buddying up (you can buddy up with more than one person) and the book(s) you will be reading.

Note:
Threads from the previous month(s) will remain in this folder until people are through reading their book(s). Once it is obvious that a discussion thread is finished, it will be moved to the archives.

I want to read it for the same reason :) I'd love to buddy with you and will go sign us up!

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

Dawn, when do you want to start?

[Caitlyn]

Melanie, I am going to be reading Lock, Stock and Over a Barrel for the CFBA tour. I would love to buddy read it with you if you're interested! :)

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

Sounds great, Caitlyn! Let me know when you want to start it. :) Want to read it in halves?

[Caitlyn]

Halves sounds great! :)
I haven't received my copy yet, but I will let you know as soon as I get it! :)

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

Okay. :)

[Dawn]

Megan - anytime. I just located it on the kindle and moved it to a folder I've got current reads in.

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

I'm going to try to start it next week (Wed.?), so how would you like to read it - halves?

[Dawn]

halves is fine.

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

Great!

[Abbi]

Here's some of the books I'll be reading soon:

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

Abbi, I have and would love to buddy with you on it.

[Dawn]

Here are a few books that I would like to read this summer.

For Review:

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

Dawn,


I have (print), (ebook) & (ebook) to review too and would love to buddy on any or all of them...just let me know.

[Dawn]

Megan let's buddy on all of them. I've got them in the same formats!

And it doesn't matter to me which one(s) to start.

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

Since we're also doing Wings of Glass, if you want to do two at the same time, maybe we could do one of the ebooks? That way if I get tired of holding a book I can switch to my ereader. :D Otherwise, one at a time is fine with me too. However, if you'd rather start one of the other ones first, instead of Wings of Glass, that's alright by me. I really have no preference which we read first, so just let me know if one is calling to you more than the others. :)

Awesome! I'll go sign us up!

[Dawn]

Sure. We can start both Wings of Glass and one of the e-books. Maybe the Widow of Gettysburg this week?

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

Dawn wrote: "Sure. We can start both Wings of Glass and one of the e-books. Maybe the Widow of Gettysburg this week?"

Sounds good. Halves for both would be:

Wings of Glass: prologue-chapter 21 & chapters 22-42
Widow of Gettysburg: chapters 1-12 & 13-epilogue

Janet that sounds great. Whenever you're ready let me know. I've got a NetGalley copy on my Kindle and can read it whenever.

Hi. I've only just joined this group so please accept my apologies for the lateness of joining this challenge.

I'm looking for someone to buddy read Walls of Byzantium: The Mistra Chronicles by James Heneage in either September or October. Thank you
