Buddy Read

January Buddy Read Discussion
Duration: 01 January 2014 - 31 January 2014



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.

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 January Sign Up Thread and post your book and your buddy.

Sorry, Marla. I've already read Insurgent and I'm trying not to start any new series until I get some finished.

I compared our TBR shelves and we have a lot of books in common. I'll read whatever you want from that list as long as it isn't a series. Here's the link.

We are both on Book 4 of Outlander. Would you want to read Drums of Autumn (Outlander, #4) by Diana Gabaldon maybe in Jan and Feb?


message 17: by Jennifer C. (new)

Jennifer C. | 1722 comments Sure. Would you be OK with the end of January? Those books are really long and I have a lot set up already for January. If you see anything else you're interested in, let me know. I'm getting ready to start Save Me next and I think it was on your list. Would you want to join me for that one?

I would normally say yes, but I have over 15 challenges that I'm starting on the 1st, so I have to read challenge books.

But end of January is fine with me for Drums of Autumn, and we can read it slowly. It's looong.

Signed us up for both books!
