April Buddy Read Discussion
Duration: 01 April 2014 - 30 April 2014


reading photo: reading.jpg


Instructions & Info:
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:-)

Rules:


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 April 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 April Final Sign Up Thread and post your book and your buddy.

Hey, if you can't find anyone to read "One Hundred Years of Solitude" with you, message me. I have it, and I've been meaning to read it, and the author is one of my absolute favorites, but I've heard it's kinda hard to get through so I'll need to be super patient with it. So if you can find somebody more confident or a quicker reader, go for it, lol

I just remembered I have Rebuilding Year on loan, so I've got to read it between April 1-14th.

You could still make comments on the Rebuilding Year thread it you want. We are usually pretty casual. Sometimes not all of us can get to it at the same time. We just use spoilers for comments as we discuss stuff in the thread. Just a thought if you want - otherwise you can make comments as we read it -if it is after you....

@Lisa,
I agree with Melissa, you should just comment as you go because I think Zuzana is ready to read it as well. I will join in as soon as I can. But you should join us.
