Buddy Read

May Buddy Read Discussion
Duration: 01 May 2016 - 31 May 2016



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 your buddy will be and what book(s) you're going to read 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).


1. If you want to participate post your name and 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. Groups of 3 or more are also fine, the more the merrier.

4.I will create Buddy Discussion Threads for each Buddy group and you will be able to start reading and discussing.

5. There are no rules on what, how much or how often to discuss or how best to pace your reading - whatever works best for each individual group.

5.The challenge will span a month.

6.You CAN sign up for more than one Buddy Read...in fact it's encouraged!

ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK!

Once you have a buddy, go to the May Sign Up Thread and post your book and your buddy.

I really enjoyed the Women of Justice Series by Lynette Eason, Ezi, and while I'm a couple of series behind this new one, I'm dying to read it! I'll join you for Always Watching (Elite Guardians, #1) by Lynette Eason . I have a post up in final sign ups already, if you'd like me to add this one to it?

Krissy (krissystewart) | 3693 comments Avi wrote: "Hi anyone in for any Sidney Sheldon book?"

The only Sheldon book I have is Sidney Sheldon's The Tides of Memory by Sidney Sheldon


message 31: by Leo(nie) (new)

Leo(nie) (lemongreen_bird) | 315 comments @Karishma: Ok, then I would say we read The Penelopiad and Lord of Light together in May :)


message 32: by Elena (new)

Elena | 1400 comments Avi wrote: "Hi anyone in for any Sidney Sheldon book?"
Avi - I have read all of his books, the only ones I haven't are a few of the ones by the copycat Tilly Bagshaw... I have Sidney Sheldon's The Tides of Memory on my ipod right now! So if you want to read that one - I'm in! I will want to read some other ones by Tilly Bagshaw in the future (the Tracy Whitney continuation stories, etc...), just don't have time to get them for May ...


message 33: by Elena (last edited Apr 27, 2016 12:43PM) (new)

Elena | 1400 comments They are good, but they are nowhere near Sheldon's ... I loved his books and also read them all a long time ago ... Hers are a bit more modern (which is fine, since times have changed) - but the plot/mystery/suspense/etc... are just nowhere nearly as good as Sheldon's were. If Sheldon's name wasn't used, I would be waaaay less critical... This way - I am always comparing her to him, since she chooses to use his name...

I'm a developing fan of Sidney Sheldon so I've only read a book or two by him. I'll be more than happy to read Sidney Sheldon's The Tides of Memory with you!


message 36: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (laurenjberman) I've read all of Sheldon's books but never heard of Tilly Bagshaw continuing the Tracey Whitney books. I will check her out.

Runell Hey, Krissy, I just saw that the sequel for In the Middle of Somewhere (Middle of Somewhere, #1) by Roan Parrish is out and that it has been suggested that you should re-read the book before moving on to the second one, so I'd love to read it with you. I LOVED this book, and I'll be looking forward to getting back to my main man, Rex.
