June Buddy Read Discussion
Duration: 01 June 2016 - 30 June 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 June Sign Up Thread and post your book and your buddy.

Krissy (krissystewart) | 3693 comments I'll also be listening to...

message 30: by Krissy (new)

Krissy (krissystewart) | 3693 comments Annanya, it's really simple. Just go through the thread and check out what everybody has posted. If something strikes your fancy just give a shout out. "Hey so-and-so I'd love to read ____ with you."

You can also just post your own books and see if anybody likes your choices and wants to join.

The final buddy read threads won't be posted until a bit later. Right now we are just finding books and requesting threads for said books.
