August Buddy Read Discussion
Duration: 01 August 2017 - 31 August 2017



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 usually spans a month. If you'd like to start a longer buddy read, you can mention the time frame you have in mind when posting to look for a buddy. If you need more time to finish your book at the end of the month, just drop me a line in the next month's sign ups to keep your thread open.

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

Sarah I guess I'll start- Runell were you still interested in reading The Diabolic by S.J. Kincaid this month?

Sure am!

Do you want to do Half a King (Shattered Sea, #1) by Joe Abercrombie I saw that you commented on it when I marked it as to-read, but I'm not sure if you saw that I was up for buddy reading as you suggested.

Awesome! And yes- I'd love to read Half a King with you! Do you want me to go sign us up- or do you want to see if anyone else wants to jump in on either of these?

(Side note- no I hadn't seen that comment. For some reason GoodReads only selectively notifies me when someone replies/comments. Super annoying!)


message 6: by Runell (new)

Runell I'd go ahead and sign us up and if anyone wants to join us, they totally can.


message 7: by Runell (new)

Runell Would anyone be interested in reading:

Graceling (Graceling Realm, #1) by Kristin Cashore The Painted Man (Demon Cycle, #1) by Peter V. Brett Rebel of the Sands (Rebel of the Sands, #1) by Alwyn Hamilton Dreams of Gods & Monsters (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #3) by Laini Taylor The Winner's Curse (The Winner's Trilogy, #1) by Marie Rutkoski

I love the Passage so much! I've been wanting to re-read it, but I suspect it would take me longer than a month. I will read The Angels' Share (The Bourbon Kings, #2) by J.R. Ward with you!

I think it would take me longer than a month too! I am up for it if you are. We can start Angel's Share and when we finish that we can tackle The Passage and maybe go on to read the whole trilogy? Let me know your thoughts...

Hi, if anyone is interested, I have these books that I have been meaning to read this summer. But I haven't gotten around to them yet.

Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison
