Buddy Read

July Buddy Read Discussion
Duration: 01 July 2014 - 31 July 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 try to 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 try to 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.

7.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 July Sign Up Thread and post your book and your buddy.

Once you and your buddy have decided to do a buddy read, head over to the July Sign Up Thread and post both of your names and the book you'll be reading. I'll set up a thread for the two of you to discuss your book in. There really aren't any strict rules for it, just see what works for both of you regarding how fast you want to read, what you want to talk about, etc. - just have fun and enjoy your book together! :)

Bick Crave (The Clann, #1) by Melissa Darnell Crave (Fallen Angels, #2) by J.R. Ward
