A "buddy read" is when one or more persons agree to read a book with you, that isn't a scheduled group book of the month (and therefore not run by one of the group moderators - we however may join in with a buddy read)
The rules: You just need one other member to read the book with you. Then it's up to you to decide when and how. There are no restrictions on dates, how long it takes to read, or on how you discuss the book (you can have a set schedule, you can discuss as you read or you can discuss at the end). It's all up to you! The only requirement is to use spoiler tags as needed so that other people don't accidentally read something before they're ready to.
What to do Comment below which book you'd like to read and if someone(s) wants to join you, work out when you'd like to start.
Once agreed, start your own thread to discuss the book. You can do this by doing the following:
- Click on this link: Buddy Reads 2023 - Click on 'new topic' at the top right of the of the list - Fill in the 'topic field' with Book Title and Start Date - Type the book in 'this topic is about field' and select it from the list (This is optional, but helpful) - Keep 'folder field' as Buddy Reads - Fill in the 'comment field' with details about your buddy read - e.g. what the book is, book summary, reading schedule (if any), etc.
