February Buddy Read Discussion
Duration: 01 February 2019 - 28 February 2019



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

That works for me!

Kaitlynn Skolnick I’ll join a group. Though the books have to be Young Adult because of my parents... other than that, I can join someone who needs a buddy.

Kaitlynn, what about One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus One of Us Is Lying?


message 9: by Kristin (new)

Kristin | 27 comments I’ll be reading Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas. It’s a thick one so that’s probably the only book I’ll get through in February.

Thanks! I may join you for One of Us Is Lying if I can get a copy in time. I’ll just follow the thread and let you know later if I can participate.

Kristin, a few of us tried to read it in December, with only marginal success. I was planning on trying again in February myself. Would you like to be added to our thread OVER HERE, and we can try to read it together?

Anna - I can't even find what Case of Shades is - nothing comes up for me in the Goodreads search....

I am the same. I always see these at the library, but I need motivation to start reading. February is almost over so if you want to still read it this month or march when would you like to read it.

I have not heard of this one, but I would be into doing a buddy read this month or next.

I have Maybe in Another Life on audio and if you haven't already read it I can buddy read this one next month.

We can start them now or in March. I don’t really mind.

Cool. Just let me know when you want to start it.

Cindy III | 390 comments Kaitlynn wrote: "We can start them now or in March. I don’t really mind."

Well, if you don't have other books that you have to finish first let's start it this month.
