Hey everyone,

So, I wanted to try something new and was hoping you'd all be interested too.

In this activity, you'd be paried with someone with similar interests to yours and then between the two of you you'd pick a book to read over the month. You could discuss the book as you go in whatever way you want. And we could make topics in the group for others to give their input if you wanted.

That means I need to know who is interested, so leave a message here is you are.
(Name and genres of books you like most)

Thanks!

Melissa W i reckon that might be cool cause with group discusions you get WAY to many different opinions.. in its own right this is good but in others it can just be annoying.

i like thrillers, mysteries, comptempory roms if they are a good plot, medical one etc etc.... most genres bar historic fiction

Renee Flewelling (reneeflewelling) | 10 comments I would be interested....I'm open to any type of book but really enjoy thrillers, mysteries and good family dramas!

Carolyn F. I'm interested. Sci-Fi, PNR, Urban Fiction, contemporary, period piece mysteries. I have Deadlocked by Charlaine Harris on the top of my TBR stack if anyone is interested in reading that.

Kelly (kelly_l) Oh! I was just typing out that I didn't think we picked out our books until we were assigned a partner, but then I see that we're supposed to leave what type of genres we like so, here goes.

I love reading pretty much anything, as long as it's good. :) How's that for flexible? I think I tend to go with PNR reads but lately I've really enjoyed some good historical fiction and even a good old fashioned bodice ripper. My only request would be not to have to read a book that's in the middle of a series and I'm not there yet. (Example to read book 5 in a series where I've only read book 1.)

Clear as mud right?
