Buddy Read

July Buddy Read Discussion
Duration: 01 July 2015 - 31 July 2015



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 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.

***PS: I'll be out of the country on holidays and therefore mostly "off duty" Jul 3-20, please PM Ezi during that time for anything BR-related. :)***

Angie, were we going to continue with Born of Ice (The League, #3) by Sherrilyn Kenyon from our thread from this month? I'm definitely still interested in reading the series! Also, I am all for reading the novella as well as the third book!

Hi! My name is Shantal, I never got around to finishing the Vamp city series and your other book looks interesting, I would love to buddy read with you

Sounds great! If you have not read Manwhore (Manwhore, #1) by Katy Evans you would need to. With the way it ended, the first page of Manwhore +1 (Manwhore, #2) by Katy Evans should pick up where it left off.

Definitely continuing this series. The novella comes after the third book from what I understand.

*nods* I believe it does as well, though I think it starts the Gen 2 storyline, which always confuses me. The novella is the furthest I've read in the series, ever, so I'm very much looking forward to August!

That sounds awesome. I'm just starting By a Thread (Elemental Assassin, #6) by Jennifer Estep and it's been too long since I've read some EA. So I'll be ready to go with this one in July.

I just read that one not too long ago! It wasn't bad, but was definitely a transition book.

I'll go to the sign up thread and ask for a thread for us for Widow’s Web.


message 19: by VampAmber (new)

VampAmber | 622 comments I've not done a buddy read before, so I'll need plenty of guidance, but I'm more than willing to learn. I tend to bounce around with books at any given point, but these are a few I would like to finish before the end of July (if moving doesn't destroy any chance of me reading much, that is).

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion Taking the Lead Lessons from a Life in Motion by Derek Hough American Gods (American Gods, #1) by Neil Gaiman Black Rose (In the Garden, #2) by Nora Roberts Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells

If nobody is planning on reading any of those, I might be persuaded into trying out a new horror or fantasy novel, if it's not too very long (much past 300 pages might be a wee bit too long right about now), or too far into a series (I have to read them in order, cuz my biblio-OCD won't let me do otherwise).

I had the same trouble way back when I started also. Nothing to worry about.

July is quickly becoming an insane month of BRs for me, but I will read Beneath the Stain by Amy Lane with you. I swear I need a 12 Step meeting for Buddy Read addiction as I am already overwhelmed with other commitments.

Since I read it on my Kindle, Justice had the perfect voice for me. I enjoyed the book because it was more than I expected. Read that as I only expected cover-to-cover smut. Surprisingly for me there was actually a plot and several WTF moments. It wasn't the best book I ever read, but I was entertained and would read a sequel. But what do I know? I am a charter member of BRers Anonymous! ROTFL
