April Buddy Read Discussion
Duration: 4/1/13 - 4/30/13

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 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 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 on February 1st!

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. But please leave us updates as to how far along you guys are and how you’re liking the book!

7.You CAN sign up for more than one Buddy Read...in fact it's encouraged! And I'm giving a full month just for reading this time around so it will give you more time for more books!!!

ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK!

Once you have a buddy and a book go to The April Final Sign Up and post your book and buddy!

I've been putting it off and putting it off and I don't know why since I love Marillier's writing. I now have to read it for a challenge which ends May 15 so I have to read it.

I've read the first two books in the Bridei Chronicles The Dark Mirror and Blade of Fortriu which I loved and have tried to get back to read the final book The Well of Shadesbut can't seem to fit it in though it's on tap to read in 2013.

I'm glad to know that Jenne, I'm eager to see how the author is going to create the new world of the series :)


message 19: by Vi (new)

Vi | 624 comments Ooh, I love her writing too! I love the Bridei chronicles. Those are books that I stayed up all night to read. *sigh* this is making me want to re-read them again. I'd offer to read it with you but I'm trying to cut down on re-reading books. Sorry!

message 20: by Barbara ★ (new)

Barbara ★ | 2287 comments No worries. I don't reread at all. There are just too many books to read - why read something you already know the ending to?


message 21: by Audrey (new)

Audrey (mormorau) Barbara, The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1) by Patrick Rothfuss is on my top 5 books of life list. Soooo good. I hope you enjoy it!

I always worry about reading a new author so it's good to know that it's a good one. Thanks.

Vi | 624 comments Leslie, I thought I'd replied it but apparently not. I'd love to read Tiger Paw also. Do you have any date set?
