The Challenge Factory discussion

August Buddy Read Discussion
Duration: 8/1/13 - 8/31/13





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, go to the August sign up and post your book and your buddy

I like thrillers if anyone is interested in buddy-ing? Favourite authors are Harlan Coben, Lee Child.

Although tbh I'll give anything a go

I only read young adult. I like mostly realistic fiction. I have to be able to get it from tuebl.com or I cannot read it.

I am so late for this! I would like to read . Anyone interested to read any of them with me?

Christine ~ I have
, so I'll read that with you. I have all of those books on my TBR pile though. They all sound great. I might even get to read with you to if you want to do both.

Ryan ~ Are you interested in reading
? I've had this for a really long time and just haven't gotten around to it yet. It's supposed to be a thriller.

Hello all. My name is Drew and I have a very large TBR list. Please check out my list and let me know if you wanna buddy up.

Sure, that would be great. I am on a holiday from 1st to 8th of August but afterwards I'm game. When do you want to read Wide Awake? Btw, I've wanted to read Anna dressed in blood like forever, but somehow never got to it until now ... I will def. make room for both somehow :)

Christine ~ That works for me. I'll set us up for both. We'll be optimistic. :)

Yeah I fancy that one as well Jennifer. Do the rules of the group allow us to three-way?

Ryan wrote: "Yeah I fancy that one as well Jennifer. Do the rules of the group allow us to three-way?"

LOL... Yes, they do. I'll add you.
