Blind Buddies!!
April Sign Up
Is your TBR list getting out of control?
Would you like to tackle at least one book while discussing it with a new Buddy?
Blind Buddies is here for you!
*Every month a sign up thread will be posted
*A numbered list of participants will be created
*Using a random number generator, I will match participants in pairs
*Matched Buddies will contact each other via PM and decide on which book they would like to read
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Go to your buddy's profile and click compare books . It should be right underneath their Personal Info Box.
2. In the top right corner, common shelves select to read from the drop down box.
3. A list of books common to both your TBRs will be generated
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Come back and let moderator know what book you all chose, so that a buddy thread can be created (Book does not have to be AA Historical Fiction or Classic. Any genre will be acceptable)

In light of ALL the reading we do, I thought it would be cool to have a watch party/discussion on some of our favorite shows. Those of us who watch tv when we aren't reading or doing family stuff this will be great. My favorite right now is scandal. So look for the thread in January 2014.

An awesome creative writing exercise where two people pick a roleplay theme (example: slave/master, cop/robber,abusive husband/submissive wife etc) and you start a short story of dialog and narration to completion. Only role is no erotica! This should be fun!
Participation Lotteries!In 2014 we really want everyone to have fun with the Group Reads & Buddy Reads so we will now have participation awards!
