Reading a book is fun, but reading a book with someone makes it SO much more fun! So that is why we started a Buddy Reads thread :D

Here is the 2014 Buddy Read discussion page. Leave a post with the genres you like to read or which books you have that you want to read soon, and then those who want to read the same book(s) or who enjoy the same genres can ask to buddy with you.

Here's an example of how to post:

Hi! I enjoy reading lots of different genres, but my favorite is historical fiction. I am planning on reading A Passion Most Pure by Julie Lessman next month, but I am willing to read another book as well.


Once you know who you are buddying with, please leave a comment HERE with the names of the people buddying up (you can buddy up with more than one person) and the book(s) you will be reading.

Note:
Threads from the previous month(s) will remain in this folder until people are through reading their book(s). Once it is obvious that a discussion thread is finished, it will be moved to the archives.

Anyone want to buddy on one of them?

Absolutely! The more the merrier :) I once did a buddy read where there was four people and it was SO much fun!

Do you want me to set up a thread for the three of us?

When I finish my current read I'm going to be starting my Quilt book for book cover bingo, so I probably won't be able to start this one for a couple of weeks or so! But after that I can start anytime, just let me know when you're ready! :D

Aerykah | 1404 comments Injustice For All (Justice Seekers, #1) by Robin Caroll To Write a Wrong (Justice Seekers, #2) by Robin Caroll Strand of Deception (Justice Seekers, #3) by Robin Caroll by Robin Caroll

I've already read these books, but I thought I'd recommend them to you mystery readers. They're all really good & I think they would make great buddy reads! I just thought some of y'all might be interested in reading them together.

I know! I've been looking forward to this book! Do you want to read it in halves?


message 32: by Caitlyn (new)

Caitlyn Santi | 811 comments Halves is perfect! I don't have my copy with me but I can message you the number of chapters that would be half, later on!


message 33: by Caitlyn (new)

Caitlyn Santi | 811 comments So I checked and there are 35 chapters so half would technically be 17 and a half chapters. (Boy it bugs me when that happens!) But to make it less complicated what do you think about chapters 1-18 and then 19-35? :D
