The Challenge Factory discussion

February Buddy Read Discussion
Duration: 01 February 2016 - 29 February 2016



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 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. Groups of 3 or more are also fine, the more the merrier.

4.I will create Buddy Discussion Threads for each Buddy group and you will be able to start reading and discussing.

5. There are no rules on what, how much or how often to discuss or how best to pace your reading - whatever works best for each individual group.

5.The challenge will span a month.

6.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 February Sign Up Thread and post your book and your buddy.

Hi
I'm Gaelle. I'd love participate! I love romance, urban fantasy, fantasy books. I like thriller.
I hope to find at least a buddy read! ;-)

Hey everyone, I'm Kelby. I read mystery/thriller, fantasy, romance and women's fiction. I am looking to read or if you would like to read them with me. I am also open to reading other books as well.

My tentative plans for February:

Hello everyone. My name is Abigail. I like to read YA books, thrillers/mysteries and biography/autobiography. I'm also open to try other genres and I'm open to read any book.

Is anyone interested?

Sandy, I'm down for

Great! I'll request the thread.

Hey Gaelle! I'm totally new to this buddy system. It looks like we like the same types of books, so we should be able to pick something that we both like. I just went through my bookshelf and donated a bunch of books, so I'm trying really hard to read the books I haven't read yet that I've kept. Here are some of the books I have my eye on. If you don't see any you like, I'm definitely open to other books :)


any of the Harry Potter books (I'm wanting to re-read them again after Alan Rickman passed)

Hello! I'm Gicela and I would love to participate in this Buddy Read Challenge. Some of the books on my "to read" list are: , , , ; ,
I also enjoy Christian Romance by authors, MaryLu Tyndall and Julie Lessman.

Samantha, I can read with you. It's been on my Kindle way too long.

Which Julie Lessman books have you not read? I would be down to be your buddy this month.

Some books on my TBR for Feb:



Also @Samantha I'm trying to re-read all the Harry Potters this year too (it's been so long), so I'd be happy to do that with you!

Hey Samantha, if you're okay, I'm up for Outlander and Shadow of Night but for this one I need to reread the first book (that was a long time ago I read it!)

I'd be up for Sabriel, Samantha.

Lulu wrote: "I'd be up for Sabriel, Samantha."

Sounds great!!!! I read this series when I was in middle school, loved it, then read it again a few years back and found I'm still in love with it. I'm looking forward to reading it with you :)

Hey Sandy,
Awesome! Sounds like a plan :) I've already read The Redbreast and Nemesis, absolutely loving Nesbo's writing! When I found out his actual first book came out, I've been dying to read it, but keep putting it on the back burner.

Hey Gaelle,
Let's do Outlander together. I'm not quite sure if I can do both books in the same month. That way, it can give you some time to read the first one and we can try for Shadow of Night for March :) Plus, I'm borrowing Outlander from my mom and I'd like to get that back to her soon :)

Krissy: is a go. I just got on audio if you can catch up to read it

Lulu, Gaelle, and Sandy, I'll go ahead and post our buddy reads in the final sign up so we don't have duplicate posts :) I'm looking forward to reading these books with you!

I can read the Harry Potter books a hundred times and never get bored of them. You want to try and tackle the Sorcerer's Stone for this month?

Samantha wrote: "Lulu wrote: "I'd be up for Sabriel, Samantha."

I started it when I was younger, because my two friends loved it, but I didn't get very far. I'd like to make a more solid go at it, for sure.

Krissy, I would love to read if you are still free.

hi, I like chick lit and thrillers

Overall, I'm a pretty big Garth Nix fan. I like how his story concepts are quite different from anything else I've read. As long as you're into fantasy and have an open mind, I think you'll like it by the end.

Ezi, not sure about . Let me get back to you after I read the first book. Not sure if I'll like it. I normally don't like MC books. Like, at all. But I have to read Nine Minutes for another challenge which is why I'm forced to read it. But who knows... I might like it. Stranger things have been known to happen!



Storm, yay! I'll sign us up!

Hi I like NA Romance, regular romance , urban fantasy, high fantasy, Paranormal , some ya. Here are some books on my tbr that cover most of those genres

I want to to a whole TMI series reread.
I would love to have a buddy and would be up for other suggestions.

I'm into fantasy, plus it's so well regarded! I didn't put it down because I didn't like it - at least, I don't think so? - but just because I was always jumping about books when I was younger, and it meant I never got back to some of them.

Krissy wrote: "Ezi, not sure about . Let me get back to you after I read the first book. Not sure if I'll like it. I normally don't like MC books. Like, at all. But I have to read ..."

Lol. I don't like MC books either and I'm not even sure I liked but I have questions that need resolutions before I can move on. So, I will read book 2.

I also read , an MC book, I liked it though

That describes me perfectly as well lol. Hopefully we can keep each other on track this time! :)

Samantha, I'm game for

Ugh. I hate unresolved questions. So it looks like I'll more than likely be reading book 2 as well :/

Thanks!

@Samantha - that sounds great! Let's try tackling Sorcerer's Stone in February.

Also, may I join you and Gaelle in your Outlander buddy read? It's such a large book, I will need that motivation, and I don't want to start the show until I've read the first book!

It's one of those tangled web stories. I really thought a lot about that book after I read it.
