The Challenge Factory discussion

March Buddy Read Discussion
Duration: 01 March 2017 - 31 March 2017



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 usually spans a month. If you'd like to start a longer buddy read, you can mention the time frame you have in mind when posting to look for a buddy. If you need more time to finish your book at the end of the month, just drop me a line in the next month's sign ups to keep your thread open.

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 March Sign Up Thread and post your book and your buddy.

I'm looking to start the Shades of Magic series this month, if you're interested? :)

Yes! Would love that!

Runell wrote: "Yes! Would love that!"

Wonderful! My books are at Uni, but I'll be going back mid-next week, and I'll probably start reading it then!

I'm looking to read Fire child, anyone interested?

I have The Graveyard Apartment checked out from the library and hope to read in March...but I've never done a buddy read before and don't know how good I'll be at it.

Aw that's ok! We can post as we read. usually what I've done in other buddy reads is after i read a chunk of the book i leave a comment under a spoiler cut saying what pages i'm discussing, and then write my thoughts. and then we comment back and forth about what we've read.

That's a cool way of doing it . I'd like to try.

Great! I'll go to the sign up threads and request a thread for us :) I'll pick up the book on Tuesday or Thursday (those are the only weekdays I can go to the library) and start it after that.

Do you still plan to read A Discovery of Witches this month Runell? I would be interested in reading that with you.

if there is someone with no partener, i`m available :)
