Shut Up & Read discussion

Sorry I'm a little late getting this one up everyone. Please feel free to overlap into August a little bit with impunity.

For this one, you'll be using your Goodreads friends function. If you don't have enough Goodreads friends, you can either use "RL" friends or make some!

Go to your friends list (upper right hand corner, the arrow next to your icon), and look through books your friends have read.

A) You will read one book for each friend you select - something your friend has already read and rated and you have not.

B) Now read one book for each friend you have selected that he or she has marked as 'to-read' in some way, but has not yet read.

Awesome! Now you have the makings of great book discussion.

For more fun, start a buddy read with other Shut Up and Read members, especially for B.

Easy: Pick two friends.
Medium: Pick three friends.
Hard: Pick four friends.

Bonus: Find a friend that you have high compatibility with (80% or higher, or the highest you have with anyone) and look at that person's bookshelves. On the left, under the list of shelf-names, you can view that person's 'most read' authors' - try out a book from one you've never read before - chances are you'll like it!
