Christian Fiction Bloggers discussion

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.

I plan on reading these books next month:



Anyone want to buddy on one of them?

Megan, if my copy of Dancing Master arrives soon, we can buddy on that.

Ooh, I'll be reading Dancing Master too. Is it ok to have three for the buddy read?

Megan, I got A Most Peculiar Circumstance for Christmas! And I would love to buddy read it with you! :D

That'd be great!

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?

YAY! I can start anytime in the new year. I want it to be able to count for the reading challenges I'm doing for 2014. So let me know what works best for you.

I'll go set up our thread :)

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

So I'm planning to read it very soon and I was just wondering if anyone was interested in buddy reading it with me! :D

Caitlyn, I'd love to buddy read that book with you! I have to read it within the next week or so. :)

Thanks for signing us up! I'm really looking forward to buddy reading this book, too! :D

Thanks Caitlyn and Melanie! I'm excited too!

Here are some I plan on reading in the very near future if anyone wants to buddy on them.



Two are review copies, and two are for pleasure.

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.

Shirlee McCoy


I plan to read this book. Does anyone else want to read it too and discuss?

I just got Dating, Dining, and Desperation
.
Anybody want to buddy read it next week?

Haha! I just got my copy today too! :)
I'd love to buddy read it with you, Melanie! :-)

Thanks, Caitlyn! I'm so happy we're going to read this book together! I'll go sign us up. :)

Does anybody want to buddy read When I Fall In Love by Susan May Warren or In Perfect Time by Sarah Sundin? I plan on reading them soon.

Mel, I just finished When I fall in love and am currently reading In Perfect Time. I can buddy with you on either or both.

I'm planning to read soon! Would anyone like to read it with me? :D

Caitlyn, I'd love to read that together! It's been on my TBR for a while. :)

:D Awesome! I confess, I was hoping you would want to Melanie! ;)
It's on my radar screen of books I'm hoping to read during Bout of Books, but I'm totally fine with starting it whenever you want, just let me know! :)
I'll go sign us up!

can I still join and hoe

Caitlyn, reading it during Bout of Books sounds great! I can start it Monday, day one of the read-a-thon. :)

Melanie wrote: "Caitlyn, reading it during Bout of Books sounds great! I can start it Monday, day one of the read-a-thon. :)"

That sounds perfect! Can't wait! :)

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

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!

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

Sounds good!

I just got in in the mail. Anyone want to buddy with me on it?

Here a list of books I hope to get read soon:





Let me know if you'd like to buddy read one, or more :), with me.

I've got Tremors and can buddy with you on it.
