Book Buddies JAN – APR 2026 Round

Looking for a fun way to connect more deeply with other members of the Brenda Novak Book Group? Book Buddies is a four-month program that pairs you with another reader so you can share your love of books, cheer each other on, and maybe even make a new friend for life!

If you sign up, you’ll be matched with another book group member for four months. We do our best to pair readers by state, so there’s a chance to meet in person someday—if you both want to. You and your buddy will add each other as Facebook friends, connect via Messenger, chat about books and our featured reads, share recommendations, remind each other about book group meetings and events, help each other stay accountable to reading goals, etc. It’s casual, friendly, and completely up to you how much you engage.

Registration for the January – April 2026 round is now open:

This is a free program for members of the Brenda Novak Book Group. We do our best to make great matches, but we can’t vet every participant. If you have any issues, concerns, or questions, please email news@brendanovak.com.

Pairings will be announced on January 15th! Watch for a post in the Facebook book group: (fb.com/groups/brendanovaksbookgroup) and an email from news@brendanovak.com (please whitelist this address so it doesn’t land in spam).

I hope you have a wonderful experience with the Brenda Novak Book Buddy Program!
