Book Buddy Sign-Up

Book Buddies JAN – APR 2026 Round

If you sign up for this fun program, you’ll be assigned a book group member to be your book buddy for four months. This is a great way to get to know other members of the group, especially because we try to pair people by state so they have some chance of meeting in person (if they want to). You’ll simply connect through Messenger to share your love of reading, discuss the featured book we’re reading, remind each other of book group meetings/other book group events, keep each other accountable for reading goals, make book recommendations, etc.

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

Please note that we can’t vet everyone who enters the program. This is a free program where we pair up members of the book group. Email news@brendanovak.com if you have any issues/concerns/questions.

The pairings will be announced on January 15th! Watch for that post in the book group (fb.com/groups/brendanovaksbookgroup) and you’ll receive an email from news@brendanovak.com, so make sure you have that email address whitelisted so it doesn’t go into your spam folder or get blocked entirely by your server. I hope you have a wonderful experience with the Brenda Novak Book Buddy Program!

If you plan to read along with us in the group, we recommend getting our 2026 Reading Challenge card and bookmark.
