Riya The ever popular You Pick, I Pick Challenge is back for yet another month! Personally this is one of my favorite challenges ever, so I look forward to running it this month :D

The rules are the same as usual, so just post 20 books you want to read. On the first of July, partners will be assigned and they'll choose 10 books for their partner to read that month!

Hope everyone likes it!!

Maybe Laura and Jacque can discuss together what they want to choose as next month's Book of the Month? Technically Laura is the winner (Jessica won The Book Pool, so she doesn't count here. :P Sorry, Jess, lol) but Jacque did really well, too...

message 47: by Riya (new)

Riya Sure- if they can choose a book together that'd be nice!
