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 September, partners will be assigned and they'll choose 10 books for their partner to read that month!

Hope everyone likes it!!

sounds like Rainbow did her research! lol


message 50: by Brittany (new)

Brittany (bookburdy) Well I looked it up and apparently she's from there. And north was half black half white when I went there and it wasn't as racist as she portrays so far but she's pretty spot on otherwise :)
