Having trouble getting through your to read shelf? Can't decide what to read next? Would you like someone to choose a book for you to read? This is a monthly challenge where participants get paired up randomly and their partner picks a book for them to read. If this sounds like fun to you, welcome to this month's Pick It For Me challenge!

Sign ups end on the 29th. Partners will be assigned shortly thereafter. Book choices for your partners are to be given -on or before the 3rd-. Please check back often during that time to be sure that you don't miss anything! (I have amended the dates due to my own lateness to hopefully give everyone time to sign up)

Guidelines
** Sign up below with your to-read shelf (or the shelf you prefer your picks to come from). Please do this so I will not have to guess which one.
* Please be sure that your profile is set to public, or that you friend your partner so that they can see your shelves.
- IF YOUR PROFILE IS NOT SET TO PUBLIC, PLEASE PROVIDE A LIST FOR YOUR PARTNER TO CHOOSE FROM

If you do not plan to participate or are unsure if you can pick a novel for your partner, PLEASE, PLEASE do not sign up. It is very difficult to re-pair individuals once we are underway.

After your partner selects a book for you, be sure and check back in each week or so to let us know your progress. Tell us if you like the book, love it or think it is just so-so

My to read list has a bunch of books on it that are not published yet, so whoever gets to choose stuff for me, if you can get me a copy in advance, I'm good with that! teehee

When you're on your page copy and paste the page you are on. Go to the bar at the top where it says goodreads.com.... and right click to copy. Then come back to this page and in the comment box right click to paste.
I hope that's what you meant!

message 17: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2195 comments Carrie, I am supposed to choose a book for you, and there are three on your tbr shelf that I want to pick for you. Are you in the mood for anything in particular, or should I just flip a coin in my head?


message 18: by Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors (new)

Donna (dkflynn33) | 7478 comments Mod
Is it a 3 sided coin? Because I would love to see that! LOL


message 19: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2195 comments I am defying the laws of physics tonight, as I am brain tired, and I don't think the laws should apply. So there.

I would take a video of the coin toss, but, alas, my phone isn't charged. Believe me?

Alyssa  Pelletier  (sassybibliophile) Hello everyone, not sure if I’m supposed to update on this thread or different one so if I did this wrong please let me know. The book picked for me was The Last Victim. The story line was good. The writing not so much. All in all I give it a 6/10!
