I've been participating for quite awhile in this challenge and really love it. Here is what I really like about it:

* Each Month is a different theme
* You can choose 1, 2, or 3 books

April and May was the first time that we did it in a 2 month increment. Honestly, I think I like that much better than month to month.

I’ve liked both ways. Month to month gives more of a variety of themes but every two months a longer period to read them incase you can’t fit all the picks in one month

Angie, I don't think I've ever done this challenge with this group, but I've done Pick One for Me in another group and enjoy it. Honestly, I was enticed to join when I saw that you'll be running the challenge. I have no idea who had been running it already so that's not to say ANYTHING bad about the MOD who previously did it. I just happened to see that you'll be doing it and said, OK I gotta try it!

I would like the 2 month challenge, I think, but I'll let those who've already done both speak to that with a little experience in their belt. :)

Thank you, Michelle and Lisa!

Michelle - just to make sure I'm with you; you were saying you think you like the 2 month version better?

Hi Vicki!
Thank you!!

I wanted opinions from both those who have participated and those who might join that haven't before.

Yes. The two month version is so much better.

HI - this is my favorite of all the HOB games. I like having the themes - doesn't matter if it is for one month or two. I wish all the participants would make a shelf just for this game and only list books that are the current months theme. Seeing a TBR shelf of 500 books to pick 1 to 6 is daunting.

I do like the two month version better than the one month. I really screwed it last time but I have high hopes for this next couple months. I also like the themes and love the variety that my partner picked/picks for me. I never thought of it being daunting to pick books from our main TBR but the next time around I can work on making a shelf to make it easier. I love having different opinions on how people's brains work and what makes things easier for people.

Thanks for the inputs, Kathy and Anna!

Thanks to everyone that posted. I really appreciated the comments.
I'm trying to use them as much as possible to set up the challenge and partners.

If you would like to come back after this month's picks with any additional comments, please do so.

I like the two-month version as well!

I've never joined this one, but I am interested in the current theme so I'm thinking of signing up.

The things that enticed me about this:

1. I love that it's two months long. Just feels right.

2. Love that there is a theme involved! I love a theme.

Hi Teresa!
Please join and give it a try!
