July - Pick It For Me! Challenge
Rules
:1. Everything will be done in THIS thread. Please make your recommendations HERE.
2. Make sure to check back BEFORE the 2nd of July and make recommendations for your partner. If i do not hear from you in this thread or through a private message by 11pm, i will assume you will not be participating. Therefore i will re-assign your partner to somebody else.
3. Give 8 book choices to your partner. 4 from their TBR and 4 brand new to them author/book. Of course we are only committed to FINISH 1 recommendation; but this will give your partner different options to choose from depending on their reading mood.
Please set your profiles to PUBLIC until the 2nd of July. Just in case i need to get in contact with any of you, or if i need to look at your profile for the pairing.

I'm in. But as seems to be the case lately, I'll be out of town for the first couple of days. I leave this Friday for Massachusettes(the Berkshires and Boston) and will return on the 4th of July. I'm taking my laptop but am unsure of internet connectivity. I'll hit a Panera/Coffee shop/something, just don't know when or how often yet.

Do not forget to make sure your notifications are set either to instant or digest! Make sure you go to your profile and under "notifications" apply for however soon you want to get your digest. I would set it up for daily or weekly.

Thanks, Rossy! I'll miss you guys, too, especially since I think I probably won't have any internet access. I can feel the withdrawal symptoms coming on already!

I really, really shouldn't do this because I have about a million other challenges going on... but... I can't resist! So, sign me up... sigh...

I'll find a way to get some access. It wouldn't be the first time I ditched the family on vacation for an hour so I could hit a hotspot with the laptop.
Hi! I'm pairing people up for the pick it for me challenge. I've decided to pair people by genre. So, you are going to receive a PM from me with the following 2 questions. You can either respond in this thread or respond to the PM. 1. Which genre or romance sub-genre (UF,HR,etc.) do you read most often or would you consider yourself well-versed in?
2. Which genre or romance sub-genre are you most interested in reading (could be a genre or sub-genre completely new to you that you've wanted to try or one you presently enjoy)?
The final pairing list will contain your name with the genre you'd prefer to read for this challenge. The genre listed next to your partners name is merely a suggestion for their 8 recs, not the rule.
Thanks for your help with this.

It's a group recommend a book thing - works just like a Secret Santa or Xmas Exchange, except that the gift is replaced by a book recommendation. Just like in Secret Santa, the givee-giver pairings are randomly assigned. So whomever you get, you recommend a book for them. Preferably it should be something new and unfamiliar to your givee, NOT a book from their to-read list - the point is to introduce new books and new authors. In return, you'll have a book recommended to you (sometimes you might get a few options to choose from). After you're done reading your Pick-It-For-Me book, a short post with some feedback - a mini-review of sorts would be appreciated.
For this challenge, you need either HAVE YOUR PROFILE SET TO PUBLIC (preferable) or make the person who'd be doing the recommending to you, your friend. On top of that, I strongly advise keeping your bookshelves updated, otherwise you might end up with a recommendation for something that you have already read.
Signing up period will remain open until the 29th. You'll have time until ~the 2nd to make your recommendations. Everything will be done in this thread so check it often. Also, please be sure you really want to participate. Once I pair up people, it makes it difficult to re-pair when someone decides not to participate.
