Martha, it's going to be
-- it had a lot of competition on your shelf but this series is too good not to keep reading. :)
I've never been inclined to read that, Denise, but you have made me give it some more thought.
Lance, I'm picking
for you.My next three:
The real horror being that you ended up with a book that didn’t keep your interest lol.

Sorry for the delay Jennifer, getting over a cold. Not familiar with anything on your shelf but picked a few for Halloween month, one set in New Orlean..."
Beth, I'm reading
right now and I can tell I'm going to like it! I'm also partly through the short:
and will likely finish it tonight so I can start
. The premise is interesting!
Yay, I like it too.
Hi, everyone! November’s colors are teal or gold. Looking forward to seeing your covers!
Hi, everyone!For anyone unfamiliar, this is a monthly challenge where you post a link to a shelf you created. It can be named "PIFM" or "Pick It For Me" etc, if you want one dedicated only to this challenge, or you can use an existing shelf you already have, as long as it has 100 or fewer books on it. The link must be to the specific shelf, or you will not be partnered.. Indicate how many books you would like to have picked for you from that shelf for the month in question. There is no lower limit as to how many books you can have on your shelf, but, of course, they should be books you are interested in reading during the next month and have ready access to.
On or about the 25th of each month, I will post who picks for whom. In order to accommodate an uneven number of participants, pairs will not be reciprocal -- in other words, it won't be Joanne picking for Jennifer and Jennifer picking for Joanne. It may be Joanne picks for Jennifer, Jennifer picks for Herman, and Herman picks for Suzanne, and someone else entirely picks for Joanne.
IF anyone has not been "picked for" by the 30th, I will pick for them if the designated picker can't be contacted by PM.
When you are assigned someone to pick for, note the number of books in parentheses after that person's name in the pick list, go to the link for their shelf, and pick that number of books for them. Post the books in a new message here. That person has the entire following month to read his/her picks. Someone will be picking for you the same way. We all like to see what people think about their picks, so we hope you will keep us posted in this thread!
Example: "In for five, please!
PIFM"
The HTML template for linking your shelf can be found here and if you have trouble, PM me and I will help you.
Your designated shelf must be set so that others can see it. To set up a PIFM shelf for those who would like to, go to the "MY BOOKS" link in the GOODREADS toolbar, scroll down below your shelves on the left until you see the "add shelf" button, and click that. Name it PIFM or Pick It For Me. Add books to it, and post the link to it in this challenge as described above. Again, if you need help, please don't hesitate to PM me!
If you are in for November, post your shelf and the number of picks you'd like to have below. See you on picking day!
November pairs:
Jennifer picks 1 for Martha
Denise picks 3 for Joy
Martha picks 2 for Beth
Joy picks 1 for Jackie
Jackie picks 3 for Lance
Beth picks 5 for Jennifer
Desley picks 2 for Denise
Lance picks 4 for Desley
I love bonus books. :)

Thank you Kristine! And I’m pulling for your mom.
Well, this is intended to be more like a "relay race" than a set monthly event: anyone can participate whenever they want, as many times as they want. But I do see your point. It's hard to have an independent interactive challenge (i.e. not a team challenge but one where people interact with each other) that doesn't involve picking something for someone else, so those kinds of challenges do tend to be similar in those ways. :)
My three, to get us started:
Hi, everyone!I've been trying to think of a replacement for the non-series challenge I had started here that just didn't get any traction. Let's try this instead.
How it works: I post three books. The catch is, they have to be NON-SERIES books -- fiction or nonfiction, both are fine, but it cannot be part of a series.
The next person picks one of my three for me to read, and posts three of his or her own, and so on. You do not have to have finished your last book in order to re-pick and re-post, but we encourage you to let us know what you've finished and how you like it!
Yeah, but with only three of us participating... I'm thinking of another though.
Wow, swift work, Joy!
