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 March, post your shelf and the number of picks you'd like to have below. See you on picking day!

I finally got this book in. Late to the party, but at least I arrived before all the refreshments were gone! LOL
It's time to nominate non-fiction books for our second quarter 2025 NF group read. The nominations thread will be open through the 28th.On March 1st or thereabouts, I'll put up a poll. The winner will be announced on March 16th, which should give everyone who is interested some time to get the book if they wish to read it starting on April 1st.
Looking forward to seeing your ideas!

Hi, everyone!Please nominate a genre for March 2025 in this thread, if you would like to. The only rule for genre nominations is that you cannot nominate a genre that we've already read this calendar year. Below is a list of the genres that have already been chosen this calendar year, which are therefore ineligible.
List of Ineligible Genres
Historical Fiction
Romantic Comedy
Police Procedural Mystery
Not planning to be a huge stickler on the "genre vs subgenre" thing. If it's a recognized book category (i.e. you can reasonably expect the average Goodreads reader to know what it is), post it.
Nominations open until 2/14, poll to follow.
If you want to see examples of genres and subgenres that Goodreads has some lists for, or figure out where a book/style of book you like happens to fit, try this link:

Jackie, I’m picking
because I want to know how it is. :-)
Jackie is getting in too, Lance, so she'll pick for you, and I'll pick for her. Thanks for the excellent picks!
February's genre focus poll resulted in a tie -- so, for February we can read either Romcom (Romantic Comedy) or Police Procedural mysteries. Looking forward to seeing what you read!
Bring Me BackB.A. Paris
Finn and Layla: young and in love, their whole lives ahead of them. Driving back from a holiday in France one night, Finn pulls in to a service station, leaving Layla alone in the car. When he returns, minutes later, Layla has vanished, never to be seen again. That’s the story Finn tells the police. It’s the truth – but not the whole truth.
Twelve years later, Finn has built a new life with Ellen, Layla’s sister, when he receives a phone call. Someone has seen Layla. But is it her – or someone pretending to be her? If it is her, what does she want? And what does she know about the night she disappeared?
I got in touch with Jackie, who has been on a cruise. Lance is going to post a shelf and he and I will pick for each other. If Jackie wants a pick after she gets back, I'm sure one of us can oblige.Denise, please pick five for Joy?
Joy, please pick one for Denise?
I'm glad they worked out so well, Joy!
I'll try the data thing. There's a known bug that they're allegedly working on: in the profile where it allows you to specify notifications on your groups it persists in saying I'm not a member of any.

Finished this book yesterday. It was interesting and I liked that it didn't just focus on one member ..."
I liked that book for the same reason, Vikki.
The cover colors for the February color challenge are pink and spring green. Looking forward to seeing what you pick!
