What is the 'To-Be-Read' Challenge? .. aka (TBR)

This is SUPER FUN!

This is a monthly challenge where you will be paired up with a random partner. You and your parnter will each pick one book from your partner's (TBR) list of books. Or if you have another pre-selected list you would rather use, let your partner know.

After you have selected a book for your partner, come back to this thread and post what book you have chosen for your partner from their TBR list. As a courtesy, you may also want to send a message to your partner with the name of the book you have selected for them.

Start reading the book your partner selected for you!

Once you're done with your book, come back to this thread and post your opinion/review for everybody to see.

Easy and Fun!

Sign up period will remain open until January 29th and you will have until February 2nd to select a book for your partner.

***Please note***
• Say "Yippi" or "I'm in" if you would like to participate in this challenge.
• Everything for the monthly TBR challenge will be done in this thread, so check it often.
• Please be sure you absolutely want to participate, your partner is depending on you to pick their next book!

Brad, Don't put your taste in novels on me! I picked from YOUR list. You didn't leave me much choice with novels in your "to-read" folder. Is was either the book I chose or something like Nosepicking for Pleasure: A Handy Guide, or My Grand-dog was a Yoga Instructor: Children Book (again, these are books on your list to chose from)


message 5: by Brad (new)

Brad | 9 comments The first one looked funny, and the second one was actually written by my cousin. Also, there were several other books on that list, including two books on economics. You could have chose any of those. I also blame you for getting me into that type of book.

I finished Beat the Reaper .. great book! Thanks for picking it Alison :)

Robyn | 7 comments So I just finished Island of Sequined Love Nun.... it was as whacky as I expected! And guys, if you decide to read the book, be forewarned: the hero of the piece has an event in Chapter 2 that will make you cringe.... I like Moore's sense of humor, and his ability to take random facts and create an entertaining story. Don't skip the afterword ... it explains how he came up with the kooky plot. 3 Stars
