message 51: by Leigh (new)

Leigh (leighsalv) so someone will choose our partners then when we know our partner we will choose 10 books that are on their shelves for our partner to read? :)


message 52: by Sabine (new)

Sabine Sorendo (sabinet) yes, that's pretty much it. + you have to explain why did you chose theese books and you have to think of the right order you want your partner to read them. :)


message 53: by Jalyn (new)

Jalyn (jalynnie) | 3827 comments Yes, that's how it works :)

Carla (carlamelanio) | 5 comments I'm in!!! Do you have a deadline when do we need to finish the 10 books that they picked out?

The challenge starts 3/21 and runs for two weeks.
Your assigned partner will pick out ten from your list for you to read, but not everyone will manage all ten. The goal is just to read as many as you can:)

Jonababez | 2453 comments Hi Carla, you're profile says we have to answer a "How did you know me?" question, but you required only one answer. We couldn't find the correct answer so we couldn't add you.

That is part of the challenge, but if you have a conflict, you could try messaging your partner, and asking her to change your list.

Sabine Sorendo (sabinet) Tatiana, I love the list you have made, it is incredible! Mostly these are the books I wanted to read more than other.

My list for you:
1. Shattered Souls

3. Stormdancer
4. Shadows Cast By Stars
5. Incarceron
6. Breathe
7. Taliesin
8. City of Ashes
9. Until I Die
10. Scorched Skies

And I'm also on holiday, so I have plenty of time!


message 78: by Jon (new)

I have the same problem. Now I just feel obligated to read them. I think I just need to know that someone depends on me ('cause even if we read just because we like to read, the basic idea of this challenge is to read more) and I'm not alone, haha.
I just mostly took books I would like to read (altought I'm not so big fan of this genre as you are) and made them in order I would like to read them (mostly it was from the most interesting to the least interesting one). Well.. Just in case you wondered how I made it.. :)
