No, I will still do the blind date and pick me a winner partner challenges. I just find I am over committing myself and I feel dropping the copycat challenge will allow me more time for challenges I enjoy more. Plus the participation level in the copycat challenge is high enough that me not participating won't really affect the numbers.
Yeah, that is true. I over-committed in 2014 and I like not to do that again this year, but so far I'm on board to potentially do it again. But I'm going to try not to!
LOL Good luck! Last month I decided to make a few changes that will hopefully help me keep on track. One was dropping the copycat challenge and the other was to not commit to more than 6 BR per month ahead of time. I may join a few extras last minute though depending on how much time I have available.

Will you be doing this Challenge for March?
Kami wrote: "Will you be doing this Challenge for March?"Unfortunately, no. But we will have one in April!
When is the next Pick Me a Winner challenge going to be?
I miss this!! Please bring it back :-)
I think it's a lot to keep up with and summer trips, and I think participation fell, etc. (Don't quote me on that.) I'm sure they'll bring it back at some point.
I'm not sure if this was asked yet, but we choose books that we haven't read but want to right? And is there a certain amount that we put on the shelf?

And is there a certain amount that we put on the shelf?"Yes, add books to your shelves that you haven't read. I'd say a minimum of 15 is good since your partner will have some choice. :)

Got it! Thank you!
I haven't got any picks yet. What do I do?
Drishti wrote: "I haven't got any picks yet. What do I do?"I'll pick for you now :) let me check your shelf !
Can we add ARCs to our shelves?
Nope, they can be any books (but as a small request, if you can keep really really exposing covers out of that list, that would be really appreciated since we have some younger members).
yay! Perfect! I wasn't sure but thought I'd throw it out there (just in case others had the same question) :)
I would like to participate but I'm not clear on what to do....so first I say in the other thread I want to join, and then I post a link to my shelf where exactly? And then what happens?
Hell Kaycee!!You post in the current thread for the month - You just post your shelf there
then, I'll pick partners on the 15th. You just want to try to come back as soon as you can around the 15th to make the picks for your partner.
I hope that helps!
current signs up are here: Feb-March
Are we going to be doing one for Dec-Jan?
Sorry, no! I'm taking a very very small break from it (I was just too busy!)but we will definitely start back up in January!!
I still haven't got any picks for the April-May challenge. I sent a PM to my partner but haven't received any reply. Any chance someone else could pick books for me or should I just skip the challenge?

Are we doing one for May-June? I saw it say May-June on the home page, but it takes you to the April-May one.
I will gone from May 14 - 25. Since I will gone when we are scheduled to start the new one. I have decided to post the sign-up thread before I leave and starting in June we will begin on the 1st of every month.
Can i withdraw from the challenge after signing up? I won't be in the condition to read books in the month of July but I've signed up already. I don't want to cause any trouble to someone else.
Yes you can withdraw.
