March 2014 ANNOUNCED: The You and Me Challenge

[Rach , Moderator]

F is for friends, who do stuff together, U is for you and me. N is for - Yeah who cares. Spongebob has taught me that I can remember dumb little songs, but not what I was supposed to do for homework....

We pick, we pick, we pick and choose.
So here is another little poem for you.
To see what my brain is up to.

Wait and see
What it could be
A little monthly challenge for you and me.

Alright! March is around the corner and here is the March challenge! I am opening it early due to the "rules" if you may...


drum roll please






The You and Me challenge. If you looked at my little poem, list was spelled out in italics. I made it vague, I know. March's challenge will be a challenge that you somewhat share with a friend. For this challenge you are going off a friends list, and their list only. You can try to find one that you wanted to read but I highly HIGHLY suggest you sift through their shelves and find a book that you didn't know about, or you might of not read. This gives you the opportunity to read a few books that spark your interest through a friend. You can reach out to whoever it was that you "borrowed" from, or keep it mutually just a picking pot.

You can look through their read, to be read and currently reading shelves. You can use my shelves, and if you do- message me! Maybe if its a mutual read, we can do it together, or if it is a book I have already read- lets discuss it!


There are no strict rules, but here are the minimal rulings:

- Must be from a person from the C&B group.
- Must post who's list you chose from & if it was a tbr, read or currently reading list.
- And of course, must post the book(s)!

Duration: March 1st to April 2nd (just kidding its the 1st- April Fools! )

Enjoy!

This looks like fun! I like to troll lists and pick up some new books to add to my list, and a challenge to ensure I read them? Delightful! :)

[Rach , Moderator]

You can all request me to be friends. All you have to say is that we have this group in common :D

Thank you Sharon ! Will do ~~

and Thanks Fiona !

[Fiona (Titch)]

No problem Julie x

[Kathrina]

You know when you want to join so many challenges but there simply not enough time to read all the books you're planning to?

[Kristie]

Kathrina - All the time!!

[Phrynne]

I have chosen my book from Sharon's list of books she has read. She has actually reminded me of a book I have been meaning to read for a long time The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins.
Thanks Sharon:)

[✿ ♥ Heather ♥ ✿]

Well, thank you to Sharon for the use of your Read list. I sorted by ratings to make sure I got a 5 star.

I'm going to read Still Alice. It has been recommended by my niece, it's even sitting on my bedside table unread, and because Sharon HIGHLY recommends it in her review.

I have a Buddy Read on March 1st so I will read Still Alice after that.

[Rach , Moderator]

Alright Fiona! I stalked your to read and I decided on Clockwork Orange. I've seen the movie about a hundred times before. Never gets old, how ever disturbing that may sound!

I attempted to read it in high school (haha! I know right when I was 15...) and I still have it on the shelf. So I am picking up the one again for the month of March. If I get through it, I will go ahead and pick my next victim, er I mean friend, to stalk and get another good recommendation!

You're welcome Heather. I really enjoyed Still Alice so I think you've made a great choice and I hope you enjoy it :)

[Liz]

I'm new and totally lost, but I am also very interested! How do I begin?

I've decided to return the favour of stalking me lol and I've got a book on my kindle that needs to be read. So I am going to read Snow Flower and the Secret Fan - Lisa See as I've had it on my kindle for sooooo long it needs to be done :D

[✿ ♥ Heather ♥ ✿]

Hi Lizzie just read thru the thread. But basically you look thru a friends Read, To Read or Currently Reading and choose a book. Preferably something you wouldn't normally read.

[Fiona (Titch)]

You have to choose 1 of us on this group Heather and Lizzie xx

There are no strict rules, but here are the minimal rulings:

- Must be from a person from the C&B group.
- Must post who's list you chose from & if it was a tbr, read or currently reading list.
- And of course, must post the book(s)!

[Kathrina]

Kristie wrote: "Kathrina - All the time!!"

Yeah.. I doubt I'll have time for one more book!

OK, I have chosen Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch off of Phrynne's favorites shelf. :) If I have more time, I'll add another.

Hi Lizzie - Feel free to add me as a friend and go through my book lists.

A Tale for the Time Being
