What's a TBR Pick-It-For-Me Challenge?

Like the name implies, those who participate in this monthly challenge will have a book selected for them by a partner. Partners will be randomly paired up. You will choose a book for your partner from their to read list (TBR), and they will choose one for you from your TBR list.

Once you have picked the book, come back to this thread and post what book you have chose for your partner. Also send a message to the person with the name of the book you have selected for them. Then when you're done with your book, come back to this thread and post your opinion so we know you have completed the challenge.

For this challenge, you need to either HAVE YOUR PROFILE SET TO PUBLIC (preferable) or make the person you're paired with your friend. I strongly advise keeping your bookshelves updated, otherwise you might end up with a recommendation for something that you've already read.

Sign up period will remain open until March 28 and you'll have until April 1st to select a book for your partner.

***Please note***Everything will be done in this thread so check it often. Also, please be sure you really, really want to participate. Once I pair up people, it makes it difficult to re-pair when someone decides not to participate.

Yes, you can still join. You have the month to read it.
Do you have a specific shelf you want your partner to pick from?

Jennifer (featherlashes) Amber(NatureNerd): I pick for you either Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers or Exclusively Yours (Kowalski Family, #1) by Shannon Stacey

I haven't read either of these titles but Redeeming Love has been recommended to me countless times and I have recently put it on my own TBR list. Regarding Exclusively Yours, I have read the third book in this series and enjoyed it a great deal so hopefully this first book in the series will be just as good! Enjoy whichever one you pick and let me know how you like it!


message 37: by [deleted user] (new)

Tammy, I pick Starling (Starling, #1) by Lesley Livingston or Bitten (Women of the Otherworld, #1) by Kelley Armstrong for you. Hope you like atleast one of these.

Aarati, for you I pick The Lost Prince (The Iron Fey Call of the Forgotten, #1) by Julie Kagawa ...I love this series!


Tammy ~Witching Hour Reads~ (03tammy-lynn) | 1434 comments Preethi, thank you for your picks I'm not sure which one I will choose right now, I'll probably read both of them. :)
For you I have picked The Good, the Bad, and the Undead (The Hollows, #2) by Kim Harrison (because I love Rachel) or The Winter Witch by Paula Brackston enjoy!


Athena Shardbearer Joeera I pick Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #1) by J.R. Ward I love the Brotherhood. Or Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers, #1) by Lisa Kleypas I heard her books are amazing.

I've been waiting for the series to finish before I start it. From all I've heard to this series they are amazing and people can't wait to read the next nook in the series.

Could I get one or two more picks if you don't mind?

Suzy | 83 comments Damn, I'm too late.


message 44: by Aarati (new)

Aarati | 197 comments Sheri, here are your picks:

Tangled (Tangled, #1) by Emma Chase -I've heard this is a great book. I'll be reading it in April too.

Angels' Blood (Guild Hunter, #1) by Nalini Singh and Darkness of Light (Darkness, #1) by Stacey Marie Brown - How haven't you read these? These are two of my favourite series.

You have some of my favourite books on your shelf. It took real effort not to suggest them all to you.


message 45: by [deleted user] (new)

Elizabeth

I picked for you are The Help by Kathryn Stockett and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon


♪♫Gloria♫♪ | 52 comments Jacquelyn, I've picked out North of Beautiful by Justina Chen for you. I loved this book. I actually gave it 5 stars. I hope you enjoy :)

Lol, thanks! I just bought Tangled yesterday so maybe I'll go with that :)

Amber (ambersworld08) Jennifer, For you, I am giving you a choice between Marked (House of Night, #1) by P.C. Cast or also Exclusively Yours (Kowalski Family, #1) by Shannon Stacey .

I have read the House Of Night series and it is one of my favorites so I would hope you would love it as well! I chose Exclusively Yours as well because you said you read the third book of the series but, not this one yet. I don't know about you but, I couldn't go without reading a series from the beginning....especially if I enjoyed a latter book ;)

It was a tough choice since I have wanted to read both very much but, I have chosen to go with Exclusively Yours (Kowalski Family, #1) by Shannon Stacey this time around :) I can't wait for Tuesday to get here!
