October Pick-It-For-Me Challenge

[Leigh, Book Diva]

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 September 28 and you'll have until October 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.

Happy Reading to all.

Finished my challenge.. It's wonderful book. The Book Thief
took a little time to read comparatively. Thanks Leigh for the pick, I wouldn't have read it this soon if not for your challenge. :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[H.M.]

I have just finished my challenge, Mending Horses by M. P. Barker. It was a "so-so" book - nothing too exciting, nothing too emotional, nothing too unusual - yet, I did want to finish it and I did do that. Thanks for the pick, Jane and I am going to try to read the second one as well before the end of the month.

[Leigh, Book Diva]

I have started the thread for November challenge if anyone is interested in signing up.

I just finished American Blood by Ben Sanders. It is a very bloody crime thriller that is written with lots of twists and turns and really very good.
