A little confused??

Hi Jessica and welcome to the group!

It can be intimidating at first glance, but I promise, you will find the challenges easy to navigate soon enough :)

Each challenge comes with its own set of rules, but I will go over a few with you and hope I can help out a little.

The Pick it for me will pair you with another person who also signs up. You choose books for them and another person chooses for you. You then need to only read 1 book from the list given to you to complete the challenge. You can sign up for the October PIFM now if you want to try it out. I am running it for October and can guide you through it in that thread. Just post in the thread that you would like to join and your answer to the pizza sorting question. It's just a fun question to help group you for the pairings, which will take place on Sept. 24th.

For the Monthly Challenge, you can sign up in advance or just post any time during the month. You can read any number of books to complete the Monthly, from 1 through 10 books.

The Yearly challenges can be started at any time during the year, and for most of them you can back date what you have read from January to the present.

I hope this helps a bit. If you have specific questions you can post them in the particular thread of the challenges you are interested in.

Have fun!

Hi jessica - the pairings will be posted in the sign-up thread along with picking categories that you can use for your recommendations

HI Jessica, welcome to the group!

As Dee said, everything you will need will be posted in the PIFM thread...and feel free to ask any other questions you may have there, too - everyone is happy to help new members find their way around!
