Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Duration: October 15th to November 15th
Sign up will be open until: Oct 15th
Partners will be picked on: Oct 15th



Guidelines for this challenge
1. Sign up ahead of time so we can create pairs
2. Create a "shelf" for your partner to choose from before the challenge begins
3. You choose 3 books from your partner's shelf for your partner to read. Let your partner know why you pick those books for him/her.
4. Your partner picks three books from your shelf for you to read. You don't have to read all 3, one should be enough for you to complete this challenge.
5. After you read your book come back and post to let your partner know when you are done and what you thought of the book (no pressure, it can be just one sentence)

If you have questions, please post them HERE

Please sign up below and post a link to your shelf for your partner to choose from!

Since partners are being picked today, I am just going to use your to-read shelf for now. Contact me when you see this letting me know if that is okay.


message 41: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Does anyone want 2 partners?


message 42: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I can do two.


message 43: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) I could also do two.


message 44: by ★ℕłℂØℓҾ★ (Nix), snowflakes and eyelashes (new)

★ℕłℂØℓҾ★ (Nix) (ladyknightnix) | 4549 comments I would be able to do two as well :) So, if you want, the three of us could be partners! lol


message 45: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Thanks for all of your help guys! I just made two partners for Mandiann since she replied first. BUT THANK YOU!!!


message 46: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Partners have been assigned in message 3.

Good Luck and Happy Reading!


message 47: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) Hey Michelle!

Here are your 3 picks!

1) Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #1) by Laini Taylor This book was so beautiful to me and I loved every minute of it, even when I wanted to throw it. The world building, the characters, everything. I waited over a year to read the 2nd one because I was so afraid that it would be far inferior to this one, that's how much I adored it.

2) Unwind (Unwind, #1) by Neal Shusterman It's fall. This is a good book for fall. It's unsettling but really good in my opinion.

3) Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell This was a 5 star for me and I believe in giving you the standalone choice rather than getting sucked in to some new series books!

Love to hear what you think about what you read!


message 48: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Hello Nicole,

Great list of books to choose from!

1. Bitterblue (Graceling Realm, #3) by Kristin Cashore because it allows you to finish a series

2. Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson because it is a fabulous retelling and how can you resist a beautiful cover like this one?

3. This Song Will Save Your Life by Leila Sales because I really enjoyed this contemporary.

Enjoy!

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Hello Leah,

I haven't read any of your books so I tried to give you a variety.

1. The Serpent's Shadow (Kane Chronicles, #3) by Rick Riordan because it allows you to finish a series.

2. A French Girl in New York (The French Girl #1) by Anna Adams because it sounds cute and funny and I want to know if I should add it to my TBR list. Also, pink covers can be hard to find for colourful cover challenges.

3. Fields of Elysium (Fields of Elysium, #1) by A.B. Whelan because the cover is pretty.

Enjoy!


message 50: by Clara (new)

Clara (biingo) | 77 comments My partner is Haley! :D
Hi, Haley! *waves* Here's what I chose for you:

1. The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin Which I have read and absolutely loved;

2. Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon Which I am currently reading (actually listening to the audio) and really enjoying;

3. Ready Player One by Ernest Cline Which I haven't read yet -- but I've only heard good things about it and I'd like to know what you think of it!

I really hope you'll like them :)
