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 November 28 and you'll have until December 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.

Damian (dams32) | 2 comments I want it. But I do have a slight complication. You see, my schedule's kinda tight. What I'm trying to say is that I can only go online during weekends. What do you guys think? Could I participate? I kinda am looking for this kind of stuff.

You are welcome to participate. The only requirement is once pairs are to pick for your partner by December 1st. Do you think that is something you can do on your tight schedule?

message 25: by Elle (new)

Elle (elleay) | 164 comments Drishti, for you I pick Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children, #1) by Ransom Riggs , Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon or Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles, #1) by Marissa Meyer .

You have such a fun TBR list! I'll be interested to see which one of the three choices you pick.


message 26: by Elle (new)

Elle (elleay) | 164 comments Great picks for me Drshti! I'm going to choose These Broken Stars (Starbound, #1) by Amie Kaufman .


message 27: by Drishti (last edited Nov 28, 2015 11:55PM) (new)

Drishti (drishti_ohri) | 30 comments Thanks for the picks, Elle. I think I'm gonna go with Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon . The choice was difficult. But, I already have a lot of series going on. So, I thought it was wise not to start another.

P.S. A fun TBR list can be troublesome, too, if it keeps on growing continously. ;-)


message 28: by Elle (new)

Elle (elleay) | 164 comments Wise decision to go with a stand-alone/ non-series book.

I can understand the ever growing TBR list issue. Mine has the same problem.


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin Renie the three I pick for you are The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black Twenty Wishes (Blossom Street, #5) by Debbie Macomber Torment (Fallen, #2) by Lauren Kate

Good luck with the one you choose :-).

I didn't get a chance to read my pick this month but plan on reading it next month.


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin We can only do so much hon. I almost didn't finish all of my challenges. I'm not doing a pifm in January accept in the one group I'm a new mod for, I'm going to try to take a break and get some of my tbr down with what I want to read before jumping back into all of the group stuff. I have a grueling yearly challenge I gave myself for 2016. I don't know what I was thinking! Uggg, we can only do our best right?

Thank you for sharing this. I'm in the same boat - I only finished part of my pick this month. December just got plain busy! I do plan on finishing the book in January and will report back here when it is done.
