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 May 28 and you'll have until June 1 when someone decides not to participate.

Cortney Ralitsa,

For you I pick:
Wither (The Chemical Garden, #1) by Lauren DeStefano bc I have been dying to read this, I have it at home on my June TBR pile
Die for Me (Revenants, #1) by Amy Plum Just bc it has a cool cover
Fallen (Fallen, #1) by Lauren Kate I read this a few years ago, I'm not sure I would like it now, but I most certainly liked it back then!

Cortney OK Alyssa!!!!! You have a lot of GOOD BOOKS! PLEASE DO NOT feel obligated to read all of these, but these are my suggestions!

Rosemary and Rue (October Daye, #1) by Seanan McGuire I heard the Toby Daye series is really good!
Dragonflight (Dragonriders of Pern, #1) by Anne McCaffrey There was a TON of world building, but if you love Dragons you will LOVE this one!
The Immortal Rules (Blood of Eden, #1) by Julie Kagawa I am reading this for a Pen Pal Read right now, I like it so far!
Let's Pretend This Never Happened A Mostly True Memoir by Jenny Lawson If you want a good laugh and are ok with some fowl language this will be a good one!

It is almost like a book buddy. (actually you could run a book buddy similarly) Pen Pals try to read together and write back and forth once you reach a certain point. My Pen Pal and I divided it out by 50-ish pages (i.e. we finish the chapter) a night and then we can chat and then read on.

Everyone reads at different paces, so we try to stay together while we read.

Well, I didn't get through all of them, but I DID read The Immortal Rules. Thanks for prodding me into it. I was really worried it would be same-old, same-old, but I enjoyed it!
I also started two of the others, but I didn't get very far. Yet. :)
