2016 June Pick-It-For-Me-Challenge

It is absolutely fine to go with the correct book in the series for you when a different book is picked. It isn't always easy to tell with some shelves.
Also for picking, you can use any unread book from any shelf for a category and sometimes you have to to make it fit the rules, but a minimum of one of the picks needs to be from the preferred shelf. Most of us try to do all of the not new picks from there, but it doesn't always work out with the rules - or you see a book you really want to recommend from another shelf.
Hope that helps! =)

I tried my best to give you books from your PIFM list.
Here are your books :)

Hi MountainKat,
yes, it does. Thank you for helping! =)
Enjoying the group and the people here, even when sometimes still very confused (#103).

Hope you enjoy - I had fun scrolling your shelves and found some TBRs for myself;).
Let me know, if I should change some of the picks. ..."
Haha Love your reactions!! I would love a re-pick if you want or even just repost the changes so I don't get confused. You can choose from my e-book shelf or my stand alone, or first in series shelves. I am still working on making better shelves for when people pick for me. There are still so many to choose from and only one required to read so it is up to you if you want to spend the time. Either way I thank you for your effort!!

Thanks! I was mostly just posting the alternative ones so when I make my tracking post people will see where the changes were made. I am good with reading those or other ones she might have in mind that fit the challenges.

Here are your picks for June ( I love your shelves!)
Global Running Day (athletic connection)
Both from your TBR


Thanks for the picks! I think I'm going to begin with




Here's what I picked for you this month. I tried to give you one book off your [TBR] and one [NEW] book for each category, but it was VERY difficult with almost 4400 books on your TBR to find new things. I eventually gave up, but I was at least able to give you a few new things to add to that mammoth TBR you have. LOL
June 1st is Global Running Day.
[TBR] Gentleman's Game -- he plays rugby. sounds cute.
[NEW] The Year We Fell Down -- this was such a surprise for me. I didn't expect to enjoy it nearly as much as I did.
June 2nd is Yell Fudge at Cobras in North America Day.
[TBR] The Perfect Play --this has one of the yummiest covers in all of romance in my opinion. LOL
[NEW] Imprinted -- ok, so this one is super hot, very steamy and yes very yummy. Fair warning, there is some m/m interaction in this menage, but it is sizzlin'
June 8th is Upsy Daisy Day.
[TBR] How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf -- I've had this on my TBR for a while too. I hear it's very funny
[NEW] Exclusively Yours -- very cute and funny family series...of doom (you'll get it if you read it).
June 12th is Superman Day.
[TBR] Me Before You -- I haven't read this but it's gotten a lot of good Buzz
[TBR] Reaper's Property -- very good read. In my review I call it "deliciously smutty". LOL
June 17th is Flip Flop Day.
[TBR] Along for the Ride -- Sarah Dessen is a perfect beach read author and this one takes place at the beach. I really enjoyed it.
[NEW] What the Lady Wants -- this is a funny, quirky chick lit book with a mystery. a fun read. perfect for the beach.
June 24th is International Fairy Day.
[TBR] On the Edge -- The Andrews duo is one of my favorite. I loved this gritty and dark PNR
[NEW] Blood Kiss -- I truly enjoyed this spinoff of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the next generation.
June 28th is International Body Piercing Day.
[TBR] Down and Out -- he's got some nice ink on the cover
[TBR] Simple Need -- Vinter is just yum. Tats, piercings, and he's not too bad with the dirty talk.
June is World Naked Bike Ride Month.
[TBR] Mr. Maybe -- well, he's just about naked. LOL
[NEW] Guilty Pleasures -- she's naked for most of the book. Very taboo with non-con/dub-con, slavery, BDSM. But it's well written and the author really screws with your mind on this one.
Ok, so there you go. I hope you find one or more of these that you want to get to next month. Enjoy!

Here are your picks, a lot of which I got from your list. In case there is one that isn't the next one in a series you are reading. please go ahead and read whichever one is next. Al..."

Thanks Sassafrass and yes my TBR a growing disaster, LOL. Sorry you had the painful job of looking in there. :( But thanks for all the great picks. I'm hoping to get to quit a few of them.

Dealing with your TBR wasn't the hard part, it was trying to find something completely new that you already didn't have on that thing! LOL, I thought I was so clever trying to suggest these new books to you and then I'd look, and you already had it added.
