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

Robin (robinpickell) | 1298 comments Thanx for my choices Tammy, I still cannot decide, so I shall try all of them!

I enjoy this challenge too, mainly because sometimes I cannot decide what books to read. . . . because I want to read all of them.

Tammy ~Witching Hour Reads~ (03tammy-lynn) | 1434 comments My pleasure Leigh.


message 23: by Robin (new)

Robin (robinpickell) | 1298 comments Tammy, I tried reading Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles, #1) by Marissa Meyer , but couldn't get into it really. I read in the reviews the story really picks up in Scarlet (Cròniques lunars, #2) by Marissa Meyer , so I read that one too. I felt it was good, but it's not a series I feel compelled to keep reading at the moment. I still have Cruel Beauty (Cruel Beauty Universe, #1) by Rosamund Hodge , but I haven't opened it yet.


Tammy ~Witching Hour Reads~ (03tammy-lynn) | 1434 comments Robin, I tried Cinder and could not get into it either, I gave up but I have friends who loved it. I thought it was just me. When you get a chance to read Cruel Beauty let me know what you think of it.

will do (∩_∩). I have a few books in my pile and a number on my kindle/nook that are calling to me, but I promise to get to it.


Tammy ~Witching Hour Reads~ (03tammy-lynn) | 1434 comments I read Poor Unfortunate Soul A Tale of the Sea Witch by Serena Valentino , I enjoyed Ursula's story, but it leaves it finished, But unfinished like there will be more books in the series.
