And I guess I'll also be skipping Bev's June Challenge since the book I'm supposed to be reading is the one keeping me so damn busy.
No worries Robin. These are crazy busy months for you.
I'm using the shelf we used the first time, do I need to repost?
I haven't finished my May one yet 39% :( but I'm in for June.

I haven't finished my May pick yet. I'm in for June.
Psst... If I get Kate, she's getting a bully book. :P

Oh.my.gawwwd. Have y'all seen the books Kate has on her shelf?! *thud* hits the floorEverybody is going to want to pick for Kate. ha!!!
Hey, now. I'm looking at Oblivion. You should appreciate that! :P You adore the Lux series.
I most certainly do. :-). But I'm not sure I could pick a single one off Kate's shelf. :-O
Pfft. She only has, what? 10 5 star books from my list on the pick me list? What's that really... :D
Back off Tessa, (and you too Fabi) I want Kate!!! Some of you have all these PNR/Fantasy stuff that would make it very difficult for me to pick. I'm calling dibs on Kate.
LMAO! I saw some nice choices on that list as well!

Hey now! I have a lot of non-PNR stuff. Last month, Fabi picked Night Shifts Black for me. :) I still have things like Wrecked and Ruin, Infamous Ellen James, and Door One... Which apparently are the only CR books. I have to add more, I guess.
Kate is either going to feel extremely loved & welcomed OR she will think we are a bunch of crazies and go running for the hills. Bring it Lisa!

Hahaha! It's like "oooh, new bloo..."
Your point? 10 5 star books on that list! 10!!
I just revised my pick-for-me list. I got rid of some of the "first in long series" ones and replaced with some stand alones.
Haha. I don't like bully books so it's odds on I will get to pick for Kate.
lol She's got a lot of goodies on there. A lot are not bully books. :)

Alright Lisa. You are now working the VIP entrance at a SXSW party. Glamorous, I know. But...better than a hamster! 😂😂😂
Um.. "star"..."ticket taker"...yeah, same thing! (whispers...hey at least you aren't in that weird band, Glass Surface!)
Oh gosh. Could you imagine being a character in a book? I would read way to much into it, lol. Like, wait that's how you see me?
Is the manager of Glass Surface Fabi?
Choices:A woman with short reddish hair pushed back by tortoise shell glasses...
or
A woman with spiky blue hair wearing a Anthrax t-shirt...
or fill in the blank:
A woman with ____ ____ hair, blah blah blah :D
Oooh make it like a mad lib or when was Glass Surface heydays?
90s?
Like she could be a Winona Rider, Drew Barrymore, or Courtney Love type, lol.

hahaha I didn't put that much thought into GS yet. So far they only come up once, but that might change. *might*
Fabi is? I love it.
I keep thinking of Fabi as a Joan Baez type playing her guitar.

LOL No I was kidding. As of now I have no members mentioned aside from the lead singer and he's a dude that goes nameless. But, if I use them again down the line... 🤔
Glass Surface really sounds like an 80s band though.
It totally does. They'll have to be retro.

If you've never played before, jump on in. Simply create a new shelf in your GR books library for the Pick For Me challenge. Add 20 or so of your favorite, unread books. Then, add a link to your shelf in a post below.
At the end of the month pairs will be randomly selected to pick a book from your Pick For Me shelf. You'll have the entire month of June to read it and come back to let us know how you liked it.
Picking a book for someone else, and having someone pick a book for you, is FUN! Come play!
