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 July 28 and you'll have until August 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.

Hey, I will attempt to read all three of those books, at least one, and that at least one will be The Dream Thieves. The only book on your to-read list that I've read is The Red Pyramid, so that is what I've picked for you to read. I hope you enjoy it!

I've been meaning to read that for a while now. Thanks for the pick, Gloria.

Sophie and I forgot to say but I will read either On the Edge (The Edge, #1) by Ilona Andrews or The Lost Prince (The Iron Fey Call of the Forgotten, #1) by Julie Kagawa though I might try for all 3 :)


message 47: by [deleted user] (last edited Aug 03, 2014 08:02PM) (new)

Gloria, I finished reading The Red Pyramid (Kane Chronicles, #1) by Rick Riordan . I loved it a lot, though not as good as his other series. But it was fun and snarky. Thanks for the pick:)


♪♫Gloria♫♪ | 52 comments No problem. I remember enjoying that a lot when I read it. I should get around to reading your picks within the next week or two, btw.


message 49: by Jennifer (last edited Aug 05, 2014 06:42PM) (new)

Jennifer (featherlashes) Tammy ~Witching Hour Reads~, I just finished Stolen (Women of the Otherworld #2) by Kelley Armstrong Stolen by Kelley Armstrong. I started this book back in 2011 but put it down as DNF. So I'm glad you picked this one as one of your suggestions- it motivated me to finish it. I didn't like it quite as much as the first book Bitten but I enjoyed it well enough to continue the series. Plus I'm glad I know the story since I got pretty hooked on the Bitten TV show. Now I'll know what's going on if they move forward with the second season. Thanks again! https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

My pleasure, I felt the same way when I read stolen, and read it for the same reason. :)
