February 2018 ~ Pick for Me Challenge!

[Grey]

Pick for Me Challenge!!!

It's that time again. Hip Hip Hooray!

1. Create a new shelf, or update the existing shelf on your Goodreads profile, that includes approximately 20 books that you would like to have someone else use to pick a book for you to read. Label it "Pick For Me." Only books from this designated shelf will be selected for this challenge, (no matter how badly some of us want to pick something else)!

2. Post in this thread that you want to participate this month.

3. Provide the link to your Pick For Me shelf, (this will make it a bit easier for all parties involved... unless you all really *want* to read Arsen! *teehee*)

4. On the last day of the month, Fabi/Kooloo will use the randomizer to pair up everyone. (Or worst case scenario, Grey will pick for everyone, and you *know* what that means, LOL!)

5. Friend your partner who is picking for you or set your profile to public or your partner will not be able to access your shelf.

6. Post your selection for your partner in this thread.

7. Come back after finishing the book selected for you by your partner (even if it's after the month has ended) and let everybody know what you think about it.

**The sign up period will remain open until pairs are posted on January 31st and you'll have until February 4th to select a book for your partner.**

[Nay]

Ok, Lisa. This is one of those you either love or you hate, and I happened to love it. I pick:

The Solitude of Passion

DON'T read reviews and especially not spoilers!

**Disclaimer: I read this in 2013; therefore, in the end, if you wonder how the heck I could've given it 5 stars, I blame it on the 'I would have loved it 5 years ago' phenomenon.

[Jan]

Thank you Kooloo. *air kisses*

Renee, IKWYM. I've got some 4 and 5 star books on my shelves I really loved once, but I wonder how much I'd like them now...... hmmm.......

Welp. Leslie my dear. Haven't we been pairs before? LOL. Now. *scratches chin* What to pick for Leslie? What to pick?

BRB

[Jan]

OK. For Leslie I pick The Vixen and the Vet

I see you added it to your tbr in 2016, so IT'S ABOUT TIME you **** or get off the pot. (So to speak. Ahem).

It's had lots of great recs, so I hope you like it. While I'm a Katy Regnery fan in general, I haven't been able to get into this series as much. Actually, I think I started this one. Once. But I don't remember finishing it. Eeek! But I know lots of people love it, and you just might be one of that number. I hope so. But you won't know till you try it. So, enjoy!

[Nay]

Wow, Jan! That's sounds like a glowing recommendation! LOL!!

But really, I would think this is a 'Leslie book'.

[Paula]

Tessa - I have picked because it sounds really good and it is on my TBR, so you can be my guinea pig

[Leslie]

Thanks Jan....I think! Hee hee

I pick for Ela! Well...I loved Something Borrowed when I read it and its a cheating book. Ela, I think you will enjoy. 😗

[Kooloo]

Paula don't hate me (later) but is like A RIGHT OF PASSAGE with our group!!!

Soooo my dear friend it's your time to...

[Lisa]

Nay, it was like I was staring at my own Pick For Me shelf...so many of the same books! In the end, I pick cuz it's gotten great reviews (and I want to read it).

[Lisa]

Thank you so much for my pick...I'm excited to finally get to this one!!

Thank you, Lisa!!! I just added My Torin last minute!

The Solitude of Passion definitely brings the angst--I hope you love it!!

[Jean]

Grey, there are 8 books on your list I want you to read right now! Ok, let me think......

[Ela]

Leslie wrote: "Thanks Jan....I think! Hee hee

Thanks Leslie! I've been meaning to read this forever!

[Ela]

Jan I pick for you Leave a Trail (Signal Bend, #7)

[Leslie]

Ela, warning: the BFF is a narcissistic bee-yotch. Sometimes you need a "villian" to make story interesting.

ROFL Alright! Hopefully it's as good as it sounds. :)

[Tessa]

Can I pick five books for Jean to read? Please? lol HAVE YOU SEEN HER LIST? I seriously have to choose between all these five stars on her list. Currently, I'm torn between Mafia and His Angel and Half-Blood.

[Tessa]

Okay, for Jean, my Second Book Husband told me what to pick, so Half-Blood

Warning. Aiden belongs to Amy and Seth is mine. :D *licks Seth* See! Official.

[Jean]

Ha Tessa! When I saw you had me, I thought.... 'she's definitely going to pick Mafia and His Angel'....!! Half-Blood it is!!! Aiden and Seth......we'll see which of you I have to fight for my choice! Thank you!

It was on mine too - wait I think it was a pick4me also
Need to check

[Jean]

This was really hard for me to pick for Grey.....so many I loved on her list.....Pull Me Close, A Love Letter to Whiskey, The Darkest Sunrise, The Gravity of Us, Devil In Spring.....gah!!!!

But, here's my ACTUAL pick for you:



I waited too long to read it and was kicking myself! Your turn!

[Kooloo]

oh wow Grey your list should be my ATF list *runs to update the list again* 💃🏻

Ok so is 80 books too much - you think😳

You know, I adored Mafia and his Angel, but Covenant is up there in the best ever category. I was tempted to have someone actually read MandA but Covenant transcends that. :) Also... Seth. And Aiden. All teasing aside, Aiden is pretty awesome too.
