Pick for Me Challenge!!!

Come one, come all! It's fun... really!!!

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 March 1st and you'll have until March 4th to select a book for your partner.**

message 15: by Jan (new)

Jan (jan130) * waves to Fabi*

Here's my updated list. I'm really trying to include books that I do actually want to read, and weeding out the old ones I probably won't read anyway.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments *waves back to Jan* :-)

I expanded my shelf too Jan. I also made sure that the books on it I already own. That way I can kill two birds with one stone. Read a book I want to read and take a book off my tbr.


message 17: by Jan (new)

Jan (jan130) Good move.

message 29: by Nay (new)

Nay (4ukcats) Yay, Jean!

What about Ela??


message 30: by Jean (new)

Jean | 1658 comments Renee, I'm going to Nashville!!!!


message 31: by Nay (new)

Nay (4ukcats) Oh yeah! I meant to mention that when I saw you talking about it the other day. That's awesome! I can't remember if you said--are you here for the weekend? And just sightseeing or what?? I think I remember you saying something about going to the Opry?


message 32: by Jean (new)

Jean | 1658 comments We're getting there late Sunday afternoon and coming home Friday afternoon! Yep, going to the Opry. Are you in Nashville or close by? Any suggestions for must sees or must eat places?


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments Jean wrote: "Renee, I'm going to Nashville!!!!"

I love Nashville! I've only been once and have been dying to go back ever since. Have fun Jean!


message 34: by Nay (new)

Nay (4ukcats) I'm about 20 miles north of Nashville, up toward the Kentucky line.

There are so many places to go and eat and Nashville. If you enjoy country music, there's the Country Music Hall of Fame, The Ryman, The Bluebird Cafe and Tootsies. Really, most anything you do in Nashville is going to revolve around country music.

My son said a hot new(ish) restaurant is FGL House (Florida Georgia Line). We also have restaurants with the Nashville hot chicken (which has been around forever but I've never had). Hattie B's is probably the most popular.

I think I remember seeing that you're going to Lynchburg? If so, you need to eat at Miss Mary Bobo's. Wonderful TRUE home cooking.


message 35: by Kooloo (new)

Kooloo | 596 comments I've been to Knoxville and love it too HAVE SO MUCH FUN JEAN!!!


message 36: by Jean (new)

Jean | 1658 comments Thanks Renee for all that info!


message 37: by Nay (new)

Nay (4ukcats) You're welcome! And I can't believe I forgot to mention one of the most fun places. If you like to dance (again, country music), you have to go to the Wildhorse Saloon. They also have food. It's an institution here and is popular with the locals as well as tourists.


message 38: by Melinda (new)

Melinda Ruyten | 1027 comments I think I want to come too. How far from Australia? Sounds great


message 39: by Kooloo (new)

Kooloo | 596 comments Sorry I'm on call and had to go in this evening

Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments Or did I get that wrong? Lisa picking for me? Then who do I pick for?


message 47: by Paula (new)

Paula White | 800 comments That was easy - Jan (hope this is better than the last one I chose for you) it has to be At This Moment (Of Love And Madness #1) by Karen Cimms


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments Ok, looks like I pick for Lisa since that's her shelf link by my name.

Lisa!!! Easy choice for me hun. Take a peek at the trainwreck that is Enslaved (The Life of Anna, #1) by Marissa Honeycutt


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments Wait, that's the wrong book? You have The Life of Anna Part 1 on your shelf. I assumed that was book one but maybe not. Anyways, the one in your shelf is the one I pick.
