April 2018 ~ Pick-for-Me Challenge!

[Grey]

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 Harry Potter! *a new month, a new pick from me!*)

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

[Nay]

I'm in, of course!!

[Tessa]

In.

[Kooloo]

I’m in too and I’ll do the randomizer thang again
And will email it to Grey to post on page 1
So it’s easier to find 😘

[Leslie]

In! Gotta get started on March's pick.

[Lisa]

I am in - I still have to do my March read (Life of Anna - which for some reason I am hesitant to start).

[Ela]

Here

[Jean]

In!

[Nay]

Lisa--I'll BR Life of Anna with you if you haven't read it yet. It was my PFM book a few months ago and I never got to read it. I'm open any time.

[Lisa]

Awesome, Nay - Let's do that. I can start whenever you are free. I'm just moseying through some short books to see if I can get me outta my funk!!

[Nay]

Just let me know when you're finished with Hunted: Saved by the Billionaire Bad Boy *snicker* (not snickering about the possible goodness of the book, just about all that awful title! lol Who knows, it could be awesome!), and I'm ready to start whenever. This afternoon, tonight, tomorrow morning--whichever you say.

[Nay]

I went ahead and set up the BR thread for Enslaved: The Life of Anna (or The Life of Anna, Part 1) if anyone wants to join Lisa and me.

[Lisa]

Yay - I've missed reading with you!!!

[Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications]

As much as I hate to, I'm going to have to skip the April challenges. Hopefully I'll be caught back up in May.

[Nay]

Lisa wrote: "Yay - I've missed reading with you!!!"

Me too, Lisa! We still also need to do ACOTAR #2 at some point.

[Leslie]

Ok, when are we doing the picking??? I got ants in my pants!

[Grey]

Tomorrow, tomorrow, it's only a day awayyyy!

[Leslie]

It's a hard knock life, Grey! 😉

[Jan]

I've been away for most of March on a holiday (in New Zealand!!! It was great!!!!) and haven't got as much reading done as usual this month. So I'm waaayyyy behind on all my challenge reads. But I'm in for April. Why the heck not? Same shelf as usual. *goes to check shelf and see what's hangin' there*

[Melinda]

I wondered where you were? Did you have a nice holiday?
Welcome back.

[Nay]

Eep! I can’t believe it’s already time again! Yay! And I can’t believe Sunday is Easter! 🐣 🐰 🐇

Wasn’t Christmas just last week? Lol

[Kooloo]

Thanks. Yeah I had a great time. It's gotta be one of the most scenically beautiful places in the world, esp. the south island. Milford Sound. Just wow.

I liked the book too. Be interested to hear what you think of the film.

Can't wait to be randomised ;)

[Melinda]

That looks lovey Jan. My 2 younger daughters went to New Zealand as exchange students.They loved it. They went to Christchurch. One of them was staying with a really rich family and they had a helicopter and took her around the island. Then they parked in a paddock walked across the paddock had lunch then continued on their journey. It’s on my bucket list.

[Jan]

Wow Melinda. Pretty cool exchange family lol

[Kooloo]

HELLO MY SEXY THAAANGS YOU!!!

[Jan]

Thank you Kooloo. Hugs!!!

BTW, does this mean I pick for Jean? (Or for Tessa?) Just checkin'

[Tessa]

I pick for you. I thought for sure a historical was going to pop out at me, but you have a Mercy book begging to be picked. So,

[Tessa]

I doubt you will, but don't pick Half-Blood for Jean. She's read that one already. :)

[Tessa]

And thank you, Kooloo!!

[Lisa]

Grey - I am picking Wolfsong for you. If you love it even half as much as I did, then it'll be a great book for you!!!

[Nay]

Yay, Tessa! I have you! Looking at your list...

[Nay]

Ok, Tessa, I haven’t read any on your list (I listened to half of Blood of the Earth, but it didn’t grab me like Jane Yellowrock, although Khristine Hvam is an awesome narrator), so I’m picking one of the books that I really want to read and I have no idea why I haven’t read it yet.

Atheists Who Kneel and Pray

I hope you love it!

[Leslie]

Ok, hopefully I got this right. I am picking for Paula?!

Pocketful of Sand

This sounds so good. I have on my TBR and can't wait to see what you think.

[Leslie]

I probably won't even have any time to start reading today, but can't wait to see what is picked! *wriggles in excitement*

[Paula]

[Tessa]

Thank you Renee! That one does look good. :)

[Nay]
