I choose " A Man called Ove " for you to read. Since you didn't share any of your shelves for me to pick from, I took the liberty of going through your WTR and found this book. Hope you enjoy it :-) :-)

Hii Shashank, I think you got it wrong. You have to select a book for me from my bookshelf. For you, I am selecting the book 'A walk to Remember' from your bookshelf.

Do tell me which book you are picking up for me.

Yash (yashsethi) | 17 comments Selva wrote: "me too.

Hello Selva
I pick 1984 by George Orwell as one of your May read

Thanks Kavitha :-) I'll read Living Reed along with you. :-)


message 48: by Kan (new)

Kan Bhalla | 36 comments I always end up missing PIFM because this requires me to post my 'to read' list link. And when you access GR only on your phone app, trust me, its a pain! By the time, I remember to login on another device to copy my 'to read' list link, its usually too late! :( I'm not sure if other mobile-first people also face the same issue.

Is there a way to avoid adding the link in this post altogether? Maybe have a rule that lets a partner pick a book from the base 'to read' list of the partner in case there is no link added? Participation will be so much more easier and frequent :-)
