ABORT! ABORT!
I retract this rec. I couldn't even get through first chapter...way too much name dropping, my head was spinning. Pleh!
My pick is Slow Burn
Grey, I was supposed to pick for you. At this rate, you'll never read Elite. :P Paula, I'm going to be honest. I've read only three of those books and one of them was a DNF for me. So... I pick for you Obsidian :)
Yay Grey! For you, I’m picking
I think you’ve been trying to read it sooo I’m gonna give you that little nudge....I hope you enjoy!
Leslie - I pick Begin Again for you!! Enjoy!!!!
Lisa: I pick for you
.I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Yay...great pick Melinda!!
Judy, I pick
for you. Haven't read it but it sounds great!!!
Lisa wrote: "Judy, I pick for you. Haven't read it but it sounds great!!!"Yay! Thanks Lisa! I bought that a couple years ago and never got to it 😁
Leslie wrote: "I loved Vixen and the Vet. *swoon*"Ya me too!

The Vixen and the VetHope you love it as much as I did! 😁"
Thanks Judy! I’m looking forward to it!!
Jan, I was going to pick Iced for you, but since Shadowfever was just a 2-star read for you, I'm not taking a chance on it.Iced is the only book from your list that I've read, so since I know there's great potential for you to love a Lauren Gilley book, I'm picking
Red Rooster for you. Hope you love it!
Mod
I think I'm choosing
so you can guinea pig it for me...and tell me if I'm gonna love it. Hope you enjoy!
Leslie, I'm really glad you picked that for me! For Tessa, it was hard to choose because I've never read any of the books, but I love Terri Anne Browning so I pick:
That works! I have to get more books on the list before next month. :)

Thanks Nay. I did like others in the fever series, but then for me it started to go downhill. I will read Iced one day and just see.
I liked White Wolf (although not as much as the lean dogs books) so hopefully I'll like Red Rooster too.
Grey wrote: "Nay, this was a hard one for me... You and I are pretty similar taste wise...but I haven't read but 3 on your PFM list....and 2 of them I had a hand in proofing, so it's kind of unfair of me to say..."Thanks, Grey. When I was looking over my list, I kinda got a feeling that would be my pick this month because it's been so popular. I can't wait to read it!

I remembered that you didn't totally LOVE the first book, so I was concerned that this one might be the same. But I also knew that you'd probably want to read all things L. Gilley, so I gave it a shot.
Ha ha ha Nay. Yeah, that's pretty much right.
Melinda, I pick for you KA Time in Between.
Ya, Thankyou, Ela. That’s been on my list forever. Great choice. 😘
Lisa wrote: "Judy, I pick for you. Haven't read it but it sounds great!!!"Thanks Lisa! I just finished 😁 loved it 5* ....why do we love those f*ed-up bad boys? Lol
Oh, I'm so glad you liked it, Judy. I'll bump it up on my list!!
I finished Begin Again
and of course with my stupid book funk brain I didn't love it...another "just ok". 3 *** I liked it at beginning but at 50% I got bored and rest of story dragged. Anyway, another off the TBR!
Can't see that I already posted it, but finished
4.5 stars for me. I sorta figured it out way early - but no way did I see that Epilogue coming and I'm DYING to know that that's all about!! Great choice, so thank you for the pick, Melinda!!!
Oh yeah...I have challenge books to read. I completely forgot! lol
Nay, if I don't start my challenge reads at beginning of the month, I get all messed up!

Ela wrote: "PFM is kinda dragging....sorry!"Ela--are you talking about your book is dragging?
Damn, Ela. Bad luck.Mine is a struggle too. Too much gooey vampire and blood drinking detail. Blech. It might be good if I can get past that.
Even if you have to DNF, it's still a book off the TBR right? Trying to find a silver lining here. 😉

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 A Court of Mist and Fury. *a new month, a new pick from me!*)
4. On the last day of the month, someone...the hand of fate, maybe, will use the randomizer to pair up everyone. (Or worst case scenario, Grey will pick for everyone, and you *know* what that means, *shifty eyes*)
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 September 1st and you'll have until September 4th to select a book for your partner.**
