What's a TBR Pick-It-For-Me Challenge?

Like the name implies, those who participate in this monthly challenge will have a book selected for them by a partner. Partners will be randomly paired up. You will choose a book for your partner from their to read list (TBR), and they will choose one for you from your TBR list.

Once you have picked the book, come back to this thread and post what book you have chose for your partner. Also send a message to the person with the name of the book you have selected for them. Then when you're done with your book, come back to this thread and post your opinion so we know you have completed the challenge.

For this challenge, you need to either HAVE YOUR PROFILE SET TO PUBLIC (preferable) or make the person you're paired with your friend. I strongly advise keeping your bookshelves updated, otherwise you might end up with a recommendation for something that you've already read.

Sign up period will remain open until September 28 and you'll have until October 1 to make a selection for your partner.

Are you referring to the Read It & Reap program? This is a challenge thread for October. It is not where we list books for review.


message 14: by Shana (new)

Shana Dines (shanakd9) | 19 comments Yes, I think so. My book is supposed to be listed in October for others to read and review?

Sarah,

That was my list you picked from instead of Tammy's. It was my fault. I accidentally added my link to Tammy's name. I added the correct link. I'm sorry.

I have picked
Blue Bloods (Blue Bloods, #1) by Melissa de la Cruz because it is a fantastic series.
The Hollow (The Hollow, #1) by Jessica Verday because Hallowe'en

I hope you enjoy one or more of these great reads, I look forward to seeing what you pick for me!

Tammy ~Witching Hour Reads~ (03tammy-lynn) | 1434 comments @Sarah I have just had a chance to start Sweetly (Fairytale Retellings, #2) by Jackson Pearce and I am enjoying it so far.


message 33: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 82 comments @ Tammy... I'm glad you're enjoying it 🙂
I just finished "The Hollow". In all honesty, it was not what I was expecting... Didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hope to.
Now, I'm moving on to "Sea of Shadows".
Happy reading!

That sucks when you don't enjoy a book as much as you want to.


message 35: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 82 comments Yeah, but that's what I love about reading... It's a journey, whether you're into it or not.

I did, however, enjoy "Sea of Shadows" :-) Like you mentioned- it's Kelly Armstrong.

Thank you again for the picks!


Tammy ~Witching Hour Reads~ (03tammy-lynn) | 1434 comments It was my pleasure.


Tammy ~Witching Hour Reads~ (03tammy-lynn) | 1434 comments @Sarah I really enjoyed Sweetly (Fairytale Retellings, #2) by Jackson Pearce I look forward to reading more in the series. Thank you again.
