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 Beautiful Player...again. *a new month, a new pick from me!*)

4. On the November 1st, 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 November 1st and you will have until November 5th to select a book for your partner.**

Jan (jan130) Tessa!! I wanted to pick Well Hung for you just cos of the title LOL. (I know, I'm so mature like that). But my actual pick for you is Binding 13 (Boys of Tommen, #1) by Chloe Walsh

The sequel is coming out later this month, so you've got time to read it before then. Enjoy.

Paula White | 800 comments I’m on the app so no fancy links!

Jan - I choose More than a feeling for you! I know, I picked a rockstar book - shocker! I haven’t read this one - waiting for a price reduction!


message 27: by Paula (new)

Paula White | 800 comments Ooh good pick Jan! Can’t wait for Keeping 13!

Yeah me too. Only a few more weeks :D

Thanks for picking More Than a Feeling for me. I bought it back in Feb but haven't read it yet. Maybe it was on sale then? Can't remember. I chose a rock star book over on the ATF thread too - from Nay's list - At This Moment. Goody. I do like a good rock star read.


message 29: by Nay (new)

Nay (4ukcats) Ela--so I guess it'll be Archangel's Storm Archangel's Storm (Guild Hunter, #5) by Nalini Singh

That's the only other PnR I see. 🤷

All the love for it, when it was 99 cents I had to buy it. Glad to give it a try.


message 32: by Tessa (new)

Tessa | 1761 comments Renee... do you really even question what I'm going to recommend? Honestly, I almost picked two others since they are awesome too. Why have you not read Hideaway or S7ven Sinners yet? :P

That said, of COURSE my pick for you is The Mafia And His Angel Part 1 (Tainted Hearts, #1) by Lylah James

If it hadn't been there, I'd have been torn between those two up there. Like, flip a quarter torn!

I giggled, I get to pick for Jean again!

Twinnie! I pick, Quintessentially Q (Monsters in the Dark, #2) by Pepper Winters for you, I hope you love it as much as I did.


message 36: by JudyCa (new)

JudyCa | 1709 comments Ok Michele, after much consideration I pick Bad Things Bad Things (Tristan & Danika, #1) by R.K. Lilley :)
I can't believe you haven't read this yet! Enjoy, and prepare to read all 3...unless you hate it...hope you love it...lol

message 38: by Melinda (new)

Melinda Ruyten | 1027 comments Judy, you lucky thing getting to read that book Arsen. I loved it

Thankyou Leslie, that has been on my list for ages.

I’m on my lunch break using the app so I will pick for Paula when I get home. Rubs hands together. 🤣🤪

That sai..."


I haven't read Hideaway because I wasn't in a huge hurry since Kill Switch wasn't out yet and I haven't read Born Sinner because I didn't realize it was a great book. I don't even remember what triggered me to put it on my PFM shelf.

And thanks for my pick--I knew that would be it! lol

lol Of course it was. I will push the book on everyone, unless they don't like mafia books. :P

Yay! Thanks Judy - everyone has been telling me to read it!!


message 42: by Michele (new)

Michele (guilliem) | 2131 comments Grey, you had some really great options on there...hence my delay in picking for you. I’m going with When Life Happened by Jewel E. Ann . I hope you like it as much as I did!
