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 November 28 and you'll have until December 1 to make a selection for your partner.

Magnus Iskander Reim (magnusiskanderreim) The Winner's Curse (The Winner's Trilogy, #1) by Marie Rutkoski because ballrooms and beautiful prose are what each of us needs

and Royally Screwed (Royally, #1) by Emma Chase so you can feel a bit of warmth in those cold, cold winter months !

Tammy ~Witching Hour Reads~ (03tammy-lynn) | 1434 comments A very Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years!!

Sarah | 82 comments Tammy,

So life has been crazy, but wanted to let you know that I read "Splintered".
It was definitely different, and a fun twist to the original "Alice in Wonderland" story.
Thank you for the pick! I hope everyone had a great New Year's!
- Sarah


Tammy ~Witching Hour Reads~ (03tammy-lynn) | 1434 comments I am glad you enjoyed it Sarah!
