Hey, Judy! Doing better--just trying to work through the pain to get my leg bending and straightening again.

To make things easier for you Jean, Leslie, and I can give you a quick rundown, which doesn't need all those pages!

I also LOVED the 'C' book, Kim! And so did Paula.
I am in! 😀 Got to update my list.The Bronze Horseman? Ugh! That book was torture. The "c' book? I didn't even read it and I hate it. 😉
Kim, the 'C' book you must experience yourself! 😉 I'm also on the 'love-it' side of the fence ❤️ if I get you, guess what I'm picking? LolBTW, here's my list...

Jan, i keep meaning to read A Study in Scarlet Women. I have it and the 2nd book, lol.

bev, I've been meaning to try Katherine Ashe for a while. Have you read the first one in that series? I also see you're going for North and South. Very brave. I lerved the series, but the book? Hmmm. I'll be interested to see what you think when you do get to it.

Nope. And i dont own it, but do have 2 other books of hers. I guess if i like it i can go back and read the first book.
It has been years since I have read any of the classics in general. I do love the adaptation so we will see.

I know I can always count on you to hate!

I too, am going to be revamping my PFM list. I figure if I didn't read them last year... odds aren't great that I'm going to read them this year either. You still have plenty of time before I randomize pairings, so no worries, keep building or editing your lists as you need to!
When are we starting this one?
Mod
Tomorrow, I will randomize the names, give everyone one last night to decide to jump in... hint hint, lurkers, LOL!

Leslie--I was going to pick one of the oldies that I loved, but I'm afraid they won't stand the test of time. Soooo I'm going with something I think will be a much better bet, even though I haven't read it yet either.
Making Faces by Amy Harmon
Lisa , I pick Silenced by Leddy Harper. 5 star read for me and I can loan it to you!
https://www.amazon.com/Silenced-Leddy...
Tessa I pick Royally Matched.
It sounds sweet and funny so not a bad way to start the New Year. Plus, it is on my own TBR so curious as to what you will think.

Ok, Lynette!!! You have so many great books on your list, but my first instinct was this. I pick for you:
Happy to see we have so many participants this month!!

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 Heartbreak Warfare. *a new month, a new pick from me!*)
4. On the January 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 on January 1st and you'll have until January 5th to select a book for your partner or one of these other pick-happy little moppets will jump in and do it for you.**
