An easy challenge where someone else picks a book for you from your bookshelf and you do the same for someone else. You have to read the chosen book the next month.

So, sign up for this Challenge by posting your TBR shelf or the shelf from which you want to read a book.

Please make your profile public before taking part in this challenge. The pairs will be announced by February 15. Make sure you come back and choose a book for your assigned partner by February 25.

Ronak,
I am picking 1984 for you from your entire tbr. It's a political dystopian and I really enjoyed it. Hope you'll as well.

Hello Jyoti!
You have an interesting book shelf !
So many books i didn't even knew existed. Since you love Non-fictions, i'd like to recommend:
1. What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions by Munroe, Randall

OR

2. The Lost Symbol (Robert Langdon, #3) by Dan Brown

You may read either one or both depending on your availability.

Also, you can pick books from My Queued List

Hope you have a good time reading.

Hi Makrand,

Thanks for choosing these. I think I'll finally complete What if?. :)

I've picked three books from your shelf-

1. Neverwhere

3. The Outsider

You may read one of these or all three. Happy reading! :)

Thanks Shrikant. Mockingbird has been on my TBR for a long long time now. So thanks for picking it. Hopefully it's a great read

Apologies for the delay. I was on a personal travel for the last 9-10 days, so I didn't access GR in this time.

I was split between Every Breath and Kite Runner but since I have already read it I pick The Kite Runner for your read in March.

Hopefully it's a great read for you as it was for me. Enjoy
