Pick for Me Challenge!!!

Come one, come all! You know you wanna...

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...hint hint, ME, Michele...*giggle*)!

2. Post in this thread that you want to participate this month. If you don't post here, I don't know you want in.

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 The Devil's Advocate. *a new month, a new pick from me!*)

4. On April 1st, someone...the hand of fate, maybe, will use the randomizer to pair up everyone. (Or worst case scenario, I really 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, or at least that you've finished...or DNF'd it (another book off your list is always a win in our book!)

**The sign up period will remain open until pairs are posted on April 1st and you'll have until April 4th to select a book for your partner or one of these other pick-happy little moppets will jump in and do it for you.**

Just limit the size of your PFM shelf....and put all PNR on there...I don't blame you.

I loved The Cruel Prince!

Teri, if you're on the desktop version there is an option right above the comment box to the right that says 'add book/author' - click that and then there is an option to add the "link" or add the "cover." If you choose the cover, then that gets you the book pic. I hope that helps.
