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, Lisa, Tessa...*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 Waiting for the Sun. *a new month, a new pick from me!*)

4. On May 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 May 1st and you'll have until May 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.**

Sample shelf: Grey's Pick For Me

Yay! Thank you Leslie! I've wanted an excuse to read it! Isn't that silly...to need the nudge to read a book you know will be fabulous!?!

Marissa (marissadonofrio) | 169 comments Ela, my pick for you is Walking Wounded: A Novel. I have not read it yet but it’s been on my TBR for a long time. Lauren Gilley is pretty fantastic so I figure it’s a sound choice!
