Oh my lord. I'm in book heaven looking at Layne's PFM list. I need a roulette wheel to help me decide which one to choose for her because there are so MANY good ones on there!!! She has 5 of my 5 star reads on her list....I'm on overload here...
Ok Layne, when all else fails, I pick Emma Scott...so Forever Right Now it is. That said...at some point you must read/listen to Daisy Jones & the Six (I've read it and listened to the audiobook) - loved both. I also highly recommend My Oxford Year (both book and audiobook), Until It Fades & When Ashes Fall. I gave all of those 5 stars. I 4 starred Unloved and really recommend it too. Just as an fyi...Ok...enjoy!!

I've heard so many conflicting things about Horseman! But I was told by a book friend who's never failed me that I'd love it. I can always DNF!
And yay! I need 321 for the levels challenge!

I wish I knew how to stick my tongue out at you on here Ela!!
Cátia--I pick
. I was supposed to read it for pick-for-me last year and never got around to it, but I'm still looking forward to reading it!
Jen, I keep going back and forth between a couple, but I am settling on....

Lovers of the "C" book always stay together... The Bronze Horseman
Ok Teri, I've only read a couple on your list, but this one is well liked by a lot of my friends so my pick for you is Pretty Reckless

Who is your worst female book character besides Red? I love this review of TBH... https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Grey! Your list is so hard, because I haven't read any of them. *whining* There are a number that are on my tbr, though. I'm going to pick
since I've been wanting to try her books and this is on my own tbr. Crossing fingers.

Michele, I am SO happy to read more Emma Scott because that amazing lady can do no wrong. I just joked with Marissa that I could probably give it 5 ⭐️ before even reading it. So thank you so much for the pick! I am really looking forward to it! And also, thank you for the other recommendations as well - maybe Grey should just pair us for the next few months. 😂

lol...which one was that? my memory sucks.
if the h deserves to die in the first half, I can usually say fuck it and dnf it

Kim, I have to send you into the Ribbon Duet because those books are some of my favorites of life. They are seriously beautiful. Long, but beautiful. And I know you only have the first one on your list, but trust me, you will want to jump right into book 2! I’m so excited for you! Enjoy

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, Tessa, Renee...*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 Jezebel. *a new month, a new pick from me!*)
4. On August 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 August 1st and you'll have until August 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.**
