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

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

If your TBR shelf is on the verge of explosion (which is like, totally normal), we recommend you create another shelf with fewer books that you plan to read in the near future.

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





******************************

Here are the pairs:

2) Dhruv - 8) Nick
3) Richa - 9) Srikar
4) Subhasree - 10) Vipul
5) Bela - 11) Abhin
6) Shrikanth - 12) Denish
7) Selva - 13) Vishal

No, I am in the middle of it. But it's a very dreary and long read. I am thinking that when I have another target, I would be able to read it with more speed.

Why do you ask BTW?

I choose Things in Jars by Jess kidd for you. I've added it to my tbr too and will read it soon.

Happy Reading :)

I can select a book for you.
I have a suggestion for you though: please trim your list as mentioned in the preamble of this challenge.

Hi Shrikanth. I had a look at your shelf but since its predominantly composed of Indian authors and I haven't really been reading Indian authors for quite a few years now, the only ones I could pick were And Thereby Hangs a Tale by Jeffrey Archer - not his best work, but I'm a Jeffrey Archer fan and enjoy reading short stories
or
Lethal White by Robert Galbraith if you've read the first 3 books

If you don't like any of these selections, Selva can pick a book for you :)
