Jonel Would you like someone to choose a book for you to read? This is a monthly challenge where participants get paired up randomly and their partner picks a book for them to read. If this sounds like fun to you, welcome to October's Pick It For Me challenge!

This challenge runs from October 1st to October 31st.

Sign ups end on Sept 28th (8 PM EST Time). Partners will be assigned on the same day. Book choices for your partners are to be given on or before October 1st. Please check back often during that time to be sure that you don't miss anything!

Rules
1. Sign up below with your to-read shelf (or the shelf you prefer your picks to come from)
2. Partners will be paired randomly (Please be sure that your profile is set to public, or that you friend your partner so that they can see your shelves).
3. Partners pick two books from their partners shelf for them to read (either the 'to read shelf' or one specified by the partner).
4. You only have to read one book to complete this challenge.
5. Once you have finished, post below so that we know you have completed the challenge.

Elsbeth (elsbethgm) Destiny, you have a lot of interesting books! I've picked 2 I'm very curious about. I work in a bookshop and have looked at them several times (but still have so many other books to read...).

Happy reading!

Laura Janessa, I can't believe that you haven't read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (Chronicles of Narnia, #1) by C.S. Lewis so I have to pick that one and then I noticed you had a lot of great classics. So for my other pick, I chose The Woman in White. The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins . Thanks for sharing your shelf. I loved looking through it!

Katie Burke (katiekate98) Jonel, could I do Feyland The Dark Realm (Feyland, #1) by Anthea Sharp instead? I never realized that Spark was the seventh book in the Feyland series.

Most definitely Katie, that's why I asked. Spark is book 1 in the Feyguard section of the Feyland series so starting at the beginning will give you context. (does that make sense?)

Ohhhh, I can't decide, so I guess I shall try and read both this month :D


message 42: by Trinity (new)

Trinity | 87 comments I must be Trinity #9 lol. I'm excited to start Divergent! Thanks for the pick. I am refusing to watch the movie until I've read the book. Same with the Host.


message 43: by Trinity (new)

Trinity | 87 comments For Jan I pick Shadow and Bone (The Grisha, #1) by Leigh Bardugo and The Parasol Protectorate Soulless, Blameless, and Changeless by Gail Carriger ... not the boxed set but it wouldn't pull up just soulless for some reason... Both are books on my to reads list that I have heard nothing but great things about and I have to tell you everything o REALLY wanted to pick it seems you have already read.


message 44: by Jan (new)

No worries...I just knew the books selected on the other Trinity I had already read.


message 48: by Elsbeth (new)

Elsbeth (elsbethgm) I'm still waiting for Trinity#17 to pick my books. I sent her a message yesterday, but so far no responce...

And I'm so curious as to what I'll have to read!


message 49: by Elsbeth (new)

Elsbeth (elsbethgm) Well, Kara, maybe we should just pick for each other, if they don't do it?


message 50: by Jonel (new)

Jonel Hey Ladies; lets give them a couple more days. Not everyone has a chance to log on every day, and some of our members have classes during the week. If we don't hear from them by the end of the weekend, then I'm definitely up for your suggestion, Elsbeth.
