What's a TBR Pick-It-For-Me Challenge?

Like the name implies, those who participate in this monthly challenge will have a book selected for them by a partner. Partners will be randomly paired up. You will choose a book for your partner from their to read list (TBR), and they will choose one for you from your TBR list.

Once you have picked the book, come back to this thread and post what book you have chose for your partner. Also send a message to the person with the name of the book you have selected for them. Then when you're done with your book, come back to this thread and post your opinion so we know you have completed the challenge.

For this challenge, you need to either HAVE YOUR PROFILE SET TO PUBLIC (preferable) or make the person you're paired with your friend. I strongly advise keeping your bookshelves updated, otherwise you might end up with a recommendation for something that you've already read.

Sign up period will remain open until August 28 and you'll have until September 1 to make a selection for your partner.

EVERYONE TO FINISHE THIS CHALLENGE WILL RECEIVE THIS BADGE.

Thank you, Rena ! Amazing choices ^^

Here are yours : Rowan and Eris by Campbell Jefferys , The Ruin (Cormac Reilly, #1) by Dervla McTiernan , The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt
After you've read the Sisters Brothers, don't hesitate to check out the movie, it has Joaquin Phoenix, Jake Gyllenhaal and John C. Reilly in it and it is amazing :)

I've discovered a lot of great books browsing your shelf ! :D And your owned TBR looks as huge as mine... My sincere sympathies.

Christine,

I read Dirty Little Secret (Wild Rose Ranch #1) by Jennifer Ryan and really enjoyed it. I will definitely continue this series. Thank you for the pick.

I've read Red Rising and absolutely loved it ! I was expected an average YA and I got an amazing sci-fi military communist-like gritty tale. I loved that everyone was somewhere on a scale of greys rather than blacks and whites (or, should I say reds and golds ?). Thank you very much ! :D

I ordered Golden Son five minutes after reading it. I'm starting Uprooted tonight :)
