September 2019 ~ Pick-for-Me Challenge
I'm skipping this month. I have Maggie on the brain and she won't leave me alone so I'll be writing in my spare time. Have fun!

I’m in, Grey!
I have to bow out this month also. Work is out of control and just no time to read right now 😢
Woohoo Robin is writing! I’m reading...so... I’m in! 😊. Thanks Grey!https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Right! And I’ve already planned on having you pick 1 of 2 choices for me if neither get picked in Sept. 😁

I’m actually going to Vietnam on 2nd September. So bare with me I might be in transit if the pick is slow.
I really, really hope I get to pick for T.!!!! 🤞🤞🤞

If you don't get my name, I'll let you pick it for me, anyway. 😜 Robin and now you have highly recommended it as a "must read soon!"

I feel like re-reading Ghosted. That's how much I loved it.
I am out this month - the only reading I have been doing the past two months is excel spreadsheets - thank God for audio books, but I have to listen to something that I don't need to pay attention to. I will be back in the game in October.

And see, now I'm re-reading Ghosted. :) YOUR FAULT! :P Actually to be honest, I really did adore it that much that I can re-read it again.

Whoever gets chosen as my PFM has some serious pressure on them now. Thanks, ladies!
Tessa, I'm going to do re-read sometime too. I read it first time, this time I will do audio as its on Hoopla!

Lynette wrote: "I am in if it isn’t too late!"Maybe PM Grey to catch her before she draws the names?
Mod
Grey, I am glad you are ok, I was getting a little worried. Take your time, we can wait.
Grey wrote: "not too late! omg. life is totally interfering here, LOL! Robin just messaged me. Today was first official day back to school and it's been insane in my office. I am voice texting on my way home. s..."It's all good! Just glad all is good with you!

Lynette, I've gotta go with
. I loved it and I think you will too!!As a sidenote, I really loved The Last Hour of Gann but it's super long. When you have time, you should definitely try to read it.

Hey Judy! My pick for you is
. If I see Susan Fanetti on a list, I’m always picking her. She’s ridiculously underrated and so unbelievably talented! I hope you enjoy it!
Grey wrote: "It was another very easy pick for me. Layne, I hope you enjoy !"Great pick, Grey! You’re going to love this book, Layne!
Ok Ms world-traveler, cookie-lover Melinda - I pick: Muscle Memory
You had quite a few I've read on your list but none were 5 stars for me, so I went with one I WANT to read instead. This one intrigues me and cant wait to hear what you think.
Marissa wrote: "Hey Judy! My pick for you is . If I see Susan Fanetti on a list, I’m always picking her. She’s ridiculously underrated and so unbelievably talented! I hope you enjoy it!"I know what you'll be picking for me if you ever get my name, Marissa. 😜
T. wrote: "Marissa wrote: "Hey Judy! My pick for you is . If I see Susan Fanetti on a list, I’m always picking her. She’s ridiculously underrated and so unbelievably talented! I ..."Without a doubt!! You know how much I love her!!
Tessa wrote: "I'm in. :)"I think I'm going to need to apologize before I pick your book, because I haven't read one single book on your PFM shelf or do I ever or often read PNR or fantasy. Well, except for when it includes time travel and that's why I'm picking
. I've borrowed this ebook twice from my library and never got to it. Maybe I'll read it this month, too.

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, Nay, Marissa...*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 My Time in The Affair. *a new month, a new pick from me!*)
4. On September 2nd, 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 September 2nd and you'll have until September 5th to select a book for your partner or one of these other pick-happy little moppets will jump in and do it for you. (Sorry I'm late getting this post up!)**
