Pick for Me Challenge!!!

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, Marissa, Ela...*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 Beautiful Player *a new month, a new pick from me!*)

4. On November 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 November 1st and you'll have until November 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.**

Sample shelf: Grey's Pick For Me

As soon as I saw your name, I laughed. I had no doubt and I’m excited for the kick in the rear. I read the first two chapters when Fanetti posted them on her website and immediately pre-ordered it. It’s shameful that it has yet to be read. 😔

Layne, Layne, Layne!!! I love your list! Some great one's that I've read and many that I'm longing to. It was a hard decision between two all-time favorites, but I'm going with Kulti by Mariana Zapata .

This was my first MZ book and remains my absolute favorite. If you also enjoy listening to audiobooks, Callie Dalton is probably my favorite female narrator and she does a fabulous German Kulti.

Lisa Aiello (lisaaiello) | 2460 comments Never mind - I find you, Jen. I am picking Free Hostage by S. Ann Cole mostly because I've been wanting to read it and I've seen great feedback. Hope you enjoy it!!!

😍😍😍 I think we're all going to have a great month of fabulous reads!! Fingers crossed.

After Somewhere, I might be harassing you for some book loans. Lol! I wish she had her book in KU.

Just as an FYI - if you like this one and you have KU, you may want to read the others in that series right away because Jeannine mentioned in her latest newsletter that they are coming off of KU soon.


message 50: by Michele (new)

Michele (guilliem) | 2131 comments Melinda, I pondered so many different books for you. In the end I settled on Risky Play (Red Card, #1) by Rachel Van Dyken because it's Rachel Van Dyken and I love her stuff! Hopefully you enjoy this one as much as I did!!
