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-November. Make sure you come back and choose a book for your assigned partner by November 25th.

Last chance to squeeze in some extra reading before the year ends!





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

Here are the pairs:

2) Shrikanth - 6) Nisha
3) Pragya - 8) Vishal
5) Dhruv - 9) Tanaya
4) Richa - 10) Arpit
7) Kirti - 11) Selva

Hi Pragya,
Thank you so so much! I so wanted to read Magical realism.
And your need-to-read-soon shelf is awesome! I loved most of the books.
Kafka, Verity, A gentleman, Shining, Eleanor.
So, won't choose one! Pick any of the following.
1. If you seek a serious brainfuck: Read 'Kafka on the Shore'
2. For chills: Read 'Verity'
3. To warm your heart: 'A gentleman in Moscow' which is my all time favorite. <3

Happy reading!

Hi Vishal,

Hi bela, but i don't have this book in my to read list can you select another
From my to read list that i have provided in this page

Bela Dedhia | 1138 comments @Shrikanth
I am so sorry. I mixed up the reading list with someone else’s .

I can see that you have a lot of indian authors in your to- read list. So I will go with those for you.
You can either go ahead with the Ramchandra series and read Raavan or you can read Baaz by Anuja Chauhan . I leave the choice to you.
Happy reading !
