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 November 28 and you'll have until December 1 to make a selection for your partner.

EVERYONE TO FINISHE THIS CHALLENGE WILL RECEIVE THIS BADGE.

message 36: by Marla (last edited Dec 27, 2019 06:35PM) (new)

 Marla | 60 comments I finished my first book

#1 The Guardian (O'Malley #2) by Dee Henderson
The Guardian by Dee Henderson
Read: 12/18/19
Rating: Religious suspense books are still strange to me, but I liked the philosophical religious debates in this story. I liked the O'Malley family and I liked FBI agent, Dave Richman.

And my 2nd:

#2 Step on a Crack (Michael Bennett, #1) by James Patterson
Step on a Crack by James Patterson
Read: 12/27/19
Rating: Very sad story about the former hostage negotiator/now homicide detective, Michael Bennett, who is involved in a NY hostage situation over Christmas while his wife is dying of cancer. Loved the tidbits about their Magic School Bus family.

Thanks for the GREAT picks!!
