Oooh, this is super hard, actually. I've only read one book on your PFM list. Tarryn's
. It doesn't actually come out until December 30th... which I'm cool if you don't want to read it until the end of the month, or if you have an ARC and were planning to read it anyway, that works too! You do have a couple other books on your list that definitely sound interesting to me too...but this one, I gave a 4.5 star rating to, so I'd be interested to see what you think.
Mod
so that’s my pick for you. I’m so anxious to hear your thoughts!"Awesome! I'm going to start it right now. Thank you! <3

Yay Grey! You can hop in and read along with me!!
I was super excited to get to pick for T.!! First of all, there are soooo many books on her shelf that we could buddy read...seriously girl so many on that list I would BR with you (just let me finish my 2,000 ARC's first lol)!That said, I'm choosing
. It was a 5 star read for me this year...it's a little different, so be ready for that. I listened to it through audio mostly as I recall. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!! *fingers crossed*
Michele, how am I supposed to pick just one from your amazeballs list? After much back and forth, I choose
. I hope you love it!!!
Lisa wrote: "Michele, how am I supposed to pick just one from your amazeballs list? After much back and forth, I choose . I hope you love it!!!"Lisa, I knew you’d have some fun with my list!! Thanks for the pick! I’ve been meaning to read that forever!!!
Melinda - I pick for you: Burrying Water
I havent read it, but it sounds good AND I'm reading a K.A. Tucker book right now (Say You Still Love Me)
Ela wrote: "I'm in...."Ela, this was a really hard decision. The two books that I've read on your list just didn't feel right, so I'm picking
by Kristen Ashley. I haven't gotten to that KA book, yet, but I've enjoyed all of the other RC stories. It should be a nice, easy read for December.
Michele wrote: "I was super excited to get to pick for T.!! First of all, there are soooo many books on her shelf that we could buddy read...seriously girl so many on that list I would BR with you (just let me fin..."Thanks, Michele! I'm aware of its magical realism elements, so I'm ready.
I'm all for buddy reads, but you got slow down on those ARCs first. 😁
Please make sure y'all let me know if you're br'ing. I need to do one!
Ooh, Lynette! My pick for you is easy:

Oooh, good to know, Grey! I hope it continues that way!
Grey wrote: "psst, to Layne and Michele and Tessa...and anyone else keeping track, I am LOVING ITUE!"Me too! I want to read it MORE but life is getting in the WAY!!
Lisa, my pick for you is
and I just added it to my list...it seems like a forbidden romance... Let me know all about it hihih
Cátia wrote: "Lisa, my pick for you is and I just added it to my list...it seems like a forbidden romance... Let me know all about it hihih"Ohhh this one has me intrigued! Let us know how it is Lisa!!
Cátia wrote: "Lisa, my pick for you is and I just added it to my list...it seems like a forbidden romance... Let me know all about it hihih"Thank you for my pick, Catia. I'll dive into this one next. Can't wait to get started on it!!!

I had to refresh my memory as to what this one was about - and now I'm super stoked and rather intrigued myself. That's the great thing about TBR lists that are miles long. You forget what you have in there, so it's like opening a present when you dig one of them out!!!
That´s why I just love this challenge so much! It´s always a surprise...

Ooh, that's on my "read this book dammit' shelf! I'm ready for a good teacher/student book. Maybe I can read it soon, 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, Ela, Tessa...*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 Arsen. *a new month, a new pick from me!*)
4. On December 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 December 1st and you'll have until December 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.**
