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

EVERYONE TO FINISHE THIS CHALLENGE WILL RECEIVE THIS BADGE.

 Marla | 60 comments Thanks for the picks, Tari. I read lots of mysteries, but I like serial killers and don't read many cozy mysteries, so I'll try my best.
Here's a few choices for you:
Homicide in Hardcover (Bibliophile Mystery, #1) by Kate Carlisle ~ this one is on my list too
A Crafty Killing (Victoria Square, #1) by Lorraine Bartlett ~ oldest on your list
A Stew to a Kill (A Callie's Kitchen Cozy Mystery Book 4) by Jenny Kales ~ highest rated on your list
