February 2020 ~ Pick for Me Challenge
I'm in (even though I still need to read my January pick)...https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
I’m in! (Even though I still have to finish my January PFM😬) https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
I'm in too! I'll share my link soon but I really need to work on my PFM!
I'm in. I don't think I've read my pfm for about 4 months, but I might as well keep trying! I read half of last December's and I haven't given up, and I'm hoping I can still get January's in.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...I'm in a bit of a book slump... I really hope February's PFM will jolt me out of this.

Oh, great, Teri. That’s a lot of pressure. 😅

You and me both! I've been listening to audiobooks, but I think I've only finished one ebook in the past 3 months. I HATE it!

Melinda wrote: "I’m in"Hello, Melinda! I'm choosing this for you:
I thought it was a great story by Harmon and if you're doing the "themes challenge" you can kill two birds with one stone. *wink*
diann bryan wrote: "https://www.goodreads.com/review/list..."Diann, when I saw your list I thought, “I hope I get to pick for her!” but now I’m not only excited but conflicted! You have three books on there that I absolutely loved! However, I see you’ve been enjoying Kate Stewart and so you must read my favorite book by her...my pick for you is
. I hope you enjoy it!
Holy cannoli, Jean. You don't make it easy on a girl, do ya? So many amazing choices on your list. I finally settled on
Mod
Go in Grey's emergency kit (glittery blankie fort, Godiva, Moscato, Manny and Puffs Plus...) I hope you love it as much as I did.
Nicole I sent you a friend request, I have to choose your book but I can´t see them.

Leslie, for you I’m going with
I adore that series & book 3 comes out soon! Enjoy!
Marissa, you have the
on your list!!! :) BUT I won't do that to you even though Diann and I would be there to help you or you might just hear our maniacal laughter in your head. LOL So with that being said, you have several Mariana Zapata which I LOVE her and I have yet to read
so this is my pick for you and can't wait to hear how you like it.

I'm actually going to pick All Grown Up
as I'm reading this too for other challenge!! 🤞it turns out to be good one. (I jist finished Park Avenue Player and did not like it)
Jen wrote: "Marissa, you have the on your list!!! :) BUT I won't do that to you even though Diann and I would be there to help you or you might just hear our maniacal l..."Hahaha!!! I dodge The Bronze Horseman again😜 Thank you for picking MZ, I adore her books and I’m excited to read this one!

such a good series! cant wait for #3 :) enjoy!
Michele, so for you and since the other challenge is "age gap" i pick this one
If you like books with a widowed father with 2 kids, royals and old guy/young girl this book is a great option ;)
(and this cover is just something!)
Hope you like it! Happy reading ;)
Hey Grey! ok so I haven't read anything on your list! I decided on Lily White
because I loved Five :) hope its a good one :)
Jen, I'm picking something that Robin got me to read that I loved. Hope you enjoy it!

Ooh, I didn’t realize it was an age-gap romance. Perfect. I’ve enjoyed a couple of Keeland’s books, but they tend to be hit or miss. Although, I have enjoyed her solo-authored books way more than her co-authored books with Ward. Personally, I think she does much better on her own.

Awesome...now I can finally partake of the love that is Cory!!

because I loved Five :) hope its a good one :)"I just put that one on there, because Maryse had it listed on the blog as being a bully book, LOL! here's hoping it's a deliciously naughty one. haha! Thanks, Judy!
Mod
Catia, that was the easiest choice ever! I sincerely hope you forgive me for the journey you're about to take because I'm picking
for you and it was soooo good but it was soooo emotional!!! Get your tissues ready and brace yourself.

Month 2 of 2020! This challenge has endured the test of time in our group because it is definitely the most fun! Feel free to participate each month, or when your schedule allows. We're not picky, we love seeing you when you can!
The How-to
1. Create a new shelf, or update an 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, pick-happy moppets...*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!*) This is really important, especially the first month of a new year. I want to make sure that the link to everyone's shelves hasn't changed. If you're having difficulty finding the link to your shelf, please let me know.
4. On February 1st, *cough,cough* someone...the hand of fate, maybe, *cough, cough* 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* see above for my pick for the month, LOL!)
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 February 1st and you'll have until February 4th to select a book for your partner or one of these other scavengers will swoop in and do it for you.**
