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 February 26th and you'll have until March 1st to make a selection for your partner.

EVERYONE TO FINISHE THIS CHALLENGE WILL RECEIVE THIS BADGE.

Elsa, I have added you. You only have to finish one to complete the challenge, but the more books off the TBR list the better.

Christine Hatfield  (christinesbookshelves) | 4406 comments Carrie I don’t have those three books and Carrie you need to pick on what I’m currently reading list


message 32: by Carrie (new)

Carrie  (icanhasbooks) | 313 comments Sorry, the link you provided went to your profile, I assumed want to read was the shelf to pick from.

I'll repick from your currently reading, I didn't think to go there as I figured that they were books you were currently reading.


message 33: by Carrie (new)

Carrie  (icanhasbooks) | 313 comments Christine,

Let's try these

Me Before You (Me Before You, #1) by Jojo Moyes The Death of Mrs. Westaway by Ruth Ware Let it Snow by John Green

Happy Reading


message 34: by Christine (new)

Christine Hatfield  (christinesbookshelves) | 4406 comments Carrie that was my fault that I put the link of my profile up instead of putting the link of my currently reading book list up and Carrie thanks for repicking those three books for me on my currently reading book list and aww thanks Carrie


message 35: by Marla (new)

 Marla | 60 comments Oh my goodness, Elsa, so funny...
I am going to stick with your green theme:
Green Lake by S.K. Epperson Fighting Envy by Jennifer Miller Masquerade by Janette Rallison


message 36: by Elsa (new)

Elsa Carrion (ecarrion) | 416 comments Marla, I'm going with Masquerade by Janette Rallison


message 37: by Tani (new)

Tani | 25 comments I finished Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys this afternoon. It really illuminated a part of WWII that I had no clue about! It's terrifying to see that something like that could happen without most people being any the wiser.

I'm going to see about starting The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold over the next few days.
