Hi Friends!

This is an easy challenge where someone else picks a book for you to read from your bookshelf and you do the same for them. You have to read the chosen book the next month.

So, sign up for this Challenge by posting the link to your TBR shelf or the shelf you would like to read a book from.

If your TBR shelf is on the verge of explosion (which is like, totally normal), we recommend you create another shelf with fewer books that you plan to read in the near future.

Please make your profile public before taking part in this challenge. The pairs will be announced around mid-April. Make sure you come back and choose a book for your assigned partner by April 25th.





******************************

Here are the pairs:

2) Sharanya - 15) Isha
3) Deepak - 4) Caroline
6) Shrikanth - 14) Srikar
7) Laurel - 9) Kumar
8) Pragya - 23) Taani
10) Barny - 21) Sneha
11) Richa - 20) Rajat
12) Vishal - 17) Pallavi
13) Selva - 18) Shariq
19) Niharika - 5) Kishore
22) Albert - 16) booktuberbuddy

Stephen King is a brilliant writer who has his way with the words and On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft is both an account of his journey and a collection advices to aspiring writers.

Hope you enjoy the books!Stay Safe..Stay Home!
