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-May. Make sure you come back and choose a book for your assigned partner by May 25th.





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

Here are the pairs:

2) Taani - 10) Caroline

3) Suditi - 12) Barny

4) Kirti - 21) Kumar

7) B - 9) Shrikanth

11) Kishore - 16) Pragya

15) Selva - 18) Melancholic

17) Srikar - 22) Rishab

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

SatyaAditya B hey taani, I would pick Circe, from your to read list. i read mythos recently and some what liked Greek mythology. And Circe went to top charts in that genre. so that would be interesting I think.

SatyaAditya B hey suditi, there are no to reads in your list, so I would suggest shiva trilogy or ram series, which are my go-to books. if you already read those. go for "A little life"
