Pick It For Me?

[Daniel]

Hey guys,
I've seen this done on a lot of other groups and like it a lot.
Are any of you interested in doing a pick it for me challenge, where we sign up, get assigned partners, tell them our personal shelf to pick a book/books from, and read a book/books that our partners pick for us?
Just trying to gauge interest.

I love this idea, Daniel!!!

[Daniel]

Cool!
I think it's a good way of getting motivation to read something that's been on your shelf for a while.

[Karen’s Library]

I need to go make my shelf.

[Daniel]

Yes- preferably it would be a shelf that has a rather limited number of books. Telling your partner to pick books from a 500 book TBR pile is a little daunting. lol

Why not :)

[Daniel]

Yay Oda!

I just told my partner in another group to pick from my tbr of 1300+ lol. I was telling her one of these days I'll make a pifm shelf

[Daniel]

lol Joycedale.
That's a lot of scrolling.

[☆Joycedale☆]

Lol I cheat when someone does that and compare my read to their tbr and choose one of my favs

[Karen’s Library]

I made my shelf! It has about 30 books on it.

I have a own tbr shelf so People know where to look and I dont have to buy a new book.

Great Karen! Hopefully this garners enough interest and we can make it happen.

Good idea Oda.

[Karen’s Library]

I think I need to add some books to my list. I just realized I own books that aren't in my tbr list at all. So not done yet. I'll be back later to work on my pifm list. Have to go get ready. Going to see The Hobbit!!

[Daniel]

Ooh, enjoy the movie!

[M. A.]

I think this ia a great idea. Perfect for those time you can not decide for yourself lol

[Rose (The_Calm_Reader)]

Love this! I need to make a PIFM shelf!

[Daniel]

Awesome! Should I set up a sign up thread?

[M. A.]

I think that would great Daniel

[☆Joycedale☆]

[Rose (The_Calm_Reader)]

Got my shelf made!!! Only 50 books long! Took all the books on my Kindle & my bookshelf I haven't read yet & that is my pifm shelf! I may have a book buying problem lol :)

Wow, thanks so much for setting this up, Daniel, GREAT idea!

[Daniel]

Thanks David!
A little request- maybe when you send out your next group email, you can touch on this a bit? Spread the word throughout the group? It would be really appreciated.

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

YES! That's a great idea, Daniel! It's a new program in the group (because of your efforts) so it deserves to be spotlighted. I'm sending a group message today so I'll include it :) Thanks again!

[Katie.g]

[Chloe]

Yeah, Cool!

Daniel, I would like to try it. My life has calmed down somewhat and reading is my passion in life. So count me in.
Thanks
