Pick It For Me Challenge (January/February)
Be the way I'm already reading two books right now, almost done with one of them, & just started the other for a buddy read, so if I get assigned a partner my books won't start for a week or two from now!
Awesome guys!And Rose, that's no problem at all.
Im in. I think this is really going to test my ready ocd tendency, I have an issue where I have to read the whole series before I can move on. Guess I will have to fight through that lol.

This exercise made me realize how many books I own but haven't read yet. Yikes!! ;)
@Karen I thought the same thing! This challenge made me realize just how many books I have that I haven't read! Yikes! So glad you are joining <3
We have 8 people signed up already- I'd love to have more! Keep signing up, guys!

All of the books I already own, most on my Kindle or Nook. I would really like to get most of these read this year. Thanks for this challenge, Daniel, it helped get me organized :)
Jenny, one of the reasons I like this challenge is because we all have books lying around that we often neglect to read!
Mod
Or even remembered we had! ;)
We have 10 people signed up so far, which is enough for 5 partnerships!Keep the sign ups coming!
I suppose I'll do this :) haven't participated in a challenge in months

I know! I was worried it would just be me. LOL
Im in too! Now off to make a pick it for me shelf :)
Ah why the heck not? XD I'm in, I'll go make a shelf right now.Edit: Shelf made. (And added some books I haven't started yet, but own already. XD; It's alright to say "Can't do" if it's a book I can't afford, or if it's not at the library right?)
I'm in although I'm not a fast reader
Mod
I am in! I am on the app so I can't link right now, but I have a shelf own to read.

You can maybe ask your partner to pick some back ups just in case their first picks don't work.

For the people who have signed up, you can feel free to add links to your PIFM shelves. Thanks to the people who have already done that!

The Pick It For Me Challenge is very simple.
1. You sign up.
2. You are assigned partners (I will organize this).
3. With your partner decide how many books you will each select for the other. Remember that this challenge will last for 2 months. If you want to challenge yourselves you can agree to select lots of books for each other!
4. You tell your partner what shelf to pick books from and provide a link to the shelf.
5. Pick a book/books for your partner and post them here for them to see.
5. Read the book(s) that your partner has picked for you and update this thread with the book, your rating, and maybe a sentence or two (or longer!) saying what you thought of it/them. (You can be ambitious and do a review too!)
e.g.
My name: Daniel
My partner: Sarah
The books picked for me:
Cinder (read 1/16/2015)- 4 stars. Intriguing premise, great characters, and a really cool retelling that was unfortunately plagued by predictability.
The Hunt (read 1/28/2015)- 4 stars. The Hunt had lots of suspense, admirable lead characters, and kept me scared and nervous.
I'd like to have as many people sign up as possible! You can all sign up below (preferably before January 9th so I can make partners)!
