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 January 28 and you'll have until February 1st to select a book for your partner.

***Please note***Everything will be done in this thread so check it often. Also, please be sure you really, really want to participate. Once I pair up people, it makes it difficult to re-pair when someone decides not to participate.

I have finished Unhinged (Splintered, #2) by A.G. Howard . I look forward to reading the next in the series. Thanks Tammy for the pick. I don't think I will be able to the other choices this month, but will read them soon.

Sandra | 51 comments I have finished Delirium and it was pretty good


message 45: by Dany (new)

Dany (damanai) Gloria - I finished Delirium and actually rather enjoyed it. Thanks for the great choice!


♪♫Gloria♫♪ | 52 comments No problem. I read the 2nd book and it was pretty good... If I hadn't have been reading Harry Potter I would've gone straight into the 3rd book.


♪♫Gloria♫♪ | 52 comments Dany, I finished Ruby Red tonight (cutting it a bit close, I know) and I gave it 4/5 stars. I really liked it and I want to continue reading the series. Thanks for the good pick!


message 48: by Dany (new)

Dany (damanai) No problem! I'm glad you liked it. I know when I read the series I flew through it in a weekend. They were fun to read.
