This makes me sad😞 if you change your mind...let us know😁🥰
Grey! I’m listening to your pick for Layne now Audible Arc❤️ My pick for you is Layne’s Book!https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Melinda, I'm picking
for you...I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Jean I can't help myself. Someday, Someday is my new all time fave and I know you'll love it. It's not "light" because it's ES, so if you prefer something lighter, let me know, I have a backup. But this book is everything!

Judy--I'm so sorry! I picked your book yesterday, typed it up, and forgot to hit "post." I've been doing a lot of that lately. Now I need to refresh my memory, of course. Brb...
Okay, Judy. Unbelievably, I haven't read a single book on your list, so I'm going to help you get an older series book with a really high rating off your list. And you loved the one before it, so I pick:
by Kelli Jean
Michele--You haven't read the entire Undeniable series?!!!OMG, Lucky you!! I LOVED Unbeautifully SO much (I think you can tell slightly from my review). I've loved the entire series and her last one (about Preacher) was just phenomenal!

Lurkers...first time newbies...anyone, feel free to join! Especially right now when we're all feeling the strain of too much time stuck at home under the COVID-19 quarantine.
This challenge has endured the test of time in our group because it is definitely the most fun! Feel free to participate each month, or when your schedule allows. We're not picky, we love seeing you when you can!
The How-to
1. Create a new shelf, or update an existing shelf on your Goodreads profile, that includes approximately 20 books that you would like to have someone else use to pick a book for you to read. Label it "Pick For Me." Only books from this designated shelf will be selected for this challenge, (no matter how badly some of us want to pick something else...hint hint, pick-happy moppets...*giggle*)!
2. Post in this thread that you want to participate this month. If you don't post here, I won't necessarily remember that you want in.
3. Provide the link to your Pick For Me shelf, (this will make it a bit easier for all parties involved... unless you all really *want* to read Harry Potter Fanfic. 🤣 *a new month, a new pick from me!*) This is really important, especially this month. I want to make sure that the link to everyone's shelves hasn't changed... check your link below and if it's good, you're good:) If you're having difficulty finding the link to your shelf, please let me know.
4. On August 1st, *cough,cough* someone...the hand of fate, maybe, *cough, cough* will use the randomizer to pair up everyone. (Or worst case scenario, I really will just do the old making of a list on a piece of paper and draw lines between everyone, and you *know* what that means, *shifty eyes* see above for my pick for the month, LOL!)
5. Friend your partner who is picking for you or set your profile to public or your partner will not be able to access your shelf.
6. Post your selection for your partner in this thread.
7. Come back after finishing the book selected for you by your partner (even if it's after the month has ended) and let everybody know what you think about it, or at least that you've finished...or DNF'd it (another book off your list is always a win in our book!)
**The sign up period will remain open until pairs are posted on August 1st and you'll have until August 4th to select a book for your partner or one of these other scavengers will swoop in and do it for you.**
