Layne, for you I choose
/I'm still mad at this book, but it was amazing. If for some reason you don't feel like a heartbreaker right now, I'll be more than happy to pick a backup for you. Just let me know.
Hope you enjoy!!!

Oh man, will it crush me and leave me in tears? I want to read it, but if you think it might destroy me, maybe I should have a back up just in case. ;)

I found it to be pretty intense...but then again, I love having my heart handed to me. For a backup, I'll suggest
. Yes, her books are very emotional too, but you know that in end "Love Wins".

I loved this book...even though there are parts I didn't love. Excellent writing!

Thank you, T! Hopefully I can read something this month. I didn't read (or listen to) a single book in October.

Tissues and booze Michele...😉 One of the best I've read this year!
Did you see my earlier post? I was just wondering if you'd mind picking a different book for me...sorry, I thought I had that one in my library but I don't 😏 could you pick one of these...I just got 8 books from the library!
(I got all 3 books!)

How is that possible, Renee?! Now days, if I’m doing stuff around the house, I have an audiobook on. I think I might go in withdrawals, if I couldn’t be taken out of this world right now. Metaphorically speaking. 😁

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. Or too much political drama? Or maybe Nano-November? Or...No-Shave November? LOL!
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 The Siren. *a new month, a new pick from me!*) Check the links listed below to make sure the one I have listed for you is current...if so, just give me a thumbs up! If not...please update me :) If you're having difficulty finding the link to your shelf, please let me know.
4. On November 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 the 1st of the month and you'll have until 4th to select a book for your partner or one of these other scavengers will swoop in and do it for you.**
