Layne, you have an amazing list to pick from. I was hoping to pick something a little lighter for you since you mentioned you have had a tough time with reading lately. But.... I couldn't find one to fit the bill that I knew much about. I finally settled on

I LOVE that book!!!

Grey, I hope better days are ahead!
T., I haven’t ready anything on your list, but there’s one book that I have been dying to read so that’s what I’m picking.
I’m so anxious to hear your thoughts!

Marissa! I'm going with Wild at Heart! I can't believe you haven't devoured it yet!
I’ve really been slacking, Robin, but I’m so excited to read Wild at Heart. I’m going to reread The Simple Wild first. You can’t ever have too much of The Yeti!

Layne wrote: "Lisa wrote: "Layne, you have an amazing list to pick from. I was hoping to pick something a little lighter for you since you mentioned you have had a tough time with reading lately. But.... I could..."Thanks, Layne. Now I just have to decide if I want to simply read it or relinquish an Audible credit. Julia Whelan can make a decent read even better. Decisions.

Wow, Diann, you choices are limited and on top of that, I haven't read a single one. I'm going with The Year We Fell Down by Sarina Bowen. I've wanted to try this series, but my success with NA is iffy at best. Hopefully, this will be a good one.
by Sarina Bowen

Lurkers...first time newbies...anyone, feel free to join!
Especially right now, when life is sort of resuming again, and some of us are still hiding in the blankie fort in perpetuity.
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 Tryst Six Venom. *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 June 10th, *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 10th of the month and you'll have until 14th to select a book for your partner or one of these other scavengers will swoop in and do it for you.**
