I need to skip July. I still haven't started June's book!
I’m going to skip this month. Happy reading, Ladies!
I’ve never officially skipped since joining although I’ve definitely missed reading the book that’s been chosen for me before 🤦🏼♀️. But I am skipping this month. I’ve got a reread planned of The Simple Wild series & between those three books, wrapping up my first draft of my current WIP, & finishing up my June pick (I’m at 65% & loving it, btw), I know I won’t be able to squeeze in anything else. I’ll be back in August!

T, I was not familiar with any of the titles on your list, so I read synopses and reviews and have settled on
. Fingers crossed that you super duper love it!!!
Lisa, out of all people, I thought you would have read something on my list. Like me, you tend to read a lot more women's fic mixed among everything else. I've only read one book on your list (Surprise! A women's fic story,) but that's not what I'm picking. I'm going with a book that I also want to read. I really enjoyed the first book, Grayson, but it's been forever since I've read it.
by Lisa EugeneOh, and thanks for the pick!! I'm really curious about it.
Judy, I picking Shay Stahl’s Sex, Love & Marriage for you. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

Ooooo, thanks for the pick. I adored Grayson and can't wait to dive in. I hadn't even realized there was a book 2, but as soon as I saw it, I had to have it!

Good to know!!! Glad you liked it.
4 stars from me for
I lurve Grayson Whitmore!! The only reason this didn't get the full 5 from me is because I didn't care of the "why" behind what happened. Minor detail - I still love this couple to tiny bits and pieces!!
Grey! I just finished my book and I loved it! Thank You for picking it for me 😊

Yay, Lisa, I'm happy you enjoyed it. I was thinking about reading book one for fun before starting the sequel.
I enjoyed my book pick, too. It started out a little bit rocky in the first few chapters, but it quickly picked up and I loved the ending.
3.75 Stars.

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 some random fan-fiction hole I've recently stumbled down. *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 July 3rd, *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 3rd of the month and you'll have until 6th to select a book for your partner or one of these other scavengers will swoop in and do it for you.**
