You all voted and decided on the lovely new name. HOB Partner Pick, formerly known as Pick It For Me.

Not sure what your next read is going to be? Don’t worry that’s why this challenge is here. Someone else picks for you and all you have to do is read it.For November we will be choosing a reading level.

Level 1= 1 book

Level 2= 2 books

Level 3= 3 books.

To sign up choose your level and link your shelf. I will assign partners by the 24th. Have fun.
You have til the 1st to choose books for your partner, if you don’t choose by then, l’ll choose for that person on the 2nd.

~ Anabella

D.L. Hi Lisa I pick for you:

Boyfriend Material (Boyfriend Material, #1) by Alexis Hall All Around the Town by Mary Higgins Clark

Boyfriend Material looks cute & I've actually read All Around the Town. It was very good and kind of creepy too. Ideal for the autumn season!

Hi D.L.

I pick for you The Kitchen God's Wife by Amy Tan and The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett

I have read The Joy Luck Club by Amy rTan and loved it. And The Maltese Falcon is a classic mystery, so it's worth a try. :)

Elinaly Level 1 Picks For June Level 3( June's Shelf-https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...✓)..."


Dear June,
I picked for you the following:

Everfair by Nisi Shawl * Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé * Miracle Creek by Angie Kim

Everfair sound so intriguing and I added it to my TBR list, but the average rating is low, so I wonder how you will rate it;
Ace of Spades is just a random pick (authors family name catched my attention - I don´t think I could pronounce it);
Miracle Creek I have read and wanted later compare what you think about the book.

So I hope you find enough diversity and I would really love to hear your thoughts after reading them! :)

LOL Jenny dear, Anabella is in charge this month. You will have to ask her. This is her show not mine. I have handed over the reins.

message 40: by Tawallah (new)

Tawallah | 166 comments Hi Jesa,
Here is my pick for you
The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air, #1) by Holly Black

I recently heard that this is more political intrigue and less romance. Hope you enjoy it.

Hi Donna,

Thank you for picking this book for me. It went very well for the "family dinner" theme. :)
Also it was a kindle freebie and a short, light one. These were the merits of the book.
Otherwise not much to write home about. I gave it 2 stars.
