HOB Partner Pick December 2021 (Pick It For Me)
Participants: D.L.
Donna
Elinaly
Elizabeth
Jenny
June
Melindam
Namita
Stephanie
I don't have on going challenges. I will edit this post to include a shelf to pick from.Just pick from my want to read shelf
This is a really good idea. I have quite a number of challenges that need finishing so this will be helpful. Is this what you had in mind?Genres preferred: Romance, mystery, classics, YA/children's.
Length preferred: Under 300 pages -if possible- since I need to finish the books quickly (time is running short!)
Looking for the following:
-- A book with a title that starts with "J"
-- A book with a title that starts with "X"
-- A book with the word "Together" somewhere in the title
-- A standalone book with a title that starts with "N"
Thank you!
D.L. that is exactly what I was talking about!
I would like to sign up for December.I´m new member of this group, so I don´t have (yet) any ongoing or unfinished challenges.

Hey Jenny,
Here are my picks for you:
(just went on my to-read shelf :) )
(it may come in handy for page points in Wheel 6)
and
Happy Reading! :)
June, you have a bunch of good choices there. I chose three that I loved, all first books in a series. 
Enjoy!
Thanks Melindam! I have to pop off to the bookstore to buy a couple of those, so you just gave me another reason to go to the bookstore. Yay!
Ah, OK then. :)I was tempted to pick The Amazing Maurice by Terry P, but I remembered that DW books are supposed to be your Xmas presents. ;)
I am impressed that you remembered that! Now we will find out if anyone in my family does. teehee
Namita- I'm to pick for you but you have your account set for private.

(title)Mistletoe -
(from a synopsis: "...Mae must figure out how to break free of the strange time loop—and finally get her true love under the mistletoe...")Gosh, its so much easier just to pick from the given TBR shelf :D

Elizabeth if you can’t see the book shelf to pick from, you can always add the person as a friend.

So most of us signed up for challenges at the beginning of the year saying that we will read certain books. You know the ones: The Alphabet Challenge, The Colors of the Rainbow Challenge, Numbers Challenges, Objects, Themes, Seasons, ect. Now it's the end of the year and you are struggling to find a book to read that fits into whatever challenge you need to finish.
So start a thread, list what you need help with, and list what type of books you usually read. Your partner will be tasked with attempting to find a book you may like that has what you need, even it's not on your TBR.
If you don't have any open challenges that you need help with or just want your partner to pick a book from your shelf, we can do that as well. just post the shelf as you normally would.
Since you will need more time to get a list together for this month's challenge, I opened sign ups early and I will be posting partners early as well, that way they have time to find you a good book.
I will assign partners November 21st. Please have your picks posted no later than December 4th.
