Mod
Mod
-- I like both her series and if you're doing any spell-outs, it's an "O" author.
Denise, I am selecting for you:
(I read this last year and enjoyed it very much)
(I have this one on my TBR on look forward to seeing what you think of it)
Mod
Joy, I haven't heard of any of your authors or books, so going with ones I like the look of!

Tell Me Lies
The Running Girls
Off the Deep End
Here are your three, Desley. I have the first two buried somewhere that I’ll try if and when I tire of sports non-fiction (or when I need a break).
Jennifer here are my picks for you....

Thanks Lance, glad you've picked a Lucinda Berry, I read one of hers earlier this year and struggled with it, so wanted to know if it was just that book, or her style.

Mod
Finished
, gave it 4 stars. I enjoyed it very much. Thought it could be a little longer as it kind of just was rushed to the ending.
Mod
Finished my first, The Running Girls, gave it 3* just because of the ending, however I did enjoy it enough that I'd read others by him (just as well, turns out I bought the first in a series by him back in 2016!)
Finished book 3 of 3 for June:
The Enchanted by Rene Denfeld - 4* - My Review
Thanks for the selections, Desley! I enjoyed them all.
Glad you've enjoyed them all Joy
Thanks for the picks Lance, enjoyed all of them - really enjoy Teresa Driscoll, and would happily read more by Matt Brolly (good job seeing as it turns out I bought one a couple of years ago!), I enjoyed this Lucinda Berry book more than the last one, but didn't enjoy the ending. I don't know why I only asked for 3 though, I've already red these and an extra one this month!
Just finished
and absolutely loved it. Thanks for good picks this month Joy!
My pleasure, Denise. Glad you enjoyed them!
I finished this one and the second book is waiting for me at the library. Thanks, Jennifer.

For anyone unfamiliar, this is a monthly challenge where you post a link to a shelf you created. It can be named "PIFM" or "Pick It For Me" etc, if you want one dedicated only to this challenge, or you can use an existing shelf you already have, as long as it has 100 or fewer books on it. The link must be to the specific shelf, or you will not be partnered.. Indicate how many books you would like to have picked for you from that shelf for the month in question. There is no lower limit as to how many books you can have on your shelf, but, of course, they should be books you are interested in reading during the next month and have ready access to.
On or about the 25th of each month, I will post who picks for whom. In order to accommodate an uneven number of participants, pairs will not be reciprocal -- in other words, it won't be Joanne picking for Jennifer and Jennifer picking for Joanne. It may be Joanne picks for Jennifer, Jennifer picks for Herman, and Herman picks for Suzanne, and someone else entirely picks for Joanne.
IF anyone has not been "picked for" by the 30th, I will pick for them if the designated picker can't be contacted by PM.
When you are assigned someone to pick for, note the number of books in parentheses after that person's name in the pick list, go to the link for their shelf, and pick that number of books for them. Post the books in a new message here. That person has the entire following month to read his/her picks. Someone will be picking for you the same way. We all like to see what people think about their picks, so we hope you will keep us posted in this thread!
Example: "In for five, please!
PIFM"
The HTML template for linking your shelf can be found HERE and if you have trouble, PM me and I will help you.
Your designated shelf must be set so that others can see it. To set up a PIFM shelf for those who would like to, go to the "MY BOOKS" link in the GOODREADS toolbar, scroll down below your shelves on the left until you see the "add shelf" button, and click that. Name it PIFM or Pick It For Me. Add books to it, and post the link to it in this challenge as described above. Again, if you need help, please don't hesitate to PM me!
If you are in for June, post your shelf and the number of picks you'd like to have below. See you on picking day!
June pairs:
Jennifer picks 1 for Jackie
Joy picks 2 for Denise
Lance picks 3 for Desley
Desley picks 3 for Joy
Jackie picks 3 for Lance
Denise picks 5 for Jennifer
