2023 Pick-It-For-Me Relay Msg #74
Picked by: Zeljka
Review: Very sweet story of another outspoken orphan girl taken in by unmarried siblings. I can't decide if I like Emily of New Moon better than Anne of Green Gables. But that's high praise coming from me.

Picked by: Pixiegirl105
Review: Thank you, Pixiegirl105, for the recommendation to read The Spirit Thief. It was mostly enjoyable though a bit slow in the middle, but now that the scene is set, I've got high hopes for the rest of the series. I love the characters and that is what I enjoy most in a series.

2024 Pick-It-For-Me Relay Msg #24
Picked by: Chaela
Review:
First half was slow and I would've DNFed except I don't DNF. The 2nd half was much more interesting and I enjoyed the end. This would've worked for a retelling. Rose's extreme non-confrontational behavior irked me. Rose's parents shocked and disturbed me. I didn't know what this was about and wasn't really in the mood, but the end was interesting. This book would actually be a good discussion book for a YA book club.

Review: Another great Murderbot story, but they are just too short. It was great to see the gang together again: Murderbot, Dr Mensah, Ratthi, Pin-Lee, and even Gurathin.

Renata: This relay seems to have died somewhat. There have been fewer participants and long stretches without a response. So, for now, the mods have decided to close this challenge. It was a fun ride!
Pony: I really wish you all wouldn't close it. Even if it doesn't get a lot of traction, I really enjoy having this challenge as an option for picking books. I was genuinely looking forward to having it here this new year. I think it's such a good idea.
Rowley: oh gutted i was also looking forward to this this year, though im still struggling through the last book picked for me
Tony: I also enjoy the Pick-It-For-Me-Relay. I enjoy the choices that are made for me. It's often a book I tend to overlook in my To-Read list and end up enjoying. I don't have any problems having to wait a little bit either. BTW, I am looking forward to reading Taya's pick for me, White Fang by Jack London . :)

Me: Just finished
and it was a good 4 star read.
I don't do much on this group except for this challenge, so I'm sad to see it go. But thank you for this challenge and picks while it lasted.
