2024 December Pick It For Me Challenge

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

2024 December PIFM Challenge

What is the Pick-It-For-Me Challenge?

The Pick-It-For-Me Challenge (PIFM) is a reading challenge where each participant gives and receives book recommendations based on a given a set of rules. The assignment method and book selection rules change each month so it’s always new and always different.

The idea of the PIFM challenge is that you will get new-to-you books and authors selected for you as well as a push to read some books that have been lingering on your shelves. You may not be interested in the new books recommended, which is why you also get a minimum of four books from your shelf.

You only have to read ONE book to complete this challenge!

After signups are closed, your names and any extra info will go into the super secret PIFM randomizer and it will select someone for you to recommend books to and someone to give you recommendations. This list will be posted along with any specific picking rules for the month.

In order to participate you need to either HAVE YOUR PROFILE SET TO PUBLIC (preferable), or friend the person giving you recommendations. PLEASE NOTE: if you choose to keep your profile private, it is your responsibility to send a friend request to the person picking for you as soon as possible after the matchups are posted. Whether your profile is private or not, it is also very important that your profile be set to receive Private Messages (PMs) in case anyone needs to reach out to you (mods, organizer etc.)

Everything gets done in this thread so be sure to come back often!!!

Repicks:
You can ask for repicks if:
✱ The books picked for you are not yet released.
✱ If you have already read the chosen book(s) and they are on your ‘read’ shelf.
✱ If you did not receive four picks from your ‘to-read’ shelf, with at least one from your preferred shelf.

You may NOT ask for repicks because:
✱ A book is not available at your library.
✱ A genre or author you don’t enjoy.

INFORMATION NEEDED TO SIGN UP
Please sign up in this thread with the answer to the following question:

✱✱ December is such a busy time for so many people...what's it like for you? Crazy busy? Pretty much normal? Somewhere in between? ✱✱


✱✱ If you have a preferred shelf, please list it along with your pick! ✱✱

IMPORTANT DATES
Sign ups will remain open until November 23, 2 pm US EST
For your convenience a Time Zone Converter: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock....

You’ll have until November 29, 9 pm US EDT to make your recommendations.

Please do not start reading your book(s) until the first of the month. You then have the entire month to read your pick(s) and give some feedback.

If you’re new please read the PIFM Guidelines and FAQ. If you have any questions that are not addressed there, please feel free to ask!


✱Please note that late sign ups will be included at the host's discretion and no one will be included after re-picks are assigned!✱

TIPS TO MAKE THE CHALLENGE ENJOYABLE FOR EVERYONE!


Pickees
✱ To help your picker understand the type of books you like or are currently reading, please make sure your ‘read’ shelf is up to date. You can create shelves for books you DNFed (Did Not Finish) or authors that don’t work for you as well as favorite books and authors. In addition, you might consider updating your profile. You can include info about your favorite books, authors, genres, themes or tropes (or themes/tropes you dislike – i.e. secret baby).
✱ Please do not specify likes/dislikes in the sign-up thread. This information will not be included in the pairings and your pickee may not see your message and does not need to rely on that information when making picks.

Pickers
✱ Please remember this is primarily a romance readers group. Thus, most, if not all, of your picks should be romance. There are various sub genres within the romance category - Contemporary, Historical, Paranormal, Romantic Suspense, Erotica, M/M, Urban Fantasy. If your pickee reads a wide variety, you could add a non-romance as a choice.

✱ You will be using 8 picking rules to select books for you pickee. Choose at least 4 new titles for your pickee. These can be brand new to them (not found on any of their shelves) or a book found on their shelves if they've never read any of the author's work previously. The remaining 4 titles should come from your pickee's tbr, with a minimum of one from their preferred shelves if provided. Be sure to pick at least one book for each picking rule, but please limit your picks to no more than two books per rule as sometimes having too many options is worse than too few.

✱ Please remember when you are giving new recommendations, you are not limited to titles that you have read. You can choose books that are new releases, on your tbr, or titles you looked up on Goodreads or Amazon that you think your pickee would enjoy.

A few hints to help with book selection:
✱ Check the book’s publishing date. Select "date pub" from the checkbox selections and save.
✱ Check pickee's personalized shelves, especially their exclusive shelves. A personalized shelf is one the member has created. (e.g., 'to read next', 'favorites' ‘didn’t like’)
✱ Make sure the books you choose are not on their 'read' shelf. Just because it isn't rated doesn't mean it wasn't read.
✱ Look at your pickee's 'read' shelf and see what genres they have recently read or read the most. Reviewing their ‘read’ shelf might help you in choosing something they are interested in reading right now.
✱ If your pickee reads lots of books in a genre you are not familiar with (erotic romance, GLBT, YA, etc.) Contact the Mods or the month's organizer for guidance.
✱ Include a variety of books (e.g., shorter page count, new addition to their 'to-read' shelf, an older book on their 'to-read' shelf) This variety gives your pickee options when choosing the book or books they will be reading this month. Use the sort feature within their shelves to determine date a book was added, published or read; page numbers, ratings, etc.

If you want to volunteer to make repicks:
✱ We love that you want to help out, but please remember those who need picks have been waiting for a long time already. Please only volunteer if you are able to make the repicks within a few hours of the deadline. Thank you!

2024 December – Picking Rules

This time of year is busy and/or stressful for so many people, so I decided to make the picking rules for December super simple. All of the tasks are basically the same, just with different color/number/letter options. For the color option, the color listed doesn't necessarily need to be the MAIN color on the cover, but it should be easily noticeable without having to search for it. For the letter option, articles (a, an, the) may be used or not, and you may switch back and forth for different tasks. Enjoy!

1. Recommend a book with Red on the cover, or with the number 1 in the page count or publication date, or with a title or author's first or last name that starts with S.

2. Recommend a book with Orange on the cover, or with the number 2 in the page count or publication date, or with a title or author's first or last name that starts with P.

3. Recommend a book with Yellow on the cover, or with the number 3 in the page count or publication date, or with a title or author's first or last name that starts with C.

4. Recommend a book with Green on the cover, or with the number 4 in the page count or publication date, or with a title or author's first or last name that starts with D.

5. Recommend a book with Blue on the cover, or with the number 5 in the page count or publication date, or with a title or author's first or last name that starts with M.

6. Recommend a book with Purple/Violet on the cover, or with the number 6 in the page count or publication date, or with a title or author's first or last name that starts with A.

7. Recommend a book with Black on the cover, or with the number 7 in the page count or publication date, or with a title or author's first or last name that starts with T.

8. Recommend a book with White on the cover, or with the number 8 in the page count or publication date, or with a title or author's first or last name that starts with W.

Please read through and follow the tips in Post #1 to help insure you choose books your pickee will be excited to read.

Have fun, everyone!

I'm in! Somewhere in-between. LOL

Meet & Greet

[Sonja]

I'm in please and doing a terrible job of reading this month! I can't even find time for an audiobook! :( I'll get one at least, promise! :)

Holidays are always busy with the holiday activities and school events then travel for Christmas. I love it though!
Please use my PIFM shelf - that is sadly not going down at all!

[Fran, Moderator]

I’m in! (private profile, happy to friend whoever picks for me)

Crazy busy!

I haven’t been able to read much at all lately, and I’ve been recommended so many great titles. I’m hoping to be able to settle into reading again very soon!

PIFM shelf- (like Sonja’s, not going down at all!)

Me please! December is typically crazy busy and I don't see that changing this year...

Please use my to-read-asap shelf - thanks!

[Nancy H]

I'm in and crazy busy. I also have not had a lot of reading time recently, so I'm suffering reading withdrawal pangs! Maybe in January.....

[HeatherMarie]

Busy. Feeling a bit bah-humbug. Hopefully that will improve. A good shelf:0-pifm

[Carina]

Somewhere in between.

[Hazel]

Crazy busy which is pretty much normal.
This year is worse as my son has exams starting on 2 Dec and has study school on a Saturday for the next few weeks and needs mums taxi. I hope to get at least one book read and the others will be added to my list to read.

[Kirsty]

Never done this, but I think I understand 🫣 I would like to join please x

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

Hey everyone! I've posted the signups to this point in msg #3. Please check the links to your shelves if you have one to be sure I have it right.

Carmen, your signup post said Meet & Greet for your shelf, but it linked to your 2024-picks shelf...if you will let me know which one is correct, I'll remove the other one.

Thanks!

[Jamie]

I'm in Open series

My December is pretty much the same, being crazy just like every other month.

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

My family is generally pretty low-key for the holidays so December isn't usually much different from other months, but this year I'm working in retail, so I have a feeling it might get a little crazy!

My shelf: cant-wait-to-read

SUPER LATE but I'm in as well!

You just barely made it! 😃 Since your profile is private I wasn't able to post your preferred shelf, and you'll need to either open your profile or send a friend request to the person picking for you so they can have access. I hope you enjoy the challenge!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Jamie! I will try to work on your picks this evening. 🤞🏼

It’s public now!! TYSM 💗

rea wrote: "It’s public now!! TYSM 💗"

Perfect! I didn't bother adding your shelf to the list since the To Read shelf is the default. It's only if you create a separate shelf with books you would especially like people to choose from that it needs to be listed. Have fun!

[HeatherMarie]

Hi Hazel!
Went full skittles with your picks (taste the rainbow). Tried to keep them kinda mystery, fantasy, thriller-ish for ya. Hope you find something good to read!

Hi KarenH,
I am certainly not trying to be picky, but should #8 picking rule say #8 for page number. etc? If not, that's ok.

[Nancy H]

Hi KarenH,
I am certainly not trying to be picky, but for rule#8, is it to be #8 in the page count, etc. also? If not, that's ok.
