Please post your shelves. NO COMMENTS in this thread please. You can add discussion comments after pairs are posted.
How It Works:
1) Please post up to 10 books that you would like to read this month.
*minimum 5 books.
2) CHOOSE TURTLE (one book) or HARE (two books) to indicate your reading speed so your picker will know whether to choose one book or two books.
3) An assigned person will pick ONE or TWO BOOKS (depending on the indicated reading speed) from your shelf.
4) BONUS BOOK: Specify "another book from my shelf" OR Pick a Genre and the assigned person will pick a book from the GOODREADS Choice Award book list for that specific genre.
CATEGORIES: Fiction, Historical Fiction, Mystery & Thriller, Romance, Romantasy, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Horror, Young Adult Fantasy, Young Adult Fiction, Debut Novel, Nonfiction, Memoir & Autobiography, History & Biography, Humor
5) You have one month: DECEMBER 2024 to try to read the chosen books. (*if you don't read your book(s) this month, it's okay because this challenge is for YOUR ENJOYMENT)
5) Please try to select for your pair ASAP as we all get excited and waiting is torture to some.
