Sorry to do that to you again, Jennifer. And…I will have to ask you to pick one more, please. I just finished”Inside the Cartel” as it was picked for me last month so I just removed it. I’ll double check the shelf, so it should be clean when you read this.

Okay…looking for “Sorry not sorry”? Ha ha ha
Hi Denise: as one who likes biographies and memoirs, I am interested to see what you think of this one: Being Henry: The Fonz . . . and Beyond. Enjoy!

Looks like a great batch! Thanks, Jelena!
Finished book 1 of 5 for November and it's really a special book. I can easily see it being adapted to a film or miniseries. The only reason it's not 5 stars is that it's over 700 pages and I think would have been even better if it had been trimmed down a bit:
The Wayfinder by Adam Johnson - 4* - My Review

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 19th of each month, I will post the next month's challenge.
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 that person wishes to have picked, 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, post your shelf and the number of picks you'd like to have below. See you on picking day!

Vikki picks 5 for Jennifer
