What's a TBR Pick-It-For-Me Challenge?

Like the name implies, those who participate in this monthly challenge will have a book selected for them by a partner. Partners will be randomly paired up. You will choose a book for your partner from their to read list (TBR), and they will choose one for you from your TBR list.

Once you have picked the book, come back to this thread and post what book you have chose for your partner. Also send a message to the person with the name of the book you have selected for them. Then when you're done with your book, come back to this thread and post your opinion so we know you have completed the challenge.

For this challenge, you need to either HAVE YOUR PROFILE SET TO PUBLIC (preferable) or make the person you're paired with your friend. I strongly advise keeping your bookshelves updated, otherwise you might end up with a recommendation for something that you've already read.

Sign up period will remain open until May 28 and you'll have until June 1st to select a book for your partner.

***Please note***Everything will be done in this thread so check it often. Also, please be sure you really, really want to participate. Once I pair up people, it makes it difficult to re-pair when someone decides not to participate.

Patricia (velexa) | 31 comments Thank you so much Tammy! I will read them all! Thanks! Sometimes I just have a hard time picking which ones to read so you've been very helpful!

My pleasure. I'm so far behind I'm still reading Velveteen by Daniel Marks


message 28: by Patricia (new)

Patricia (velexa) | 31 comments I just barely finished Everneath (Everneath, #1) by Brodi Ashton yesterday.


Tammy ~Witching Hour Reads~ (03tammy-lynn) | 1434 comments What did you think of it?


message 30: by Patricia (new)

Patricia (velexa) | 31 comments I was a little torn. I'm not a fan of self sacrificing protagonists and lover's willing to self sacrifice too. I'm glad I read it but I don't think I'll be reading the next book.

How has Velveteen been? I added it to my list because it looked interesting.


Tammy ~Witching Hour Reads~ (03tammy-lynn) | 1434 comments It's actually really good, I'm enjoying the concept. I just took on too many reviews this month, and unfortunately a pleasure book gets pushed to the back burner.


message 32: by Tawallah (new)

Tawallah Carrie, thanks for the picks. For you there are three options to choose from:
The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking, #1) by Patrick Ness
All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
Legend (Legend, #1) by Marie Lu

Tawallah I finished my pick last night: And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie . I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm surprised I was able to give a review because I'm still processing this novel. Agatha Christie has struck again. I love it and highly recommend it. Thanks Carrie
