Awesome! Thanks Ang! Do you prefer PNR and/or Erotica for this challenge as well?


message 52: by Gigi (new)

Gigi | 1149 comments Also, as a reminder please don't forget to let me know which genre you're most interested in reading for this pick it for me challenge. Thanks.

Can i do both??

Gigi | 1149 comments Thanks Ang! Sure, no need to stick to just one genre- its just a pairing technique for me. Since you like both PNR and Erotica and would prefer to read them for this months pick. I'll make sure your partner reads a lot of PNR and Erotica as well.

If you decide that you want to try a genre thats new to you instead, let me know and I'll make the change.

Annvelwis | 671 comments I'm in :D
1. Probably paranormal romance and urban fantasy, I read a lot of young adult, too

2. what's above and historical romance, romantic suspense, contemporary romance and chick lit. If someone would like to recommend a nice suspence or mystery novel - I won't be dissapinted :D I don't mind erotica as long as there's a plot in the book.

Dee (austhokie) | 7316 comments hye Gigi!

What I read most is probably erotic romance (to include M/M)

What I would like to read more of Paranormal/ YA

Gigi | 1149 comments Great! Thanks everyone!

I've revised my questions a little to be more specific.

Hi! I'm pairing people up for the pick it for me challenge. I've decided to pair people by genre. So, you are going to receive a PM from me with the following 2 questions. You can either respond in this thread or respond to the PM.

1. Which genre or romance sub-genre (Historical Romance,Paranormal romance, Erotica, etc.) do you read most often or would you consider yourself well-versed in?

2. Which genre or romance sub-genre are you most interested in reading (could be a genre or sub-genre completely new to you that you've wanted to try or one you presently enjoy)?

The final pairing list will contain your name with the genre or sub-genre you'd prefer to read for this challenge. The genre or sub-genre listed next to your partners name is merely a suggestion for their 8 recs, not the rule.

Thanks for your help with this.
Gigi : )

Books recommendation does not have to be romance, it can be any genre/author/book you want to recommend to your partner.

Rossy (naughtybookjunkie) | 2192 comments Big Welcome to members trying this challenge for the first time! Please take a look at my first 2 posts for a guideline on this challenge. You can also take a look at this thread here, where you can find step by step instructions on message #25: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/2...

Did i miss anybody by mistake?


message 79: by Heather B (new)

Heather B (heatherbenson) Questions:

1. I read just about anything, but I think I've probably read young adult books the most so far.

2. I'm up for anything, but something summery would be nice or a book that is similar to how Nicholas Sparks writes his books.

Nairabell | 433 comments I'm in, if it's not too late :)

1. Well versed in PNR, UF and YA.
2. Most interested in PNR or UF this month


message 99: by Gigi (new)

Gigi | 1149 comments Thanks everyone for your answers to the questions. My idea for pairing this month is to match people who read a certain genre or sub-genre with those who are interesting in trying that particular genre but have no idea where to begin or who just want to read a certain genre for the month of July. And if you have no preference, that works too. So, all of your answers have been very helpful.

The rules of the challenge haven't changed. We're still picking 4 tbrs and 4 new books. I'm hoping the genres will just serve as a guide or as a suggestion, not necessarily as a rule about what you have to pick for that person.

Thanks everyone for all of your cooperation with this.
