Hi China. You need to pick one of the five books the person above you has listed. That person reads the book you pick for them. Then you list five books you are interested in reading and the next person to post will pick one for you from that list of five. You'll read what they pick. That person will then list five for the next person to choose from, and so on. It's fun!
