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 another participant. Participants will be randomly paired up into picker/pickee pairs. The picker will choose a book for the pickee from their to read list (TBR).

Once you have picked the book come back to this thread and post what you have picked 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 April 30 (9 pm Central) and you'll have until May 5th 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

For Buddy
I was debating between Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer and Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, #1) by Jeaniene Frost . I love the movie Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer but I haven't read the book yet. I loved Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, #1) by Jeaniene Frost . I have read the series. I will pick Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, #1) by Jeaniene Frost . I hope you like it as much as I did.
