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.

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 August 28 and you'll have until September 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

I'm completely new to this group (about 2 hrs "old"), but I'd love to try this for September.

I'll be away on holiday for some time in September, though, but that shouldn't matter, should it? As long as I recommend a book and get my partner's pick before I leave? :-)

Welcome, Camilla. I think you will enjoy our group. Recommend a book for your partner then enjoy your holiday. You will even have a book you can read while on holiday. :)
