So, seeing as the point system I tried this past month ended in complete disaster (I was the only one who participated. ^-^;;), I figured we'd go back to our previous method of choosing the third Book of the Month, and that's with a challenge!

Seeing as everyone loves You Pick, I Pick - and it generates a lot of interest, we'll have another one of these until I come up with something fun for next month.

The same rules apply, if you want to join post with 20 books you'd like to read. On the first of April, I'll pair everyone up and we'll choose 10 books for our partners to read!

Have fun!
