The time has come to choose your book selections for your March 2017 read in the PIFM challenge.
The rules are:-
* You can choose any number of books. A minimum of two and up to a maximum of 10.
* Please, only ONE MESSAGE per member. That means NO REPLYING or CHATTING in this thread.
* Once you have made your selections and posted, when your votes start to come in you can then add your votes cast by other members beneath your book titles ie. the following might be how my list would look:-
Little Black Lies - Sharon Bolton
x 1 - Christine
Pretty Girls - Karin Slaughter
x 1 - Brenda
x 1 - Perri
How you post is your choice, you can link, do pictures, the above is just an example. The key is that you stick with the one message and update it as the votes come in. Your list can be placed when the March threads go up.
PLEASE NOTE:
PIFM is meant to be FUN and not to be taken seriously. I would appreciate it if all participants just chilled and not get worked up about voting, who votes, who doesn't, etc. Please bear in mind that some will just want to vote, many don't come on everyday and most of us have time constraints. I just want a relaxed approach to it all and for you all to just enjoy the process! I'd really appreciate your courtesy in this matter. Thanks.
