Pick for Me Challenge!!!

It's that time again. Sign-ups are open. Let's start off the 3rd quarter of 2017 with a bang. Who wants to play?

1. Create a new shelf or update your existing shelf on your bookshelf that includes approximtely 20 books that you would like to have someone use to pick a book for you to read. Books will only be selected from the shelf you choose.

2. Post in this thread that you want to participate and provide a link to you mini monthly gang bang shelf. If you played last month, I have your link. If you skipped a month or are new to the challenge, please post a link to your shelf.

3. On the last day of the month I’ll use the randomizer to pair up everyone.

4. Friend your partner who is picking for you or set your profile to public or your partner will not be able to access your shelf.

5. Post your selection for your partner in this thread.

6. Come back after finishing the book selected for you by your partner (even if it's after the month has ended) and let everybody know what you think about it.

Sign up period will remain open until pairs are posted on August 31st and you'll have until September 5th to select a book for your partner.

I'm in....same shelf, but I might add to it just a bit!

I already added to mine Jean. :-)

I am in and will be "tweaking" my shelf until the deadline. 😁

I'm in again too. I've been hopelessly bad at finishing my challenge books so far, but I've just about finished my August book now (The Butterfly Project ) picked by Melinda, and I feel so proud of myself! Lol. So, yes, I'm in for September. But I think I will have to tweak my shelf too.

Damn Fabi, you've got this looking all professional and shit! LOL! I'm in!!!

I'm in. I loved Fabi. Might reduce my tbr

No, I have been thinking same thing. I think Robin has her email. Robin?? Maybe you can email her for us??

I texted Robin asking her if she heard....

Ela, it's 1 hour before the 1st of September in Australia.

SEE! FABI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE LONG OVER DUE!

lol *hugs Ela*

*hugs Tessa right back* FABI WHERE ARE YOU??????????

Grey wrote: "Has anyone heard from Nay? I'm worried...😢"

She lives in TN so unless she was visiting TX, she should be okay. :)

Tessa, it isnt the hurricane that worries me about Nay....her mom was really sick and of course the stress of that isn't good for her own health. Its been weeks since she has checked in, so something is def up.

Good point. I hope that is going good, and she's just not checking in since she's with her mom.

Has anyone tried private messaging her?

Robin emailed her and has not heard back.

*taps foot impatiently*

Fabi???

I'm late! I am so SO SO sorry. I'll be posting pairs within the hour. *crosses fingers*

*narrows eyes* What? You thought you could have a life? PFFT!

Alright, hopefully I've got this right. Please let me know if I missed anyone or if you find any errors in links or anything.

LOL Tessa!!! Actually, I've been all over town looking for gasoline. No luck. Between a shortage and a panicked run on gas stations, there's none to be had around here.

Guess I'm working from home tomorrow. It's too far to walk. :-/

Amy, I started out looking at five of yours. I have it narrowed down to 2. But now I'm stuck. I'm going to have to 'deliberate'. :-)

Jean, do you want me to be sweet or kind of evil?

Serious, no gas? In TEXAS? People are panicking. Hopefully the panic will subside and you'll be able to get your car filled up soon!

Tessa, I'm thinking evil! Lol!

Paula, you have 6 of my all-time favorites on your list! Sh!t!

I hope so. Distances are to long to walk around here. :-/

I almost feel guilty. BUT! It is still one of my favorite books even if it had me sobbing uncontrollably. The thing is, sweet is one of my favorite too. BUT! You said evil!

Brightside by Kim Holden

Please be sure to pick up your required blankie fort, borrow manny, and honesty, have tons of tissues ready.

PS, if you had said sweet, it would have been Half-Blood by Jennifer L Armentrout. As I said, one of my absolute favorite. When you finally read it, you can meet my other book husband in it, Seth. :) Don't take Aiden, though, or Amy will harm you! :P

That was really, really evil Tessa! And now you have me curious about Seth and Aiden! Ok, ok, I accept your challenge!

lol See why I almost feel guilty. I mean, I'm not, but I almost feel like being guilty. I'm tempted to change it back, but! Maybe now that you are intrigued, you'll read the other.

Either that, or Amy will have you read it. That's her book husband. :)

Hey, I come home from work and the pairs are up! Yay!! I guess all you guys in the states are snug in bed at the moment. Anyways, I'll do my pick for you Fabi my dear. I've picked for you before, so we'll see what we can find this time. *rubs hands together happily*

Hmmm Fabi. I'm only familiar with a few of those authors, and haven't read any of the actual books LOL. The list is intriguing, though. Sooooo, I pick Andromeda . Hope you flove it!

Tessa - that was evil! (But oh so good)
Jean has me scared....
Jan- looking now, there are quite a few good ones on your list, oh what to choose...

OK Jan - it was a toss up between two and I have gone for

Ha. Thank you Paula. It's been on my tbr for quite a while. Hope I like it. Out of curiosity, what was the other one you were considering???

It was - loved this and the sequel

Oh yeh. I'll get to that eventually :)
