Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments 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.

message 25: by Tessa (new)

Tessa | 1761 comments Grey wrote: "Has anyone heard from Nay? I'm worried...😢"

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


message 26: by Leslie (new)

Leslie | 2430 comments 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.


message 27: by Tessa (new)

Tessa | 1761 comments Good point. I hope that is going good, and she's just not checking in since she's with her mom.

Jean | 1658 comments Has anyone tried private messaging her?

message 32: by Tessa (new)

Tessa | 1761 comments *narrows eyes* What? You thought you could have a life? PFFT!


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments 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.

Pairs posted in Msg 1

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. :-/


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments 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'. :-)


message 36: by Tessa (new)

Tessa | 1761 comments 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!


message 38: by Jean (new)

Jean | 1658 comments Tessa, I'm thinking evil! Lol!


message 39: by Jean (new)

Jean | 1658 comments 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. :-/


message 41: by Tessa (new)

Tessa | 1761 comments 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


message 42: by Jean (new)

Jean | 1658 comments That was really, really evil Tessa! And now you have me curious about Seth and Aiden! Ok, ok, I accept your challenge!


message 43: by Tessa (new)

Tessa | 1761 comments 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. :)


message 44: by Jan (new)

Jan (jan130) 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*


message 45: by Jan (new)

Jan (jan130) 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 Andromeda (Andromeda #1) by Amy Bartelloni . Hope you flove it!


message 46: by Paula (new)

Paula White | 800 comments 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...


message 47: by Paula (new)

Paula White | 800 comments OK Jan - it was a toss up between two and I have gone for Driven (Driven, #1) by K. Bromberg


message 48: by Jan (new)

Jan (jan130) 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???


message 49: by Paula (new)

Paula White | 800 comments It was Forget by N.A. Alcorn - loved this and the sequel


message 50: by Jan (new)

Jan (jan130) Oh yeh. I'll get to that eventually :)
