Pick For Me Challenge - November 2017
I'm in too (even though I still have to read Throne of Glass from October's Pick For Me....which I think I am starting next)!! Too many books!!
Yep I'm in. I dnf'ed last month's, but at least it's off my tbr now. I might go and tidy up my list for November :D
Kooloo, its a fun challenge! We all get really excited over it. We each get one person we pick for and one person that picks for us. Fabi does the pairings with some randomizer computer thing. I got to update my list.
Yay!!
It is easy, we will walk you through it cuz you are one of our tribe now. If you haven't figured it out bt tomorrow I will post some instructions
Omg Kooloo, everyone is going too want you as their pick! You have so many great books on your list that I know we've all read!
I KNOW RIGHT!!!! I read like a book a day and work six days a week... folks are gonna be like what the fuck has she been reading all the 5 Stars are in her to-be-read list!
Oh yes Kooloo. Some very cool books on your list. Lots I haven't read though as well. Glad you've joined our challenge. Picking day is so much fun!
Oooooh Kooloo - that is a great list. I already know what I'm gonna pick for you if you become my pickee. Yayayayayayay....fresh meat!!!

Where the heck is Grey??? She picked a book for me in October which wasn't on my list!???!?!??!? (I think she picked from her list)!
See how excited we get about the Pick For Me challenge, Kooloo? Like, we're already all picking for you, and it isn't even November. We're helpful that way!!
I think I am having a book anxiety attack. I am stressing myself out over a bunch of challenges I committed to for 2017 and I don't feel like I can finish them. (NOT this challenge, I love this) Its making me feel like I'm back in school with a required reading list. I don't want to read old books in my TBR I want to read new shinies.
That's it! I am totally revamping my "pick for me" list. Other challenges be damned!!!
Fabi will usually do the picks on November 1st unless someone bugs her to do it earlier....*cough cough, Ela*Then, you have the whole month to read it!
Well technically Fabi usually will be good to us and post something the day before the first (in the US) because it's technically the 1st in Australia... And then there are days we can't find Fabi any where!
I just have to say one more time - like I don't say it every month - this is the BEST challenge ever. The excitement of picking for someone and having someone pick for you....I can hardly wait until the 1st each month!

It's that time again.
1. Create a new shelf or update your existing shelf on your bookshelf that includes approximately 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 Pick For Me 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 October 31st and you'll have until November 5th to select a book for your partner.
