Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

2025 November PIFM Challenge

What is the Pick-It-For-Me Challenge?

The Pick-It-For-Me Challenge (PIFM) is a reading challenge where each participant gives and receives book recommendations based on a given a set of rules. The assignment method and book selection rules change each month so it’s always new and always different.

The idea of the PIFM challenge is that you will get new-to-you books and authors selected for you as well as a push to read some books that have been lingering on your shelves. You may not be interested in the new books recommended, which is why you also get a minimum of four books from your shelf.

You only have to read ONE book to complete this challenge!

After signups are closed, your names and any extra info will go into the super secret PIFM randomizer and it will select someone for you to recommend books to and someone to give you recommendations. This list will be posted along with any specific picking rules for the month.

In order to participate you need to either HAVE YOUR PROFILE SET TO PUBLIC (preferable), or friend the person giving you recommendations. PLEASE NOTE: if you choose to keep your profile private, it is your responsibility to send a friend request to the person picking for you as soon as possible after the matchups are posted. Whether your profile is private or not, it is also very important that your profile be set to receive Private Messages (PMs) in case anyone needs to reach out to you (mods, organizer etc.)

Everything gets done in this thread so be sure to come back often!!!

Repicks:
You can ask for repicks if:
✱ The books picked for you are not yet released.
✱ If you have already read the chosen book(s) and they are on your ‘read’ shelf.
✱ If you did not receive four picks from your ‘to-read’ shelf, with at least one from your preferred shelf.

You may NOT ask for repicks because:
✱ A book is not available at your library.
✱ A genre or author you don’t enjoy.

INFORMATION NEEDED TO SIGN UP

Sorting Question-
If you needed a quick meal, would you choose McDonald’s, Burger King or Wendy’s?

✱✱ If you have a preferred shelf, please list it along with your pick! ✱✱

IMPORTANT DATES
Sign ups will remain open until October 24, 5pm US EST)

You’ll have until October 29th, 5 pm US EST) to make your recommendations.


Please do not start reading your book(s) until the first of the month. You then have the entire month to read your pick(s) and give some feedback.

If you’re new please read the PIFM Guidelines and FAQ . If you have any questions that are not addressed there, please feel free to ask!


✱Please note that late sign ups will be included at the host's discretion and no one will be included after re-picks are assigned!✱

TIPS TO MAKE THE CHALLENGE ENJOYABLE FOR EVERYONE!


Pickees
✱ To help your picker understand the type of books you like or are currently reading, please make sure your ‘read’ shelf is up to date. You can create shelves for books you DNFed (Did Not Finish) or authors that don’t work for you as well as favorite books and authors. In addition, you might consider updating your profile. You can include info about your favorite books, authors, genres, themes or tropes (or themes/tropes you dislike – i.e. secret baby).
✱ Please do not specify likes/dislikes in the sign-up thread. This information will not be included in the pairings and your pickee may not see your message and does not need to rely on that information when making picks.

Pickers
✱ Please remember this is primarily a romance readers group. Thus, most, if not all, of your picks should be romance. There are various sub genres within the romance category - Contemporary, Historical, Paranormal, Romantic Suspense, Erotica, M/M, Urban Fantasy. If your pickee reads a wide variety, you could add a non-romance as a choice.

✱ You will be using 8 picking rules to select books for you pickee. Choose at least 4 new titles for your pickee. These can be brand new to them (not found on any of their shelves) or a book found on their shelves if they've never read any of the author's work previously. The remaining 4 titles should come from your pickee's tbr, with a minimum of one from their preferred shelves if provided. Be sure to pick at least one book for each picking rule, but please limit your picks to no more than two books per rule as sometimes having too many options is worse than too few.

✱ Please remember when you are giving new recommendations, you are not limited to titles that you have read. You can choose books that are new releases, on your tbr, or titles you looked up on Goodreads or Amazon that you think your pickee would enjoy.

A few hints to help with book selection:
✱ Check the book’s publishing date. Select "date pub" from the checkbox selections and save.
✱ Check pickee's personalized shelves, especially their exclusive shelves. A personalized shelf is one the member has created. (e.g., 'to read next', 'favorites' ‘didn’t like’)
✱ Make sure the books you choose are not on their 'read' shelf. Just because it isn't rated doesn't mean it wasn't read.
✱ Look at your pickee's 'read' shelf and see what genres they have recently read or read the most. Reviewing their ‘read’ shelf might help you in choosing something they are interested in reading right now.
✱ If your pickee reads lots of books in a genre you are not familiar with (erotic romance, GLBT, YA, etc.) Contact the Mods or the month's organizer for guidance.
✱ Include a variety of books (e.g., shorter page count, new addition to their 'to-read' shelf, an older book on their 'to-read' shelf) This variety gives your pickee options when choosing the book or books they will be reading this month. Use the sort feature within their shelves to determine date a book was added, published or read; page numbers, ratings, etc.

If you want to volunteer to make repicks:
✱ We love that you want to help out, but please remember those who need picks have been waiting for a long time already. Please only volunteer if you are able to make the repicks within a few hours of the deadline. Thank you!

**You do not need to include a preferred shelf if you would like to use your tbr shelf.

If you have a preferred shelf, PLEASE include the link with it when you post it in this thread. It really helps the hosts when listing the participants and pairings. Thank you!!

Remember to pick a minimum of four NEW books and four from your pickee's TBR or preferred shelf. Please limit your picks to no more than two new to your pickee and two from their preferred shelf (or TBR) for each rule, since sometimes too many choices can be as bad as too few!

Nov 16th is Fast Food Day. According to one poll, here are the top 8 fast food places in the U.S.

Please recommend one book for each fast food task below-

* 2. Starbucks - a book with water on the cover or a fantasy or paranormal book (in honor of their mermaid symbol) or a book with green on the cover

* 5. Wendy’s- a book with a child in the story or a book you would want to read on a chilly day by the fire (in honor of their best item- chili!)

* 6. Dunkin’ Donuts- a book with an athlete or sport of some kind in the story or a book you can read quickly - under 200 pages

* 7. Chipotle Mexican Grill- a book set in or published in a warm month or a spicy book (your interpretation)

*

Whew I didn't miss it! Thanks for hosting Fran!

I'm in and I'd go Wendys!
Please use my PIFMshelf, which will be updated by the 24th. And no need to pick a lot, I"m reading really slowly with all of life getting in the way!

Well, if I'm going to be honest - I would choose In-n-Out or Panera over any off the list. If I had to choose off the list - Burger King for the burger and McDonalds for the fries and iced tea. I don't even know where a Wendy's is locally... 🤔

Please use my to-read-asap shelf - thanks!

Thought I missed it as well. Im in!
None, my stomach doesn't do well with fast food. If anything Burger King for a hot coffee.

1-romance

We are definitely a "Maccas" family over Burger King (which is called Hungry Jack's here & we don't have Wendy's).

to read shelf

I wouldn't choose any of them, lol. Culver's would be the go-to here.

I'm in. Here's my shelf - open series

Thanks for hosting Fran. Id prefer to go to Taco Bell (I know...I know...but the mango tea) or Panera first, but out of those options I'd go to McDonald's for a sweet tea and fries to hold me over. Feel free to use my want to read shelf ( https://www.goodreads.com/review/list... )

Good point, MKat! I'd take In n' Out over all the above, even Wendy's, but out of the three, I don't get Wendy's often since we don't have them near us and I love their salads and fries and of course frosties!

I’m in. Wendy’s for Frosty with some mixins.

Use https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Welcome everyone!

I'm in

I like Burger King. Not only is the whopper my favorite, but they have the vegatarian option

november-pfm

I’d pick Wendy’s...please use tbr-audios

I pick Burger King because I like their burgers better, and it's the closest one to my house.

As I don't really eat any of it, I'll go with Wendys because I once worked there in my 20s


https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

I'm BK all the way!
Here's my shelf - it is empty right now. I should have it filled by the sign-up deadline but if not, please ping me with a reminder!!

Love these picks, Nancy! Can't wait to read some of these.

Jamie wrote: "Hi Fran! Here are my picks for you. Hope you find something good to read!..."

Thanks so much for the great picks Jamie!

Hey Carina. Below are the picks for you, I hope you enjoy them!

1. McDonalds
New: Ice Planet Barbarians <-This series starts out a little dark, but after the crash in the beginning of the book it does a 180. It is refreshing that the second set of aliens do NOT have the typical cavemen mentality but rather put women up on pedestals. This series had me smiling and laughing the entire time; each book in the series follows a different couple and is a perfect palate cleanser in my opinion.
TBR: Raiders of the Lost Heart <- Couple has smirks/smiles on their faces in the cover


2. Starbucks
New: The Wolf King <- Paranormal Fantasy
TBR: Of Flame and Fury <- Fantasy


3. Chic-Fil-A
New: Red Queen <- Authors last name, book cover
TBR: When in Rome <- Author's last name


4. Taco Bell
New: Red Rising < - This book had me locked me
TBR: Forged in Desire <- Never read but hopefully that title holds true


5. Wendys
New: Sea Swept <- Little boy in the story
TBR: Rocky Mountain Daddy <- kid on the cover, I dont think they mean the other daddy


6. Dunkin Donuts
New: He's Not My Type <- hockey romance - Meghan Quinn made me realize i actually like some sports romance books
TBR: Trick or Truce <- 186 pages


7. Chipotle
New: A Soul to Keep <- Its supposed to have a cinnamon roll monster with great world building and lots of spice. Its my next book to read before this starts so Im hoping that is true, otherwise my apologies..
TBR: The Slow Burn <- seems like it would be a spicy book


8. Burger King
New: The Awakening <- My roman empire series. Was it expertly written, no. Did it suck me in and mix with my soul, yes, yes it did. I highly recommend listening to this on audio (if you get stuck on grammatical issues this will help bypass that as well as the audio just brings the story to life). 300+
TBR: Romancing the Duke <- has royalty


Happy Reading!

Question. I read the FAQ link and have a few follow-up questions. Sorry, it's my first pick it challenge. Is it one book in each category we are supposed to read? Or one a week? Or one total?

Does it matter which category we pick first? Or do we do certain categories a certain week of the month?

Thanks

Hi Amanda - just letting you know I will be working on picks tonight for you.
