So, I had planned a fun reading challenge for November, but due to graduate school and mid-terms, I was unable to work on it, so we'll have to wait until December. Until then, we'll have another "You Pick, I Pick" challenge.

Just like last month, if you want to participate, post with your name and TWENTY books you'd like to read. The person who reads the most books chosen by their partner will be able to choose a Book of the Month for December.

I'm opening the challenge for participants today and it will remain open until Monday, November 4th. That same day, I'll post the partners for this challenge and you'll be able to post the list you'd like your partner to read.

Feel free to sign up now! =D

I'll start us off!

I like this challenge :D

They are fun, aren't they? ^.^

Yeah, and it's a great way of motivating me to actually read the books that I've been taking forever to get to!

Brittany, if The Curse Keepers gets chosen for our picks, we need to Buddy Read! I was one of the winners, too! ^.^

I loved this challenge so much I'm in again!

My picks are:

Hi Douglas! If you're wanting to participate, you need to put down 20 books you want to read. Once I partner everyone up, you'll be able to choose for your partner. :)

We need at least one more participate to make it even guys! Sign up, cause its the last day to!

Okay, I'm going to go ahead and close entries and name the partners for this challenge so that we can all have our lists by the time the challenge officially starts tomorrow.

Anyone who wishes to join after this can, but you will have to wait until I or another mod makes a list for you.

So, without further ado, here are the partners:

Joi and Brittany (Me)
Kat and Miriam
Devon and Kyra
Turtlefrog and Brittany
Cassie and Shrishti

Be sure to post your partners list of 12 books today or early tomorrow so we can all get started on the 4th!

I got Cinder and FanGirl. They are both pretty thick, but I should be able to finish them in a week or two.

Cinder's awesome! And though it's pretty thick, it's a fairly fast paced book and I imagine you'll be able to finish it pretty quickly.

I've been wanting to read Fangirl, but it's not at our library. =(
