Riya Sign up in this thread. Put your name and a link to your to-read shelf. On the 1st of July everyone will be will be paired up randomly. Once you have your partner you choose a book for them from their shelf. Your partner will read this book, and you will read the book your partner chose for you. (if your account is private please remember to add your partner as your friend on Goodreads ASAP)

If you want, you may choose two books from your partner's to-read shelf, and they can try and read both or pick the one they prefer.

Rules:
1. If you sign up, you must pick a book for your partner. Otherwise the challenge is ruined for them!
2. If you do not want the book picked from your to-read shelf, please provide a link to the one you would rather choose.
3. We will not be adding people after the 1st.
4. Partners will be picked on the 1st of July. You should have your picks for your partner by the 3rd of July.
5. Have fun!

Diane U (djuseless) Count me in! I am trying to read more YA lately so it may be easier to pick from my Young Adult shelf to help narrow it down!

Read my chosen book, If I Stay!

I love Gayle Forman's writing. But I've read two books by her so far and I'm seriously getting tired of getting to the end of a book and feeling like she forgot to write the last three chapters of the book. -__-


message 27: by Riya (new)

Riya Haha nice Brittany! I'm glad you at least liked her writing :P
