Riya Sign up in this thread. Put your name and a link to your to-read shelf. On the 5th of August 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 5th.
4. Partners will be picked on the 5th of August. You should have your picks for your partner by the 8th of August.
5. Have fun!

message 29: by [deleted user] (new)

My partner has picked for me yet, but I know its not the eighth just yet so I can wait.


message 30: by Riya (new)

Riya Maybe try sending her a quick message in case they forgot about this challenge!


message 31: by Kathy (last edited Aug 06, 2014 06:37PM) (new)

Kathy | 905 comments For Arielle I pick:

Princess for Hire Princess for Hire (Princess for Hire, #1) by Lindsey Leavitt

or

Nobody But Us Nobody But Us by Kristin Halbrook

I really enjoyed both of these! Princess for Hire is a very cute, lighthearted read whereas Nobody But Us has more of a melancholy or urgent feel to it. I wasn't quite sure what you were in the mood for, so I tried to choose two very different books!


message 32: by Arielle (new)

Arielle Vanessa (ariellexvanessa) | 6 comments For Kathy I pick: Paper Towns or A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

I've read both and I really enjoyed both. I tried to pick two books that were pretty different. I hope you enjoy whichever you chose. =]


message 33: by Arielle (new)

Arielle Vanessa (ariellexvanessa) | 6 comments Thanks Kathy! I'm going to try and read both but if I only get to one, I'll read Nobody But Us.
