If you are willing to place one of your September reading choices in the hands of another person, leave a comment here with at least five books and no more than ten from your TBR shelf. Participants need to leave comments no later than August 245h.

Here's how it will work:
Sophia will match people up and leave a comment with a list of who will choose for whom.
When you see the person you are to pick for, then look at their list in the above comments and leave a new comment with their name and the book you chose for them by August 31st.

You also need to watch and see what book your person chose from your list for you.
You have the rest of the month to read the book.

So if this sounds like something you would like to do, just comment below leaving your name and list of book choices for someone to pick your September book.

Howdy, Christina!

I drew you and I'm picking Darcy's Melody by Jen Redlarczyk. I'm feeling musical. LOL


message 10: by Christina (new)

Christina Morland | 69 comments Hi, Janalyn! Oh, several of these look fascinating! But since I have to choose just one, how about The Mist of Her Memory? September is almost October, and October has Halloween, so a gothic suspense seems like just the thing!


message 11: by Christina (new)

Christina Morland | 69 comments Thanks, Sophia! I’m excited to start reading Darcy’s Melody. Today was a musical day for our family (my daughter auditioned for a youth orchestra and will be joining in the fall...yay!), so it’s the perfect pick! ;-)


message 12: by Kirk (new)

Kirk (goodreadscomkirkc) | 510 comments Hi Sophia!

While not the impossible list of several months ago,
still a very challenging list. At least 3/4 I'd pick but ...how can I not pick Thankful Hearts?


message 13: by Sophia (new)

Sophia (sophiarose) | 952 comments Mod
LOL, sorry to tax you like that, Kirk.

Thankful Hearts will be perfect for getting me in the fall mood.

My pick for you is Mr. Darcy of Longbourn. I'll be interested to hear what you think.

Sophia (sophiarose) | 952 comments Mod
Okay, confession time! I posted the wrong Holidays With Jane for the challenge. I meant to put the Halloween one. LOL
I hope you don't mind that I did my own switch and read the Halloween one, Kirk. :)

It was fun and cute. Loved the Marianne and Brandon story the best, but they were all pretty good.

Christina Morland | 69 comments Late as usual! Just wanted to say thanks again to Sophia for my September pick, Darcy’s Melody. Finished today. It had been on my list for a while, so thanks for the extra incentive to read it. Happy October to you all!
