What's a TBR Pick-It-For-Me Challenge?

Like the name implies, those who participate in this monthly challenge will have a book selected for them by a partner. Partners will be randomly paired up. You will choose a book for your partner from their to read list (TBR), and they will choose one for you from your TBR list.

Once you have picked the book, come back to this thread and post what book you have chose for your partner. Also send a message to the person with the name of the book you have selected for them. Then when you're done with your book, come back to this thread and post your opinion so we know you have completed the challenge.

For this challenge, you need to either HAVE YOUR PROFILE SET TO PUBLIC (preferable) or make the person you're paired with your friend. I strongly advise keeping your bookshelves updated, otherwise you might end up with a recommendation for something that you've already read.

Sign up period will remain open until March 28th and you'll have until April 1st to make a selection for your partner.

I have multiple shelves with the word "owned" in them, so any of them would be fair game, but there isn't any one specific shelf that I can link to unfortunately.

Tammy ~Witching Hour Reads~ (03tammy-lynn) | 1434 comments Sorry Saha, I was admitted to the hospital and woke up in the ICU last week, I’m still here but finally able to make some sense. Thank you for my great picks, sadly I’m not up to a buddy read just now, I will more than likely read the graphic novel as it’s less concentration on my part at the moment.
I’m glad Leigh was able to picked some great reads for you.

I will pick from your to read fantasy owned shelf I have picked A Darker Shade of Magic (Shades of Magic, #1) by V.E. Schwab , Murder of Crows (The Others, #2) by Anne Bishop or The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman .

From your to read random fun and owned I have picked A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens , Look Who's Back by Timur Vermes or Kingston Raine and the Grim Reaper (Kingston Raine, #1) by Jackson Lear

I hope you enjoy one of theses picks.
