Joy, I picked:
I picked up "uncommon" on kindle daily deals the other day, and the other two I've added to my TBR as a result of picking for you...... treachery!
Jackie, for you I am picking “The Rider of the Ruby Hills” by Louis L’Amour. I read many of his books way back when I was reading Westerns.

Here are your 2 books. Enjoy!
and
Thanks, Jackie. The women’s basketball book is one that’s been on my TBR for too long!
Jennifer, I haven't read any of the books on your list, so I picked covers that would work for the monthly Colors Challenge:

I like your theme and these are excellent picks! Thank you.
Finished book 2 of 3 for October:Gallop Toward the Sun: Tecumseh and Harrison's Struggle for the Destiny of a Nation by Peter Stark - 4.5* - My Review

Completed #1 of 2 -
1923: The Mystery of Lot 212 and a Tour de France Obsession. The premise was great and when the author stuck to the Tour de France and the riders in his mysterious film footage it was great. But he went off on so many tangents on European history that it was an overall mess. Meh at best.

Finished book 3 of 3 for October:The Uncommon Life of Alfred Warner in Six Days by Juliet Conlin - 3* - My Review (one of the three storylines was 5 stars, the other two brought it down)
Thanks for the selections, Jennifer!

For anyone unfamiliar, this is a monthly challenge where you post a link to a shelf you created. It can be named "PIFM" or "Pick It For Me" etc, if you want one dedicated only to this challenge, or you can use an existing shelf you already have, as long as it has 100 or fewer books on it. The link must be to the specific shelf, or you will not be partnered.. Indicate how many books you would like to have picked for you from that shelf for the month in question. There is no lower limit as to how many books you can have on your shelf, but, of course, they should be books you are interested in reading during the next month and have ready access to.
On or about the 25th of each month, I will post who picks for whom. In order to accommodate an uneven number of participants, pairs will not be reciprocal -- in other words, it won't be Joanne picking for Jennifer and Jennifer picking for Joanne. It may be Joanne picks for Jennifer, Jennifer picks for Herman, and Herman picks for Suzanne, and someone else entirely picks for Joanne.
IF anyone has not been "picked for" by the 30th, I will pick for them if the designated picker can't be contacted by PM.
When you are assigned someone to pick for, note the number of books in parentheses after that person's name in the pick list, go to the link for their shelf, and pick that number of books for them. Post the books in a new message here. That person has the entire following month to read his/her picks. Someone will be picking for you the same way. We all like to see what people think about their picks, so we hope you will keep us posted in this thread!
Example: "In for five, please!
PIFM"
The HTML template for linking your shelf can be found HERE and if you have trouble, PM me and I will help you.
Your designated shelf must be set so that others can see it. To set up a PIFM shelf for those who would like to, go to the "MY BOOKS" link in the GOODREADS toolbar, scroll down below your shelves on the left until you see the "add shelf" button, and click that. Name it PIFM or Pick It For Me. Add books to it, and post the link to it in this challenge as described above. Again, if you need help, please don't hesitate to PM me!
If you are in for October, post your shelf and the number of picks you'd like to have below. See you on picking day!
October pairs
Lance picks one for Jackie
Jackie picks two for Lance
Jennifer picks three for Joy
Joy picks five for Jennifer
Desley and Denise, we'll see you in November!
