I’m in for 2. Thanks for the reminder Jennifer. Where did October GO? https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

because the thought of 50 perfect snapshots to encapsulate the lore of baseball is very intriguing. But since we're in football season, I also am picking
.Enjoy!
Seeing a lot of books in the middle of a series, I wasn’t sure what to pick for you, Jennifer. Although there were two NF I am adding to my TBR: Top of the Rock: Inside the Rise and Fall of Must See TV
and Shadow: Five Presidents and the Legacy of Watergate
. The other three will be Death of a Gigolo
, Midnight Haul
and Unmasked: My Life Solving America's Cold Cases

Finished book 2 of 3 for November. This is a baseball classic. I'm assuming you've already read it, Lance?
Good Enough to Dream by Roger Kahn - 4* - My Review
Finished book 3 of 3 for November. The first half is fabulous:

Forgot to mention here that I completed my first book of the two selected - Why We Love Baseball: A History in 50 Moments. Listened to the audio version - it was great! My review: http://sportsbookguy.blogspot.com/202...

Actually, no I haven’t. I’m not much of a Roger Kahn fan, so I didn’t know about it. But if you gave it 4 stars, sounds like I need to check it out.

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 November, post your shelf and the number of picks you'd like to have below. See you on picking day!
November pairs:
Jennifer picks 2 for Lance
Joy picks 2 for Denise
Lance picks 5 for Jennifer
Jackie picks 3 for Joy
Denise picks 1 for Jackie
