*minimum 5 books.
2) CHOOSE TURTLE (one book) or HARE (two books) to indicate your reading speed so your picker will know whether to choose one book or two books.
3) An assigned person will pick ONE or TWO BOOKS (depending on the indicated reading speed) from your shelf.
4) BONUS BOOK: Specify "another book from my shelf" OR Pick a Genre and the assigned person will pick a book from the GOODREADS Choice Award book list for that specific genre.

5) You have one month: JANUARY 2024 to try to read the chosen books. (*if you don't read your book(s) this month, it's okay because this challenge is for YOUR ENJOYMENT)

Trina, I'm not familiar with any of your books or authors, so I went with the ones that sounded most intriguing to me. I see they're all first in series, so it looks like you're ready to start something new for the new year.
The bonus book is one of the few that we share in our lists. I read this one years ago and liked it a lot.
