On The Same Page discussion

Hi, everyone!

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 September, post your shelf and the number of picks you'd like to have below. See you on picking day!

Jackie, I remember liking so that's your pick!

Denise,
My choice for you is one I've read and enjoyed:
(and also seems fitting for an October/Halloween read)

Joy,

I'm a sucker for books about rain.

I like the summary on this one.

This was a 4-star read for me.

Happy reading!

Thanks, Jackie!

Sorry Jennifer I was out of town for work. Here are my picks for you:

Worth the wait, Denise! And RMB is my author pick for "six author" over at CCC so good timing!

Finished Book 1 of 3 for October and loved it!

Take Me with You by Catherine Ryan Hyde - 4.5* - My Review

Finished book 2 of 3 for October - this was a dud for me - not sure why I put it on my TBR initially:

Fifty Words for Rain by Asha Lemmie - 2* - My Review

So you could have the pleasure of ditching it later.

Finished book 3 of 3 for October and enjoyed it:

The Strange Journey of Alice Pendelbury by Marc Levy - 3.5* - My Review
