I play in this sometimes on a Goodreads forum, there is a monthly "Pick it for me" game, where you have a prepped list for your partner to chose from, you sign up, and then the administrator randomly pairs people up, and they pick a book from their partner's list for them and post it in the same thread so everyone gets the fun of seeing what books are chosen. There's no pressure to actually read it, if you decide you don't want to, but if you're looking for a read and can't decide between them, put them on the list! Then when people finish the book, they can report in and say what they thought, but again, no pressure, the fun is just in the looking at each others books and picking one. I think it would be another fun game for us that wouldn't cause us to owe books to anyone as we're only reading our own, and only if we want to! I know we had a relay that was similar I think, but to me doing it as a big group is more fun.

Would anyone be interested in this? I'd be happy to run it and see what you think. I wasn't sure where to post it to see if anyone was interested, so please move it if you think it would be better. If it takes off, we could make it's own section. I think it's a lot of fun, and again, no pressure to read and report in, although that's fun if you do!

is it similar to how sometimes one of us will post here asking, which one should I read next? Just that this one is a bigger group?

Not a bad idea to help shrinking our TBR!

I love this idea!

I'm definitely in, I think it would be loads of fun.

Exactly, you have a shelf, or a post, prepped with what you want your partner to choose from. so a goodreads shelf, or even in your post to sign up, or your bookcrossing shelf, wherever you want your partner to choose from. I'm sure it will evolve over time if we get it going!

Nice idea!!

I'm in!

I'll join!

I like this idea!

I'm in! Anything to lessen the TBR shelves!

I like the idea of assigning a partner for the month and then regrouping for the next month. It's certainly worth trying for a month or two. Count me in.
