*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.

ETA 09-08-24: Finished The Taken Ones and LOVED it. I think I am going to save Meredith, Alone because I just realized it's the only book that fits an upcoming prompt for another challenge, but I can't read it just yet. That leaves Purple House, which I hope to get to after my latest round of library books. :)
ETA 09-22-24: Unfortunately, The Only Purple House in Town was a DNF. I found it sloppily written and rushed.

Danielle, I pick for you
because I like that series and would have never found it if it weren't for you,
because it sounds too cool and my husband's Norwegian, and for a bonus because that sounds wild.
Enjoy!
