From kiwiria:

It's time to sign up for the May Edition of the Pick-For-Me Challenge. A bit early this month, but I wasn't sure that I'd have time tomorrow

From kiwiria: Will you let him know I'm his partner? My list is here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/168347-maria-m-elmvang?format=html&shelf=reading_bliss

For him I've chosen "Ultraviolet" as my first choice, because it focuses on synesthesia which I've always been HUGELY fascinated by - in no small part because I have a very mild case of it myself.

My second choice is "Battle Royale". It's hard reading, but an interesting book... even if I do think Hunger Games handles the topic better.

I think kiwiria has a great pick for you with Ultraviolet. It's a quirky read, and I loved the foreshadowing put into place. Of course, you could choose to read Battle Royale, and I could read your review of that and add it to my reading list.

Oops! I forgot to give you kiwiria's list for you to pick her books

I will relay. You may wish to friend kiwiria. She's an interesting person. She's from Denmark, reads prodigiously, and works in IT, if I remember correctly.

I am narrow minded. I confess. I want to find my own treasures. I have a pile'obooks on the shelf.
No offense..it is such a personal thing...like picking out underpants.
Both of which I need, at this time, to do on my own.
I am already regretting not being more adventurous.

I understand that. It's why we only choose books from that person's own to-read list. I enjoy having someone else pick my read, because I fully intend to read those books, but sometimes it's hard to get into the mood to read something difficult or potentially boring. This makes me!

Sounds like fun!, but with my eye condition, I have to stick to audio books I can find right now.

I'm so sorry!
