Let a Friend Pick Your Next Read

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.

To sign up, post a comment with a link to your To-Be-Read list (be it on Goodreads, in a blog post, a google document... whatever! as long as it's publicly available). On April 20th I will close the sign-ups and assign a buddy for everybody.

Each person has until April 25th to pick 2 books (main choice + backup) from their buddy's TBR-list that they want them to read for the month of May.

End of May we'll return and talk about the books we've read.

I hope you'll want to play along! :-)

OK, I think I will give 'Ultraviolet' a spin (Battle Royale is a pretty thick read, if I remember correctly).

My pick for kiwiria is "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks." It's a non-fiction book I've been meaning to read for some time. It deals with a lot of thorny ethical issues that modern science has to deal with. I would be curious to hear her opinion.

Second pick would be 'Xenocide', the third Ender's Game book, another book I've meant to get around to for ages.

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.
