August 2023 Reading Challenge - hosted by bibliomania_express

A book chosen by someone else
Sometimes there's just too many books to choose one. What do you do? Don't choose! Have someone else make the tough decision. This can mean taking the first recommendation you come across on social media, having a friend choose from your shelves, or even having a pet select from a group of books.
