hi! no its okay. loved Locke Lamora. let me know what you pick for me. :)

I thought we picked for ourselves so you can choose whatever you like! I would suggest robin hobb assassin's apprentice if you are in the mood for epic fantasy.don't know if you have read it.if you have other suggestions for me tell me! :-)

I have read first Fitz trilogy. suggest something else. :)

right!! I pick The Fifth Season.

Great! So we have another pair established here :)
Sorry the rules weren't clear and had you confused.

So the pair creates a separate thread (link in message 35) - and discuss what they are going to pick from each other's shelves... You can opt to let your partner chose it for you.

Have fun guys. Happy reading :)

is it too late to join in?

Yeah it was for Jan. Though initial participation was more, many people didn't respond back after the pairings were announced.
Only 3 pairs actually responded and read out of 10.

May be this can be extended on a need basis. I will consider Lucinda into the copy cat signup. As soon as another member wants to opt in, will make the pair and you can start rolling.

Open to any other ideas as well......

Hello!could make it a two_month challenge I guess in case it's a matter of time

I'd say not restricting it with any timeline. Two months or even more should be okay as long as people enjoy and participate :)
