I'm in.

Added both of you to the list!

Thanks! Sucks we need to wait a really long time to get books XD

Sorry~ xD There's only about 25 people in the group. So I wanted to give people time to sign up and invite others. :3

Haha yeah fair enough.

Can I actually give an additional shelf that my person can choose form? So that they could pick from either of the two?

If so please include this shelf under me as well :)

I have been! lol I know at least one of them joined the group :)

EDIT: Just sent out a few more today. 2 of the people I had already invited have joined the group. Hopefully some of the ones I invited today will as well :)

woo!

Pairings will be announced tonight and in a separate thread which will be linked back here.
This thread will be the official signups.
There will be a new CMR thread each month. Completed books should be posted in that month's CMR thread.
You may complete CMR's at later months if you fall behind. I'll keep all the threads open. They will count as half points if completed in a month other than the one assigned.
I'll add these details to the higher posts when I get a chance.

New shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

I'd like to participate for next round ! Here's my shelf :
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

I will add you both to next month's list :)

Yay more people :D

I think so :)

Decided to make one shelf just for this, you can take the other two off and whoever has me can pick from just this shelf:

When will the November pairings be announced ?

Hey guys, we're going to be skipping CMR for November.
Life got in the way. I will announce the December pairings in the first week of November though. :)

Oh no why? I can arrange pairings if you want? Shouldn't take too long!

Or if this time of year will be too busy I would be ok with the pairings being for both December and November if that’s ok with everyone else (also willing to help with making pairings and organizing stuff if needed)

:)

Yeah that works :) But Amanda's just saying this month is too busy, and she could do next month, so she only needs help for this one.

If you guys want to do November pairings you're welcome to work it out yourselves. :) I can make you a thread. (just count me out for this month)

Alright. Just depends on Nikki because I'm pretty busy as well.

I don't mind making the pairings. I can work on it tonight :)

Are you okay to do that?

I'm fine with making the pairings if everyone else is. I was thinking the following:

Nikki picks for Megan
Maddison picks for Clémence
Megan picks for Maggie
Clémence picks for Nikki
Maggie picks for Maddison

Does this look ok to everyone?

Sure does :D No idea where everyone else has gone though XD Maybe you and I just pick for each other, as everyone else is gone?

Well I know most of the others who are signed up asked about it recently so I was thinking of giving it 24 hours to let us know they are still in for November and after that I could redo the parings to adjust for anyone not still interested but if you are ready to go I can do it this way :)

Nikki picks for Maddison
Maddison picks for Clémence
Megan picks for Maggie
Clémence picks for Nikki
Maggie picks for Megan

I'll take a look at your shelf and message you your pairings in a sec and then when Amanda gets the thread up I can post it in there since she said she would make the thread.
