THIS IS NOT A SWAP: nobody is buying anything. You provide a link to a list of TBR books. Your match chooses 4 from the list + 1 surprise book and makes a post with 3-5 words/phrases describing each book (eg: Classic sci-fi, Chunkster, Film adaptation = DUNE). You choose one based on the descriptions, and then they reveal the title.
Everyone reads their blind date book over Valentine‘s Day weekend (or anytime in February).
pickMasterpiece. A book about a man‘s life and not much more. Wow.
pickI learned a lot about social anxiety and selective mutism through this one. It‘s given me food for thought for myself and my kiddos. I appreciated that Mira‘s concerns with friends, speaking in front of class, and interacting with a younger sibling are pretty universal even with everything else she‘s dealing with.

pickPerfection! Elijah Wood performed an excellent narration of an indelible classic American novel. I wanted to re-read this before reading Percival Everett's James, and I've put it off long enough. Has anyone listened to James on audio? Any good? I recently started my annual “free trial“ of Audible 😜
