[⚜️XAR]

Thanks for everyone's patience! Pairs have been posted! Please let me know ASAP if there is a broken link or you don't have a partner!

Dami, you didn't put book covers for all your series listed, so I only had two series to choose from. I pick the Harry Potter series for you this month. Please make sure that you have book covers for all the series you list for the next time!

Theo, for you I pick Skulduggery Pleasant.
I'm not familiar with any of your series but I liked Skulduggery covers the best. They reminded me of Terry Pratchett's DEATH - one of my favorite fantasy characters.

Thanks, Chelle for picking Agatha Christie. It's time to solve a murder or two. :)

Enjoy :)
