Jeanne, I read your email about internet problems. You did not come back to post books before the deadline so I could not include you in the pairings.

Sharon missed the deadline also (msg 27). If your internet problems have been fixed, you might send her a private message and see if the two of you want to post series and pick for each other. If so, you are welcome to post your choices and selections in this thread.
