Book Worm, could you please replace Quartet in Autumn as I have read it already and don't want to suffer again?

Looks like I will also need to swap Margot and the Angels, as there are no English nor French translations available, only available in Flemish/Dutch.

As all the unread choices have a minimum 500 pages and I have already read The Stone Diaries, I will use my remaining swap on the Diaries then.

I hate the randomizer! I get another 500+ pages book which is impossible to find in Australia and seems only to be available through Amazon UK... I doubt I will read again off this list this year, unless I really run out of group books to read (in which case I would probably read The Regent's Wife, which I own).

Sometimes the randomiser does seem to pick on people.

If you want to risk another roll you can use 5 participation points...
