NEW TWIST is your picker can choose to pick two series for you instead of one. This is because sometimes people read one book and decide they really didn't enjoy the series after all.
Option B gives you the chance to read One Book from Two series, instead of two books form one series.

It is the Picker's option!!

**PLEASE POST YOUR PICKS IN BOTH A NEW POST AND YOUR OWN BOOKSHELF POST
