DO NOT SIGN UP if:

1. Do not think you will remember to pick for your pair on time. It's a hassle for people to keep waiting for a pick.

2. If you do no plan to return and update your original post with both the books you picked and the books picked for you. Just please don't sign up.

Hey, Runell! I choose and for you, as I've especially loved the Throne of Glass series. As far as Fantasy recommendations, I have to recommend . It was my first introduction to the Dragonlance world, and Fantasy in general. While the book is part of a series within the world, it can be read as a standalone. I was so impressed with this book that I named my daughter after the heroine of the story! If you can't lay your hands on a copy of this, then I also recommend and .
