Hey guys! Assuming that the post "Pick it for me- August 2021" has entirely skipped the moderator's mind, I suggest we decide the pairs among ourselves with mutual agreement?
I agree.i was wondering about it. go ahead Arpit and make the pairs please.

:)
I guess, people can pick a person for themselves. If the latter agrees; no foul done.
no, that will be chaos. spinning the wheel or pulling chits is best.
there are 15 of us. we can pair 1st with last 2nd with second last and so forth ..
Or we can pair up the consecutive odd and even message# together like 2&4, 3&5, and so on.

Hey Jaskirat 😊
Your's is a huge TBR list, thus took some time, but here are my suggestions:
- This Is How You Lose the Time War (in my TBR too)
- The Midnight Library (one of the best books I have ever read)
- The Forgotten Few; The Indian Air Force's Contribution in the Second World War
- Midnight's Borders: A People's History of Modern India
The last 2 were based on your TBR, where I saw a lot ofIndian history related books.
You may read any of them. Enjoy 😁
