Yes you're well on time :)

@Gorab: I don't think Austin has signed for PIFM. He has just posted a comment but not signed up. Can you please check & revert/pair me up with another?
Mod
Hi Albert!I pick The Midnight Library and The Golden Compass for you.
You can read any one or both. I enjoyed both of them. Let me know what do you think once you complete reading.
Happy Reading :)
Gorab wrote: "Sorry, my bad. Have corrected it."I only commented. I didn't sign up as I am yet to read the book that was picked for me last time, some 3 months back. I think many others are doing the same as well, not reading the book assigned to them. Defeats the purpose of this game :-( That's why I decided not to join till I read my assigned book, which it seems is not happening any time soon. :-(
P.S. : I didn't notice that I was paired with Nathan. :-0

Your profile needs to be public in order to access your shelves. Right now it is private. Either that or you add me as a friend.

Since you said you are in a slump, I picked entertaining fictions I enjoyed and read during my slumps. Hope you get back your reading grove with this. :)
@Shashank Hi there! I pick 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' and 'The Power of Your Subconscious Mind for you. I choose the former because I loved it so much and the latter because I heard many posting that this book changed their lives and made a good impact on them. So here you go!Happy reading:)

For you, I pick the The Time Traveller's Wife"
Visalakshi wrote: "I'm in!
Here's my cute little list"
Hey Visalakshi!
Thank you for picking this for me.. I've been meaning to read it but didn't find enough motivation.. I will do now! Thanks!
I pick Dark Matter for you... someone picked it for me in one of our older PIFM and I really enjoyed it.. I hope you like it too.. If you need another one, you could also read Flowers for Algernon.. This was a very sad yet interesting read for me.. Enjoy!
@Gorab my partner Kaarkuzhali is yet to respond to my post. She has her profile as private.
