I would like to swap one of the two books below for the following reasons:

- The Nun (Diderot): I read this at least twice, once in college more than 30 years ago and another time around 2010, a few years before I joined this group on Shelfari. Not keen to read this once more.
- The Floating Opera (Barth): I read it in July/August 2019 during my exile from our group, so there is no review existing for this book. You can check the date stamps in My Books for proof.

I should be able to get Felicia's Journey easily. Different story for The Forbidden Realm, but I might find a way to source this in French later during the year.

Hey Book Worm, you must have overlooked my updates last month, I would like (please) to get 2 new randomised books, having completed Felicia's Journey and Cause for Alarm.

Thanks Book. I have already read The Book of Evidence, in fact this was one of the first BOTM I have read with the group back in 2012 on Shelfari. In the migration I have lost the review, but I do recall that I didn't like it and developed a hatred against the unreliable narrator of the story. I will try to source Miramar in French.
