Hi Patrick -- I've already read Gone with the Wind (although it's weird that it is first on the list because it randomly came into my head last night when I couldn't sleep). I have The Monk on my TBR list, but I really want to read it! Can I swap for a different title on my TBR list and keep it on the random?

For Gone with the Wind, I will accept a swap as it appears in your Read list. The new book has been added.

For The Monk, here is what you should do: 1- the rules of TBR state that you can swap books on/off your list in June; 2- if the number for The Monk has not come up before June, maybe you can swap it out and read it as a randomized read instead.
