Debbie: I just want to let you know that, due to the hurricane coming today, we're likely to loose power. I should be able to make the recs within the time frame.Just wanted to let whoever I'm picking for that I will come thru-just bit later.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

I'll be late as well as I have back to back meetings over the next two days - my first opportunity to look at the picker/ees will be Tuesday evening which is probably sometime very late Monday or early Tuesday for most of you...

[Hey There Delilah!!]

[Natalie]

I'm in :) Can't wait. Find out what I'm to read on my Birthday
2nd September :)

[D.G.]

I'm also in the path of the storm so please be patient if I don't post my recs as quick as usual. :)

[Autumn]

Thank you Tania.xxx

DG: Be safe! xxxx

[D.G.]

You too, Autumn! Hopefully we don't lose power. :)

[Fran, Moderator]

we lost power. trying to do this from my kindle. i will try to get my picks up as soon as i can. sorry to whoever will be my partner. i will try my best to do them timely. hope everyone in this storms path is safe. crazy windy and rainy here on long island in ny.

[Caroline]

Thinking of you all who are affected by Irene, hope you stay safe x x

[Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim)]

Surely it is time by now.

[Debbie]

Everyone stay safe - always the first priority

In just over 12 hrs I will cram all these names into the handy-dandy PIFM random generator (hope I don't break it) and shortly after I will post the pick guidelines and the match up list - how exciting with such a large group it may be tough to find your name, but all the links seem to work.
- We do have several 'same name' participants, but I think I was able to find last names or nicknames for all of them so watch for that. I will keep the sign up number by everyone too so hopefully that will help.

[Debbie]

lol, sorry Photojim, 10 PM :)

[Penney]

I will try to post tonight although that will be a bit late my time. I'll be traveling a good portion of the day tomorrow and inspecting property damage. So I likely will not be able to post till tuesday. My apologies in advance to my partner :-)

[Debbie]

I will try to be quick about posting the matches.

[Bookwormgirl]

Sign me up.

[Samantha]

can't wait

NOOOOO! It can't be! (are you sure?) Eight more hours?

[Dee]

yeah 8 more hours jim!! I think she is enjoying torturing us!!

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

Gee, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but isn't it 9 hours??? I don't want you to have false expectations, after all! ;)

[Dee]

ohh crap...karen that is just mean!!!

[Samantha]

ok so what will be happening now?

[Dee]

at 10pm (Central) sign-ups will close; debbie will do the pairs and then the next thing you need to do is figure out who you are picking for and provide recommendations in this thread for them and your partner will do the same thing - there are normally 8 or so picks per person, so a good range to choose from...on the 1st you can start reading your picked book(s) - then when you are done come back here and let us know what you thought

[Samantha]

ok

[Patrid]

I'd like to try this too!

[Kami]

oooh oooh is it time yet? Do we have a count down clock?

[Dee]

here is the EST count-down:

LMAO!! I love it!

[Nairabell]

Awesome counter, but 5 hours? That'd make it 3am here in London. I'll be making my recs in the morning then - no way will I be awake enough if I try staying up :(

[Dee]

trust me, 11pm, i'll be sleeping as well..i'm doing my first trial drive/run to our new location in the am...not looking forward to it
