Lisa, there will be a new thread created each month for that month's sign-ups for Hidden Gems. On the 10th of every month, I will create match-ups. The match-up partners then pick books for each other from whatever list they have each designated. You may choose the same or different list to post each month. That is completely up to you. Some people make lists specifically for Hidden Gems, while others use their main want-to-read list. Others make specific lists for holiday months (such as Independence Day Books or Christmas Reads). Just depends upon your mood.
January's Hidden Gems thread is already taking sign-ups now.

This current thread is where we keep track of the Hidden Gems that have been chosen for us each month, so once your partner chooses your books, you can add the one(s) you decide to read (or all that were chosen for you) to your tracking post here.
For example, if Staci chose for me in January, I could note that like this:
January: Chosen by Staci

Lisa, the January sign-ups are found here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
It might be helpful to have more than four books on your list, as partners typically choose 3-4 books for each other every month.

Great job!
Glad to hear Swimming in the Deep End is so good! I'm trying to get to that book in 2025.
