A few months ago, Judith and I started up an impromptu book club called Epic Recs. The aim of this was to force each other to read books that we have previously loved. You know, because Judith is a self proclaimed book pusher, and I just like forcing people to do things.
A few months ago, we opened Epic Recs up to the public, and in December a hell of a lot of people signed up, either to be paired by us or after pairing themselves. Judith and I are so pleased at Epic Rec’s success. We truly hope everyone enjoys this as much as we do!
This month we’re doing the same thing, there’s a form you can fill in if you want to be paired with another person, or you can sign up right away with someone of your choosing using the Linky.
Want a random partner?
All you have to do is fill in the form below, and Judith and I will match you up with another participant. We’ll take your bookish tastes into account when finding the right partner for you, although Epic Recs is about expanding your horizons as much as the feeling of glee when someone loves your favourite book. Fill in the form if you’re interested, and we’ll pair you up as soon as possible!
Already have a partner?
Then create your sign up post/tweet/video for the month, and link it up so we can check it out! We’d love to know what you’re reading.
What if I participated last month but am looking for a new partner?
You may, of course, sign up for a new partner using the form. However, you MUST let your previous partner know that you’re planning to do it before you do it. We’re not doing letting them know for you.
If I sign up for a partner, which month do we start recommending Epic Recs to each other?
This is something you can discuss with your partner. You can either start right away, as soon as you get the email, or you can wait until next month if you are busy. It’s up to you!
If I sign up for a partner, how soon will I hear back from you?
We try to pair people up as soon as possible, but it does take some time. Sometimes people are kept on the waiting list because we want to pair people up with someone who they share something in common with, and there might not be anyone available right away. So please be patient, we work as fast as we can! We want the Epic Recs experience to be amazing for everyone involved, so a lot of thought goes into the pairing system.

Well, this is awkward. Neither of us read our Epic Recs from March because it was so crazy busy for the both of us. But I will read The Luxe eventually, I promise, and I’ll keep nagging Judith to read Tammara Webber. This month started off miles better, since I have already read my rec – SOMETHING REAL by Heather Demetrios – and really enjoyed it. I recommended FIRE WITH FIRE by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian to Judith, because she had been saying that she wanted to read the sequel to Burn for Burn. I am basically a book genie, didn’t you know? Let us know what you think of our recs, and if you’re a participant tell us how your month is going!
Sign up for an Epic Recs partner here!

My sister read The Burn for Burn series and loved it. It looks like a great summer read so I plan to enjoy reading Jenny Hann once I get done with college. I still have been reading about a book a week in college, but I still have plenty of books to read.
I just picked up Something Real from the library and am really excited to dig in! I actually haven’t even heard of the other one, though will be changing that immediately!
We’re very good at reading our recs. I will try to get to Fire With Fire this month, but otherwise I’ll read it next month. I’m getting kind of intimidated by all these recs I still need to read omg.
I totally want to sign up, but I’m so busy right now! Hmm, I’ll have to remember to sign up in like June when I have more time! This is such a great idea!
