Ok, I simplified this and got the random part to work but now it is pulling two identical random items vs. 2 different random items. How can I fix this?

function getLatestBooks() {
    if(get_field('books', 34)) {
        $rows = get_field('books', 34);
        $row_count = count($rows);
        $i = rand(0, $row_count - 1);

        echo $rows[$i]['sub_field_name'];

        $paperCounter = 0;

        while(has_sub_field('books', 34) && $paperCounter < 2) {
            $latestBooks .= '<p>'.$rows[$i]['cover'].'</p>';
            $latestBooks .= '<p>'.$rows[$i]['title'].'</p>';

            $paperCounter++;
        }

        $latestBooks .= '</ul>';
    }
    return $latestBooks;
}
