Tassie | 62 comments 30.8 - Delicious Dee's task: Read ‘Em Again

I've only been in one previous reading challenge, so both my authors are from the most recent Winter challenge.

For that I read Matthew Pearl's The Dante Club and Veronica Roth's Divergent

For this challenge I read:

The Poe Shadow by Matthew Pearl
and Insurgent by Veronica Roth. I listened to the audiobook, but I cannot find the proper link to that one.

Pearl and Roth are Goodreads authors.
