HM Elizabeth,

I picked two from your list and one based on your likes: Dorothy Must Die (Dorothy Must Die, #1) by Danielle Paige , The Night Watch by Sarah Waters , and The Devil's Metal (Devils, #1) by Karina Halle .

Also can I get a couple other options just in case Fangirl isn't available for me to pick up in my libraries?

Elizabeth (aconight) Of course, joyride by Stephen King (I'm fond of his word) and the mad hatters daughter by Megan Shepherd.
Also can u tell me the second book u choose? I'm using the goodreads app and it's not showing the second image. Thank you! So excited, I have The Night Watch on my bedside table just waiting to be read. :)

HM Elizabeth, do you mean Joyland? And I can't find any book called The Mad Hatter's Daughter. If you do mean Joyland then I've already got a copy in my library check-out stack at home so I'll read that. I've never been the biggest fan of the obsession with Alice In Wonderland so I probably wouldn't go for that and every copy of Fangirl is checked out. I'm not to keen on it anyway. YA and I are not the best of friends at the moment.

Elizabeth (aconight) Yes Joyland I'm sorry having a busy rush everywhere kind of day haha.

Cielo | 8 comments Actually zoe, im kind kind of confused. If i was supposed to pick your books from my list, then read anything from the above just mentioned, if i was supposed to pick books for you to read from your own list then oops, my bad, and you can read
Obsidian (Lux, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout or Stolen A Letter to My Captor by Lucy Christopher

Zoe MacIver | 35 comments Cielo I think it was my list so I'll read stolen and obsidian but if I finish those I'll read this book's name is secret!!

HM I have completed Joyland for this challenge! It was definitely NOT what I expected. More mystery and "coming of age" than I usually enjoy but it was heartfelt and had quite a few worthwhile things to say. And the writing was wonderfully elegant which isn't usually what I associate with Stephen King. I'd recommend it but probably wouldn't read it again or read another like it any time soon.

Elizabeth (aconight) I'm glad you it amused u somewhat, Hannah. I just finished Dorothy Must Die. I gave it four stars. I loved the idea of the story but the main character tended to ramble too often. This tends to get me disinterested. I wouldn't reread this but would I will be looking forward to the next book in this series.

Arielle Rae Aguilar | 55 comments Oops it's already May and I still haven't said anything about Grave Mercy (His Fair Assassin, #1) by Robin LaFevers ... Sorry!
It was very good and I'm continuing the series with Dark Triumph (His Fair Assassin, #2) by Robin LaFevers
Thanks Kate!
