Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) Team Posiedion had this goal earlier so I read what Sonia said over there to get my info. Maybe that's helpful?

I took a gander at Team Poseidon's thread and based on what I read, Sonia does not care about the position# she wants the book to be one of the first 50 when you sort by date added.
In that case Misery would work as it is #1 on my list.
