Karen wrote: "I agree. Although one of the books that came up for me I've been reading for over a month! Ah! Need to stop being distracted by other books and just finish it :)"I'm with you on that! Need to finish series and stop beginning new ones. The only solution: stay away from GR. But it's already too late for us :)

Technically book 3 on my list as the randomizer thought I needed to read book 8 twice.
75.
* 69 was technically Never Fade which was book 2 in the The Darkest Minds series and since I haven't read any of it I substituted book 1 in it's place.
I'm going to do this 6 books at a time. 1336-supposed to be
but since I haven't read any of them, I'm substituting
