I'll totally accept some suggestions! I looked at city backgrounds and all. And I don't want any world history type book. And I'm trying to not have all of us reading the same.... LOL. I'm not trying to be a pain, just explaining why I need help w it! Thanks
Same for me...plus, even when I do find a book, I have to make sure my library has it. If they don't...well, I need a different book. I'm going to check out some other lists though, see if I can find something. How about
Yes to that one, Nadia. Great series as well :D
(Plane)... it's a new adult, though.
