The Clockmaker's Daughter - I want to read this too.
The Night Bird - Sounds intriguing.
Bridge of Clay - I've heard mixed reviews, though I loved The Book Thief and I Am the Messenger.

I've got to read The Night Bird by the end of the month for Wheel of Bookshelves, so I'll go with that one. I have the other two on hold at the library too. Great picks!

Thanks! ☺"
Here's a few to choose from.
The Ship of the Dead
The White Queen
The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms
Thanks, those are great picks. I'm still not sure which one I'll go with. Still have few books before to finish, so I'll come back with my choice when I'm closer to picking one up (in about a week?)For now I'm siding with Riordan's The Ship of the Dead as I just finished previous book in series and want to see how it continues
Edit:
I'm changing book and going to read The White Queen
Hi Ashley! Could you pick 3 books for me, please? https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...Merry Christmas if you celebrate!
Happy holidays Ashley! I'm back already and in need of another three from Amy's Bookopoly shelf. Thanks!

Merry Christmas, Marina! In the spirit of the holidays, I'm choosing books with red or green covers.
Amy wrote: "Happy holidays Ashley! I'm back already and in need of another three from Amy's Bookopoly shelf. Thanks!"Happy holidays, Amy! Wow, that was fast. Here are some with holiday/seasonal themed covers or titles. 1 for winter and 1 for summer to include both hemispheres.
Thanks, Ashley! Hard to choose! I'll probably read The Dunwich Horror but I need to think about it a bit.
