I would like to remove The Walking Dead, Vol. 4: The Heart's Desire from Task 30.3 and I'll replace it at a later date.

Task 25.6 - Fire and Ice

I flipped two tails.

For book 1, I read a book with "desire" in the title:

The Walking Dead, Vol. 4: The Heart's Desire by Robert Kirkman

For book 2, I read a book shelved as "dystopia":

Y: The Last Man, Vol. 5: Ring of Truth by Brian K. Vaughan
