I'm stuck on this challenge. The ones that are left are one's I'm not excited to read.
Me either which is why it is still pending. I like Snyder but I read the first book in the Study series and totally hated it. The premise of the story is offensive to me and I won't continue the series. But don't take my word for it because other people absolutely love it.
However, her Insider series is very good and I have her Glass series on my TBR but haven't got to it yet.
