Thanks! I will aim for all three as well as I am really trying to make a dent in my physical books this year so I can downsize. I may only get through 1 and 3 though because of the length of 2 but fingers crossed as they all sound great. Will start The Darkest Part of the Forest first.

Here's 3 picks for you Sarah. Happy reading 💗
1.
... because it seems like everyone else is reading it lately haha2.
... because it's the perfect time of year for it3.
... because i've heard good things about it
Reed wrote: "I don't know how to do that"Link your to-read shelf or if that's too long create a shelf with books you can realistically read (already own or easily get a copy of)

I'm not sure how to do that on my phone📱
The link I sent says how to do it on phones. I can't help you more than that so I guess try googling how to do it for your specific phone if you have a different kind? 🤷♀️
I finished
and gave it 4 stars. I enjoyed being back in the world of good and evil and will continue with the series. Thank you for the pick!
Kennedy wrote: "My partner is Mandiann and here are my picks for you :) because I enjoyed it and its a good fall read because it soun..."Thanks Kennedy! I enjoyed The Darkest Part of the Forest. I am still trying to get through Crimson Bound before the month ends.
I finished
a while back. I really enjoyed the story. It's been quite a while since I read a dystopian story like this. It was fun to read one again.
I’m sorry I didn’t get to finish Digital Fortress this month, college workload got WAY out of hand, but out of the almost halfway I made it through I give it 5 stars so far! It’s super suspenseful and action packed, which is exactly what I’d expect from a Dan Brown novel. I’m enjoying myself!

I read it a couple years ago too after most of the hype for it died down but really loved the story and thought it was fun to relive that era of dystopia again. From your picks, I started reading Wild Beauty. I'm about a quarter of the way through it so far and I'm enjoying it. I hope to finish it sometime early next month :)
I managed to read a third of Gilded but my chronic headaches have gotten worse reading on my iPad so waiting until my finished copy gets here to continue but I'm really enjoying the story so far and can't wait to continue!
Ended up only finishing The Hate U Give. It was really good, I liked it.
I finished School's Out - Forever by James Patterson just today.This one is a little meh..I'm not feeling it. I think the writing is ridiculous. James Patterson really has trouble writing a 14 year old girl. The others he seems ok in writing, but not the MC. The storyline is awesome, but just not feeling it with how it's written. I'll keep reading the rest of the series, but I will continue listening on audio like I did the first book.
