message 1: by Law (new)

Law I've heard of two of these authors before. One book appeared on a previous article, so it's not new to me. The other is from the author of The Cruel Prince.
It's nice to see a YA book here.


message 3: by Law (new)

Law I haven't heard of any of them except one. Where to start?

Ashley Goodreads needs to take note of Jamie’s lists every week. None of the books on the Goodreads list appeal to me, but three on Jamie’s list are on my Want to Read shelf, with two of them already waiting on hold for me at my local library.


message 12: by Chris (new)

Chris Gray No Empire of the Damned by Jay Kristoff??? That’s ok the first one only got an average 4.36 rating with over 43,000 votes. Guess it doesn’t fit the target audience. This app desperately needs a make over.


message 13: by Mairy (new)

Mairy The Great Divide was a letdown. Anite De Monte and Murder Road are both on my list of the 2024 most anticipated reads.
