Book Cover of Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige

Synopsis (From Goodreads): I didn’t ask for any of this. I didn’t ask to be some kind of hero.

But when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado—taking you with it—you have no choice but to go along, you know?

To be a place where Good Witches can’t be trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion. There’s still the yellow brick road, though—but even that’s crumbling…

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created over at The Broke and the Bookish.

They created the feature out of a love of lists and, well, the rest is history. Here at Literary Obsession, we’re hit or miss on whether we particular in that week’s list, but we do love lists just as much as the next list-loving person, so it is a regular enough feature on the blog. If you’re curious about this week’s topic… head on in!

Book Cover of Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi

Synopsis (From Goodreads): It’s been months since Aria learned of her mother’s death.

Months since Perry became Blood Lord of the Tides, and months since Aria last saw him.

Now Aria and Perry are about to be reunited. It’s a moment they’ve been longing for with countless expectations. And it’s a moment that lives up to all of them. At least, at first.

Then it slips away. The Tides don’t take kindly to former Dwellers like Aria. And the tribe is swirling out of Perry’s control. With the Aether storms worsening every day, the only remaining hope for peace and safety is the Still Blue. But does this haven truly exist?
