How about a girly themed playlist?

Cookie by Jacqueline Wilson

Looking for Alaska by John Green

and his Fault in Our Stars

A whole series about keeping a pet dragon and they’re read by someone who used to be The Doctor! I think they’re in the right order!

so the obvious choices here are The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, the Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth and The Maze Runner trilogy by James Dashner.

THE MAZE RUNNER:

DIVERGENT BOOK 1:
