Oh the institute is a great choice! I would love to spend a day there with everyone. I like the historical feel of The Winner's Curse as well, I'm anxious for the second book in the series to come out.
Great List!

Great choices. I haven't read the Winners Curse or Burning Sky yet - are they as good as they sound?

I love those books which take you away to magical place! I was lucky enough to visit Prague a few years back, and it definitely is a gorgeous place, that I hope you get to visit soon! I still need to read a lot of the books that you've mentioned on your list, but can't wait to see the fantastic places the authors have written about. Hogwarts would also definitely make it to my list! :)

Hahaha of course everyone would pick Hogwarts! Who doesn't want to practice magic AND BE SORTED. And I also have Prague on my list as well!

I would have been super concerned if you two didn't have Hogwarts on your list! I would love to visit Prague too and Thisby! :) Since I just finished Anna and the French Kiss I would have had to put Paris on my list if I would have participated this week.

I decided against doing fantasy for my list, but YES - Thisby and The Crucible would have totally made it! Magical horses and a fairy tale-like video game setting? Sounds awesome. :D
Great list, ladies!
