I want to read Whisper since the cover looks really interesting.

Pumpkin, Julie Murphy

Pumpkin is my reading list since I enjoyed the movie [of the first book] so I want to read the book series as well.

Scout's Honor, Lily Anderson

Scout's Honor is on my list since it covers an important topic and seems like it will be a very interesting read.

This book has multiple perspectives and is about crime so I am looking forward to reading it.
