c.j.'s selections                          ten ten ten
one		Throne of Glass - Sarah J. Maas  If I were Celaena, I'd either wither away in Endovier, get eaten by a Valg, or perish to death from staring too longingly into Dorian Havilliard's eyes.
two		Illuminae - Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff  You know the badass main characters who run around hacking things and foiling the AI?   I would be one of the dumbass soldiers getting vented iEfnto space.
three		The Cure for Dreaming - Cat Winters  Being hypnotized so I can't talk about scandalous stuff because I'm a woman?  Screw that.  (Also I'd totally be one of those well-educated spinsters who writes poetry and only talks to her cats.)
four		Denton Little's Death Date - Lance Rubin  I think about death enough as it is.  Can you imagine if I knew when I was going to die?  I'd probably end up killing myself early from obsessing over my deathdate, thus mystifying scientists all over.
five		A Madness So Discreet - Mindy McGinnis  If you can get committed just for disagreeing with your husband or getting knocked up, my crazy-pants self would get committed ten times over.  Also being locked in a cellar and wallowing in my own waste would kill me of gagging.
six		The Knife of Never Letting Go - Patrick Ness  Not only would I probably be dead (ya know, the whole lack of women thing) but if I weren't, my social anxiety plus being able to hear everyone's thoughts about me would make my head explode into a zillion pieces.  Or I'd just starve because wtf is survival!?
seven		Insomnia - J.R. Johannson  If anyone is going to have incurable insomnia, it'd be me.  Except I probably wouldn't find an awesomely mindful person whose dreams let me get some sleep, and instead would be dead by the age of 19.  Or I'd go on a sleep deprived psychotic murder spree.
eight		Everneath - Brodi Ashton  There's Nikki, so captivating that the fiendish Cole spares her life and develops an obsessive passion for her.  Then there would be me, that dumb girl who freaks out because a guy likes her and then gets sucked into a soulless husk for all eternity.
nine		After the Red Rain - Barry Lyga, Peter Facinelli, Robert DeFranco  If I have to work in a killing factory and my only available romantic interest is a human-shaped plant, I'd rather get run through the meat grinder.
ten		A Series of Unfortunate Events - Lemony Snicket  I refuse to live in a world where adults are that effing incompetent.  Like, does no one have a basic grasp of how humaning works!?
