What should I read next?

At any given time I have several queues of TBR books (don't ask -- it's my own system, mixing formats and where I read and fiction or non-fiction, etc.). But anyway, I have a literal stack of fiction books waiting to be read and I can't decide which one to read next. So I throw it out to my flist: what do you want to see reviewed next? (No, there are no write-in votes, I'm trying to shrink my TBR stack!)

The Choices

[Poll #1791117]

ETA: &*@$%#! I misspelled "anthology" and you can't edit a poll after it's been posted.

ETA 2: Battle Royale it is! Don't worry, I will get to the others in due time.

I don't know, man. Unless someone is observing it, I think it's in a superposition of being both written and not written.

My whinge is that you suckered us into AQ by HhD an Happy endig Story.

AQ = you make us like Characters and then you hurt us by hurting Characters we like. You are Joss Whedon and I claim my £5. SOME of your posts have Dangled the Carrot that AQ4 will be LESS gloom and doom than AQ 1-3.

And you can't even say that people we love will be safe in bk4 because that would kill the dramaticq tension of people we care about in danger, tlc.

I'm not sure if you're taking the piss or not.

I've never promised a happy ending or that characters you like won't get hurt. I do think book four is less gloomy than books two and three. (I didn't think book one was particularly gloom and doom.)

" I do think book four is less gloomy than books two and three. "

Aha! That was what you said. My mistake.

Book 1 had the gloom of nice Ben being the Traitor, rather than someone we like dying.
