Ezi?????

Hi everyone,
somehow I missed LaurLa's post and didn't add her for picking even though she clearly posted a shelf.
Can someone please help me by picking for her ASAP?

LaurLa, I really apologize for my oversight of her shelf. Please pick from my shelf and I will read that series as well.
I am very sorry.
