Amanda, could you confirm if the first three books are suitable for all age groups? Just to be sure if our younger members would be comfortable reading them.

Sure:
The Dry (Aaron Falk, #1) Jane Harper was suggested this past month, so I believe it would be a suitable suggestion.
Black Prism: According to many sites, it is definitely suitable for high school students and would be alright for middle grade who are interested in fantasy
Shutter Island might be too horror for some.

Thanks! I think we can include them, but someone I know raised concerns, so I wanted to check with you as well.

No problem. What were their concerns? I'll check more into them.

They said that they might be more suitable for mature young adults because some people had tagged them as 'adult' on a different website (I haven't received word as to which it is), but looking around, I'm convinced so I'll just add them later to the list :)
