I suggest this book because it's a lesser known author who I think independently published. All three books of the series are out, so it 's nice to read a book where you can finish it and then continue with the story right away.
Oh ... And I want to add that I just read a minute ago that the author is donating any profits from kindle sales of her book,
in October to charity to help fight childhood cancers.
We should read The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. I've heard many great things and the movie has either just recently came out or will be coming very soon. I would add the book cover but I'm not sure how to do so. Sorry!

Hey could you pick one of those books you suggested? Each person can only suggest one book this time since there's only one category.

I suggest
Ruby red! It's a lesser known book and it's about timetraveling, which is a theme that is not so used. And besides, timetraveling sounds totally awsome!<3

My book An Amazing Adventure Through Time
. (I wouldn't suggest my own book before asking moderators if I could do this, OK?)
This is the English version of my best-seller Aventura Alucinante (Portuguese language).

I'm not dissing the suggestion, cause actually I have read the entire Gregor the Overlander series and really enjoyed them, but are they YA books? I got them from the children's section of the library. I will say that if you read through to the last book, the content becomes very mature.
Unspoken by Sarah Rees BrennanI'm suggesting this because I'm planning to read it and I heard so many great things about it. And because Holly Black is a huge fan. She apparently "swooned" over it. A word that has magic to me since you can convince me of anything if you tell me that you "swooned" over it. :)

I haven't read the books but I read the summary and it said that it was about an 11 year old so I'm assuming that it is a YA book and 342 users have shelved it as YA. But it could be a middle grade book.

Most publishers also sell their books as children's and teens and you can find many YA books in the children's section of the bookstore and library. Amazon classifies Gregor as ages 8 and up. So perhaps it's middle grade. But I've heard it a good one!!!
Erika wrote: "It's time to pick the November books! We are also going to be reading Finale, Days of Blood and Starlight, and Hidden so don't suggest those books!This month we are going to have a random choice...."
I think we should read Variant by Robinson Wells
Hannah wrote: "The Twilight Saga (any of the four are amazing!)
"
We've read those but you can suggest something else

because the movie is going to come out soon."Yeah, I agree. THe movie was really good!
Throne of GlassI think was should read this because I downloaded the first chapter for free and thought it was really really good and something that will be enjoyed by everyone :)
I've not read it yet myself (it is on my "to-read" list) but have been told it is in the high school reader realm.

This month we are going to have a random choice. Each person can suggest one book for the category.
To suggest a book please put the title and the author. And remember the book must be be YA!
Also a little reminder to everyone. This is not where you vote. This is where you make suggestions for the poll. The poll will probably be up around mid October so about October 15.
The suggestions also can't be something we've already read and they have to be young adult because we are a young adult group! To see what we've read and haven't read go to the Books we've read topic. If you are new I strongly suggest this!
