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. 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!

Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 14 comments Destiny Binds (Timber Wolves Trilogy, #1) by Tammy Blackwell
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.

Shaye (eshaye19) 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.

Joey | 2 comments I suggest Ruby Red (The Ruby Red Trilogy, #1) by Kerstin Gier 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 An Amazing Adventure Through Time by Glauco Adams . (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).


message 19: by Greta (new)

Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 14 comments 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.

Jeosa (jeosac) | 3 comments Unspoken (The Lynburn Legacy, #1) by Sarah Rees Brennan Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan

I'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.

Personally, I think that the line between middle grade and YA can be quite blurred. 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!!!
