Happy New Year! It's time to nominate some books for January's group reads!
If you haven't done this before, our rules can be found here: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/2... If you have questions, please ask.

Our theme for January is Traditional Lit- fables, legends, etc! You may nominate 2 Young Adult books, one that is themed and one that is not. Please label your books as themed and non-themed. Nominations will run for about a week.


Don't forget to check the group's bookshelf for books we've already read. http://www.goodreads.com/group/booksh...

Please include authors' names when nominating. Authors may not nominate their own books!

Thanks!

I've had it on my shelf forever! I'm always reluctant to pick up retellings but I'm not sure why; I almost always enjoy them. I'm a weirdo.
