Welcome everyone to the Penguin Teen Book Club! We will be leading monthly discussions of new and exciting YA novels, and we can't wait to talk to you all about them! Each selection will be announced around the middle of the month before the book club begins and we will run a giveaway to give people the opportunity to win a copy. The book club discussions will always start on the first weekday of the month. We're looking forward to chatting with you about all these great titles!

C This sounds great! :) I've been wanting to join a book club for awhile now, but with my work schedule, it's just not possible...I don't have regular days off...so this is perfect.


BookishlyDazed (daze21) This is perfect, I've been meaning to join a book club and this is works great with my school/work schedule!
I just got the book and I can't wait to read it and discuss it with you guys! :)

Ana (analove) I put Half-Bad on hold at the library last month and it still hasn't come! I hope I get it before the readalong ends


message 29: by Sally (new)

Sally Green | 15 comments Thanks to Penguin for choosing HALF BAD as the book club book this month.

And thank you to everyone for joining in to any of the discussions. It should be fun and for me it will be particularly interesting to hear what readers like or dislike and how different aspects of the book are interpreted.

I'll read all the comments and add a few of my own along the way.

Thanks again.

Erin Lynn | 4 comments Hey, everyone. My name is Erin, and I am now a YA addict after taking a required Young Adult Literature class in college. I try to read everything that comes out so that when I get my own classroom one day, I'll be up-to-date on what my students have read.

Anyways, if you have a few seconds to spare, would you mind voting on a list of mine?

Kat (booksenvogue) Hello everyone. I love YA so much I started an online/ offline bookclub in Baltimore, MD: Forever YA of Charm City. We meet monthly and recently took a group trip to BookCon in NYC. I'm happy to be apart of this group and look forward to the novel selections so I can recommend for our BOM picks.

Defne (creasedspines) | 2 comments I've been in this club for 2 months (i guess) yet I haven't posted anything ._.

Hi!! :D I'm Defne

I don't think I'll be able to participate every month but I'll try since you can't find every YA book in Turkey..

Have fun though!!!!

Cassie | 2 comments Any ideas on whether there will be a book pick in August and if so, what it will be?


message 45: by JacLyn (new) - added it

JacLyn (jasujo) | 6 comments I was hoping for a new book pick, too. The suggestions so far have been really great! Since I hadn't heard anything, I was going to finally read The Giver because the movie is coming out soon. :)

There obviously was no pick for August, but the September pick is ALL THE TRUTH THAT'S IN ME!
