Young Adult Historical Fiction discussion

Time to nominate books for the July group read! Post your book in the comments. We'll put up the poll before the month is over so you can vote. :)

I nominate The Caged Graves

Navigating Early by Clare Vanderpool Navigating Early

And mine is The Pale Assassin by Patricia Elliot. I'll put up the poll tomorrow, so there's still time for last nominations. :)

Is the July poll up? Can't find a link.

I'll put it up right now! Thanks for the reminder. :)

Here's the link to the July poll: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1...

The votes are in! This month we had a tie, so our two group reads are... Navigating Early and The Lost Crown! I'll be posting the discussion topics shortly!

Yeah! Both look excellent and are very different. Can't wait to get started.

Awesome! I'm definitely going to try to get to the library, but I'll be traveling some so it may not happen. Even if I can't, they both look great and I'm sure I'll read them eventually. :)

Just finished Navigating Early. Loved it!!! It is rare to have a male coming of age story that rings true and authentic. It is also a quest story filled with mystery, danger, adventure and quirky characters. Like all good quest stories, the quest is about much more than the physical journey. In Jack's and Early's case, it is a journey of discovery: discovering how to be a friend, how to believe in yourself and trust others, how to forgive. Will definitely read this one again.

Did I miss the August vote/selection? When are the nominations for September choice?

I don't think there's been one for August, though the month isn't over yet. We could still read a group book. :)
