I'd like to second Kellee's nomination, if that is allowed. It sounds like a good one and I haven't read it. Any other mysteries I'd recommend I wrote myself, so I won't do that!

Sorry! I saw you had read Beauty Queens right after I posted. How about: Winger

Themed: All Unquiet Things by Anna Jarzab

Non-themed: Ash by Malinda Lo

Sure, you can do that.

Also, FYI, Winger is on sale today only for Nook for $1.99.

More nominations? I'll get polls up sometime this weekend!

I nominate Breeder by Casey Hays for the non-themed book, and The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin for the mystery.

How about Death by Bikini by Linda Gerber for themed, and The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy by Kate Hattemer for non-themed?

Vigilante Poets is an excellent suggestion! Best YA novel I have read in long time.

Non-themed: Power of Three by Diana Wynne Jones

Breeder (Arrow's Flight) on sale for 99 cents Casey Hays NON THEME

Clearly we can't decide, so our themed reads will be The Westing Game and Shadowlands! Enjoy!

This group sounds like fun! I am new here and still getting my feet wet. If I stumble, just pick me up and set me on my feet again! lol Have you all read Robert Crais novels? Those will keep you up all hours of the night!

The Westing Game is so much fun. Please be careful not to expose clues that others haven't read yet. Experienced brain twister puzzle solvers will nail this contest long before the characters do.
