I would not consider Encyclopedia Brown to be YA. I recommend it to very young readers.
1. Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

Mockingjay's already been nominated... you might want to change your nomination. :)
1. Was going to nominate Unwind, but someone beat me, so.... I second it I guess. 2. The Boyfriend List: 15 Guys, 11 Shrink Appointments, 4 Ceramic Frogs and Me, Ruby Oliver by E. Lockhart
Do we get to vote naow, pleese? (Annoying questions aren't as annoying if they're in lolcat, right?)

The talking thing I never quite overcame, which is probably why I became a teacher. I can talk all day!
Hey, I just noticed my books didn't make the list... *Pouts*

I think I'd be a tad upset if Mockingjay did win. Not because I don't like who nominated it, or the book or anything, but simply because it's the end of a series of books that not everyone might have read (although, really, YOU SHOULD READ IT!)
Yay! Thanks Fiona.. and also.. most ppl have read it this week...

The Hunger Game series is very popular and many people have been patiently waiting for the final book.
I have all three but never read any!!!! LOL I let my nephew borrow the first 2 and have yet to get them back!!!

Everyone seems to be having the same issues. I hear Amazon is doing the same thing
Got mine from Amazon right away. Finished it last week. I agree we should not read a book that is so far into a series. I planned on reading Mockingjay regardless and would prefer reading something in a book club I might not have read otherwise. For a club book it makes more sense to pick the first book in a series or a book that stands alone.

Are you going to update our books to show the winners, Fiona?
I still haven't gotten to my August books yet. The Iron King got requested by someone else so I have to return it.
