Reading Is Life YA discussion

We need book suggestions for our books of the month for September (we will have two per month). Since we haven't actually read anything, our options are open. If it's in a series, remember to add the first book and to keep it YA, since this is a YA group. Suggestions will be added to our book poll for September.

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

Unearthly by Cynthia Hand... I bought it and I havent read it yet. lol

Paper Towns by John Green and Heist Society by Ally Carter.

Switched by Amanda Hocking

I've already read Paper Towns and it was okay.

I'd second Unearthly, I also have a copy I haven't read yet. Heist Society would be cool too, I can get a copy for a few bucks at the used book store.

Thirteen Reasons Why would also be fine, I have a copy of that as well.

I'd like to nominate Looking For Alaska by John Green if we're doing John Green books.

Okay, so far for suggestions we have:
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
Unearthly by Cynthia Hand
Paper Towns by John Green
Heist Society by Ally Carter
Switched by Amanda Hocking
Looking for Alaska by John Green

That's pretty good considering it's only the 3rd. Anyone other than Amber, Selena and I have a suggestion?

im a big sucker for romance books or romantic/comedy so i figure i will suggest one of those for the fun of it; she's so dead to us from the he's so/she's so trilogy

Okay, I'll add it! Have you read it yet? So far, I've read the first one.

Mylinh has nominated Twilight by Stephanie Meyer and the first book of the Secret Circle series by L.J. Smith.

I NOMINATE MATCHED! By Ally Condie, lol. It's a dystopian romance and the third and final book is actually coming out in november.

So... how can we decide which book that we are gonna read among these ???

We'll have a poll, or maybe seperate them into two polls at random since we'll read two books... How do you guys want to do it?

TWO POLLS!

Polls are good!

one comment though: If its a twilight book, i wont be able to read it.

Why not? And if it wins, you can always read the other book since we'll have two. I'm going camping for the weekend, so I'll talk to you guys when I get back!

I don't read supernatural stuff. It can leak into your life in multible ways.

Hopefully ne of the books that is the winner will be a book that you will want to read Hana.

Yeah. :D

To be honest, I probably won't read Twilight if it wins either. I've read the entire series, but I'm not a huge fan.

What do you mean by that Hana?

Well, I'm a christian, and I personally believe that reading supernatural and demonic books can open up the door to satanic activity in your life. I actually know of a case where this happened.

Do tell!

My old youth group leader had a really good friend who git hooked on paranormal movies and started watching a bunch, and now weird stuff is happening at her house. cars rolling across the floor with noome in the room, cabinets slamming fr no apparent reason, and feeling her hair pulled, but noone around.

That must have been scary for her. Really creepy Hana

That is so creepy! I hope that doesn't happen to me, I don't think I can give up my paranormal book addiction anytime soon...

We'll stop taking suggestions on the 20th and then divide the books into two polls at random.

So far we have:

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
Unearthly by Cynthia Hand
Paper Towns by John Green
Heist Society by Ally Carter
Switched by Amanda Hocking
Looking for Alaska by John Green
Shes so Dead to us in the hes so/ shes so trylogy
Twilight by Stephanie Meyer
the first book of the Secret Circle series by L.J. Smith
Matched By Ally Condie
I think I got them all. Anyone have any more suggestions?

This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen.

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins :) it's reallly good. Oh and if you have already the two winning books , do you have to read it again? What if you didn't like both of them or what if you can't buy or borrow it from anywhere?

You don't have to read books you have already read but If you want to re-read them its totally up to you. You can decide if you want to read the books, If you already have at least one of them and you didn't like it then you don't have to read it. You could always check in another thread we have where you can talk about the book your reading if you don't like or have the books. If you can't buy it anywhere I suggest going to a library if you have one close but if you don't then I guess you can't read it.

Ok thanks:)

Okay everybody suggestions are now closed so if you still have more than you have to wait until we have another suggestions thread.
Thanks for all the suggestions and please vote once we have up both polls.

Did everyone remember to vote? Remember, polls close on the 31st!
