Addicted to YA discussion

It's time to pick the September books! We are also going to be reading The Mark of Athena so don't suggest that book!

This month we are going to have two themes and a random choice. Each person can suggest up to 3 books. One for the first theme, one for the second theme, and one for the random YA choice.

Theme #1: Bullying
Theme #2: Creepy paranormal thrillers

To suggest a book please put the title, the author, and label the category that you are suggesting it for. If it is not specifically labeled it will be put in the random category.

The book must be YA!

Also a little reminder to everyone. This is not where you vote. This is where you make suggestions for the poll. The poll will probably be up around mid September so about September 15.

The suggestions also can't be something we've already read and they have to be young adult because we are a young adult group! To see what we've read and haven't read go to the group bookshelf. If you are new I strongly suggest this!

I put down Impulse instead of Perfect because we haven't read Impulse yet and it would make more sense to read that one before Perfect. Hope that's ok!

Theme 1 - "Rules" by Cynthia Lord. Not really bullying exactly, but the fear of what people will think about her has the main character questioning her devotion to her autistic brother. AWESOME read! On the other hand, it's on the group's bookshelf, but I'm too stupid to figure out if that means it's been read already :>)
Theme 2 - Sorry, I got nada. But can't wait to read other people's suggestions! Sounds like a cool category.
Theme 3 - Am going to be obnoxious and suggest my own book, "The Door in the Sky". It's a YA humorous fantasy. If you're afraid it will suck, read a long excerpt on my website - http://thedoorinthesky.com/
But please be kind in your critiques as I cry easily. If you're really mean, then I will be forced to consume copious amounts of chocolate. On the other hand, if you love it, then I will have to crack open a box of Oreos to celebrate. So either way my jeans won't zip. That's how much your opinion means to me!The Door in the Sky
