Wild Things: YA Grown-Up discussion

It's time to nominate some books for March's group reads!
If you haven't done this before, our rules can be found here:http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/2... If you have questions, please ask.

Our theme for March is ALA Top Ten (http://www.ala.org/yalsa/teenstopten)! You may nominate 2 Young Adult books, one that is themed and one that is not. Please label your books as themed and non-themed. Nominations will run for about a week.


Don't forget to check the group's bookshelf for books we've already read. http://www.goodreads.com/group/booksh...

Please include authors' names when nominating. Authors may not nominate their own books!

Thanks!

Jennifer, can you clarify if the themed nominations have to be from the 2012 top ten list or if they can be from a previous year's list?

I would say it could be from any year.

Gage, have you read Sandman Slim? I can't tell if it's young adult.

I'll get polls up this weekend!

I've read it, and no, it's not. I enjoyed it, but it's an adult book.

I know, Emy. It's TERRIBLE to have to buy a new book isn't it? ;-)
