Wild Things: YA Grown-Up discussion

Time for nominations!!

If you haven't done this before, our rules can be found here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... If you have questions, please ask.

Our theme for June is Illustrated Novel. 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. https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

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

Thanks!

Themed: Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

Non-themed: A Moment Comes by Jennifer Bradbury

Any one else care to nominate some books for June?

Has this group read Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld yet? (I can't check the bookshelf from my phone) It would make a good themed read (or whichever next in the series we haven't done.)

For a non-themed read, how about Dreams of Gods and Monsters by Laini Taylor?

How about these?

Themed: A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
Non-themed: These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman

Rora, we've read Leviathan: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/..., but you can nominate the next in the series, Behemoth.

Kdbrand, we've done A Monster Calls: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/.... Is there something else you'd like to nominate?

We'll go with Behemoth, then.

We have our winners!

Our themed read will be Behemoth by Scott Westerfeld.

Our regular read will be These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman.

Enjoy!!

Love Scott Westerfeld!

Me too! Though it's been a while since I read Leviathan. I hope I can remember enough of it to continue with the story.

I haven't read Leviathan yet! I want to badly, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I saw him speak about it at a conference--intriguing!

You'll definitely want to read Leviathan first. He creates enough of a new world that you wouldn't be able to just pick it up in the next book. Also, a lot of history happens!
