I suggest for February!

Synopsis: Teenager Shanna Hunt has been hunting demons since her parents were murdered by them. She's used to doing things alone, her own way, but one fateful night throws her into the company of a team of hunters, each specializing in a particular kind of monster: vampires, werewolves, witches, shape-shifters...

This newly-formed team should be an unstoppable force for whatever is out there picking off individual hunters across the globe, but their first battle together against the monsters of the night could be their last.

I suggest

A re-imagining of The Scarlet Letter

I think we should choose for February. This book is highly rated and recommended.

I second

thanks for suggesting Elizabeth! I love love love the scarlet letter and I wouldn't have even thought to look to see if their was a different version of this classic!

I've seen this around...looks good!

I know! *crosses fingers and hopes people vote for it* lol

I third When She Woke and will re-read it. It was such an amazing book!

I am going to bring forward a book suggested for January

I'm new to this group, so I don't know if this book has been done before, but I just read a really good book called Divergent. It's a dystopian, fantasy, romance set in the future and reminded me a bit of the Hunger Games. This book was so good that I read the entire 400 pages or so in one night without stopping, it was gripping! It was so good that I still think about it. I can hardly communicate how good it is, I can't wait until there's a sequel!

Yeah I can't wait until it comes out, and yes it is such a good book!

Hello! I just joined also but I'd like to vote for When She Woke. It sounds amazing.

I second the nomination for Divergent.. I absolutely loved the book, the characters were really easy to love and understand.. the overall storyline is well executed and I had a great time reading it. Im really looking forward to the next part. Given the chance you should definatly give this book a read!

I second because then I might actually get around to reading it!

And I nominate :-)

I think this is YA, at least I hope so. I nominate The Maze Runner .
It is sitting on my TBR shelf taunting me. I keep trying to get to it, but Clockwork Prince came out, then I had group reads. So, please vote for The Maze Runner so I will finally be able to read it. Thx

Divergent looks good too though. Damn. Too many books!

I loved so I second it!

Thank you!

How are you guys getting the picture of the books to come up? thanks!

Also I want to add my vote to When She Woke because I have yet to read it.

The Name of the Star was really good but the sequel isn't out yet, which is why I am personally waiting to read Divergent. I have heard it's good though!
