Eden, does The Poison Apples have Asian characters or setting? I couldn't tell from the description.

I received an e-mail request nominating The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd as a non-themed read.

We have our winners!

Themed: Never Fall Down

Non-themed: More Than This

Enjoy!

I'm looking forward to discussing Never Fall Down. It's an intense read, but wonderfully done.

I haven't read anything by Patrick Ness, though I know he's pretty popular. Is More Than This a good one to start with?
