The Hunger Games - Suzanne CollinsI've heard great things and am dying to read it!

Hey Becky! Thanks for the welcome :) Oooh, I want to read that one too!
Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr(I just looked at the books I had left for the Spring Challenge and picked one... :) )
The Secret Garden. This book has been on my TBR list for awhile and this morning I took the "Which Classic Book Are You" quiz on Facebook and it said, "The Secret Garden". I guess I NEED to read this book!
*looks at her shelf of library books that are YA* Do I really only have to pick one? *sighs* I nominate...Bones of Faerie
I nominate I Am a Messenger by Markus Zusak.
Kandice wrote: "The Book Thief Because I just bought it!"YES!!! Have you read it yet? Oh my gosh, it's so gorgeous and lovely and moving and funny. And sad. And... please please start a thread!
ugh! I want to read (or have read and loved) every one of those.
Perpendicularandi wrote: "I nominate I Am a Messenger by Markus Zusak."I think I love you!
Ooh, can I add The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner? Otherwise Howl's Moving Castle looks good, I need to re-read it after watching the anime THREE times last week! :)
Again, I don't mean to sound stupid, but what is an anime?
Anime is Japanese animated films.. they generally are geared towards young adults and adults and have more adult themes. They are definitely NOT little kid films.
Thank you for clearing that one up for me as well, Kristen.
Always wanting to help! It's really a rather geeky thing to be into.. hehe.

They are fun books! I just read them all in the last 4 months.
I've already done my nomination, but someone needs to nominate City of Bones!
I feel a little silly, but I had nominated the Book Thief, but know I will vote for Maus. Does that mean I need to take back my nomination?

Can I second 2? Maus and I am Messenger, both have been cqlling to me but I haven't gotten aorund to either yet.
I'll be brave and nominate The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. See there, Fiona? I never nominate books because I'm afraid people will hate them if they're chosen, but in the spirit of getting your group up and running, I just officially made my first nomination in any group ever. A historic moment. :-)
JG, never read that, but do wanna read it.Fi, can I nominate Stormbreaker - Anthony Horowitz

for real Heather! I would gladly read every thing nominated that I haven't already :P
Heather wrote: "Allison, I bet you've read most of the ones nominated so far, haven't you? You reading machine, you...."nope! Only like 5 or 6 of them :P
Allison wrote: "Anne of Green Gables! :)...most people have probably already read it, I'm just pressuring Fiona to read it sooner."
Never read it Allison neither.
Heather wrote: "There are so many great noms that I want to read that I think I'll just wait for the voting"I agree. I already know which one I'll be voting for, too!
I'll probably just change my vote towards the end anyway :P when it gets close and there are only a couple contenders.
Allison wrote: "I'll probably just change my vote towards the end anyway :P when it gets close and there are only a couple contenders."I do that, too. You never know how voting is going to go, but it's nice when your vote matters!
And just leave it open for a couple of days. That way we can start reading!!
yeah...we sure don't need any more noms, so I agree!
