June Group Reads: We Have a Tie
I like that we can nominate for both. :)1. Models Don't Eat Chocolate Cookies by Erin Dionne
2. The Third Eye by Mahtab Narsimhan
We can, but I don't really have a nomination for category 2, although the main character in mine is pretty prgressive for a girl of her time.;0
Oooh I, Coriander is so cute! :D I also like that we can nominate two, though I had to keep editing my feminism pick'cuz first I chose Graceling then The Hunger Games - but ya'll have already read those . . . so sad for me!

Fiona wrote: "20th! *extinguishes fire in Felina's pocket*"Ha ha I think I can wait until the 20th...maybe. If that fire re-ignites I can't be held responsible for my actions.
I myself will be nominating Postcards from No Man's Land by Aidan Chamberswhich was the theme for the bookmark I received over at the swap.
okee...I nominate Voices by Ursula K. Le Guin for category 2. Voices is book two in a series, but they read well as stand alones.
And, The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex for category 1.
Oh, we can't have strong women without me nominating the classic Sybil : The Forgotten Beasts of Eld. Strong, mothering, ruthless, loving, logical, and absolutely doesn't care about the categories in which the world tries to define her.

I just didn't want anyone else to miss out on their awesomeness! I cannot WAIT until Mockingjay comes out!!

Natalie wrote: "The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau Banks by E. Lockhart."Don't know what category that is in. If someone knows tell me otherwise can't put it anywhere.

2. Beautiful Creatures"
These have both been nominated Stephanie. So you can nominate two others if you wish or just wait until the polls are up.
We have two very good lists so far. Nominations close today, I shall leave it up until my evening time as many of you are probably just getting up or still in bed.
Lani, we've already read The Hunger Games... think we may have read the sequel too, not sure.So I will add your number one and you can nominate another one for two. Check thebookshelf to see what's already been read.
Know what I did? Forgot to put the polls up. Doh!Putting them up at this minute so hold your breath!
You pesky lot, even when I hide the poll results you give me a draw.First Category Winner: The Maze Runner by James Dashner
Joint Tie: Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen and Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia
So we'll have to have a quick fire poll. If it ties again we'll just have to read all three.
