Woot! 1.) I'm very logical.
2.) I was attacked by wolves as a child.
3.) I live in Minnesota.
Enders Game, most likely. WYR The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight or This Is What Happy Looks Like?
Gene and Sissy???

It counts, Taylor. :)
I'm guessing I won this time, with five books. So I'm going to go ahead and choose the next Book of the Month.Please let me know if I'm wrong.

That was one of the cool things about the book. You never knew what would happen next.
Jennifer wrote: "Okay-I'm new and don't know the lingo. What is POV?"Yup, Point of View. And MC is Main Character. Sorry, I guess I should've clarified. >.<
Lol, it just occurred to me. Bingo Lingo. XD
Yum!Spaghetti with meatballs?
Kate wrote: "I'm in... and how exactly do we mark off which spots we read? and which books for those spots? its honor policy?"I'll probably just copy the image to my computer, then put "X" on the spots using Photoshop. But you can always just type which ones you've marked off if you perfer.
And yes, for the most part it's honor system. I can't have read every book everyone will read for this challenge, so I can't know for sure which books count for which spots, but I don't think anyone will feel inclined to cheat. =)
Tune in, probably. Brave by Sara Bareillis.
Next month our theme will be... Dundunduuun...Historical! We'll start off the new year by going back in time!Feel free to go ahead and post which historical novels you'd like to see read and on the fifteenth, I'll post a poll with all the options that were suggested. Be sure to get your nominations in, otherwise I'll have to choose all of them myself! ;)
Let's open the nominations for next month! Since we now plan to have two Group Reads per month, we're going to have two different categories as well. So when you submit your nominations, be sure to include one book for each of the two categories:
1.) Dystopian/Paranormal/Otherworldly/ect.
And
2.) Contemporary/Real Life
Rules:
1.) Any YA novel is eligible.
2.) One nomination per person, per category.
3.) Nominations are open from the 1st until the 14th of the month, after that, I'll put all the nominated books in a poll until the 21st. I'll let you know which books won on the 22nd.
4.) Please don't nominate a book we have already read. Check our list a Group Reads to be sure it hasn't been read.
5.) Only nominate the first book in a series UNLESS we have already read #1. In this case, #2 is then eligible for nomination! Any stand alone novels are eligible.
6.) Please keep in mind that recently released books, while eligible, might make it more difficult for everyone to get a copy. It might not be available at libraries yet and not everyone is willing to shell out $20 for the hard-cover.
Happy Nominating! :D

Please join us this month in reading Pivot Point by Kasie West for our "Debut Novel" Theme!
Synopsis: Knowing the outcome doesn’t always make a choice easier . . .
Addison Coleman’s life is one big “What if?” As a Searcher, whenever Addie is faced with a choice, she can look into the future and see both outcomes. It’s the ultimate insurance plan against disaster. Or so she thought. When Addie’s parents ambush her with the news of their divorce, she has to pick who she wants to live with—her father, who is leaving the paranormal compound to live among the “Norms,” or her mother, who is staying in the life Addie has always known. Addie loves her life just as it is, so her answer should be easy. One Search six weeks into the future proves it’s not.
In one potential future, Addie is adjusting to life outside the Compound as the new girl in a Norm high school where she meets Trevor, a cute, sensitive artist who understands her. In the other path, Addie is being pursued by the hottest guy in school—but she never wanted to be a quarterback’s girlfriend. When Addie’s father is asked to consult on a murder in the Compound, she’s unwittingly drawn into a dangerous game that threatens everything she holds dear. With love and loss in both lives, it all comes down to which reality she’s willing to live through . . . and who she can’t live without.

Please join us this month in reading The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin!
Synopsis: Mara Dyer doesn’t think life can get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there.
It can.
She believes there must be more to the accident she can’t remember that killed her friends and left her mysteriously unharmed.
There is.
She doesn’t believe that after everything she’s been through, she can fall in love.
She’s wrong.
