Well, I just got home! So I can finally start! Lol.
Yay! Can't wait to dig in!

Chicago - Dresden Files
Aww, sorry, Kitty. ^.^; We've already read those. But the sequels are eligible for nomination!
I guess not VERY intimidating cause nobody's nominated Books of the Month. -_-
I didn't go into this expecting to like it, but it really grew on me after a while. I, honestly, think Cole and Isabel made the whole series though. I just couldn't relate much to Grace. That said though, I still liked it a lot more than I thought, considering it was a werewolf book. And as for those spoilers, Connie, I could definitely sympathize with you. I was like, "Okaaay..." peahen I read it, lol. XD
Hey, I'm very intimidating! *Puffs out chest*
Sweet! The Program counts toward the Banner Challenge, too!
Amy, Rachel, Heather - let us know if your partner's haven't chosen your books after a couple more days! We'll figure out something to help ya'll!
Hi, guys!The nominations for September Books of the Month are up! Go nominate! *Cracks whip* Lol.
Welcome, Tressa! I'm currently working on manuscripts, too. It's so hard to finish one between school and work!
I'll read Across the Universe with you, Rachel. But I have a lot to read this month, so it'll prolly have to be in September if that's okay...
No prob! Ooh, I've been wanting to read that one! Let me know what you think!
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
Paranormal/Supernatural/Otherworldly
Across the Universe by Beth Revis (Brittany)

Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green (Brittany)
Please join us this month in reading Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater!
Synopsis: For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf—her wolf—is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without.
Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human… until the cold makes him shift back again.
Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human—or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.

You don't have to participate in the Group Read - it's entirely up to you, but if you read the book along with us or have already read it, we would love to hear your comments, questions, thoughts, etc. That's what makes the Group Read fun! Please keep from posting too many spoilers early in the month, though, as people might still be reading it. If you feel that you might "spoil" a part of the book by commenting, be sure to put something like "***Spoiler Alert***" or something to let others know to read at their own risk! And make sure to have fun!
Please join us this month in reading Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire
Synopsis: INTENSE. DANGEROUS. ADDICTIVE.
Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University’s Walking One-Night Stand.
Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby wants—and needs—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’s apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.
