I'm gonna nominate my own
again, since it wasn't chosen for June and I'm stubborn :) LOL (Seriously, pick a book you really want to read and feel free to ignore me.)

I'd like to nominate
by Stephani Hecht.The blurb:
Being a gay teen is hard enough, but when Christian's strict father is transferred to a different city and Christian has to go to a new school, he discovers how much worse things can get. Fortunately, before he sinks into depression, Christian finds a new group of friends, who are also gay. Christian soon learns that his friends have their own problems, from desperately seeking attention to abusive family members.
This is the first book in an exciting new series that follows the high and lows of Christian and his friends through their senior year as they seek acceptance and love while dealing with hostility and homophobia. Will all of them survive to see graduation... or will they lose somebody along the way?
I'd like to nominate
, too. Mostly because I want to read it, have it sitting on my floor, but need an excuse right now. And as I need to read more and want to be more active in this book club... that's my reason. :) Plus I heard it's good, as Brandon said.
Vote will go up at the end of tomorrow - if there are other candidates post them within the next 24 hours please.
That sucks...I wanted to nominate my novel...lol...next month...lol...

It's so difficult to chose one when every book of the three is great....
