Wild Things: YA Grown-Up discussion

It's time for August's group read nominations! If you haven't done this before, our rules can be found here: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/2... If you have questions, please ask.

Our theme for August is Alex award winners! http://www.ala.org/yalsa/booklists/alex You may nominate 2 books, one that is themed and one that is not. Please label your books as themed and non-themed. Nominations will run for about a week.
As the Alex Award is given to adult books that appeal to teens, this go around, the non-themed book may (but doesn't have to) also be an adult book that you think would appeal to teenage readers.

Don't forget to check the group's bookshelf for books we've already read. http://www.goodreads.com/group/booksh...

Please include authors' names when nominating. Authors may not nominate their own books!

Thanks!
