We'll be reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky during February. It's a short but emotional book, and we hope you'll join us this month.

Just remember to hide spoilers just in case someone hasn't read it.

I've had this book forever and have never picked it up to read but it will read this month!

It's my favorite book! I really hope you read with us this month.

I read the books a few summers ago and I could really relate to the main character Charlie and the struggles he went through. He reminded of of myself, because I have some learning differences and social anxieties.

I loved this book! It's been a long time since I've read it though. Maybe I'll do a reread this month :)

I read this book about a year ago and it's still one of my favorites! It's so good.

My favorite book ever! I want to re-read it but I'm waiting until my last month of high school to re-read it again.

Excellent choice! :)

I loved this book! I want to re-read it but don't have time..

How's everyone liking Perks?

The movie is at Target for under $10! It's a really good adaptation, and if anyone's interested, we could do a movie talk on Tuesday (Feb 29).

I'm re-reading Perks for the 5th time. I loved it the first time, and I'm loving it the fifth time.
I loved the movie, but I don't own it yet. I'll probably buy it soon though. A movie talk would be awesome!

I just finished reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It was a fun read. Charlie is certainly a unique character. I like the way he tells things just as he sees them.

There were a lot of references to things that really set the time period ( such as the Rocky Horror Picture Show). I wondered if younger readers knew what these things were or if it mattered to them when they were reading the story.

It seems like people liked the movie. I'm going to give it a looksie. :-)

I think kids still know what Rocky Horror Picture Show is. I know I knew what it was when I was younger. I just wasn't allowed to watch it. lol

I loved the movie!
