Vote for June's Book Club Selection

June's Book Club selection poll is now posted in the sidebar! Vote for the book that you'd like to read in June!

Choose from these three amazing books:

Audrey, Wait! by Robin Benway
The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
If I Stay by Gayle Forman

The poll closes May 27th and you may only vote once per computer.

Happy voting!

I also wanted to say a HUGE thank you to A.S. King for letting us discuss The Dust of 100 Dogs and her participation. You're awesome! Thank you!

First month of the Book Club down...

Since the first month of the YAedge Book Club is almost over (and what a great month of discussion it was!), I thought I would gather feedback.

What would you like to see in the future from the book club?
What did you like/dislike?
What can I improve?

The YAedge Book Club is for you (I do have to admit, I had a blast this month discussing Evermore) and I want to hear from all of the people who participated or just followed along. Please feel free to let us know anything having to do with the book club in the comments below.

I will be posting a new poll to vote on the reading selection for the month of May, along with all of the new month's posts starting again April 1. Included in the poll will be the second place winner from the previous month, along with two new selections.

Thanks to everyone who participated in our first month! I consider it a great success!

Evermore- The Final Discussion

I thought it would be best if we finished off the month with new discussion questions, since your perspective can change once finishing a book. This thread of comments may contain spoilers. If you haven't finished Evermore, please do not click the comments section, assuming you don't want parts of the story revealed to you.

Below are a few questions I thought would be interesting to throw out to the group, based on the discussions going on in the previous discussion thread. Please feel free to add any questions in the comments you would also like to discuss. Also, keep in mind, just reply to a question or someone's answer if you'd like to respond. Keeping the discussion clean and organized is the key to a fun talk!

If you are new to the group, before commenting please review the FAQ and rules.

Don't forget, the poll for April's selection ends March 25. If you have yet to vote, please do so. It's a tight race!

Thanks again to Alyson Noel for letting us discuss Evermore this month!

Final Questions (based on completing the book):

1. After finishing the book, do you think the lesson or meaning of Evermore changed from start to finish? How?
2. In the first discussion thread, a few of you mentioned being suspicious of Damen. Did your feelings for him change by the end of the book? How did that affect your like/dislike of Evermore?
3. A few of you also mentioned your frustration with Ever. Did your view(s) change? For the better or worse? Again, how did that affect your like/dislike of Evermore?
   
4. What will you take away with you from reading Evermore?
   
5. Do you think the book is portrayed properly (cover, back cover copy (or jacket flap), etc.) in stores/media?

REMEMBER, COMMENTS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!!

Next Month's Book Poll Closes March 25th!
