The Secret Garden.This book has been on my TBR list for awhile and this morning I took the "Which Classic Book Are You" quiz on Facebook and it said, "The Secret Garden". I guess I NEED to read this book!
*looks at her shelf of library books that are YA* Do I really only have to pick one? *sighs* I nominate...

Ooh, can I addThe Thiefby Megan Whalen Turner? Otherwise Howl's Moving Castle looks good, I need to re-read it after watching the anime THREE times last week!:)
Anime is Japanese animated films.. they generally are geared towards young adults and adults and have more adult themes. They are definitely NOT little kid films.

I have started it but never finished it so I thought that I would nominate it... especially with the new one out!

I feel a little silly, but I had nominated the Book Thief, but know I will vote for Maus. Does that mean I need to take back my nomination?

NO! (Although I'll vote for Maus too, just so I have a rock-solid excuse to buy it.) *wink*

Can I second 2? Maus and I am Messenger, both have been cqlling to me but I haven't gotten aorund to either yet.
I'll be brave and nominateThe Graveyard BookbyNeil Gaiman.
See there, Fiona? I never nominate books because I'm afraid people will hate them if they're chosen, but in the spirit of getting your group up and running, I just officially made my first nomination in any group ever. A historic moment.:-)

I'll probably just change my vote towards the end anyway:P when it gets close and there are only a couple contenders.

I do that, too. You never know how voting is going to go, but it's nice when your vote matters!

And just leave it open for a couple of days. That way we can start reading!!
