Hi, I am a Young Adult Book Lover, who is looking forward to reading this book, I have had it on my TBR list for a bit, and truly looking forward to this book.
I am a Mom to a 4 year old monster, I say that in the nicest of ways. Living in Maine, myself and my wonderful Bf, spend about 3-5 days a week at the local library. Reading is truly a great way to relax.
TV. If kids are entertained by two letters, imagine the fun they'll have with twenty-six. Open your child's imagination. Open a book. ~Author Unknown
I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves. ~Anna Quindlen, "Enough Bookshelves," New York Times, 7 August 1991
Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book. ~Author Unknown

Hi, I'm an English major with a love for young adult lit, because I write it myself. I always have about 4 or 5 books I'm reading at a time, but I'm really looking forward to making the time for this one! The last Teen first look was a lot of fun and the book was really good, so I'm hoping that this one lives up to my expectation! I can't wait to receive the book and begin discussing it with you all ![]()

Hi everyone!
I'm another YA book lover & book blogger. I'm also a mom & work FT, so reading is my way of escaping real life sometimes, lol.
I've had this book on my TBR pile for months & my heart is still racing from seeing it on here! Looking forward to reading so many great YA books coming out this year.

This is the first time I have ever signed up or done anything like this and I'm really excited to see how this all works.
I love to read, it is one of my favorite things to do. I'll read 5 books at a time and never get confused. I love how lost into the stories I become when reading, it's like I place myself as a character in the story. Reading to me is like a vacation, you can go anywhere in the world, anywhere in time, and never leave the comfort of your bed or couch.
Looking forward to this book and all the discussion we will be having.

Hello fellow reading fans!
I'm very honored to sign up for this particular book club because it hits my favorite genre: Teen books.
I'm currently a third year in my undergraduate studies and I'm majoring in Liberal Studies (in other words, I want to be an Elementary teacher).
Again, thank you for this opportunity and I look forward to discussing the book with everyone very soon!
-Jess ^_^

Hello everyone!
This book looks great, can't wait to read it. I am a librarian at a public school in Montana. It is my dream job and so much fun I can't even tell you. I have two boys taht I am trying desperately to get into reading a husband that is starting to come around after many years of non-reading.
Nice to meet you all and I look forward to sharing the book with you!!

Hi I'm Karen and even though I'm 57 I still consider myself a YA. Never getting old is my motto and the YA category I believe has had some of the best books in recent years. I did the last "teen first look" and it is one of my favorite books. My daughter teaches high school English and we love to read these books and talk about them , I just let her know this is a YA month so she can tell her students or read the book herself.
I love to read, play games and facebook on the computer, and really would love to have a nook. I've been reading on my iphone lately but think the nook would be better. I still love to read real books best but sometimes like traveling and e-reader can really help.
Welcome to all!!

In the past I have read several YA books and found them engrossing, well written and invaluable for me, a dinosaur, in my attempt to understand the younger generations and what concerns them. In addition, my daughter has a website which rates and reviews childrens books so I find it a great means for us to communicate as well. I have helped edit the reviews so the more I read the better I become.
Some other YA books I have loved are The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, The Hunger Games, Chasing FIre and The Book Thief.
However, Paul, if you find that you do not have enough of these to go around to all the teens who wish to sign up, I would gladly give up my copy and read it on my own...Unfortunately, that won't allow me to participate in the discussions which I love, but that is a small price to pay for kindness.
