March book club nominations - VOTING

Our voting seems to go over, so I'm hoping we'll have a chance to figure out things sooner this time around

March has no theme, so feel free to nominate your heart's desire!

Nominations should be the first in a series, or a stand-alone novel.
Please include a book cover and synopsis for everyone's benefit.

Go!

Since I am reading this one and I love it.



Once upon a time there was a girl who was special.

This is not her story.

Unless you count the part where I killed her.


Sixteen-year-old Alison has been sectioned in a mental institute for teens, having murdered the most perfect and popular girl at school. But the case is a mystery: no body has been found, and Alison's condition is proving difficult to diagnose. Alison herself can't explain what happened: one minute she was fighting with Tori -- the next she disintegrated. Into nothing. But that's impossible. Right?

I'm not sure if this one has ever been up before but if it hasn't -


Touch of Frost #1 of the Mythos Academy series by Jennifer Estep

My name is Gwen Frost, and I go to Mythos Academy — a school of myths, magic and warrior whiz kids, where even the lowliest geek knows how to chop off somebody's head with a sword and Logan Quinn, the hottest Spartan guy in school, also happens to be the deadliest.

But lately, things have been weird, even for Mythos. First, mean girl Jasmine Ashton was murdered in the Library of Antiquities. Then, someone stole the Bowl of Tears, a magical artifact that can be used to bring about the second Chaos War. You know, death, destruction and lots of other bad, bad things. Freaky stuff like this goes on all the time at Mythos, but I'm determined to find out who killed Jasmine and why—especially since I should have been the one who died. . .

I thought this one would be a good nomination because its been out since July or August 2011 so library's may have it for those that don't have e-readers.

I have a kindle copy and a paperback, I love Jennifer Estep enough that I knew I'd enjoy. And I bought the short story on kindle 'first frost' and thought it was intriguing.

I've read up to 4 in the Elemental Assassin books, and they're really good. I'm excited to see her with YA, I'm almost postive Elemental Assassin, Karma Girl books, and these are all in the same universe because Gwen mentions karma girl is her favorite super hero and that she lives in the same town that Gin lives in, in Elemental Assassin Series.

I might as well nominate one of my favourite books:



Quote:
In this emotionally charged novel, Jodi Picoult delves beneath the surface of a small town to explore what it means to be different in our society.
