I came up with the idea for a book club (it's in the Suggestions Board) and was wondering what books everyone would want to read if we could get a book club going. Post what you would want to read here!
Edit: Doesn't anyone have any suggestions?

I've been told by a mod that the books have to be PG-13 and under, no sex scenes or drug scenes. Does that fall into this category?
I was thinking of a book called Page by Tamora Pierce.

I never heard of that book. Is it new? Stargirl and Loser are PG, so no worries there

It isn't new but isn't really widely known either. Ratings on those books aren't a problem either. I haven't heard of Stargirl or Loser, what are they about?
It looks as though if this does happen just you and me will be participating though. Then we could just read whatever we wanted and talk about those books!

Well Stargirl is about this really weird girl in a Arizona high school and Loser is about this boy's stories from the 1st grade to 5th grade and him being classified as a nobody.

Okay, I'll join. A book I'd vote for is Midnighters or Uglies, both by Scott Westerfeld.

(I don't have much time and i forgot how many pages it was cuz i borrowed it from the library) Loser took me about 2 weeks to read, but both books are really worth your time

I'll join! I listened to star girl on audio, I like doing that at night and while I'm working so I can get more things done. we should read books by lois lowry, she's my 3rd favorite author. Some of her books that I really like are messanger, gathering blue, the giver, and nearly anything else she's written. we should also read twilight and new moon. they are THE BEST BOOKS EVER!!!

Thanx for joining waterlilly! I never read any of her books, but I have heard of her. People say she's a great author. I would also recomend reading TTYL, TTFN, and L8R G8R. I forgot what the author was but its a very cool series to anybody who likes IMing. Its basically about these 3 best friends going through troubles at High School

Thanks for joining everyone! Try to limit your choices to just one book from each person and then we can decide what to read from there! Also, post a short summary for us too so we know what they're about.

OK, then we should read Twilight. It's about a girl who falls in love with a vampire. If I tell you too much it will give everything away. IT IS REALLY GOOD!!!

That does sound like a good book. Is it PG-13 or under?
