book suggestions for a book club?
I have a book club with a couple friends and their moms. We are 15-16. We all are huge readers, so we have read all the usual books.
Any suggestions welcome!

In my book club at school we read:
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian
A Season of Eden
The Story of a Girl
Tyrell
Also I would recommend:
The Hunger Games
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
The Adoration of Jenna Fox
A Book of a Thousand Days
Hope this helps!

This book is pretty popular so you guys probably already read it, but since it's so good I'll suggest it anyway: The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins. It's set in a futuristic world, in the point of view of 16 yr. old Katniss Everdeen as she fights to the death in an arena - called The Hunger Games, takes place every year while everyone else is forced to watch the event. It's very suspenseful, well-paced, and the best series I have ever read. If you haven't already read them, then I highly recommend it for this book club. Some other books I've read this year that I've enjoyed:
The Forest of Hands and Teeth - Also set in a futuristic world, except with zombies. A little strange and kind of depressing, but a good read, nonetheless.
Shiver/Linger - A paranormal romance between a werewolf and a human girl. It's kind of cheesy, but not too over-the-top, and has some pretty interesting twists that tend to throw you off guard. It's a cute read, I enjoyed it.
I haven't really read many good books this year, so that's all I got. I suggest googling top ten young adult books and looking at your options there.
Hope this helps :)

Google up Smashwords and click on the link. Then download The Long Way Home. It is written for girls in your age bracket - and their moms. I think you will enjoy the story. It's adventure, history, survival - and no vampires.
