Book Grub Grad Party

Yesterday, almost all of the members of Book Grub showed up to celebrate the end of the school year. Former group members Sara and Marissa showed up to hang out with us, too! Seven members of the group are graduating this year, which is our biggest number ever. Our grads are David J., Arwa E., Meg G., Koumudi N., Jeff B., Nitha S., and Katie B. We will really miss them! At the meeting, we had a build-your-own-cupcake table, as well as a table of favorite Book Grub foods like Cheetos, Fanta, and Pirouettes. We talked about memorable Book Grub moments, favorite/not favorite books of the year, and what we've been reading. Of course, we got off topic a lot, but it was fun!

I didn't write down who said what, but here are some books suggested by members of the group:

• Dead Is the New Black by Marlene Perez
• Little Brother by Corey Doctorow
• What I Saw and How I Lied by Judy Blundell
• Hero-Type by Barry Lyga
• All We Know of Heaven by Jacqueline Michard
• The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
• Being Nikki by Meg Cabot
• Jerk, California by Jonathan Friesen
• The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
• Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
• Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind
• Waiting for You by Susane Colasanti
• Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen (coming out on June 16)
