Hey people!

I recently found out that we can post blogs here! With we I mean other than the awesome librarians that started this book club! So, I have finished Speak, and the book has now landed in the large group of my favorite books. After, reading Speak I read this other book that was kind of like Speak. But, this book wasn't about rape, it was about suicide.

It's called Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. The book happens in the present but always goes back to the past. This guy named Clay receives a shoebox with seven cassettes. And, when he starts listening to them he realizes that a girl, Hannah Baker who two weeks ago took her own life, recorded them for thirteen people. These thirteen people had some part in why Hannah commited suicide, hence the title of the book. Clay realizes that he is one of those reasons. So, he "borrows" his friend's portable tape player and walks around town with a map, going to each of the places Hannah describes on the tapes. I don't want to give any more away, but once you start reading the first chapter the book grabs you in and you can't put it down til you finish reading.

I can't wait until the next meeting! See you all there!
