Book 2: Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

Our second book will be Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher!
Blurb from the back cover:

Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers thirteen cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker, his classmate and crush who committed suicide two weeks earlier.
On tape, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out how he made the list.
Through Hannah and Clay's dual narratives, debut author Jay Asher weaves an intricate and heartrending story of confusion and desperation that will deeply affect teen readers.
I read it a few years ago and it was good!  I think I will set a date for three-ish weeks from now for our next meeting, so people can figure out when they need to start it to read it by the next meeting.  Everyone invite your friends!  Come to the meetings!  You don't want to miss another awesome meeting's like this week's (there were zombie-themed cupcakes!).  See you at the next meeting :) 

Also to look at:

These books are 'companions' to our first book, The Forest of Hands and Teeth.  For the Amazon summary and info, go here and here.  According to our fellow book-clubber Maria, they're really good!
