I love the idea of us doing round robin picks and recommendations.
I have been wanting to read
Bravely which is a Disney story about Merida from
Brave. I don't know if anyone is into that. It sounds like it might tick a few folks' boxes. It is by an author I adore (Maggie Stiefvater), and I know it is gonna be awesome.
@Cactusflower - what was the painful read?

Do people want to start with
A Series of Unfortunate Events? It sounds like several people are into that one.
YA authors I know are good include Tamora Pierce, David Levithan, Maggie Stiefvater, Laini Taylor, Francesa Zappia, and Mercedes Lackey.
Eee, this is exciting! I used to do buddy reads all the time with people on GoodReads, but then sorta stopped. I have missed them.
