:: ABOUT THE BOOK ::
Summary: Thirteen Reasons Why is the story of a girl named Hannah Baker who takes her own life. But before she does, she records several cassette tapes explaining why and sends them to the people she feels pushed her toward that decision. The story is told from the point of view of Clay Jensen who spends the night crisscrossing his town with Hannah’s voice as his guide. He becomes a first-hand witness to Hannah’s pain, and learns the truth about himself—a truth he never wanted to face. The anti-bullying anthem was published in hardcover in October 2007 by Razorbill, and quickly became a word-of-mouth favorite among teenaged readers with fans claiming, “This book changed my life.” The novel has been on the New York Times children’s hardcover bestseller list for 65 weeks, foreign rights have been sold into 30 countries and it has been acquired by Universal Pictures and will star Selena Gomez.

I stared at this book the other day at B&N and added it to my mental list. I'm ordering some books next week and I think I'll try and fit this onto it.
I've always meant to read this one but have yet to get around to it. It sounds amazing! Thanks for the reminder!
I've wanted to read this book for so long, but haven't had the chance to yet. Thank you so much for the chance to win it!
And wow to the comment above mine from Alyssa, I'm glad I'm not the only one who hasn't read it yet.
