Welcome! Here's a few questions to get started:
What is your name?
What is your favorite books/author/genre?
What do you like about book clubs?
What are some books that you really want to read?


message 2: by Maya (new)

Maya (pankratzmaya) | 101 comments Mod
I'll start.
My name is Maya and my favorite author is John Green. I also love horror novels. I'm going to start reading the Cirque de Freak series by Darren Shan, super excited for that!


message 3: by Michelle (new)

Michelle Graf Hi, I'm Michelle! I love John Green, too, but I also love J. K. Rowling and Diana Wynne Jones. I really want to read A Game of Thrones, and I just checked it out. It's a nerd essential by now, I feel like I have to at least try it.


message 4: by han⚢ (new)

han⚢ Hi, I'm Hannah :) I LOVE John Green and Julie Kagawa! One of my favourite books is probably The Fault in our Stars (it made me cry...). I really want to read the Harry Potter books as I haven't read them yet :/ But a book I am SUPER excited to start reading is Allegiant by Veronica Roth, which is coming out in exactly A MONTH!! So yeah, that's a little 'bout me :D


message 5: by Maia (new)

Maia Stefansson Hi, I'm Maia. I love J.K. Rowling and Jodi Picoult. I really loved reading "Divergent" and "Insurgent" so I'm also excited about the upcoming Allegiant. I don't know what I'm going to start reading, there are so many options that it is really hard to choose... Any recommendations?

Have you read the Matched trilogy? I'm not a huge fan, but all of my friends love the books. They're a lot like the Divergent series!


message 9: by Maia (new)

Maia Stefansson No, I haven't read it. Thanks for the recommendation :)


message 10: by Charmaine (new)

Charmaine Hey I'm Charmaine. I am a big reader of YA especially the ones with big adventure and action plots (e.g Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, TMI). Yea, I'm also the only reader out of all my friends so its hard to talk about books with them. Are there any book recommendations?

I can empthaise with you there... none of my friends read, so I can't talk to them about books :(
If you liked the Percy Jackson series (which I'm currently reading :D) I suggest The Goddess Test. Although there is hardy any action, it is full of greek mythology!

That's fine, I'm pretty backed up on my reading too :)


message 16: by T.L. (new)

T.L. Searle | 2 comments Hi. I'm Tanya. I love YA books. I read and write them. Fantasy romance are my favourite but I'm also into paranormal and sci-fi stuff depending on the story. I've read quite a few books. I like the hunger games by Suzanne Collins, Alexa O'Brien series by Trina M. Lee, the Ava delaney series by Claire Farrell, Frey by Melissa Wright and the Celestra series by Addison Moore to name a few. I've just joined this group and am in lots of other groups focused on YA books on goodreads.


message 17: by Georgette (new)

Georgette (georgette_f) | 3 comments Hey! I'm Georgette. I'm really into dystopian novels, and series. My favorite dystopia is Divergent trilogy. I really like John Grenn and Cassandra Clare. It's my first time in a book club, but I really like discussing books and characters with people! My book wish list is pretty extense but, right know i'm just dying to read Allegiant! I really can't wait!!!


message 18: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn Hello!

I'm Kathryn, a new book lover. My heart definitely lies with fantasy, though I am still fresh blood to the genre. I love how it can make you escape to a world and place you would never have dreamed possible.

I am hoping to make a few friends on here so please do not hesitate to adding me as a friend :)

Look forward to getting to know you all!


message 19: by Deborah (new)

Deborah Rix (deborah_rix) | 3 comments Hey. I’m Canadian, I live in Toronto with my family. My favourite position for reading a book is head almost hanging off the couch and feet up in the air with legs against the back of the couch.
Some of my favourite authors are William Gibson,Douglas Adams,Kurt Vonnegut Jr., and Philip K Dick.
I’m also a Goodreads author. My book is YA sci-fi so I’ve been reading too much Scientific American and not enough new books lately. Hoping to change that.

Deb Rix


message 20: by Michelle (new)

Michelle Sims (michelleellengrace) Hey guys nice to meet you all and be part of this group. I'm Michelle I'm 19 from Australia no shocker that I love to read Y/A books particularly dystopian, supernatural, scifi stuff but I also dont mind contemporary and crime. I am pretty much open to anything with a really good plot and strong characters.
I love book clubs ability to bring people together through a shared passion for books.
I have a huge TBR list and a massive pile of books right next to me I'm so excited to read, including Delirium by Lauren Oliver, Gameboard of the Gods by Richelle Mead and the Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken.
Feel free to friend me if you have similar books interests :)


message 21: by Stephanie (new)

Stephanie (nerdatlas) | 6 comments Hi, I'm Steph.
I like to read a lot of stuff, but I've been gravitating towards gothic/horror novels.
I love book clubs because I can find someone who has read the same book as me and share my love for that book with someone else.
I would love to read more John Green. I will mostly read anything actually. :)


message 22: by Trinity (new)

Trinity Hi everyone! My name is Trinity and I can't wait to see you guys around the group! :D

Hey, my name is Danica. I've loved to read ever since I taught myself how when I was 4. I tend to jump on the bandwagon and lean towards YA series. I've never been in a group like this, so I'm interested to see how I enjoy it, but I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!

message 26: by Emma (new)

Emma Olsen (emmanoelleolsen) | 19 comments Hi everyone, I'm Emma.
My favorite books might just be all Jane Austen novels ever written. I love novels of the Young Adult, Romantic, Comedy, Mystery, and Action/Adventure genres. I like book clubs because it's reading... but with friends!
Some books that I'd really like to read are the second and third books in the Divergent trilogy, and The Selection trilogy.
I'm looking forward to my time in this group and getting to know everyone here!

message 28: by Cheyenne (new)

Cheyenne Lingle (flightlessssbird) | 1 comments Hello:) my name is Cheyenne. My favorite book is Perks of Being a Wallflower. My favorite series is The Hunger Games (not trying to sound cliché, but it really is). I've never been in a book club, but I think I'll like the proposition of new books. Lastly, I'll read just about anything!


message 29: by Ashley (new)

Ashley Day | 3 comments Hey there. My name is Ashley. My favorite book is Eragon or anything by John Green. I read pretty much every genre, but I like to stay in the realm of young adult. I also have my own book blog which I update at least once a week. It would mean a lot if you guys checked it out. (www.lumosbooks.weebly.com) <3

Welcome Ashley. :) hope you enjoy being a part of our club!


BooksWithMyCoffeeBlog | 1 comments Hey my name is Ashley. I love reading and always have sometimes I feel like books are all I have to talk about. So after debating for months I finally started my own book blog and even though it is scary I am really enjoying it and working hard to get the blog to where I would like it to be. I do more than just book reviews I do date ideas to go along with the book. Recipes that are inspired by the book I am reading at the time. Outfit ideas to wear to the movie premiers, and of course tea recommendations to go with your book. I normally always read YA books and don't care how old I get I don't think that will ever change =) a great story stays amazing no matter how old you get =)

message 37: by Kenna (last edited Jan 31, 2014 07:48PM) (new)

Kenna (keenatoad) | 61 comments Hey guys! My name is Kenna, I have recently become more interested in YA sci-fi but it is extremely rare for me to not like any book that I read. Currently, I am really looking forward to when the third book in the Lunar Chronicles, Cress, comes out and I also can't wait to read Timestorm, the third book in the Tempest series. I have never been in a book club but I really enjoy discussing books in my English class and books that my friends and I have read.
Cress (Lunar Chronicles, #3) by Marissa Meyer Timestorm (Tempest, #3) by Julie Cross

Hey Kenna! Glad to see you accepted my request. ^^ Good thing you like sci fi since that's february's topic! I really hope you enjoy this club, it's pretty small but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, I think it makes for better discussions when the topics aren't crammed with messages. :) Anyways, thanks for joining and I hope you stick around.

Monica | 2 comments Hi! My name is Monica. I like reading mostly YA. I think my favourite authors (right now) are Jane Austen, Stephanie Perkins and Rainbow Rowell. I really enjoyed Legend by Marie Lu.

message 43: by Jess (new)

Jess X | 7 comments Hi! My names Jess; I'm 16 and from England. My favourite book is Dear John or the Delirium trilogy. My favourite author is either Nicholas Sparks or Lauren Oliver. My favourite genre is romance or dystopian or a mixture of both. I like book clubs because it's a chance to socialise with different people and talk about a variety of books. I want to read the last book in the delirium trilogy called Requiem and I really want to read a fault in our stars by John Green. I've only recently began to read again as I was always too busy. Does anyone have any suggestions about books for me to read because I'd love to hear them :)


message 44: by Kacie (new)

Kacie (kaciethach) | 224 comments Hi my name Kacie, I am only 10 but I read high school level books. My favorite book is Divergent by Veronica Roth. I am from Tennessee, USA.
My favorite genre is fantasy, adventure, and romance. The book I am reading now is insurgent the second book of the three in the divergent series.
I think the book we should read Maze Runnet.


message 45: by Kenna (new)

Kenna (keenatoad) | 61 comments Hi Jess! Besides reading The Fault in Our Stars as soon as possible, and Harry Potter which I noticed other people have been convincing you to read, I think you would also really like Divergent which is romantic and dystopian and amazing!


message 46: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca | 17 comments Hi I'm Becca. My favorite author is J.K. Rowling (I love the Harry Potter series). I like fantasy & sci-fi novels. I'm currently reading through the Eragon series again since I've never read book 4. I'm not always a fan of Paolini's writing style... but the plots are still pretty interesting.

I've never joined a book club before, but this seems like a great place to learn about new books and authors. I like the Young Adult genre so this group is perfect! It will also be interesting to discuss new books, and ones I've already read (like Harry Potter-- I see we're supposed to read one a month :) )


message 47: by Aubrey (last edited Mar 08, 2014 09:39PM) (new)

Aubrey Morelock (amorelock08) | 1 comments Hi! I'm Aubrey and I love to read anything! Right now, my favorite genre is young adult. I love authors like J.K. Rowling, Jennifer Armentrout, Wendy Higgins, Rick Riordan, Veronica Roth, and Pretty much anyone who can tell a good story. I enjoy reviewing books and blogging about them. I've never been able to be in a book club because my friends can't keep up. I read a lot ;) I want to have somewhere to discuss the books I read though and to make friends who like books as much as I do! I hope I'm going to find that here.


message 48: by Maya (new)

Maya Barker | 1 comments HI I'm Maya, I like John Green and Rick Riordan. I'm in to most genres I guess. My mum's a writer so I read a lot, differently more than most girls my age. I want to start reading the divergent series soon.

message 50: by Jocelyn (new)

Jocelyn Reyes (jocelynreyes) | 18 comments Hi, my name is Jocelyn; im 14 and from tennesse. my favorite genre is between young-adult and paranormal. I don't really have a favorite book or author; I am very open to all sorts of books and authors. I love the fact that book clubs are free to everyone and they are open to all sorts of opinions. I would like to read any good books that are recommended.
