I'll start :)

Hi! I'm Leah. I'm 13, and I live in Connecticut, in the USA. I love Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, every book by Wendy Mass, The Divergent series, My Life in Pink And Green, Long Way Down, Ash Princess, Everlesss, Hooper, Wild Bird, and Honor Among Thieves. Those are the books that came to mind, but my list could go on forever. Seriously. I like YA, realistic fiction, some sci-fi, fantasy, some historical fiction, and mystery. I am looking forward to reading The Weight of Our Sky. If you are looking for a good book to read, I recommend The Whiz Mob and the Grenadine Kid, Wild Bird, or Honor Among Thieves. I like playing basketball, field hockey, volleyball, and dancing. I am into art, crafts, conspiracy theories, and the Human Body. When I grow up, I'd like to be a pediatrician. I started this group to meet other people, and so they would have good books to read all the time. How about you?

HOBBIES- watching drama+movies, learning languages( in the process), don't like sports but used to play basketball in school

DREAM JOB- psychiatrist as of now but if i find something else that gives me joy i am gonna switch up

REASON- i am already in a few groups but having a conversation is quite difficult since most are quite age conscious, so hopefully we can all talk comfortably without any restriction
😊

Hi everyone,
My name is Hannon, and I live in Connecticut, USA. I am friends with Leah (she added me to this group). She and I both go to the same school. I love the series Keeper of the Lost Cities. I also play tennis and I play the clarinet and the piano. I have absolutely no idea what I want to be when I grow up -- all I know is I am DEFINITELY not becoming a doctor of any sort. Also know I am a total grammar freak. As a suggestion for this group, I think we could all read the same book and then share our thoughts about the book (I'm not sure if that has already been discussed, if so, please ignore this.) I am really excited to be a part of this group!


message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

Thanks for joining Hannon! And we are doing a group read. There is a poll that decides what book we will read. Give your answer!

And the book that I assume we are reading for May doesn't have bad language as I remember, but does involve flashbacks of the MC using drugs. If that isn't okay, then feel free to sit out this month. We will try to accommodate your preferences for another month.

message 15: by Raynah (new)

Raynah Hello everyone! My name is Raynah and I’m from Canada. My favourite genres at the moment are fantasy and historical fiction. I absolutely love Harry Potter and Six of Crows, they are probably my favourite series ever. Some authors I like are Leigh Bardugo, John Green, Rainbow Rowell, Adam Silvera, and Stephen King. The book I am most looking Dorset to reading is King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo. When I’m not reading I’m usually watching Netflix or YouTube. I also enjoy conspiracy theories, true crime, and strawberry milkshakes. I’m hoping to be a mental health counsellor but I wouldn’t mind also being a writer.
I’m so excited to be apart of this group!

Harper Nicole (harpernicole) Hi, everyone!! I'm Harper, and I live in the US. My favorite genres are Fantasy and YA Fiction. My favorite books are The Hunger Games series, The Harry Potter series, and the Fablehaven series. I highly recommend all!! I'm really looking forward to reading Dragonwatch book three when it comes out in October. I love to sing, play piano and flute, read, write, and draw. AND GLORIFY GOD IN EVERYTHING I DO, of course. I used to play basketball when I was little, but I'm not playing any sports currently. Well, if I could be good at anything and be able to do exactly what I want, my dream job would be and actress. Especially in a superhero movie if we're getting technical. But, what I want to be when I grow up is either a graphic designer, or an interior designer. I would love to join this group, 1st, because I love groups, and 2nd, because it sounds like a lot of fun. And I love being apart of new groups and watching them grow. I don't have any suggestions as of right now!!
I'm super excited to join you guys! And thanks!

My all-time favorite books are the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling and Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery! I am currently looking for good books to read because I read most of the books I'm interested in. Some of my hobbies are playing the violin, reading, brush-lettering, and just binge-watching YouTube videos. My dream job is to be a physician, or somewhere in the medical area. I'm excited to meet new people in this community!

Hello and Welcome!


message 28: by [deleted user] (new)

Hello, I'm Abi and I am a highschool student living in the USA.

I enjoy non-fiction, classics, horror, and manga. My hobbies are reading, playing the guitar & piano, doing art stuff, and watching Youtube and anime. I also game (nowadays it's mostly osu! & indie games I find on steam that look interesting). The only sport I currently play is basketball.
I'm not sure on what I'll end up doing for a living, but I know that I'd like to study Physics in college, and possibly minor or double in Mathematics.
I want to be apart of this group because it's just easier to talk to people in the same age range here. I'm sure you all get that. I'm down to get involved in any group reads or activities you guys set up.
Well, as for book recommendations, I've got Found Audio and Dark Traces which are both not well known gems (in my opinion). If any of you are into Mystery I recommend giving these a try.

lyssa ☆ (a1yssa3) Hi, I'm Alyssa. I live in Michigan where it is normally very cold and winter always overstays its welcome. My favorite genre is probably fantasy. :) One book i am looking forward to reading is either Red Rising or Truly Devious. I like writing. I want to be an author when i am older. I play volleyball, and love animals :).
I dont know what i want to be when i grow up. I still feel like it is a unknown factor in my life right now, but i dont want to really think about that know.

I want to be in this group because i want to share my thoughts and opinions with all the other writers out there!

Some recommendations i would have for the fantasy lovers would be either I Am Number Four or The Prisoner of Cell 25

mystery: The Name of the Star

Amazing main female character: The Wrath and the Dawn

message 36: by Katherine (new)

Katherine | 14 comments Hi! I'm Katherine and I'm from New York but my mother is portuguese. I'm 15 years old and I read any type of books but I prefer YA books. My favorite books are The Mortal Instruments series, The Infernal Devices series and The Dark Artifices series (by Cassandra Clare), Throne of Glass series (by Sarah J. Maas), The Falconer series (by Elizabeth May) and a portuguese book named Inverno de Sombras (in English the name would be something like Winter of Shadows).

I want to be part of this group because I want to know more teenagers who like read and talk about my favorite books


message 37: by [deleted user] (new)

Welcome! I believe Ali, one of our other mods started a Throne of Glass discussion. Check that out!


message 38: by nix (new)

nix (udontknowme) Hi! I’m Nix! I’m from the Philippines! I like reading young adult novels! Right now, my favorite is All the Bright Places. I still have school now, but am really looking forward to reading more during the break. I used to play softball, but not anymore. I draw (well more of doodle) a lot though! I’m not quite sure what I want to be when I grow up. Probably a businesswoman. I want to be part because I want new friends. I’m also pretty new to Good Reads, so yeah! :)

Benny (bennyroben) | 9 comments Hi, I'm Zoey. I'm from South Africa. I love to read, Paranormal, fantasy, science fiction, romance and Y/A. I basically read anything involving fiction. I'm 15. I'm looking forward to reading a ton of books so I can't really pinpoint my start up right now. I have dozens of interest, you can probably call me a multipotentialite. I wanted to join the group because, well, I like reading and sometimes I get in a stump where I don't know what next to read and sometimes the lists don't work for me so I decided to join a group. First group I'm joining, I might add. Haven't got any suggestions, so far. Thank you for letting me join.


message 42: by [deleted user] (new)

You're very welcome! We're happy to have you! We have a book suggestions thread, and there is a book request feature on Goodreads as well. Also, you could PM anyone for a good book to read.


message 43: by Harper Nicole (new)

Harper Nicole (harpernicole) Welcome, Zoey! I hope you enjoy yourself here!

I’ve always love reading and my favorite genres are YA, fantasy, thriller.
For example, I love Percy Jackson (even if I haven’t read all the books yet), Harry Potter (I’d been in Ravenclaw but Hufflepuff is great too), Fandom, Bookjumpers, Rebel of the sands...And I’d like to read the Eragon saga.
Besides, I love ballet and I play the piano. In this period, I’m also into space.
I think being in a group of people with my same interests is great, because finally I can share my passion with someone who understands me!
