message 763: by Briar (new)

Briar (bookishbatty) Hi, I'm Madison. I live in VA and have for most of my life (I lived in NC for a few years, and TN for a couple of months). I'm almost 21 years old, I'm married and have been for 2.5 years, and I have a 19 month old daughter. I've always like YA books, even though some people pick on me for still reading them. What can I say? I find them to be the biggest escape from the world.


message 764: by Kayzee (new)

Kayzee | 180 comments Oh yay Madison I am with you.... The escape is the truest thing when you have a family!!!

message 767: by Montana (new)

Montana | 1 comments Hi, my name is Kelsey Montana. I'm a HS Junior and am currently being home schooled. I hope to one day major in Creative Writing and become a published author.
My favorite types of books are (YA) fantasy and sci-fi. And I generally tend to stick with books that are immensely suspenseful, sick, and twisted. I guess I'm a little weird in that way. Thanks for having me!

message 784: by Natasha (new)

Natasha (tasha_13) Heyy guys, I'm tasha and i'm from the UK and i'm addicted to YA novels!!


message 785: by Jim (new)

Jim hi Jamiey. as a whole, the nicest genre of authors i've met are the romance authors. series romance or bodice ripper, doesn't matter they are quality people. went to a couple romance conventions in the 80s and 90s, and several booksellers shows and store signings. Francine Rivers, Katherine Woodiwiss(?) and their husbands were great! others would stop by the store and sign copies while passing through town. met a lot of series romance authors that also worked street fairs. the first romance authors signatures i got were around the year you were born. damn i'm old.

What a nice thing to say! Maybe it's the constant pursuit of a happy ending that makes romance authors so friendly. :o)


message 789: by Lani (new)

Lani (crahfty) Hey y'all! I'm a 30 year old mother of one and love YA. I just started reading in September, but I think I've made up for lost time with averaging 3 books a week. Who knew I'd be a quick reader!?


message 790: by Katrina (new)

Katrina (katrinamonroe) 3 books a week? Wow! That IS impressive.


message 791: by ✰Marissa✰ (new)

✰Marissa✰ (marissaslibrary) | 10 comments Some of you are posting whole biographies on here! I'm much less interesting. I'm a high school student in British Columbia, Canada. Once I get a book I have to finish it within a few hours. My favorite genre is fiction, but I'm not crazy about historical. And I want to be a writer, journalist, or psychologist. And I'm saving up to go with the Canadian charity Free The Children to India when I'm 17 because I really want to build a school with them and I'd want a job like that if it didn't pay so little : ) And of course I love YA books.


message 792: by Kayzee (new)

Kayzee | 180 comments Oh wow I have been so naughty and not posting ( for some reason it dosnt send to my emails anymore) welcome everyone... I been a bad welcoming comittee these last few weeks

Joyzi (joit) | 2 comments Hi everyone, my name's Joyce, I'm more of a YA contemporary reader. My favorites are THG, HON, VA, Twilight, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Mortal Instruments etc etc...

message 796: by Sami (new)

Sami Salvatori (sami_salvo) | 4 comments Hello everyone!

My name is Sami and I live in Nebraska. I have always loved to read and write. I joined the sight after my English teacher told me I would like it. SInce then I've been on it all the time.

I hope to be a YA published author some day but right now I am content writing for myself, my friends, and my English classes.

I love all YA and thought this would be a good way to find new books.

Can't wait to see more.


message 797: by [deleted user] (new)

Welcome, Sami. What grade are you in? As a YA author, I visit local middle schools in the Nashville area and speak to kids all the time about writing.


message 798: by Shannon (new)

Shannon (shannon_scoville) | 3 comments Hi folks. I am adult and highly enjoy reading YA books. I am a reading teacher and work with 5th and 6th grade students. Glad to be reading with you!

Elizabeth Isaacs (eisaacs) | 15 comments Welcome Shannon
Nice to meet a fellow teacher, but you'll find quite a bit of them on Goodreads (one of the many reasons I love this site!)


message 800: by Marsha (new)

Marsha Sigman | 3 comments Hi, my name is Marsha and I am an aspiring writer in the MG and YA genre. I read everything but I think YA speaks to the part of me that still believes anything is possible.
