[Alicia]

Hello everyone! :)
I'm Alicia and I'm so glad that I found this Book Club.
I love reading. I have a huge passion for literature, and writing. I collect quotes as a hobby and I think the perfect day is sitting on the couch on a rainy day reading a good book with a cup of tea and maybe some chocolate.

[Zainab]

Hiya, I'm Zainab from Oz :)
Obviosly, I love reading and I enjoy YA in particular, although I don't like reading them too often cause I get all mushy and carried away in them. I'm in my last year of High School and I'm hoping I can still balance my school work and reading.

[Rachel]

Hey guys,
I'm Rachel and I am a 20 year old college student (full time). Usually on my breaks I just go to a bookstore and sit and read for hours. I love YA books, even though people think I've out grown them. I read more than my friends and am excited to be able to actually talk about the books that I read. :)

[L]

I'm not sure if I did this already, but here I go.

I'm Laur. 23 from NYC. I love to read, just started up again. Hoping I can keep it up. Feel free to add me as a friend if you like.

[Angie, YA lovin mod!!]

Welcome everyone!

[Abby]

Hey everyone! I'm Bhie, I'm from the Philippines. I enjoy reading, fiction, ya, paranormal, anything and everything that I feel like reading.
I joined hoping for more ya book recommendations, what's hot and what's not. And also I'll join challenges if I can. Happy reading fellow bookworms! :)

[Kat (A Journey In Reading)]

Hi everyone,

I'm Kat and live in the Southeast US; I have two grown boys (21 and 19), and my 19 yr old loves to read almost as much as I do. I joined GR 3 yrs ago, and this group tonight :)

I read almost any type of book, but I tend to stay away from full on romance novels. I have recently fallen back in love with YA and thought this would be a great place to find recommendations instead of depending on the "buy me now" shelves in the book stores.

Look forward to getting to know everyone.

[Nicole]

Hello YA readers! My name is Nicole (obviously) and I am a full-time student/mother of 3! I enjoy reading YA because they are just fun to read!

[Shelby]

Hi! I'm Shelby, a junior in college. I'm a creative writing major who still has a healthy obsession with YA Lit, and I'm typing away toward my dream YA writing career. I read plenty of YA all the time, but my schoolwork demands are starting to increase, and I thought joining this group would offer extra motivation toward reading "drivel," as my professors like to call it. ;) I can't wait to get reading!

[Sarah]

I'll be leading the discussion on The Iron King in March. Looking forward to hearing from you'all, so pls mark your calendars and start reading. I'm working on questions now, am a novelist myself, and my favorite book when I was a teenager was Rosemary Sutcliffe's The Mark of the Horse Lord. Sarah Collins HonenbergerThe Iron King

[LauraW]

I am Laura. I currently live in Colorado, but recently moved here from Fairbanks, Alaska. I am a substitute teacher and I have two grown children (and three grand-kitties). My current main reading interest is coming-of-age stories from various countries around the world.

[Sarah]

Great idea to pick a theme for reading. Check out CATCHER, CAUGHT by Sarah Collins Honenberger(me) and SOLD by Patricia McCormick, a national book award finalist about Afghanistan girl sold into slave trade. Google either to see the professional reviews of both books.

[Audiaa]

Hi everyone,I'm Audiaa, and I live in Colorado, too. I'm a college instructor, and I teach science courses. I enjoy reading whatever I want when I have free time. I especially seem to like YA as I've noticed of all the books I've read about 2/3 of them are YA. I also read science fiction, fantasy, and non-fiction. Since I got a Kindle about two and a half years ago, I read much more since I can read while I'm walking or riding the bus or wherever I happen to find a little bit of time.

[Eden]

Welcome to all the new people :)

[Raine The Llama]

Hello I'm Rexi, I'm 17 and I live in London, UK. I'm studying A levels at the moment and hopefully will get to study medicine! In my free time I love to read (and write), review movies and participate in photography projects of the London city landscape.

[Angie, YA lovin mod!!]

Hi guys! So glad to have you here! We have been picking some great books lately so be sure to check them out!

[Sarah]

Hi! I'm about 15 years old I love to read but when comes to writing I can write history papers better then I can write English right now. I hope to one day change that but at this time I am still a big fan of run-on sentences. I love to read and really wish that I had more time to, hopefully that's going to change soon.

[[deleted user]]

I'm not new to the group, but I haven't been on GoodReads in soo long and I miss it. So, I'm just reintroducing myself. I'm Breanna and I am 16 (almost 17) years old. I hope everyone is doing great and I'm excited to be back :)

[[deleted user]]

Hi I'm Rein i just recently join goodreads and this is my first group. Happy reading!

[Shanella]

Hi, I'm Shanella.

[Alicia]

Hey everyone! My name is Alicia, 21, and I'm a student in Ontario, Canada. In terms of YA books, I particularly enjoy YA historical fiction, YA fantasy, YA dystopian and contemporary or realistic YA that covers a wide variety of teen issues. The only YA I don't like is paranormal romance or general paranormal-type YA books. I was in another YA group for a while, but found it very disappointing. I searched out this group as an alternative, and it looks fantastic! I look forward to chatting books!

I also like vegetarian cooking, television and movies. Cheers!

[Amanda]

Hey Everyone,

My name is Amanda 23 and live in New Jersey. I am currently applying to colleges hopefully studying criminal justice and doing stuff with computer crimes. I am working security for a very large company.

I love to read all different kinds of books no particulars catch me. I have this theory that if a book can not grip me within the first 20 pages i have to put it down. I love to take my puppy(pomapoo) for walks he is a playful lil bugger. I enjoy going out to eat mostly italian.

I hope to have so good times here and meet a lot of new people. Happy Reading!!

Hi Everyone!
I'm Samantha C., and I'm a book-obsessed teen. I also love to draw and do ballet.
Some of my favorite books are: Harry Potter series, Hush, Hush, Wings, and Beautiful Creatures. Although there is a huge list of books :) I like YA better than any other because the books are crazy, unique, and fun.

Thanks!
-Sam

[Talia]

[Lesli]

Hi, my name is Lesli Nelson. I am from a small town in Northern California named Willows. I enjoy YA books more then the adult books. I work at the public library here where I live and I read the library books more then I read the ones I buy at Barnes and Noble. I am reading Clockwork Angel right now. It's written back in 1800's in London. Its about shadowhunters, werewolves, vampires and more.

[Mary]

I'm Mary Robinson and I'm a 17 year old senior in high school. I like to read basically anything but YA is my favorite! I'm going to try and keep up with yall and the book schedule but I don't know how that's going to work out. You're reading one of my all time favorite books, Before I Fall, right now!

[Sleepy]

Hi, so I’ve been a long time lurker of good reads, and just recently joined. I enjoy reading, and even more then that I enjoy reviewing and discussing books. This looks like a really interesting group, and I can’t wait to talk about books with everyone!

[Amanda]

Hi new people. :) I'm Amanda, welcome!

Betty, I'm very jealous, I've heard France is beautiful. :) I'm learning a tinyyy bit of French right now too.

This is kinda random, but I love your name Talia! I hope you enjoy it here.

Hi Lesli, I think Willows is a pretty awesome name for a town. Much better than mine, Memphis heh. :) I've heard veryyy good things about Clockwork Angel.

& Mary, I'm a 17 yr old junior in high school. :) I think you'll really like this book club, it's had some really great books chosen for group reads, I've liked every one that I've read, I think.

Lacy, I think you'll definitely like it here, it's one of the best book clubs on Goodreads, in my humble opinion. :)

^I apologize for super long post haha.

[Sleepy]

That's good to hear! I never get tired of talking about books! :)

[Becca]

I'm Becca. (: I'm seventeen, and I just like reading and getting lost in a book that makes you feel like you're in another world, as cheeseball as that sounds. :P

[Marianne]

Hi, I'm Marianne and I'm turning 23 this year. I love love love reading books since I was a little kid.

I'm comfortable being alone as long as I have a good book and a cup of of coffee with me. Reading books always make me happy and soo inspired :)

[Sun]

Hi. My name is Syafiqah. I live in Sabah, Malaysia, where the turtles and the corals live in prosperity in our beaches. hee. I love books very much and I have my personal library in my bed. I sleep with books.
I like reading people's review about books. I don't know why. I just wished that I could be that articulate with words.
Presently I am waiting for my SPM result, which is the college entrance exam equivalent in other countries.
I'm 18, the first daughter of 5 siblings. My mom and dad are still romantic as ever and I wish I would find someone like my dad. I know I'm babbling. I'm really new here in Goodreads. Suffice for me to say, I really really really am obsessed with reading.

[Ann]

Hi everyone! My name is Ann. I am 23 and live in central Minnesota. I am SO looking forward to nicer weather so I can sit outside and read a book...I hate being stuck inside! I love YA fiction and I have recently gotten into paranormal/urban fantasy type books. I also just got a nook, and am absolutely obsessed with anything and everything I can do with it.

[Angie, YA lovin mod!!]

Welcome everyone! So glad to see soooo many new members. I have met a lot of good friends on goodreads in groups and I hope you all do too!

[[deleted user]]

My name's Nelly I love reading, writing, writing, and reading. Did I mention reading and writing? I can't wait to read the next book!

[[deleted user]]

Hi, I'm Dawn...I read YA by default. Well....that's what I say to avoid any embarrassment. ;-) I have 5 daughters (15-22) and I like to read what they're reading so we can talk about it. I have 3 sons, too, but with the exception of my youngest (a 13 yr. old with special needs) they're non-readers. *tear*

Anyway, I truly do enjoy a YA book every now and then. I love books that write like someone's talking and YA books seem to do that as a rule, whereas a lot of adult books are hit or miss. I belong to a book club and have even chosen a YA book for discussion at some point in our 11 years of meeting. I think sometimes YA books are underrated. I'm not so into the paranormal stuff that seems to be a big hit right now...or maybe I just haven't given it a chance?? I don't know, but I'm always open to suggestions and look forward to reading books...PERIOD!!!

[Rachel]

Hello! My name is Kristy and I'm 26. I live in Southern California but am originally from Texas. I love YA science fiction and fantasy. It is my favorite genre. I also have just recently purchased a nook and while I do love it, sometimes there is nothing compared to actually holding the book. I look forward to all the future group reads!

[Amy]

Hi All,
I'm Amy. I'm a library aide at a school district that includes an elementary school and a middle school. I'm currently working towards my masters in instructional technology with LIS/Teacher certification. I am an avid reader of all different genres, but I tend to lean toward YA books. I love the idea of sharing my thoughts on these books and look forward to my first book discussion with everyone.
