Hi there. :) I'm Jordan. I am a huge nerd (books, tv, film but mostly books). I love to read and I am trying to get back into YA because I stopped reading it when I started getting into classics and more adult fiction/non-fiction.

Hi all! I'm Danie, I'm 22, and I'm a full-time nanny. I read quite a bit, most of it YA, so I figured this would be a great place to join!Also, I'm a book blogger, and I run Booktacular at www.booktacularworld.blogspot.com . You should all come check it out!
Can't wait to chat with all of you!
Welcome to the group, Danie!:)
Hey, I'm Alex. I'm 16. I love to read! I love reading paranormal/fantasy books that have some romance in them.
Hi, I'm Charlene.. :) I love reading books, I mostly read YA's, but I also like fantasy, mystery/suspense and historical-fiction books.
Hi everyone! My name is Sam. I love to read YA books, but I also read other genres. I have a book review blog: http://sikbookreviews.blogspot.ca/
Hi! I'm Steph. I'm turning 21 in two weeks. I'm a college student who spends all of her down time reading (YA mostly).
I'm Jamie, 27, but it looks like I'm far from the only one here over 18 (or is it 21?). I doubt I'll ever stop reading YA.
Hello! I'm Rininta - you can call me Rini by the way. I'm 20 years old and still love reading YA :p Nice to meet all of you and hope we can be friends! :)
So I just joined GR (oh, right, Hi, I'm Rebecca) and reading Ellen Hopkins page is what brought me here. I hope I don't get kicked out for this but, I probably won't read the books y'all read (yeah, I'm from the south) because I simply have other books I want to read. And maybe because you guys chose "Fifty Shades of Grey" a while back to read, and I personally refuse to ever read it.
Hello everyone! My name is Sara and I am a huge lover of YA. Some of my favorite authors are Rachel Caine, Cate Tiernan, Madeleine L'Engle, Philippa Gregory (her new YA is awesome), Lissa Price and I am a sucker for the Cirque du Freak series, ever since my husband randomly picked out the first book for me to read in the library. :) Also! If ANY of you could possibly help me to discover the author of this mystery YA book I read a while back, I think it was called Cell Hell (also another gem my husband randomly picked at the library, ha ha) I cannot find it at all...ANYWHERE. It's making me crazy.Anyway hello again! I am also a newly self-published author of a YA horror novel titled Who is Audrey Wickersham? I am very excited to be a part of this new group and I can't wait to find out about more YA novels that I haven't heard of yet!
Hi all. new to goodreads and I'm just poking around. this looks like a good place to find new ya. I love young adult books, but I find it hard to avoid the 'looks great, reads awful' stuff. I love recommendations for that reason!
Hi, I'm Daisy and I just recently got hooked on YA books. Until now I read mostly classics. I'm a "passive-aggressive" reader - I read tens of books in a short period of time and then don't touch any for months. Looking forward to read your reviews and reading suggestions :)
Hey, I'm Adam and I just last month joined goodreads and have found so many books thanks to it, many of them YA so I thought I'd join this group especially since I just recently read the monthly book and LOVED it so i'm hoping this will be a good place for more.
Hi, I am Ryan. I have been on Goodreads for a while, been looking for a good club or group of people to talk books with. Mainly looking to see what others are reading and frankly just books that I normally wouldn't pick up.I do my own blog review thing, if you would like it send me a message. I tend to keep the books I have read updated as soon as the review comes out. I have the last two months books on the shelves, and will get around to them, just a lot of books to get around to at the moment :P
Hi, Everyone! My name is Doug and I write young adult novels. Before writing books, I hammered away at screenplay after screenplay in hopes of getting a job in Hollywood. I even produced some short films locally. But then I switched to writing books and particularly fell in love with YA literature. As a writer, I think there's so much possibility inside YA for a wide-range of different types of stories, more so than many adult genres. I joined the group because I want to find out what books and subjects you guys like to read about. Plus, I'm a book fan just like many of you!BTW, Courtney Summers rules! I'm so glad you guys are going to read CRACKED UP TO BE. Parker Fadley is a great character.
All the best,
Doug Solter
Hello!! My name is Jalyn and I'm 27. I'm married and a stay-at-home Mom of 3. I love to read and YA is my favorite genre :)
Hi! I'm Jenna (in my 30's) and I love reading, but often go back and forth between reading all the time and not reading at all. I love YA for a lot of reasons, but one main reason is they're easier for me to read (I have a learning disability when it comes to reading and sometimes if I read too much or the content is harder to process, lines become blurred and letters float around to make different words). I've found that if I'm in a book group, I read more. I'm also a writer who's trying to get a feel for YA books before trying to write one myself.
Hello! I'm Trish. I guess I joined a week or so ago.I REALLY love your challenges. It's a great way to feel inspired to read things I normally wouldn't.
And I LOVE seeing everyone else's list.
This group just seems really great with your comments and topics. I can't wait to get to discussing books with everyone!!
:)
Hello! I've been participating in challenges and games, but I just realised that I've never actually introduced myself... Oops...Well, I'm Shelley - or Shaleezah. I don't really mind which. I'm an aspiring YA writer and I try to read as many books as I can, given that school seems to bombard me with tests and assignments constantly...
I really do love the challenges and can't wait for the next quarterly challenge! :D
Hi. My name is Kyla Marie Rich. I am 15. I am a bibliophile. I am a writer. I am homeschooled. I am the oldest of 4 kids.Not much else to say. I could tell you my favorite books/authors or music or movies or tv shows, but that would take too long.
~Kyla Marie Rich : )
Hi! I'm Jacqueline. I have unfortunately been on a book hiatus for a little while now. But recently I have found the motivation to start up again and check out goodreads again. I've missed it all so dearly. If you have read any great new books, please let me know and don't be shy to request me. Thanks. (:
Hi! I mostly read contemporary YA, although I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter and the Hunger Games. My favorite books of the moment are The Fault is in Our Stars, King of the Screw Ups, Anna and the French Kiss, and Hate List.I'm also an author, but won't list my books here!
I love book clubs, and have belonged to one for the past 11 years.
Hi, my name is Natalie. I really love books and look forward to picking up the October book! I can't wait to get in and discuss, I really love analyzing and talking about books! Um, i'm not really sure what else to say, but i'm glad to be here.
Hi! I love to read and write and my favourite genres are realistic fiction and science fiction mainly, but I read a lot of other genres as well. My favourite books right now are probably The Fault in Our Stars, Perks of Being a Wallflower, Uglies, and The Giver. Yeah, that's about it.
I just love love reading about all the new members here. Reading each person's story is so interesting and it is neat to see how we each ended up on a road where we enjoy YA Books!!!! Welcome!
Hi, I'm Erika. I love to read, and find the YA genre has some of the most interesting books...from "Holes" to "Harry Potter," to the "Hunger Games." I am interested in the paranormal, especially ghosts.
Hi everyone, my name is Anna and I am seventeen years old. I absolutely adore reading, writing, and book hunting (whether it be online or in a bookstore) Other things I enjoy doing are: taking morning walks, watching movies, taking pictures with my dad's old film camera, discovering new bands, traveling, staying up late, blogging, and tweeting. I am a PROUD bagels and cream cheese, coffee, tea, and Nutella enthusiast!! I am a shy, observant person, but I can be outgoing around certain people. I love meeting new people, so please do not hesitate to talk to me or anything. :)

Hello Anna welcome to the group!
Hello All,I have been stalking and reading for a few months with this great book club but now decided to say Hello!
My name is Tiffanie, 26, from Twin Cities, MN. I am a book addict and tend to always have a to-read pile of at least a dozen or so. My favorite YA books are "Harry Potter" Series, "Midnighters" series, "Uglies" Series "the Fault in our stars", "the Giver", and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower". Just to name a few :) I am also a complete nerd who loves to Sew/Quilt, play games (specifically card/board games), pokemon, BSG, BtVS, and Doctor Who! and I look forward reading the monthly book as well as the challenges :)
Hello, Hello! My name is Marie-Michel, I'm 22 years old and I'm from Québec.
Some of my favorite books: The Shade Series by Jeri Smith Ready, The Fever series by Karen Marie Moning, The ghost and the goth series by Stacey Kade, The Hunger Games series, The Harry Potter series (of course!), The Host, Graceling, The wicked lovely Series by Melissa Marr, Something like normal by Trish Doller, Forget You and Going too far by Jennifer Echols, Unsticky and You don't have to say you love me by Sarra Manning, Under the never sky, Across the universe and many many others!
I also wanted to say that english isn't my first language so maybe you'll have trouble understanding what I write sometimes.
If you have any question, don't hesitate.
Hey! My name is Kateroonie (not really) and I LOVE books and LOVE writing YA books as well though I never seem to be able to get any where with them. READING ROCKS! :D
Welcome to the group all new members!:)
Hi! My name is Megan and am 21 years old. I love reading and almost always have a book in my hand. Though I do love YA novels, I'll read just about anything, and I may be slightly obsessed with Stephen King!Recently started my own book blog which focuses on YA books - http://booksiview.com/
Hullo, I'm Julie and I'm 18. I mostly read realistic YA fiction, with my favourite books including The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Fault in Our Stars, Dash & Lily's Book of Dares, Going Too Far and Saving Francesca. I'm always open to recs. ;D
Heya, i'm Demi aka the LibraryFaerie. I love reading in general and will read most genres but especially young adult so don't be afraid to hit that friend button or message me I also love recommendation so you can send me some too. :)
Hey everyone, my name is Kelly. I love reading, as does everyone else here (which is a wonderful contrast to my neighborhood, where I'm STILL deemed "that girl with all the books"). Favorite genres are fantasy, paranormal, and a growing fondness for contemporary. I'm a total girl in the fact that I love me some romance in my novels, and a total fangirl in that I call dibs on my favorite fictional heart-throbs way more often than a 22 year old should.I've decided to become more active on this site so I can get the full advantage of meeting new people and discovering new books. Hope to meet a few of you! ^^
Hi I'm Elicia and I just love YA books!!! I love Milo a lot. My favourite books are the Mortal Instruments series and the Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare! I also have a book blog with my friend and partner Chloe . Anyone who wants to check it out can go to this link:

Hello! I'm Bex and I'm from Sweden *waves*
I'm a 20 year old student who've always loved to read, but I've never read quite as much as I do now! Between my reading and listening apps as well as psychical books, I'm never without a book to devour. :D While I read most genres, YA has become a huge favorite this past year and I can't seem to get enough of them!
