Introduce Yourself!
Hi everyone,My name is Liz and I LOVE to read all sorts of YA - fantasy, sci-fi, paranormal and romance - to the point where I know I have a serious addition - just ask my husband! I'm always wanting to know about other books to read even with an over-flowing TBR list.
Looking forward to being part of this group!
Hi, I'm Sidney. I love reading mostly YA fantasy, but also some sci-fi and mystery. I really liked Throne of Glass, Cinder, Six of Crows, and Poison Study.
Hey there! I am Le-an :D I was a teenager a year ago but I'm staggering through my twenties like it's my first time to walk. Thank god we can read books sitting down (and lying down)! I do not have a specific YA genre that I love - comedy, romance, paranormal, I love them! :) I also am an author, and a literary agent on the hunt for the next big thing ;)
Hello all! I just found this group and am quite intrigued. I would have to say that Twilight is what sucked me into YA books- before that I would only read true crime, so I've climbed out of my comfort box. My daughter is at the age of reading these books as well so it's fun to read this genre of books together! Feel free to add me as a friend- always looking for recommendations. :)

My name is Julie and I am an adult (36) addicted to YA. I am also a writer and I like to write in the YA genre, so it makes sense that I read a lot of it. I am addicted to high fantasy but urban fantasy, fantasy, magical realism, and even sci-fi are great, too. I don't get into the contemporary much but I'm starting slowly. I started a booktube channel about 2 months ago and that's opened my eyes to a lot of new books and authors so I'm exploring the YA genre a lot frequently these days. I cannot wait to connect with more YA readers.

I have never participated in a thread on here, but what the heck! Why not.My name is Erin and I'm 22 from the USA. I'm a book blogger and my perfect book would have to be a perfect mix of fantasy, suspense, and romance.

Recommendations for new books would be great, chatting about new or old books is fun and I love sharing my thoughts about them. Nice to meet you all!
Hi, My name is Judith and I'm (gulp) 71. I've been reading YA books all my life. In fact I got fired from my first job as a copy editor for a NYC publisher for hanging out in their children's library instead of working at my desk. Back in those days there was no YA category, but the books were still there.I'm excited to join the group and look forward to reading more books. Recommendations, please.
Hi... I'm Dahlia Karlin, an author, musician and definitely way over any age that might be considered a teen. I love reading YA because I'm very interested in stories about teens that deal with some sort of struggle. My interest comes from personal experience with one of my children.

Hoping to narrow down the must reads of MG and YA.
