[Lady Ivory Rose]

Hey, I'm Emily Rose. I'm a teen and a young writer, so I look to some books for inspiration. I love Sarah Dessen and she's the greatest inspiration of all to me because I used to live where she teaches.

Welcome!

[Sara - Book Happy Girl]

Hi - I'm Sara. I'm 33 years old and I love YA fiction. I read adult fiction as well, but YA is a quick fix to get quality stories into my busy life.

[Sean]

Hi

I'm Sean. I'm pretty new to Goodreads and this group as well. I write YA fiction (Going Nowhere Faster, and Fade To Blue, which just came out a few weeks ago). I also read pretty much constantly, but go through phases where I read a lot of YA and then don't read any at all if I'm in the middle of something and don't want to be duly influenced. I voted for A Wrinkle In Time for the latest read because it was definitely one of those Rosetta Stone books for me way back when and would be great to re-experience as an adult. I'm living in Seattle at the moment, where rain is a myth. It has been perfect reading weather for months.

thanks for having me

[Bria]

Hello everyone! I'm Bria. I am a 26 year old living in Colorado. I recently completed my Masters of Library and Information Science with a focus in School Library Media. As of yet, I am not working as a School or YA/Children's Librarian, but I hope to be soon. I chose my focus not only because I love books, and especially YA and Children books, but because I have a passion for sharing my love of books with kids.

Telika please follow the group rules and advertise your book in the Goodreads Author section. You can introduce yourself here, and mention your novel but place the advertisement in the author section. Thanks!


Welcome everyone! We have been reading some excellent books lately! Hope you enjoy!

[Ellen]

Hi everyone, Guess I'm a little late to this party, but better late than never, right? I'm Ellen Hopkins. You're reading my book, IDENTICAL, in September. Will be interested in your comments.

[Alicia]

hey, I'm AliciaRenne :] I'm still in highschool and I hope to get more serious about my writing when I hit college. I'm taking early college english classes so that I can hit creative writing once I get there. I am an OCR. Yes, my reading is rather obsessive and more than a little cumpulsive. If and when there are bags under my eyes, you know I've been up late...reading.
I read usually 1-3 books a day. When I'm not reading I'm writing or thinking about reading or writing, I'm playing tennis or with my friends.
My favorate words are ellipsis and asphyxiation... No idea why. Aren't words wonderful? My fave YA books are "If I Stay," by Gayle Forman and "Just Listen" by Sarah Dessen.
You're never to old for YA books. :]

[Linda G.]

Hi, I'm Linda Davis, author of the recently published young adult fantasy fiction novel Celtic Portal: Insula Sacra. Now working on book 2 in a series of seven. I am a voracious reader and love non-fiction as well as fiction. During high school, I read every book in the fiction section of my school library.

[Angie, YA lovin mod!!]

Humm... not sure about you? Why didn't you register as a goodreads author?

[Lisa]

Angie, Good point. It's beneficial for author members to register as Goodreads authors!

[Angie, YA lovin mod!!]

I feel that as a moderator of the group I need to make sure that is really Ms. Hopkins to make sure the group isn't scammed by a fake. I am sure Ms. Hopkins would understand.

[Lisa]

Angie, Thanks for being so diligent. I have my suspicions as well.

[Laura]

Hi my name is Laura and I was invited here by my friend Emma. I love reading, obviously, and I'm one of those people who has to go into a book store with limited amounts of money.

hey my name is Angelena and I'm a senior in high school. I have read way too many books to be able to count them all. I joined this group because I saw that most of the books read here are ones that I have read or have been meaning to read.

I'm so obsessed with YA books. I'm trying to tone it down a little so I can do well in college, but I still go through a few books a week!

When I'm not reading (or living), I'm blogging, so you can almost always find me there!

[Angie, YA lovin mod!!]

Welcome everyone!

[Jill]

Hello fellow readers! My name is Jill and I am a mother of 4 children. My daughter is 13 and 3 boys ages 2, 4 and 6.

I grew up reading all kinds of books. Once I was in college my pleasure reading took a nose dive. Since becoming a mom I've read here and there but it's really been over the last 4 years or so that I've lost myself in books on a regular basis. Of all books, it was the Harry Potter series that did it. I love bookstores. I love to just walk into them and smell the scents of paper and binding glue and feel the excitement of so many stories just waiting to be read.

Over the last year or so my sister-in-law and I have become enthralled with the Young Adult literature. My daughter is an avid reader also though our tastes tend to be polar opposites. I love fantasy and sci-fi but she doesn't. I'm looking forward to book suggestions this group will make!!

[Tara]

I'm Tara. (Everyone else: Hi Tara) And I have a reading problem...

Ever since then, I am YA book crazy. And I just recently created a YA book blog where I post reviews, updates, and contests on anything YA!!! Check it out: http://www.blackandblueink.blogspot.com/

[Angie, YA lovin mod!!]

Welcome everyone! You are just in time to read this month's book pick!

[Stephanie]

Hello everyone!

I teach high school Spanish and I have been reading a lot of books from and promoting them in my classroom. I am really trying to read more books that my students are reading and share with them some fantastic books I am reading. They have been very receptive - some students are already reading some of the titles I tell them about, and our school librarian is ordering more and more books from the guide. I belong to two other YA groups and moderate a couple of groups on my own. I read about 1-2 hours each night, and try to squeeze some in during the school day at lunch if I have time. I have been home sick A LOT lately, so my reading time has quadrupled! :)

I look forward to reading YA lit with you! Thanks for having me!

[Mickie]

Hi All!
I am Mickie and I live in the midwest. I am an office monkey with aspirations of finally putting my MLIS degree to work by breaking into the rock-n-roll world of teen librarianship.
To keep up my chops I read lots of teen lit and volunteer at my local library. I am really looking forward to reading with you guys--what a great group!!

~Mickie

[Zoe]

Thanks! -Zoe

[Iroquois]

Hi all!
Just joined the group,and LOVE YA books. I read all genres but YA is my fave :)

[Angie, YA lovin mod!!]

Welcome guys! It is so great to have so many people who are enthusiastic about reading YA in the group!

[Adam]

As part of a marketing promotion, I am giving away copies of my novel, The Janitor. Below, I have included a brief synopsis of the story. You can contact me on goodreads or visit www.AdamDecker.com. Thanks for your time.

What's it about?

Roman Swivel is a seemingly meek and mild mannered transfer student that joins the ranks of Collingston High School's senior class and works as a student janitor. Roman immediately finds himself on the radar of the school's big man on campus and is ridiculed by his sheep-like classmates. Appearances can be deceiving, however. For beneath the surface, Roman is a gifted genius with unbelievable talents and a haunted past wrought with violence and tragedy. Hounded by his former mentor Agent Johnson, and a shadowy government agency known only as the NN, Roman seeks refuge and normalcy in this peaceful Midwestern town, where he'll unexpectedly find friendship, love, and belonging. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to our hero, his choice of towns will also set him on a deadly collision course with its seedy underbelly, the demons of his own past, and ultimately his own fate.
