Hi! My name is Élodie and I am a new member of this group:) I am 17 and live in Canada. I love reading YA books, especially fantasy and contemporary novels! My list of favorite authors includes Cassandra Clare, Rainbow Rowell and Morgan Matson. I am currently reading Queen of air and darkness and I am planning on reading many more books in the weeks ahead:) I love listening to music while reading since it helps me concentrate.
Last little facts about me, I have 2 dogs that I absolutely adore and I would love to become a psychologist in the futur!
Hi everyone! I'm Maya and I'm 22 from Canada. I love reading YA fantasy novels and my all-time favourite series is Harry Potter! I also love reading books by Cassandra Clare, Sarah J Maas, Renee Ahdieh, and more!Besides reading, I like to write stories, play video games occasionally, and binge-watch TV shows. I'm also interested in science which is why my dream job is to become a physician.
Hi everyone! I'm Dez, I am 26 from Winnipeg, MB, Canada. I love crime, suspense, thrillers, and young adult books. I do not usually stick to just one author, I usually choose a book just based on its blurb. My other hobbies include watching documentaries and reality TV. I watch a lot of Hockey *Go Jets Go* as well. My dream job would be in the marketing/advertising realm. I joined this group as a way to find people to discuss books with and hopefully expand into new genres.
Excited to engage with everyone!
Hi people! I'm Isabella, but you can call me izzi or Bella. I am 13, turning 14 in June. Both of my parents are fully Portuguese, and so am I. I love fantasy and contemporary, and two of my all-time favorite series are The Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins and The Sisters Grimm by Michael Buckley. I hold these series close to my heart because I read them when I was smaller, and instantly fell in love. One of my favorite authors is Suzanne Collins because she knows how to create an interesting and captivating plot and setting. I also love the Hunger Games series. Another author I love is Becky Albertali because I think she writes the best contemporary novels. I like to read and draw, so listening to audiobooks while I draw is prime time happiness and escape. It also lets me express myself while being immersed in a world I love deeply. I don't currently have a specific dream job as I am so young and naive, but I am interested in Photography, Business Management, and teaching. I joined this group because I love YA. I started reading YA a few years ago as I have always been one of the advanced and avid readers in my class. I still enjoy reading middle-grade books because they are just so funny and fun to explore. I also joined this group so I can make new friends with some of the people on here who can read with me, and recommend me good books that I should read. I have been reading alone since I was four years old, and have ventured from picture books, to small chapter books, to middle-grade, to YA, and am starting to dip my toes into adult literature. I have almost experienced it all. I hope you all learned a bit about me, and I hope this is not too much to read as you all love to read as much as I do. Hopefully, I can make some reading buddies on here, and I hope to join in on some of the reading fun soon.~izzi
Welcome Dez and izzi!!! Make sure to check out all of out different topics, games, and challenges going on, and contribute some ideas to the competition/challenge week thread if you have any! :)
Hi 'bookworms'.I am Abiduzzaman from Bangladesh. I am 17. I love Science (mainly human physiology, biophysics, astronomy) a lot.
Sometimes my relationship with Science doesn't work well.Then I have to return to my old love-'literature'. (This is a very confidential info. Please don't share it with Science. She will break up with me. Then I won't be able to be a researcher and win a Nobel Prize).
Some of my favorite books are.
- To kill a mockingbird.
- All Quiet on the Western Front.
- The Old Man and the Sea
- Little Prince.
and more..................
So why am I here? I have recently realized that I have not read a single YA book.I hope you will help me to choose some good stuffs, won't you?
I love playing chess and gazing at night-sky.I feel extremely good when I can help people.
Welcome to the group Abiduzzaman!

This is indeed a group- full of creative people. I have already started enjoying.
Thank you once again for creating such a wonderful group.
Hello, my name is Melvina. I am 13(ish?) years old and I am currently residing in the Philippines (it is really something hard living here--you can hardly get any english books... there's literally only one or two bookstores that sell them. Really, I'm a little offended that people don't read here [I'm assuming]) and I'm from the US. My favorite books are the ToG Series, ACOTAR series, Rick Riodan books, much, much more and the newly-finished Red, White and Royal Blue. Usually I prefer series with about more than three books because why not and my dream job is to be a lawyer that works in the UN.
I simply did not know of this group's existence until (*giggle) Unicorn/Tessa introduced me to it. I may not be as active as others mainly because my nose is always sticked to a book, plus I hardly go on my devices except when I read online. And well, I joined it not only because Unicorn recommended it but also because I actually wish that there would be a group basing off on YA books because this is where I can 'talk' to others about it.
By the way, I'm totally fine with ADULT content books. AND DON'T SAY I'M TOO YOUNG FOR IT because...ah, nervermind (actually I also think I'm too young to read these types of books...). But never the less, I still read it.
:) Thank you. I'm sorry for talking so much...credits if you could read ALL of that--I'm pretty sure I wouldn't myself. :D Anyway, I'm excited to see what's on this group!

I'm sorry you're having trouble getting books over there. I just wanted to say, there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with not wanting to read adult content in books. I'm almost 18 and I still don't like reading that stuff (I normally just skim/skip it if it happens in a book I'm reading), so don't be ashamed about your reading preferences. To each their own, and if you don't like reading about certain things, then who cares? You do you!
Hey!So, I am Domitylle and I am French, though, I speak english fluently.
I love fantasy, mythology, young adult, sci-fi (...) books and I also love when there is humor in them!
I love Harry Potter, PJO and HOO and Tara Duncan!
I really like Rick Riordan, Sophie Audoin-Mamikonian, J.K.Rowling and a bunch of other amazing authors!
I like to dance, play piano and read.
I'd like to be an astronaut even though I know it's almost impossible... 😅
I joined the group because as I read the description of it, it looks amazing and it looks like it's talking about stuff I like talking about and also because I myself, am a bookworm!
And that's all about me! (at least a part of who I am)

Hi Domitylle,
my name is Monika, I am German and live in Brittany (Cotes d'Armor, Bretagne) and I write novels in English (UK). In everyday life I speak mostly French and people call me Monique, but unfortuntely I don't speak French well enough to actually write books. I do teach English and or German sometimes, though.
I have written a YA fantasy novel, "What if?", it revolves around the war for Troy and the Amazons, in case you are interested. I'd be happy to exchange a copy (e-book or PDF) for an honest review.
Monique.
hey, i'm Rebecca and i'm a bibliophile who loves to read.*sits down in circle*

Hi! I'm Azure and I come from the UK and I love everything to do with books. My All-time favourite series are: Harry Potter, The Hunger Games and The Infernal Devices. Favourite authors are Cassie Clare, Maggie Stiefvater, Marissa Meyer, Alex Bracken and I love YA fantasy, dystopia, royalty, historical fiction and classics. I'm kinda introverted and extroverted, I run around trying to get people to read, and I'm constantly bombarding everyone with my love for a particular book, especially while reading it. That's why Goodreads is so great, because sometimes people I know can get a bit annoyed of my endless ranting for books. Here, it's not only allowed, but encouraged! Another fact: I don't like YA contemporary and rarely read it. When reading a book, I want to escape into a different world: be it completely made up, set in the future or the past, or involving some sort of secret cult in this world (cough Shadowhunters cough). I don't want to be reading something ordinary, about normal people, because that's usually a bore to me. The romance is - most of the time, or in what experience I've had, at least - nothing special too, because most of the book is taken up by it, instead of being a sideplot like in a fantasy. The only contemporaries I actually like - a lot - are TATBILB and Five Feet Apart. :)

Hi, my name is Maya, I am from Canada, and I am thirteen years old. I love reading pretty much anything that's fiction. I'm not as into those happy-go-lucky kinds of books, though. I am part of the Toronto Swim Club, and I also enjoy writing, singing, and visual arts. I can usually be found swimming, reading, or sleeping. I adore animals. I have two rabbits and I'm getting a Bernese Mountain Dog. I want to be a professor, but I'm not sure which field yet. oineI jd this group because I thought it would be fun. (Also because my friends kept inviting me.)
