[Tracy]

Hi, I'm Tracy Rozzlynn. I read and write YA fantasy and science fiction.

I just listed an eBook giveaway in the AUTHORS > Authors Info thread. From what I've read I think that's the correct place to post it. Please let me know if I'm wrong.

[Emma]

Thank you Bluemoon >.<

[Caylie (Team Jacob)]

Hi. My name's Caylie. I came across this club to my friend's profile. I hope to expand my reading beyond just Wings, Twilight, Shiver and Need.

[Brigid ✩]

Hello Caylie! Welcome to the group. :)

[Caylie (Team Jacob)]

@ Brigid Thanks.

[Brigid ✩]

No problemo!

[Heidi]

Welcome Caylie :)

[Deni]

Hello I'm Deni

I enjoy reading YA books although most of them have the similarities. Twilight killed my reading joy for a while but i recovered.

I enjoy reading the Chronicles of Vladimir Todd, Harry Potter, and Rick Riordan's books.

I'm opened to recommendations. I hear the Hunger Games are awfully good/

[Heidi]

Welcome Deni. I love the Hunger Games and disliked Twilight :)

[Deni]

thanks heidi,

haha my sister is a twilight freak -.- imagine living with her...

so what is the hunger games about?

[Heidi]

Um...the HG games is hard to describe because by the book description I actually put off reading it because it sounded like nothing I would like. It is basically a dystopian novel about a young girl in a futuristic world with a gladiator type celebration - except instead of adult male gladiators the participants are all under 18 yoa. It is an action book.

p.s. sorry about your luck with your sisters taste in books. I am hoping all the Twlilight hype dies down once the horrid Breaking Dawn movies are released. I think it is already being replaced by Mortal Instruments fans, unfortunatley for me I don't like that series either!

[Brigid ✩]

*likes Twilight and Mortal Instruments*
*awkward*

[Heidi]

You know I love you Brigid!

[Brigid ✩]

Haha yes I do :D
I love you too! <3

Welcome, Deni! :-) I hope you like the Hunger Games - they are good! I have read 3 of the Percy Jackson books and they are interesting. :-)

Yeah, pretty much. There's a lot that could have been taken out; there's a lot of filler in all the books. Especially the fourth one.

[Cindy]

I'm reading it right now, too. Finally. I had to wait for my daughter to finish it.

[Cindy]

[Laurie]

Hi, I'm Laurie recently addicted to YA books because I belong to a classic bookclub that meets once a month and needed something more modern to read and that didn't take 3 months. I have been into the dystopia books lately and seeing that this group was reading Divergent caught my eye, So I am looking forward to the groups next picks for books.

[Heidi]

Welcome Laurie!

[Manny]

Hello everyone. Feel free to friend me here!

[Heidi]

Hello Andre. Welcome.

[Shawn]

Greetings all. I'm Shawn. I'm a YA author and high school English teacher. My husband doesn't understand why I prefer to read YA rather than 'adult' books. lol. I hope that in this group I will be able to get recommendations of books that I should read and/or suggest to my students, particularly for the kids who read different genres than I do.

Last year my students introduced me to the Hunger Games trilogy, which I loved. At the moment I have just finished The Pillars of the Earth, and am about to start The Help, but the muse has struck and I'm busy working on a new novel. Speaking of which, I will get back to work.

I look forward to hearing your suggestions for must reads!

PS. I welcome new friends who share my reading interests.

[Heidi]

Welcome Shawn! I am an admult who prefers YA so you are not alone. p.s. The Help is one of my favorite books ever.

[Susan]

Hi Shawn. I am a high school librarian who strictly reads YA with sevral of my fellow teachers/friends. Check out my reading blog at

http://mrslightreads.blogspot.com/
for some suggestions. I have way too many to list here. And several of my students got me hooked with Twilight and the Hunger Games.

[Shawn]

Hi Susan- I went to your blog and immediately was suckered into Fury! lol Since my book, Grace Awakening is about the Three Graces, and Meg of the Furies is a key character in the first book, it definitely fits with what is going on in my world at the moment. I'm off to see whether my library has it.

I really like your school librarian blog! I'm going to send that link to my high school librarian and friendly English teachers and see if it sparks any ideas. I have a school website, but I think I will just link my Goodreads profile up to it. I have enough to update with my daily author blog.

Students made me read Twilight and the Hunger Games as well. No regrets! ;-P

[Anna (Literary Exploration)]

Hi!! I'm Anna, I love to read, writing not so much but I hope one day I can be semi-ok at it haha. I love reading Young Adult novels, as well as anything else really, as long as it's good. I'm a senior in college and I'm working towards becoming a high school English teacher, but who knows how long it's gonna take. Right now I'm really into dystopian novels, anything like The Hunger Games, Matched, or Divergent!!

I just started a blog to help me work out my feelings about the books I'm reading and discuss books with, well, myself! HA! If anyone wants to check it out and give me some feedback or follow me here's the link http://literary-exploration.blogspot.... I'm exciting to discuss Blood Red Road!!

[Cindy]

Feeling a bit overdone on dysopian novels right now.

Haha I probably will in a couple months, I always binge on genres and then find something new to get into.
