[Seth]

Hi Nicholas, Vered, and Tori! My whole family hates books. It's kinda depressing, actually.

[Julianna]

Hi everyone!

Tori, my family and friends are the same. I've been trying to get my mom to try Harry Potter for like a decade. She broke her leg 3 years ago and couldn't do much so I acutally started reading it to her...no dice, she just wanted to watch tv. lol

[Tori]

my moms the only one in my family who reads BESIDES ME. and as for my friends they read some but were they read maybe a book in a couple of months I've read 3 in one week and its no fun to have anyone to talk to about new books :P

[Christina]

Hi everyone,

Excited to have a group of fellow YA lovers. I'm always on the lookout for new books to dive into. Currently I'm devouring the Hunger Games series.

[Heidi]

Welcome Christina. Love the Hunger Games.

[Christina]

Thanks for the welcome, Heidi!

[Rebecca]

Hi! I am Rebecca. I have been posting on the discussion boards for the past few days but I think I should introduce myself. I am 20 (almost 21) and I love YA books. Sci-Fi and mysteries are my favorite but I will read pretty much anything but I am not into paranormal books so anything but that.

[Heidi]

Welcome Rebecca. I'm not into paranormal books either!

[Christina]

Thanks, Bluemoon! Ya'll sure know how to make a girl feel welcome!

[Sara]

Hi everyone! My name is Sara, and I just joined a couple days ago. I joined because YA books are how I became an avid reader, and I don't think I could ever 'outgrow' them.

[Kara]

Hello all!
I'm Kara and despite being in my 30's still LOVE my Y/A books. My favorite being the hunger games. I for one think they are doing a great job with the cast of the film, and can't wait to see it! I have read a few other dystopian books (matched, Delirium) And niether have lived up to my expectations,Any recomendations?

[Heidi]

Hello Kara. Love the Hunger Games and super excited to see the movie next year. Have you read ? It is the only series I liked as much as Hunger Games this year.

[Shaneace]

hello all you new people lol :)

[Brigid ✩]

So many new people! akd;fj;sdkf;sdkf
I've been totally out of the loop lately.
Well um HI EVERYONE. My brain is like ;AKDJF;DSJ right now, because a) today is my last day of high school, and b) I'm high on caffeine.

YES. Those books CHANGED MY LIFE.

Hi, I'm new here. My name is Sophia. I love YA books, especially fantasy!

[Heidi]

Welcome Sophia!

[Kara]

I have not even heard of that series. Thats why I love this site! I life changing series is on its way from amazon. Thanks you guys!

Yay! I have read so many great books since I joined Goodreads. Kara just be warned that the first book does take some getting used to because the protaganist is illiterate. Once you meet the girl it all picks up.

[Kara]

Oh thanks for the tip! Have you read unwind? I have read good things about that.

[Heidi]

I liked Unwind it was good. I wouldn't say I was totally in love with it, but it is def. worth the read. I think I gave it 4 stars. It was one of our former monthly reads if you want to check out the thread for it.

[Tori]

hey i just started a blog does anyone have any tips id really appreciate it cus i have no idea what im doing lol http://torisbookshelf.blogspot.com

[Seth]

Hi Eden, Christina, Rebecca, Sara, Kara, Sophia, and Tori!! And on the subject of The Hunger Games/Chaos Walking, Chaos Walking wins. By miles. I get in a bad mood when someone even MENTIONS the Hunger Games. Which is sad. Because I loved the first two so much.

OOH Unwind is AMAZING. So is EVERY OTHER FREAKEN BOOK BY NEAL SHUSTERMAN! He's a great writer. You should check out the Skinjacker Trilogy and Bruiser. Those were two of my favorites of his.

[Kara]

You hated mockingjay? It was not as great as 1 and 2, and there was some characters (or just one in particular really) that I felt were not given a fair wrap up to their stories, but final chapters are always bumpy. I will be at the library today, I will see if they have those. Thanks Seth! And thanks everybody for being so welcoming!

[Tori]

I've read the first 2 books in hunger games and i keep hearing mockingjay is really depressing so I'm scared to read it now lol

[Seth]

Kara- It was so sad. And everyone was so DIFFERENT. Katniss was depressed and not fearless--Peeta was . . . well. If you've read the book, you know how Peeta was. The ending was dumb, slightly confusing, and gave me a headache. It just didn't have the overall power that the first two had to entrap me and make me fall in love with the book. But you should DEFINITELY check out those books! They're good ones! :D

Tori . . . Idk what to say. I wish I hadn't read it. :P

I feel the same way except I want to read the series but if it end in a depressing way I am not sure I should. I own the first book but (like so many others stacked around my room) I have not read it yet.

[Seth]

Looking back on it, I wish I'd only read the first book. It doesn't end with this huge cliffie, so you aren't particularly excited to read the second book.

now im scared lol is it going to make me cry?

[Seth]

Yes. And angry.

I didn't hate Mocking Jay. It was different than the first two books, but I would have had a break down if I were Katniss. I mean geez look at all the crap she had to go through. Give the girl a break!

[Seth]

It's SO uncharacteristic of Katniss--you can't just go from SO strong to SO weak. Her entire personality was compromised in MockingJay.

[Heidi]

We shall agree to disagree! That is the great thing about books. All in the eye of the beholder. :)

[Seth]

Haha okay! :D So much is up for interpretation. Oh, books. -love-

[Heidi]

Well we agree on our book love at least :)

[Seth]

Yepyep! Books are fun stuff!

I love that book!
Everything by Neal Shusterman is wonderful, IMO. <3

Baahhh Mockingjay. Don't get me started.

[Heidi]

Well to be honest you didn't like the series in general Brigid :)

[Brigid ✩]

True, but especially not the third one. I was at least hoping for a good ending ... *sigh* :/

[Tori]

going to booksAMILLION tomorrow!! what should i put on my 2get list ?

[Kourtni]

Hunger Games and Catching Fire were pretty flipping awesome and I think Mockingjay is definitely worth the read, though I did NOT like it as much as the first two. Just be sure you have a happy, light-hearted book handy to read afterward. And maybe a Prozac. :)

And welcome newbies!

[Brigid ✩]

I liked Hunger Games. And Catching Fire was alright but a bit repetitive. Then Mockingjay ... ermmm. Yeah. Not a lot of hope in it, and a lot of people randomly got killed off which is one of my pet peeves!

But I'm sure I've given this speech like five billion times so... *claps hand over mouth*
