Chelsea Kertesz (skck09) | 8 comments Hi, I'm Chelsea. I get cravings for books like most people get cravings for food, and let's just say that YA fiction romances are my chocolate. I get cravings to read them often. I really love Sarah Dessen, Meg Cabot, Nicholas Sparks, Ann Brashares, Stephenie Meyer, Cecelia Ahern, and Elizabeth Scott.

Yeah I was born in Chicago, lived in the Philippines from age 1-3 years old, then went back for a summer vacation when I was 6 years old but that's it :( My lolos, lolas and pinsans have mainly come to visit me here, or now they keep in touch with facebook and skype :) I hope to go back to visit soon though!

Yeah I don't really remember anything from my time there :X Also, Tagalog was my first language, but when I moved back to the US to start school, I had to learn English and now I barely remember any Tagalog :(

Joan{missing the vampire bunny slippers!} (joan3000) | 195 comments Hi, I'm Joan and I 'll turn 18 in July! I consider studying computers or becoming an elementary school teacher -haven't decided yet!

I am a huge "bookaholic"!! BTW the chocolate/romance analogy is very good!!:)I read almost everything from classics to manga, but my favorites YA, Fantasy, and Historical Fiction.


message 524: by Kayla (new)

Kayla (atekayla) @Remmy & Kristine -- I've mainly been practicing reading/writing because my aunts all post in Tagalog on their facebook so when I comment, I try to write in all Tagalog. I practice speaking when I go home to visit my parents, but there are words I don't know the Tagalog word for so I end up speaking a mix of Tagalog/English lol

@Anna -- I know what you mean that I still know it by heart because there are some times where I don't know how or where I learned a word or phrase, it just comes back to me!

Hey, I'm Lynn. I'm older than you guys and I'm a published writer (mostly preschool, Barbie, Winnie the Pooh stuff). I've started writing YA and I'm hooked! Just wanted to join a forum where I could talk to others who like to read YA (since that's all I basically read these days) and find out if what I like is what you like. I'm reading "Knife of the Never Letting Go" by Patrick Ness now. Like it, though it's a little weird and it hasn't got any romance. My favorite books feature some romance, if not the focus of the book.

I read it already and only a selected few are really good. The rest are so-so and others make you go "What?? That's it???" kind of thing.

Have you read Entwined by Heather Dixon? If not, you definately need to. I got it on Tuesday, and I couldn't put it down. If I didn't have to sleep or work, I would have finished it in a day. It is romance, fantasy, historical fiction all wrapped up in one. I think you would love it.
