I also love the House of Night Series and books by Amanda Hocking."I'm seriously considering self-publishing a YA fantasy in early summer. I'm just wondering how you discovered Amanda Hocking as an author?
Hi, Ladybug:I liked "Ender's Game" a lot too. Did you read the second book, "Speaker for the Dead," and if so, what did you think of it?
Hi! I'm Connor. I of course like to read. I also like to write (though I'm not good at it). My favorite books are mainly classics. The Lord of the Rings is my absolute favorite with A Tale of two Cities close behind.
Hi I'm Talia and I love to Sing, Read and Play Soccer. Some of my favorite books includeWhen you reach me
Artemis Fowl
and Double Identity.
I love almost every book I read. I am a proud weirdo.

Just curious what you thought."I loved The Hobbit. I've read it more than LOTR, but I LOVE The Lord of the Rings better. I also like The Silmarillion, The Children of Hurin, and some non-Middle Earth books like Smith of Wootton Major and Farmer Giles of Ham and I can't remember but I think I read another Tolkien book.
Hello! I'm Posie, and I absolutely live to read. I also love to sing, act, play piano, and hang out with friends and family. I have a ton of favorite books! Some of them are: anything by Sarah Dessen, the Shiver series, Jane Eyre, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, If I Stay and Where She Went, The Sky is Everywhere, Blindsided, anything by Natalie Standiford, The Indigo Notebook series, and a bunch more but I'll stop rambling. :) ttyl!

Hi Talia!
I also love the Artemis Fowl series. I got into them around middle school, but admit I never finished them all....:( I am planning on reading them all.
----By the way, I'm a proud weirdo too! :)

I never finsih the book and I always end up falling asleep during the movies...all this unintentional because I want to read them, just can't seem to get through them :/

Hi everyone and welcome to the new members!
Hi, I'm Mei. I love to read, of course. My current favourite books are Where She Went, Wither and Red Gloves. They tend to change from time to time, depending on the current genre I'm interested in reading.Ultimate favourite books are Bartimaeus Trilogy, The Black Magician's Trilogy, The Pact, A Walk To Remember and If I Stay.

He rocks. :) did you know they're making a movie of If I Stay? Should be interesting...;)
@Mei, Welcome to the group!@Posie, I did not know they were making it into a movie? Gosh, I hope it is as good as the book!
Heather-- I know! I hope they do a good job with it. :p
I loved Where She Went more than If I stay...what about you???
Hey, I'm Ally. I love to read, write and play tennis. I hope to publish a book someday and get into the University of Kansas. My all time favorite book is all of the hunger games. Second favorite is City of Glass. Oh, and I love meeting new people. =)
Hello All-My name is a Amanda and I am a stay at home mom. I love to read mostly YA and Paranormal Romance although I do like my share of Adult Paranormal Romance too. Some of my fav. series so far are Vampire Academy (Love Dimitri) and probably Wings (Team Tamani). I look forward to chatting with everyone!

Hey everyone, I'm Alice, and I have been looking around here for awhile and finally decided to say hi. I am still in high school and reading is the ONLY thing I do in my spare time. I love Meg Cabot, Cassandra Clare, Richelle Mead, and L.J. Smith.
@Heather, I love If I Stay more than Where She Went. It went so much deeper than just Mia and Adam's relationship alone. If I Stay also involved Mia's family and Teddy( who I love more than my own brother)and the relationship between them.Haha..I really wonder how are they gonna show all the emotions Mia was feeling at that time onto the movie..
Ooo.. I read every Sarah Dessan book there is, the ones I can find anyway.. I love The Truth About Forever the most.

OMG!! i didnt know that??!! it should be! i really hope that they would choose the best actor for adam.. :) i hope that it will be showing in the UK :D cant wait!
Mei wrote: "@Heather, I love If I Stay more than Where She Went. It went so much deeper than just Mia and Adam's relationship alone.

and i love truth about forever too!! :D
HI!!!! I'm Summer....I love to read, and eat blueberries, and such. Hey everyone. :D
Hi my name is erika im a readaholic my favorite read is the hunger games and i'm a writer, an artist, and youth activist (@ school and around my community)
I know!! I kind of can't decide between If I Stay and Where She Went... they're both fantastic! What's your favorite sarah dessen book? i love them all, but my top favorites are keeping the moon, the truth about forever, and just listen. :)
I love the truth about forever best!I just love Wes, Monica and Kristy! All of them seemed so real. My next one is Just Listen. That was the first Sarah Dessen book I read that got me hooked.

Not necessarily in that order, but I think Just Listen will always be my favorite because of the time in my life when I read it.
Hi there. My name is Delia and I currently live in a small country in Europe. It's all going to change very soon though because in as little as four months I'm moving to Canada for college. My major will be English. I love reading - duh - and goodreads is such an awesome escape.

Wow! that sounds awesome! I'm not even going to college out of my town xD!
Welcome to YABC :D!
Hello, My name is Rich Douglas. I love to read, write and breathe YA. Most most recent YA novel I just completed is The Magical Tale of Eliza Felding. I just finished reading Nevermore, by Kelly Creagh. What an exciting and very intersting story that was! I'm about to start reading Switched, by Amanda Hocking. I can't wait.
Welocome Rich, Your book sounds really good, I put it on my to-read list
Heather (Nightly Reading) wrote: "Welocome Rich, Your book sounds really good, I put it on my to-read list"Thanks!

Hi, Brittany: I'm actually a published children's book writer (early grade, commercial stuff like Barbie, Disney's Pooh, etc.) currently working on a YA novel. Like you, I'm a book-lover (duh!) Am about 3/4 of the way through "Knife of the Never Letting Go" which I understand is a series (this is the first book). Really different, in voice, plot, and characterization. The protagonist is a 13 yr old male so this might grab the boy audience, but girls should like it too (there's a 13 yr old female character, Viola, who is an important secondary character). Anyway, just a suggestion if you're looking for something compelling and a bit unusual...
