Elizabetha (veritaangel) | 5 comments Hey, I am Elizabetha, I have been a member for a month or so... I really enjoy Richelle Meads Vampire Academy although it took me a few books to really get into them. I LOVE urban-fantasy (Sookie Stackhouse books for example). I just recently read and loved Divergent and Unearthly. I somewhat enjoy The Immortals series. My all-time favorite author is Tamora Pierce, every book she has written has stolen my heart. I work a lot (which prevents me from being able to write as many reviews as I would like)

I can usually read 4 books at once. Oh- and I forgot, I LOVED the Wicked Lovely series.

I spend a lot of money on books...and I am thinking of getting an e-book reader, but I love to have actual books in my hands.

I am a big fan of all things paranormal...fantasy...mythology and post-apocalyptic. I love all of the books that people have recommended through this site and it is fun to keep track of how many books I have read and so on. I Write a lot and have at least a dozen journals filled. I entered a funny short story to one of the latest contests, and I look forward to putting more into this group! Glad to be a part of it all!!

-Elizabetha

I HAD a kindle. It decided to die two weeks ago u_u [RIP]

now I read in my laptop. I hate it but yeah, I read a lot because most of my ARC are on e-book format :/

I Loved my Kindle more. But it died. [Stupid thing >.<]

I'd say that maybe you should get one, not all of the books are always available and they're easy to get. Though I still Love more the real thing of a book :))

How old was it? I've heard great things about Amazon's customer service replacing some Kindles even if it's out of the warranty period!

Hattie (hattiemaenoway) | 702 comments I've been apart of this group for a little while now, but I've never introduced myself! =O So, i guess I had better get on that. ;)

My name is Hattie. I'm an avid reader, and have a particular love for YA fiction. I am currently reading Mocking Jay. Two of my favorite books I've ever read are: Anansi Boys andThis Is All: The Pillow Book of Cordelia Kenn. Richelle Mead, Sarah Dessen, and Neil Gaiman are some of my favorite authors. And some series I love, and you should give a try if you haven't are: The Hunger Games, Georgina Kincaid series(Succubus Blues), The Bartimaeus Trilogy, and the Inheritance cyclce. Oh, and my favorite color is green. Just a random fact. =]


message 775: by Tyra (new)

Tyra Lynn (tyralynn) | 1 comments Hi everyone. I recieved an invitation from a member and this looks like a great group. My name is Tyra, and I love to read and to write as often as possible. My dream skill would be the ability to do both simultaneously. I also draw, paint, sculpt, and build things. I can't grow plants (I have a brown thumb) and numbers hate me as much as I hate them. (I hate math.)

message 782: by Darci (new)

Darci (asraiviolet) Hello :) I'm Darci and I love books. I've been into YA books for a while. I really started getting into heavily reading book after book 2 years ago when I had access to a library. Since then I've been hooked on YA books and am trying to read them all! I used to write short stories, although I've kind of lost interest in that now. I just enjoy reading now :)

My favorite author by far is Holly Black and her Modern Faerie Tale books. She got me into reading the old faerie folklore from celtic and irish backgrounds, which her stories follow to the core. Ever since I read those I have been trying to find one in the YA area that is just as spooky and has underlying roots of creepiness.

Cant wait :)


nightlyreadingheather (heatherhy01) Hi Darci...Welcome!
