I'm John, 30, from Oregon. I love all kinds of books and authors, from Graham Greene to Christopher Moore to Anne Rice. I just published a vampire novel called "Bloodwood: the Chronicles of Max Mayhem." Please check it out if you're curious.
Cheers :)

Hey Nikki,
If you're into heinous vampire stuff, I'd recommend my book, "Bloodwood: the Chronicles of Max Mayhem."
Cheers :)

I'm Tracy Rozzlynn and I write fantasy and science fiction for YA.
So far I have completed two novels. I am currently working on Darkened Shadows (1st book the Darkness trilogy) and Concisus(2nd book in the Verita series)
My favorite books are the ones I can't put down and lose sleep just to finish. Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Twilight, and anything by Amanda Hocking are just some of the books that have had this effect on me.




I love a good romantic comedy, which is why I love Meg Cabot's books so much, I love her humor. I love Sarah Dessen's seriousness to her books, and Simone Elkeles's stories about love and complications.
I have a blog, where I review all the books I read. Mostly young adult, but also a few other random ones here and there :).
If you get a chance, check it out. Here's the link:

Well, thanks. I would I appreciate it :) You can find it here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_nos...
If you don't want to go the Amazon route, I'm sure there's a way I could send you a free e-copy :)

Sorry it's taken me a while, I was out of town and no computer. Ah I remember school, I don't see how you can read do all your assignments and still have time to read other books. I usually do not read a lot of non-fiction; in fact I can’t recall the last non-fiction book I’ve read. I read a lot of young adult novels. You really can’t go wrong with those. I just finished Blood Red Road and Entwine, I’m on Fallen 1 and they have all been good books some better than others buy if I had time I would read them again. It’s good to hear from you good luck in school and keep in touch. Let me know what you are reading. Oh and make sure you sanitize those used books. :)

Hi John, I would love to read and review your book. Greetings Katrien

I'm always up for new reads, so please feel free to recommend books to me.


Thanks, Katrien! I would greatly appreciate it. You can find the book here: http://www.amazon.com/Bloodwood-Chron...
Or, if you don't want to go the Amazon route, send me an e-mail at maxnlydia@gmail.com and I'll either figure out how to get you a free e-copy, or mail you a copy.
Thanks!

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!
Hi I'm Bailee. I love to read and write stories. My favorite series is definatly Harry Potter!


Here's what it's about:
When the boob fairy makes an early visit in sixth grade, eleven-year-old Kate Fitzgerald is unprepared for the repercussions. Her puppy-love relationship with classmate Gabe Kelsey quickly blossoms. But her carefree days in Catholic school darken with the arrival of Father John O'Conner, a predatory priest with a hidden past. Life becomes even more tangled when Kate falls hard for Gabe's darkly handsome older brother, Michael. The Kelsey boys couldn't be more different: one is shy and self-effacing; the other is tall, athletic, and confident.
As the brothers battle for Kate’s affections, how will she choose without tearing their family apart? When she silently witnesses a frightening scene between Gabe and Fr. O'Conner, Kate is unaware that she is O'Conner's intended next victim.
With her mother distracted by the strain of providing for her daughter, and a grandmother uncannily tuned in to her feelings, Kate struggles to navigate the unwanted attention from older boys and men, while trying to sort through the questionable counsel of her too-worldly best friend, Anita. Comical adventures lend relief to Kate’s dark struggles, especially when friends share their refreshingly naive observations about growing up. The tragic death of a classmate brings the group face-to-face with mortality, shattering their facade of invincibility.
Ramsey Flynn, author of CRY FROM THE DEEP, writes:
“In her compelling breakout novel, EDNOR SCARDENS, Kate Barker writes with the commanding prose of a seasoned pro. Her characters and plotlines are crisp, vivid, clear and sensitive, easily winning her readers' confidence as the story unfolds. But Barker's boldest decision is her willingness to bank on characters both complex and earnest. Through the testing of allegiances, the moral temptations, the inevitable gathering of courage, and the everyday crucibles that a young heart must endure, readers will have no doubts who they're rooting for in the end. One of the clearest winners is new novelist Barker herself, who definitely has more great stories to come. This series will quickly produce a loyal and devoted following!”
There's a trailer up on YouTube also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=benKVy...
Thanks!
I'll be sure to read some of it.


At the moment my favourite YA-books are the Mortal Instruments 1-3 and Starcrossed.
I'm looking forward to be a part of this group and I hope the group and this website help me find more amazing YA novels.




I don't read nearly as much as I used to because I spend so much of my time writing, but I still make time for it as best as I can. I'm a freelance writer by day and an indie author by night, so I'm exposed to A LOT of text every day lol.
In the YA realm, I love Vampire Diaries and the Twilight saga. Outside of YA I also love Slyvia Plath, Janet Fitch, Robert Frost, and Flannery O'Connor. Dark, dramatic stuff is my style.
Nice to meet everyone. :)
