Hi, I'm Bev Katz Rosenbaum, author of the Penguin YA novel I Was a Teenage Popsicle. I'm getting ready to self-pub a few more. I'm also a fiction editor. When I'm not reading or writing for work, I'm reading other people's fab YA books! I love it all, from realistic contemporary a la Sarah Dessen and John Greene, to weird mashups. I'm reading a lot of self-pubbed stuff these days, as the big publishing companies are shying away from the really different, riskier books in the current economic climate...












I couldn't possibly pick a favourite book, but my favourite authors include Jonathan Stroud, Meg Cabot, J. K. Rowling (of course), Maggie Stiefvater and Philip Pullman. Nice to meet all of you! :)

I'm Lettie and i'm from the UK! I obviously love to read and I'm trying to be a more social reader as well as a blogger. I'm currently loving YA contemporaried such as the Sea Breeze series by Abbi Glines and Thomas and January!

I recently discovered YA and instantly fell in love with it's books. My favourite series are Divergent, Vampire Academy, Bloodlines, The Mortal Instrument, The Infernal Devices and The Hunger Games and many others.
I'm really excited to share my passion with other book lovers like you guys. Nice to meet you all!

My recent favorites in YA include Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Mortal Instruments, Iron Fey and LUX!!! Now, as I've made a start here I'll go ahead and dive into the discussion!

Lux has become my new favorite.
I want to be a Luxen!

and also amazed by how much the group has grown:O
so, yeah, hi every new person!^.^

I follow back! :)

When I was younger I read quite a bit of YA then I ended up moving mainly onto other genres but I've recently rediscovered my love of YA fiction! My favourite series would have to be both Harry Potter and The Hunger Games. I also love the A Song of Ice and Fire series which, of course, isn't YA >_<
Late last month, I read City of Bones and I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it so I'm super excited to get around to reading the rest of The Mortal Instruments books, too, and whatever YA recommendations Goodreads throws my way! :3

oh and I live in Ireland too^.^ we seem to be a scarce breed here on GR amoung americans:3

My favorite books are Harry Potter, Howl's Moving Castle, Graceling, The Host, Alpha and Omega series and many more!
I'm a fan of fantasy and romance, not just in YA books, and I also write a lot.
My dream is to be a writer and I'm a film major hoping to become a screenwriter (who'll do justice to books!)
That's it. I think xP

I'm Shelby Incognito. I'm fairly new to GoodReads I love writing and singing. I'm a Broadway nerd and my favorite musical is Les Miserables. Current favorite books (it changes often): Graceling, Unearthly, Eon, Enna Burning, Everneath, and a lot more.
Feel free to send me a friend request/message me!

Thanks, sounds good.

I guess I'll say a few things about myself. Once upon a time there was this awesome girl named Waterfall. She wanted to be a writer and a model and a psychologist and a massage therapist and a hypnotist and a blackbelt in karate and an artist and a photographer. But for now she settles with reading. Waterfall adores being honest and believes an honest opinion is better than the best of lies. And... Also she's awesome.
On a different note, I'm pretty sure I had a topic here for my writing. But I can't seem to find it. Anyone know if I accidentally put it in some strange folder?

Hey Falls :)
And err... we did cleaning on the folders and topics that hadn't been updated in a while. Really sorry if yours got deleted! Feel free to make a new one! Again, sorry!
