message 1801: by Alexis (new)

Alexis | 8 comments Hey, I'm Alexis, I'm fifteen and of course I love reading. My favorite in YA is really hard to tell, a few of them are The Fault In Our Stars, Maximum Ride, You Against Me, the Infernal Devices, and the Gemma Doyle Trilogy.


message 1802: by M (new)

M Hello, I'm Mila, I just turned seventeen. My favourite books are Harry Potter books and The Hunger Games, though I can read basicly everything. But my favourite genre is fantasy.


message 1803: by [deleted user] (new)

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...

Marci M. (marcisbookshelf) Hi! My name is Marci and I'm 21 years old. I love to read and I don't really limit what I read. Young Adult novels and Chic-Lit are my guilty pleasures. I swear I can't get enough of them. Um...I'm a pre-nursing major at UNLV in Las Vegas [I start my first semester there later this month.] I have a LARGE stack of books to read and I hope to put a major dent in that stack this year. :)

message 1813: by Robert (new)

Robert Stanley (berticusrex) | 1 comments Hello, My name is Robert. I'm new to good reads and wanted to get a feel for what's out there. My brother in law is a thirteen year old avid reader and many of the books he likes seem very interesting,so I thought I'd join a few groups to get a better understanding about YA books- and maybe better connect with him in the process. I personally read and write (not professionally though- just for fun) alot and enjoy a fantastic story filled with mythical creatures and daring adventures.

message 1834: by Katie (new)

Katie (kayteaface) Hey, I'm Katie and I live in Ireland :)
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


message 1835: by Carrie (new)

I'm a fan of fantasy and romance, not just in YA books, and I also write a lot.

That's it. I think xP

message 1841: by Laura (new)

Laura Hansen | 6 comments Hi! I'm Laura Hansen. So, of course I loved Hunger Games etc but one of my favorite less commonly read books was The Good Thief by Hannah Tinti. I'm also an author and I've found that I can't read and write at the same time. I either read a book or two a week when not writing or none at all when writing. I live in Nebraska but spent a chunk of my summer in Copenhagen (cool city!). Please be my friend as right now I have ONE! :(


message 1842: by Ishita (new)

Ishita (weirdtalkingdragon) | 13 comments Hi everyone! I'm Ishita. I (obviously) love reading. I love to sing and play the harmonium, and I'm learning to play the guitar. I live in Kolkata, India. Which is the best place for anything cultural. I like reading YA and fantasy generally...but anything's fair game :) I'm hoping to study law or go into music.

I don't have a favourite book (I can't choose, they're all my favourites), but I absolutely love werewolves and if a book has werewolves I will read it.

I'm sort of new to this site, so I don't have too many friends, so if you want to, please add me as a friend!

Waterfall *Daughter of Northridge Earthquake* (falls) | 7 comments Ello, I'm Waterfall, feel free to make up a nickname of some sort for me. I've been in this group for ages but I've never really been all that active. Why? I'm more into roleplaying than anything else and I'm not in many not-roleplaying groups. But I've stayed in here to kind of keep tabs on what's going on in the reading world; I don't have access to a library so I have no idea what's come out recently or what's been announced into a movie, but this group has helped me pick out a few good books. (:

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!


Waterfall *Daughter of Northridge Earthquake* (falls) | 7 comments Ello Jude!

And don't worry about it; there wasn't much in there. I was just wanting to make sure I wasn't duplicating a topic or something before I made a new one. (:
