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.

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.
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...
Hi :) My name is Andrea. I just joined in July. I love YA books, especially supernatural. My favorite books are House Of Night, True Blood, Trylle Series and now Sweep series. Please add me as a friend if we have the same interests :)
Hello my name is Amanda! I love reading.....I'm addicted actually ! I am twenty three years old, and often wonder how many books I will read In my life time? It is hard to say what my favorite book would be??? Maybe the first hunger games but I love other books so much! Excited to be in the group!
Works been kicking my butt lately so haven't been on in a few days, but welcome, welcome, welcome everyone!!!
Hi all. My name is Alec and I read pretty much anything. I am a big fan of the horror and fantasy genre with Ursula LeGuin, Fritz Leiber and Philip K Dick being some of my favourites. I am looking forward to reading The Hunger Games after my current book.
I'm Stephen and I read a wide variety of books/genres. LeGuin and Dick, as noted above, along with Cordwainer Smith, Vance, Leiber, Delany, and I've just found a new one, Steven Barnes.
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. :)
Hello guys. My name is Pauline. I live in the Philippines. I have a bad eye sight for excessive reading. Would love to use a flashlight in the dark just to continue reading.
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.
Hey guys! I'm Felicia. My favorite book is Divergent. I love the color green! Japanese food is my fav!! Hope you guys enjoy!
Hi my name is Hoot! I'm obsessed with YA books! Ive might of already introduced myself, but it doesn't hurt doing it a 2nd time!

Helloo! I'm Kim from California. I joined Goodreads to make some bookish friends so that I won't annoy my real-life friends by telling them how hot a fictional character is, anymore. :)Favorite author is... Currently: Laini Taylor, Brandon Sanderson, and Jay Kristoff.

Oh, and I run a book blog, if you wanna check it out. :)

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
Hey Katie, you've got a great taste on books:)oh and I live in Ireland too^.^ we seem to be a scarce breed here on GR amoung americans:3
Hello, my name is Nitzan :) 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

Hi my name is Becca. My brother calls me Beeca, but please don't call me that. I also don't like Becky. If I knew you and you called me that, I would probaly toss you out the window. Anyway, I love reading. I am twenty oneyears of age and I live in Michigan right by Lake Huron (I can literallh see it from my bedroom window). I an be random.and messed up sometimes, so you should get used to that. I also have a lot of typos.
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! :(
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.

Hi! I'm Thea and I'm 16. I love reading and writing (don't know if I'm any good, but I do it anyway).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!
Oh my gosh! Elena, I just realized your profile pic was of Buffy.You hae forever earned my respect. *gets down on knees and holds hands as if she were praying*

Thanks, sounds good.
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?
