message 2051: by Özgecan (new)

Özgecan (ozgecan) | 133 comments I agree. It's not weird at all. And they are all great books why not love them


message 2052: by Ronald (new)

Ronald | 16 comments Thanks Irene, and I was mostly commenting on stuff like Hunger Games and Twilight. Everyone reads Harry Potter, but it's rare for a guy like me to be reading stuff like Twilight. Though, Hunger Games is more accepted. Hey, personally I don't give a damn what someone thinks. People were seeing me read that stuff a couple years back in high school and didn't say ****.

So I'm good.


Irene ~ Witchy Reads (witchyreads) | 52 comments I know, but it is cool, cause you know understand part of the women's mind, who awesome is that. Hunger Games could pass for a guys book right?
What other books did you enjoy?


message 2054: by Ronald (new)

Ronald | 16 comments The first Hunger Games maybe, but after that...Katniss is just Gale this, Peeta that, and it really made me wish Suzanne Collins just wrote the book from different POVs like Game of Thrones.

*SPOILERS for CF and Mockingjay*

There was so much going on in the Capitol and Panem and Katniss only hears or sees these things happen rather than see them. Not to mention, the writing style really got to me.
*END SPOILERS*

Besides that, I loved it. I just felt that Suzanne Collins phones it in the sequels. Besides YA, I love fantasy. A bit dorky, but the writing is really good. By the way, any of you guys trying to write stuff?


Irene ~ Witchy Reads (witchyreads) | 52 comments Ah a fantasy lover, that's my favorite genre, mmm I still have to read the last two books, will be reading them in April,... Throwing myself a dystopian month.. (Gonna read catching fire, Mockingjay, Matched, the Host, Divirgent, Insurgent) I haven't read game of thrones yet is it good? Haven't heard much about it other than that the tv series is a big hit!


message 2056: by Ronald (new)

Ronald | 16 comments Ha, ha. Yes, the TV seres is nice. Wonderful really. Different from the source material just a little bit, but what isn't you know?

I've always been into Dystopias. Trying to write one myself. I've read Divergent, and it's a bit shaky, but still entertaining.

Michelle (mich_ya_c) | 2 comments Hello, I'm Michelle and I'm a 'cool' bookworm. :-D

I like to read Horrors, Sci-Fi, Fantasy but you can't drag me away from a good YA book :)

If you know of any good YA books that I haven't already read, let me know and lets connect on here over our mutual YA addiction! lol ;)

PS - My favourite books so far are: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, My Blood Approves and The Orcus Games: Blood Moon :)

Yeah nothing is exactly as the books, but some series just stray from the storylines of the books so far that you would think they only shared the name but nothing more (vampire diaries/secret circle)
Really cool that your writing a dystopian! I only read the hunger games, but that is gonna change this month :p

@ Michelle: Welcome Michelle! My fav HP is the prisoner of azkaban, Im sure you will find plenty of new YA on here!

Peter Laurent (petes117) | 1 comments Hello everyone, my name is Peter Laurent. I loved Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Ender's Game, classic YA authors like CS Lewis and Roald Dahl... really they are all suitable for adults anyway right?
I grew up reading Ducktales/Scrooge comics and The Lord of the Rings, so I love a good adventure story.
I wrote one of my own too ;) I'll just mention it here once and make a folder in the Authors section if anyone would like to discuss: The Covert Academy
I could use a few recommendations of some of the best YA books out there, I'm not reading anything at the moment! (Gasp!)

Andy Elliott | 6 comments Hi I'm Andy. I'm a reader and writer of young adult books. I started reading them when they were too old for me, and carried on despite being a not-so-young adult!

My favourite books are too many to list, but am currently revisiting the Hunger Games trilogy and working my way through the Wool books. You cant beat a dystopian future!

Andy


message 2081: by Katherine (new)

Katherine | 1 comments Hey everyone; My name is Kat!! Full-time bookworm and college student, part time consumer of Thin Mints cookies, and amateur procrastinator. Addictions include chocolate, YouTube, Facebook, and buying far too many books. I'll read just about everything and am working on becoming a high school English teacher, so YA is kind of my thing. I hope to have lots of fun in this group!!

Kathleen Baldwin (kathleenbaldwin) | 4 comments Hi! This looks like a great group. I'm still getting the hang of Goodreads so if I do this wrong I'm sorry. Not just an author, I LOVE reading YA. Just finished Enclave by Ann Aguirre. Am currently reading Blood-Kissed Sky which is book 2 in the breaking Dawn series.


message 2083: by Kathleen (new)

message 2086: by Nico (new)

Nico Hey everyone, I'm Amy, I live and go to high school in Toronto Ontario! Obviously, I love reading, but recently I haven't had much time and I realized how much I was missing escaping into books... So hopefully this group and the challenges I'm committing to will help me get back into my state of constant, non-stop reading! Favourite books right now are the Mortal Instruments series, Shatter Me, and the Harry Potter series (always!!). Awesome to meet everyone! =D

message 2088: by Haley (new)

Haley | 11 comments Hello everyone,
I'm Haley. About all of my books are my favorite books and i hate having to choose just one (so i kinda group them all together; "whats your favorite book?" "Oh.. you know.. The Mortal Instruments, Blue Bloods, Percy Jackson and the Olympians...") There is no such thing as one favorite book with how many i have. And i try to reread all my books fairly (when i don't have new ones to read!)

Lisa | 5 comments Howdy

I am Lisa, just an avid reader of books. I am a recent graduate from college, well from a program that will hopefully make me more money then I am making now anyways. I love all kinds of books but give me a good retelling of anything and I am good.

YA has become somewhat of a new love for me, I also love Historical Fiction and well anything with a good story.
