message 2801: by Abigail (new)

Abigail (ammcginley) Hello, my name is Abbey. I live in a small town in Illinois with my husband and my cat. I love reading, even when I'm watching television. I'll honestly read just about anything anymore, though most books I read just happen to fit until the young adult category. I have too many books that I call my favorite these days, though I suppose that's a good thing. My most recent favorites are A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray and The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black.

Hi Kim,

Thanks for the welcome, and we really do have similar tastes. I looked at your books and marked them "to read". I've got some catching up to do on my reading. :) I still have several to add to my "have read" shelf. I'll start by checking your list out. lol. I look forward to discussions and comparing notes and all. :)

Loni Engledow (lonisue75) | 9 comments Hi Alex, I too like the same series as you. I just started Insurgeant.,have you tried the Alex Rider Series and the Artemis Fowl Series they are both pretty good. I want to finish the second Percy Jackson series I rad the first ones this summer when everyone else was reading them, but I don't read as fast so I stayed behind everyone else. I really enjoyed them though. I bought the series in Hardback so this will be one of my keeper series. Good enough to read over again!!

Alex Carey (AlexECarey) | 16 comments Hi Loni,

Oh yes, are tastes are exactly the same. :) I haven't read Insurgent yet but plan to. I haven't tried the Alex Rider series yet, I hope you'll let me know what you think of it. I do like the Artemis Fowl series, but I'm a bit behind on it. I've been very focused on books by Rick Riordan for awhile. I read the Percy Jackson books as they come out, and then I started his other series. I love Greek mythology. I've also been reading the Hunger Games books. When I'm busy writing I try to stay away from too much fantasy or scifi so it doesn't overly affect my work. Sometimes I like to pick up an Agatha Christie novel or something new when I'm writing.

Have you read any of the Hunger Games books? I look forward to hearing what you think of Insurgent and the Alex Rider series. :)

Alex

Loni Engledow (lonisue75) | 9 comments I loved the Alex Rider Series!! I too love Greek mythology. So Percy Jackson was right up my alley . I need to start and finish the second series. I read all the Hunger Games and the Eron Fowler Series another good one is Peter and the Star Catchers. There are three new Peter Pan and that is the first one. I've bought all three but haven't read the other two yet.


message 2809: by Alex (new)

Alex Carey (AlexECarey) | 16 comments I'm not familiar with the Eron Fowler Series. I love Peter Pan stories too. I haven't bought the Peter and the Star Catcher series yet though. I've heard mixed opinions on the Maze Runner. Have you tried that one yet?

message 2814: by [deleted user] (last edited Apr 01, 2015 08:31PM) (new)

Hi- my name is Mckenna,
I am seventeen years old (pretty much, just a few more months). I don't have many hobbies, except for maybe reading. I like to read YA fiction - and I get a secret kick out of reading romance...*shhhhh* boys still have cooties ;) - dystopian, science fiction, and anything else appealing. I am not particularly good at writing reviews but for some reason I look forward to writing them, and reading them. My favorite books are Divergent, Ashfall series, Uncaged, Hunger Games, Dirt Bikes Drones and Other Ways to Fly, Eleanor & Park..... and so on. While we are discussing books here and what we like, what about what we don't like? I happen to be one of the few that didn't care for The Fault in Our Stars - book or movie. I also don't care for the popular Hundred Oaks series. Anyways, I think this is enough about me

:)


message 2815: by Jordan (new)

Jordan | 1 comments Hey, I'm Jordan. I'm 15. I live in Switzerland.
I started reading in 7th grade. I've I'm not reading I'm dancing or gaming. I dance Hip-Hop, Classical Ballet, Contemporary and Jazz.
I like reading YA, Thrillers and Fantasy books. But I read all if the plot is interesting to me.
I'm pretty new on goodreads.
So it would be cool to get some friends, who could recommend some books to me.


message 2816: by Fhina (new)

Fhina (fhinabasbair) Hi!

I'm not sure if I ever made an introduction here but I highly doubt it. Anyway, I'm Fhina and I'm not so much of an young adult anymore - at least not my age but still by heart.

Currently I live in Helsinki, Finland and I'm about to warp up my studies and graduate this December, which is like super soon to be honest. I still have my Thesis due and in stead of reading for it/working towards it I can't stop putting down novels and keep procrastinating...I'm a pro in it!

I really enjoy reading young adult a lot and basically everything within the genre, favourites are however probably fantasy and romance as well as historical.

When I'm not reading, I like to workout and get my body in such pain that I refuse to go upstairs to my kitchen to have coffee, and I LOVE coffee... *chuckles*

Well, happy friday you all!

message 2822: by Aisha (new)

Aisha M | 2 comments I'm Shekienah but I like to be called my middle name sometimes, Aisha, and I picked up this habit of reading Books more on a regular basis, and I aim to read 500 books this year lol.

My fav book so far that really captivated me was, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini.

I've read other interesting Books like, Before I Go To Sleep by SJ Watson, and Before the Storm (Some old fashion 19th century love story)...I realised that these two books i have mentioned are not modern but dates back in the 19th century so maybe i have that interest - although strangely most of the Books i have is date in the now.

Welcome to goodreads. It's a great place to find new books, follow the authors, make friends and simply talk- about your fav authors, the books you like, your favorite part, the cliffhangers, any queries you have or anything else. If you have any particular book, author or genre you like, you can find hundreds of similar ones. Have fun. :)

I am Missy and I have been an avid reader for as long as I can remember. I love reading all kinds of different books but my favorite would probably have to be Harry Potter and Outlander.


message 2846: by Pau (new)

Pau (pau_b) | 1 comments Hello! I'm Pau. I am an adult Y.A. reader. My favorite Y.A. books and authors are:
Tiffany Aching 4-Book Collection: A Hat Full of Sky, The Wee Free Men, Wintersmith, I Shall Wear Midnight by the Great Terry Pratchett, The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud, His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman, and, for more recent YA books, A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab. Although, I think Nation should be required reading for all in puberty in order to destroy all unrealistic expectations on love.

message 2848: by Emily (new)

Emily | 2 comments Hi, my name is Emily :) I feel like I'm a bit late at joining this group but, as my math teacher has always said, better late than never! I absolutely love books (probably more than I like people) because I love the adventure and the story behind every single one of them.
I'd have to say my favourite series's are The Darkest Minds (it was brilliant), Hush Hush, The City of Bones, Across the Universe, The Selection, Divergent, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians (I'll never give that series up no matter how old I get).
I personally have to say that I have some sort of love for every book I read, even if it turns out to be horrible. People who can write books contain a certain gift of creativity that I'm glad can be shared with the world. It provides us with entertainment, excitement, sadness, love, grief, and really any emotion ever, and that's what I love most about books - we can attach ourselves to them emotionally.
I'm glad I was able to find this group and I look forward to being a part of it :)

Orizel (orizel_gonzalez) | 2 comments Heyyyy!! My name is Orizel(: I am currently 18 years old but in a couple of weeks I will be turning 19!I was never a bookaholic before as I am now. That changed because back in 2013 I unfortunately had a stroke :/ I am good now! But I am partially disabled and with that it limits my abilities to do physical activities. Since then reading has been my world!! I absolutely love it. My favorite book series I've read so far has been The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare, The Hunger Games Trilogy, also the Divergent Series. Looking forward in being a pat of this group and hope to meet new readers :)
