   Hi. I am Syafiqah.
      Hi. I am Syafiqah. I love books. Lots. So far, I am in love with The Hunger Games. It is my latest fav. There are others but I would not bore with long details.
I think you should know that I have a secret wish of training as a spy in a Korean training company to be K-pop idols and collecting datas on how those idols have such gorgeous bodies.
Which I don't think I will ever be because I am barely five foot five. I live in Malaysia, where summer reigns eternally and the girls are not tall enough to reach into the fourth shelf in the supermarket and the shelf was barely six feet high.
I am babbling. Sorry, but you got the gist of who I am. So... let's ride!!
 Hello everyone! My name is Kayla and I'm 23 years old and I love my YA books! Ever since I learned how to read, I have loved reading! I ran out of space in my bookshelves once, so I cleaned out a drawer full of clothes and donated them to make room for more books! About 6 months ago, my boyfriend got me a Kindle so now I don't have to worry about making space for my books anymore :)

Seriously, I have a major addiction! :) I love reading young adult fantasy, adult fantasy, mystery, suspense, paranormal.

 Hello everyone. I got into YA fiction by reading Thea Beckman. I literally read everything she wrote, all of it in the Dutch language. She started writing after her kids left home, and thus had a shorter career. Beckman was rarely translated into English and wrote YA historical novels that mostly had to do with Holland.
      Hello everyone. I got into YA fiction by reading Thea Beckman. I literally read everything she wrote, all of it in the Dutch language. She started writing after her kids left home, and thus had a shorter career. Beckman was rarely translated into English and wrote YA historical novels that mostly had to do with Holland.Thus my first book HAD to be YA, and much of it set in Holland The Blackberry Bush; and it also shows influences from my other two fave writers (also Dutch) Harry Mulisch and Cees Nooteboom.
So my goal is to bring, into English, YA lit in the spirit of Dutch fiction. Should read "fresh" to our eyes.
Thanks for including me in the group.
BTW: I am a surfing instructor in California
 My name is Lexi, and I'm obviously obsessed with reading. I'm the type of girl who spends my weekends in my room with a good book and some music blasted beside me.
      My name is Lexi, and I'm obviously obsessed with reading. I'm the type of girl who spends my weekends in my room with a good book and some music blasted beside me. I love to write as well, but my favorite series are dystopian novels such as the Hunger Games Series, Maze Runner Series, Gone Series and Forest of Hands and Teeth. I also love a good paranormal/supernatural novel as well as regular fantasy or a good teen romance novel.
 Hi everyone! My name is Abbie and I just read, no writing for me, except for reviews. I love YA books. I have read mostly paranormal--vamps, faries, wolves, angels, witches (the normal) & a couple of historical fictions which I actually liked.

 Hi, I'm кєяo. I just got an invitation from Lucia to join this group. So here I am. I'm 19 years old (actually I'm going to turn 20 next month). I'm a student. I live in Karachi. I love reading and blogging. I primarily read mystery and thrillers. But now I've started reading young adult fiction too. So I'm new to this genre.

I also love traveling: I have been to Paris, London, Amsterdam, Rome, Venice and all around Australia. When I am older I would love to be an author (living in a nice apartment in London!). I am currently working on 4 different manuscripts, for 4 very different plots/settings/genres. Unfortunately, none of them are getting much attention at the moment.
Cant wait to join group discussions :)
 Hello!! My name is Pamela and I'm 14 years old. My favorite book series are (in order): Harry Potter; Hush, Hush; Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I love other books too but I won't write it here 'cause it'll be unfair to other books that I would accidentally forget to write about. ^_^ I love reading since I was 11 and I also started writing at that age. I like reading books that are of teen and young adult genre. My favorite show on TV is Charmed and I watched every single episode of it. Currently, I like watching shows like DC Cupcakes and Barefoot Contessa because I want to bake someday. ;)

     Hello all!
      Hello all!My name is Brian Rowe, and I just wanted to introduce to all of you my debut YA paranormal romance novel HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, which is now available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble!
It tells of a high school senior who starts aging a whole year of his life with each passing day! It has comedy, romance, magic, and betrayal... it's a super fun read!
It's the first chapter in a trilogy... I'd love to get some feedback and see what all you YA lovers think of it! Check it out! :)
 Hi! I'm Cait, and I don't know how I didn't find something like this group earlier, haha. I'm 17 (almost), from Pittsburgh, a nerdfighter, and I love to read. But I'm insanely busy with school and work and yadayada, so I don't read as much as I'd like. Though when I find a particularly good book, the world just has to wait until I'm done :).

My favorite book series is the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld, and has been since 6th grade. Seriously. If you haven't read it yet you have not LIVED! The Midnighters and Leviathan series by the same author are also some of my favorites.
I like a wide variety of book genres. I'd say I'm drawn to dystopian novels and scifi/fantasy. Some books I really enjoyed that just stick out in my mind, in no particular order, are The Hunger Games, Series of Unfortunate Events, The Keys to the Kingdom (Garth Nix)...so on :)
