Hi my name is Brooke,I'm 19 years old and I love to read.
Mod
Hi! I'm Alaina, I'm 24 and from the US. Reading is probably the only hobby I've been consistent with my whole life... I like to try new things like crafts, home projects, and basically anything to keep busy. I can not pick a favorite book (there are way too many) but I tend to enjoy paranormal/fantasy the most. I recently have been obsessed with The Mortal Instruments series and A Song of Ice and Fire (even though it's not YA).
Mod
Hi! I'm Adriana, and I'm 26 (for a couple of more months anyway). I LOVE to go to church, hang out with my family, and read. My passion is writing. I'm hoping to do the self-pub thing on Kindle in a couple of months when I get my manuscript right where I want it. At the moment, though, I'm loving the day job working in Kindergarten. I could no sooner pick a fave book than I could a favorite star in the sky, and I'm a genre hopper, just recently getting into the ya paranormal/sci fi romances (I'm a romance girl at heart). I will say probably the best book I've read in a long time (and I'm talking plot line and story twists) is Bound by C.K. Bryant. Love it! I hope everyone has a blessed and wonderful day!
Hello Adriana. I also work in the schools and keep going with your passion for writing. What kind of book are you working on now?

It's a slow go with a two year running around who thinks anytime I pull out the laptop its for her to play on so I'm pulling a lot of late nights and early mornings. But (hopefully) it's worth it!

Haha - nice...kids, who knew;-)
Hi, My name is Metrov, I'm a writer living in Santa Barbara, California. Based on the stacks of books in my office (that still need to be read) I love reading too much! My favorite writer (at this moment in time) is Mark Hodder (steampunk). I started writing fantasy, which evolved into steampunk fantasy, and just finished an historical fantasy about Leonardo da Vinci which I call "machinepunk!" I try to have as much fun as possible! :)
Mod
Hi my name is Rissa. I live in the US and LOVE LOVE LOVE reading. One day i want to be a YA author. My favorite genres are action, paranormal, thrillers, mysteries, fantasies and any mix of any of the ones. I like sports and music as well. I like to hang out with my friends and/ or my dog Pepper.

Hi everyone! My name is Yoon-Ji, and I live all the way in Hong Kong, but I'll be moving to New York for college soon! I'm 18, and I am absolutely, 100% head-over-heels in love with reading. I've always dreamt of becoming an author one day, and I've written a few short stories and even a historical fiction novella once! I love all things YA, especially the little (or big) elements of romance. (: I also happen to have a huge sweet tooth, so I'm into baking and exercising (gotta get rid of all that sugar I eat somehow) too. Whoo that's a long spiel! Oh, and I also started a book review blog late last year too, so swing on by if you're interested! (:http://www.theinkgobbler.blogspot.com/
Mod
Welcome Rissa! So how much do you love reading;-)
Hello everyone my name lauren i love reading fancy,paranormal books about witches or vampires .
Since I cannot remember if I actually introduced myself here, here it is. Hi everyone, my name is Stephanie! I have a passion for reading and while I am particular about the books I read, a well written YA novel is a thorough enjoyment. :) The Fault in Our Stars is next on my to-reads list, actually. Nice to meet you all!
Mod
Howdy Stephanie. I have not read that book yet, but my wife loved it!
Thank you guys! I'm really excited to start it, I just need to find time, haha!
Doug here. I joined thinking this was for Young Adult novel enthusiasts, not young adults. Now I feel like the creepy old guy in the room (I'm 51). But I do like YA novels -- favorites would be Ptolemy's Gate and the rest of the Bartimaeus trilogy, The Golden Compass and its sequels, Penelope, and Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching books, like A Hat Full of Sky. Also liked Neil Gaiman's Coraline, Lemony Snicket's books, The Book Thief, and of course To Kill a Mockingbird. Anyway, let me know if age is a problem :)

The Book Thief was my favorite book I read last year ;)"thanks. My son (who is 17 now, but was probably around 14 when we both read The Book Thief) liked it a lot, too. Unfortunately, neither one of us like Zusak's second book, I am the Messenger. It wasn't terrible, but neither was it very memorable.
Hello everyone!, I'm Dalu, I'm from Argentina, i love reading YA books, i'm currently trying to write one. I love playing volleyball, shopping, and go out clubbing. I'm studying Architecture in callege, so i also like drawing. My favorite music group is Paramore, 30 seconds to mars, Fall out boy, Pink and Imagine dragons. My challenge for this year is reading 50 aproximately, since Junuary i've already read The hunger games series, the Delirium series, the Matched series, both Divergent and Insurgent, Uglies, and i'm now reading Graceling! (i think those are like 15 books so far!)
Mod
Hi Dalu! Good to see you in this group too :)
Mod
Hmm I almost bought it once but decided not to... I'll have to consider whether to read it. The Book Thief is a hard act to follow!
