[David]

Hey Brandt, awesome to have you here!! The Hunger Games is awesome!! You can jump onto some of the threads where we talk about books or recommend books to each other. That's what I get the most out of with GRs, getting awesome book recommendations!

[David]

Welcome Juliette, that's awesome you're from the Netherlands!!

[David]

Hi Brittany! We have so many books in common, it's awesome!! And you blog looks very cool :)

[Marie-Claude aka MC]

Hi guys! I'm MC from Montréal, Canada. I love reading with a passion. I'm 28 and still loves YA novels, even though I read lots of other stuff too. I'm really into Fantasy and dystopia stuff. I have read tons of vampire books... My favorite books are Harry Potter, Vampire Academy, The Circle Trilogy (Nora Roberts) and Twilight.

My first language is French, but I'm perfectly bilingual. However, I started reading books in English about 2 years ago maybe... It's all because of my e-reader, there isn't much ebooks available in French yet. But it has help me discover tons of books I would have never known about, so I'm pretty happy about that! =)

[David]

Hi MC, that's so cool you're bilingual, I'm terrible at learning other languages! Welcome to the group :)

[Ms. Taylor]

Hello, I am new to Goodreads and live in the USA. I am a teacher of English & currently moderating three summer reading groups.

The groups name, Young Adult Enthusiasts, caught my eye because I am interested in YA Literature and how technology is being used by young adults to discuss literature.

I am currently reading the tortilla curtain and just finished reading Feed. It is interesting to me that the social commentary in both novels is similar and both have tragic narratives.

I am looking forward to observing & participating in your discussions...The Book Thief is one of my all-time favorite novels.

[Kathleen]

Hi, I'm Kathleen :) I'm from the USA. I love to read YA, particularly realistic fiction and romance. I also like to dance (I do ballet) and bake. Also, I like to take pictures. I love to make new friends so don't be shy! :D

[Jordan]

Hey :) My names Jordan, I'm from the UK, I'm 17 and my hobbies are reading and tumbling? my favourite book right now would be between the whole harry potter series and hunger games and the divergent trilogy :P

[David]

Hi Ms Taylor, Kathleen and Jordan!! So good to have you in the group. Most of us LOVE YA books so you'll fit right in. Divergebt is definitely one of my favorites Jordan!!

[Jordan]

@david I don't know anyone that has read Divergent :( it's really sad but I'm glad everyone on here like those kinds of books :D

[David]

I know, me too!! The only friends I have that read are on Goodreads lol!!

[Kathleen]

I have maybe three or four friends who read outside of Goodreads! It's a shame!

[Crystal]

That's one of my problems too. I can only freak out over books with a couple of my friends :(

[Irene]

Welcome everyone!

Right, and have them still treat you sane :)

[Crystal]

Yupp. My friends and I must look crazy to normal people when we're talking about books. Especially those YA cheesy romance books, where we spazz out for about ten minutes, and then go on about our days :)

[Brandt]

Thanks David! I'm trying to get the hang of it. I found myself spending hours last night just looking around the website. I'll be participating in the discussions for sure.

[Kel]

Hi Everyone!

My name is Kel. I'm from the U.S (Louisiana). I enjoy watching movies and television (Netflix), playing video games, reading/writing, researching electronics, and basically just being the geek that I am. My favorite book series is (you guessed it) the Harry Potter Series!

[Natalie]

[Reving]

Hello! I'm Ing (Ingrid) from Pittsburgh, PA (USA) 40 years old with the body of a 120 year old.
I'm the Head of Youth Services at a lovely mid-sized library and a part-time Children's Librarian at another lovely mid-sized library also an ordained American Baptist pastor and (kinda, but not too, funny) stand-up comic.
YA fiction is what I read most with some tween, children's and adult mystery/detective fiction here and there. Thankful to be joining this group!

Glad to be here!

Hello to all!

[David]

Welcome Kel and Natalie, I love those books too!
And welcome Ing!! Guess what? I grew up in Pittsburgh and my family lives there now!!! Awesome town although I don't love there anymore I'll be visiting in August :)

[Reving]

No way, David! What fun! I hope your visit is excellent! Thanks for the welcome!

[Nickle Love]

Mabuhay~ I'm Nickle, 27, from the Philippines, and recently shifted from my TV series addiction to reading ebooks. Yes, ebooks. As much as I would love to own physical books, I believe it's more practical to read digitally because,

1. I don't have to bring the book everywhere I go
2. I can read at night, before I sleep, without having to turn the lights on. You know, I can just drop dead/fall asleep without having to worry about the lights.
3. Physical books take up space, space that I don't have in my room. Although I would very much love to own a bookshelf/mini library

But that's just me. I do have a some books like Harry Potter set, some pocket books, a few hardbound books in a small shelf. :D

Let's be friends? Add me up. :)

[Brandt]

hi Nickle! Awesome name:) I read ebooks too, though I'd love to have a bookshelf as well. It's pretty cool how this community has people from all over the world.

[Kela Esther]

Hello, i am Esther and I am a 19 yearold college student who loves to sleep (I have REALLY learned to appreciate sleep), music, and books, and baking. Favorite book:

[Khaulah]

[Khaulah]

I forgot to mention "The fault in our stars" by John Green as one of my all time favorite books... I think this book affected me more than all the others!

Congrats! I'll look for your book ASAP. It looks interesting, right up my alley. XD

[David]

Hi Khawla!! Thanks for the congrats and welcome to the group, I'm obsessed with dystopian books at the moment too and THG and Divergent are definitely two of my favorites!!

[Katrina]

Welcome Khaulah! I am also in love with dystopians and Divergent is by far my favourite. And I love Fault in Our Stars even more! John Green is the best. Have you read his other books? Which ones do like the most?

[Jordan]

this is going to sound like a stupid question but, where can I get a fault in our stars :-D

[Katrina]

Oh, it's a pretty popular book by a pretty popular author. You should have no trouble finding it in bookstores or at the library. :)

[Jordan]

oh okay awesome, thank you, I just thought because I'm from the UK it might not be in bookstores :-)

[kathryna erika]

Hi. My name's Kathryna, 20 yrs old. I'm from the Philippines. hobbies: reading books and manga, watching TV series/movies/anime and EATING (Yeah, I love to eat). I love trilogies and series.

Believe me, where I live it's a very smart question! I downloaded the book (free ;) ) off the internet on my phone! the Font is tiny but I have no other choice, the libraries in my city are empty!!

Welcome Mia :)I can read very quickly too; I read 10 books in 2 weeks!! Reading puts you in a whole other world! :)

[asdfg]

Haha oh wow, everyone seems so nice here :D. I'm Azza, have fun figuring out how to pronounce that haha. I'm 16 (though I'm secretly still a kid on the inside). I'm easily amused and I like to read, laugh, have interesting conversations and try new things. Ahh I don't like to have favorites but books that have stuck in my mind are the Harry Potter series (brilliant), Vampire Academy (Rose is so awesome :o), Beautiful disaster by Jamie McGuire (first book that made me cry), Perfect Chemistry (or any other book by Simone Elkeles), The Hunger Games and 'His Dark Materials' collection. I'd love it if someone recommended a good book to me in the 'humor' or 'historical fiction' genre, as I've never tried those two. Anyways, enough of my babbling, take care all of yous :)

[John]

My name is Juan Alvarado. I was born in El Salvador C.A and currently live in Belize C.A. I began writing in 2008 and posted some of my work on an Internet website. After receiving positive feedback, I completed my first novel, Surviving Elite High, which is about 45,000 words. It is a Gay and Young Adult novel.

Surviving Elite High chronicles the life of a gay sixteen-year-old boy as he makes his way through life as an outcast in the shadows of an elite high school where he is tormented by two psychopathic bullies. On the verge of dropping out of school due to overdue payments, a teacher enrolls him in a tutoring program where he meets the school’s star quarterback and hero, Nick Anthony Hawking. Since he was doing poorly in several subjects, Nick needs John's help to pass and graduate high school.

As John becomes closer to the jock, he develops a strong affection towards him even though Nick has a strong reputation of sleeping around with a lot of women. Nick becomes his friend and protector in school. Their sincere friendship helps to bring out the best in each of them. Several tragedies, like a school shooting, threaten to change their young lives forever. Will they follow their own voice or return to the safety of their own shadows? Surviving Elite High is a breathtaking saga that illustrates a flourishing same-sex love, family, and friendship.

I have a non-GLBT novel call Raven and Crow: a Chain of Memories.... :-)

[Brittany]

Hello, Hello everyone. I'm Brittany and I'm 22 years old and not ashamed that I own a lot of young adult, paranormal/paranormal romance books.
I've been addicted to reading from such a young age thanks to my wonderful mother that I cannot imagine life without my books!

I am super excited to be in this group and meet people who have a similar taste in books that I do and find some new books I may have never heard of that I will most certainly be checking out!
