Hi Scarlett! I wish to visit New Zealand someday- once I have money and time :)
Hi all! I'm Andrea and live in the USA. I am the author of the soon-to-be-published series, The Tabitha Hale Saga, and my all time favorite author is David Eddings. The young adult genre is what I most gravitate towards reading. =)http://www.andreagerber.com

I LOVE Game of Thrones! The books were fantastic and the show keeps pretty close to the storyline!

Yeah, it's great!:) I'm going to check out your book sometime- it sounds very interesting!
Hello! My name is Kim, and I am a middle school teacher (grades 6-8) in central Missouri (USA). Reading is a way for me to connect with students, and to escape reality for a little while. Also, I love spending time with my family and pets, watching movies, and learning more about technology to use in my classroom. Some of my favorite authors are Scott Westerfeld, Maggie Stiefvater, and Sherrilyn Kenyon. I will read just about anything dsytopian, and adore science fiction and fantasy books. Currently, I am working my way through 16 books from our middle school library.

That's the title of the album I'm working on (I'm a musician). Sounds like you've got a great job!:)
Hey, yall! My name is Michaela, I'm 15 years old and I'm from the US! I'm pretty much southern as they come, but, unlike the stereotype we get around the south, I'm not a complete redneck. My hobbies include cheer, dance, and, of course, reading. It's hard to choose a facorite book, so I'll just list a few: The Hunger Games Trilogy, Divergent and Insurgent (anxiously awaiting the 3rd book) and anything by Nicholas Sparks!
Hi, I'm Jordan. I'm 16 almost 17 :) and from the U.S.I love reading and I love to sing and dance.
I've been a little wary about joining a bookclub on goodreads, but this just looked so welcoming I decided to take a chance...
I love lots of different kinds of books but I love the Gone series by Michael Grant, I just read Delirium by Lauren Oliver and LOVED IT!, and I love John Green. I'll really read anything. I also just read Bumped and Thumped by Megan McCafferty. Those were cool. Really I like fun books that are also thought-provoking, and make you think about things you have never thought about before.
Hi Kim, Michaela, and Jordan! Welcome the group! I'm Ally, nice to meet you :) @Michaela - I love all of those books! Though I can't say I've read much Nicholas Sparks...
@Jordan - I LOVE John Green books. You should totally check out his youtube channel if you haven't already, very funny.
Welcome Michaela and Jordan! It's great to have you both here. Michaela- I love The Hunger Games and a lot of people are saying that the soon-to-be Divergent trilogy is up to par with it, so I'm excited to read it!
Jordan- I have been a member of Goodreads for a little more than a week (I think?) and I was hesitant about joining a bookclub too. But I'm so glad I did, because I've met some awesome people and have discovered some great books!

Personally, I like Divergent more than The Hunger Games. You should definitely read it!
My name is Morgan, I am 16 and live in Canada. I'm currently in love with The Maze Runner series even though I didn't like the first book until after reading the second.. funny how it works. I play three different instruments and take several music courses and love to volunteer. Of course though, I love getting absorbed in a book and living in another world for a day.
Mod
Btw I LOVE The Maze Runner too Morgan!
My name is Reyes I live in the USA and love to read books... The books I love are The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins and The Maze Runner Series by James Dashner. I love to play guitar,read,play,etc.. And that is me!!!

I know August 14, 2012 can't wait... Thanks

It was a fun but tough couple of years with that age group :) I admire anyone who sticks it out for the long haul!
hi i am Anne, i live in Singapore... i like young adult fiction and now i am reading Hush Hush!
Brandt wrote: Welcome Kim! That's funny that you mentioned 'escape reality'. That's the title of the album I'm working on (I'm a musician). Sounds like you've got a great job!:) Thanks for being the first to welcome me Brandt! Escaping reality keeps me sane. Seriously though, I think the longer a person teaches the more he/she develops traits of his/her students. I do like my job.
Good luck with your music!
Hi!My name is Lenon, I'm 20 years olf and I am from Brazil.

Welcome and any recommendations are welcome- I just finished my own YA book, so now am looking for a few good reads :)

Hello, I'm 31, a mom, wife, teacher, and author. My hobby is writing. My country is USA. I just launched my YA novel in May 2012. I live in Florida and love the beach, boating, or anything with water. Superhero T-shirts, graphic novels, and movies are my favorite. I'm also a romantic at heart, so a good love story goes a long way with me. Nice to meet everyone!
Hi everyone. I'm Rachel, 27, from USA, cubicle worker and book lover. I love YA but it's hard to pick a favorite book. My favorite series include Harry Potter (of course), Twilight (yeah yeah), Hunger Games, Cassandra Clare's series and the Nicholas Flamel series. I also just finished Insurgent, book 2 of the Divergent series and I really liked it.
