message 5151: by Alice (new)

Alice Mc Hi everyone,

I'm Alice, a London-based bookworm. I read all sorts of different books, but until recently hadn't been reading much YA. I decided to give it another try, and picked up Cinder to put some of the fun and magic back into books - and it really worked!

I absolutely loved Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, and hoping to find great more series like these that glue me to the pages.

Janett (sweetwaterspice) | 3532 comments Hi!

My name is Janett and I'm addicted to YA novels! I love to read and discuss all of my favorite YA novels! Hope to connect with others who love this genre as much as I do.

Now, I've got to go and defend my dreamboat, Will Herondale :p

Skyla Smith | 4 comments Hi, I'm Skyla. I like to say that I write as a hobby (thought it's really hard to find time to write in my busy schedule) and I am kind of a YA addict. I have read and enjoyed a few other books that aren't YA but for the most part I tend to enjoy YA books way more. I have a tendency to go through fazes. Lately I've been reading a lot of fantasy and I am particularly obsessed with the Throne of Glass series. Anyone else excited for the sixth book to come out this September?!

Hi. :-) I am also a huge Sarah J Maas fan. I can't wait for the sixth Throne of Glass book that's coming out this September (...I think...) I took a look at your blog and it looks really cool. I like the name Bookish Blessings. It sounds like something out of a fan-girl fairy-tale. I'm Skyla by the way.


message 5156: by Nigel (new)

Nigel | 3 comments Hi guys, I'm Nigel. I really love fantasy. I've recently read the Oracus Series which must be my favourite of all young-adult fantasy. Middle-grade novels have to be the Kingkiller Series, but the third book is taking far too long. Anyone have any other recommendations?


message 5157: by Lindsey (new)

Lindsey Swieringa | 6 comments Hi, My name is Lindsey. I love YA and I rarely read anything else. I have recently started a booktube channel called LunaReads. My favorite book is Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon. My favorite authors are, J.K Rowling, Cassandra Clare, and Kiera Cass

I've just discovered this series too and Yeeessss! I am totally obsessed! I am almost through with "Queen of Shadows" and will start "Empire of Storms" very soon. But I can't wait to get my hands on Chaol's novel in September! I'm drooling already!


message 5159: by Shelby (new)

Shelby Hey I'm Shelby. My favorite book is Legend by Marie Lu. I have a giant TBR shelf and trust me its getting bigger by the moment.

Welcome, Arya. That's quite a list! If you had to choose just one, which one would it be?

And is your name Arya because of fortune or because it was influenced by Game of Thrones or Eragon?


message 5162: by Max (new)

Max S. Hi my name is Max and I love anything by Cassandra Clare, Leigh Bardugo, Stephen King, and Rick Riordan. But if I had to choose one book it would be Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo.

I love anything by Sarah J. Maas. She is an amazing author! If you haven't read any of her books...YOU MUST! Her character development is out of this universe! I have not read anything better than her stuff. She is on a different level than any other YA author to me! Hope that helps!

My favorite book of all time is 1984 by George Orwell. I love it, just can't get it out of my head. I still haven't decided who my favorite author is. Everytime I pick, someone new and awesome comes to mind ;)

message 5168: by Nina (new)

Nina (linearclaw) Um, I'm Nina. I'm 28, have a fulltime job, four kids, and a loving partner.

I joined Goodreads just last month and I'm trying to use it to its fullest. So far its been fun, and now I'm trying to explore groups.

My favorite YA Author is Amanda Hocking because so far she is the only Author I have liked all the books ( ive read anyway) that she has written.
My favorite YA novels thus far are the Chemical Garden series. I like fantasy books more than anything. Which is to say I cant really bring myself to get into modern day books like P.S I like you, and Everything Everything.


message 5169: by Jeneane (new)

Jeneane (zelfia) | 2 comments Hiya! My name is Jeneane~ I greatly enjoy reading YA books and it has been quite entertaining so far. Favorite book? I don't have one!

The Raven Cycle, Worldwalker trilogy, Fire and Thorns series,, the Harry Potter series, Spiritwalker....ect! ha ha

My favorite authors are JK Rowling, Leigh Bardugo, Cassandra Clare, Sabaa Tahir, Marie Lu, JRR Tolkien, and Sarah J Maas (although I haven't been a huge fan of her latest ToG books, unfortunately).


message 5172: by Jasmine (last edited Mar 14, 2017 12:28PM) (new)

Jasmine Hey everyone! :)

My name is Jasmine! I'm really looking forward to interacting with people who love to read as much as I do! I'm turning 21 next month, and I'm in school for hospitality. YA fiction is my favourite to read, right next to historical fiction.

I took french immersion for 12 years so for the most part, I can speak French! I love to learn, with a huge focus on Historical fiction and Geography.

I'm SO excited to finally interact with people like me! Don't hesitate to message me, I love making new friends! Shoot me a friend request, I'd love to talk to anyone!


message 5173: by Ashley (new)

Ashley Earley (ashley_earley) | 8 comments Hi, my name is Ashley! I love YA fiction, but I'm a total geek for fantasy. I'm turning 21 in a few months and I am a creative writing major. I devour YA books as much as I can between my studies.

I'm also a writer! So sometimes, if I have the time, I choose to write over reading. I write YA books because they inspire me the most and I love writing adventure.

I love talking to others that love to write/read! :)

message 5181: by Sherouk (new)

Sherouk | 3 comments Hi!
My name is Sherouk, you might have trouble trying to pronounce it but it gets easier, and I’m writing a book, my inner thoughts in words. I have always had these dreams, these ideas, while being both awake and asleep. I have always had these crazy but interesting stories, the stories where I ran and needed to get away from the real life. The stories that kept me believing in a better world, a better future, no matter how hard it was or was going to get. And I just want to share what was, still is, going on in my head with you. So I would really appreciate if you check out what I wrote and tell me what you think about, no matter how harsh your opinion could be. The books genres are science fiction, fantasy, romance and young adult. The book is called “All three”.

Really appreciate this, Nigel, thank you. Glad you enjoyed the books so much. Recommendations for more? Have you tried Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle?


message 5185: by Alexandra (new)

Alexandra Llorens Hello :) My name is Alex. As it says on my profile, I am a real world escapee, and YA books help with that a lot! I don't like to idea of playing favorites, but I have to say Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 is the book that made a major impact on me. For authors, I definitely would have to say Jane Austen or Charlotte Bronte. Girl power! Cliche or not those women created masterpieces! I'm also a novice tarot reader so if anyone is interested in a quick read hit me up! The practice is always much appreciated! Looking forward to bantering and raving about books with you guys!

ey °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ (fpdixptkfl) Hi!! My name is Thesally and I am from the Philippines! I love reading YA books (and books in general). I am a big fan of books that were written by Cassandra Clare (YA), and Colleen Hoover (NA). My favorite YA books/book series are Shatter Me Series, TMI, TID, Anna&TFKK, Lola&TBND, and Isla&THEA.

Recommend me some of your favorites so that I can read them!! :D


message 5192: by The Book Crusader (last edited Apr 02, 2017 03:50PM) (new)

The Book Crusader (thebookcrusader) | 13 comments My name is Marcus Anderson, though I already know you are going to forget my name (everyone always does).

Yes, I am a superhero, and I do have a multitude of incredible super powers. My favorite is my frost breath, which I use to put my enemies on ice (pun heavily intended).

I also want to have my own Youtube series like Doug Walker and James Rolfe. I would review books (mostly bad) and react appropriately. For instance, in regards to the piece of shit that is The DUFF: I would tell everyone all the reasons the book is garbage and end my review by hurling it into the air and destroying it with my heat vision.

Justine (Milkz)  (milkz) I don't think I've done this yet even though I've been lurking in this group for awhile lol...
