message 5351: by dan (new)

dan (danthequeer) Hi, I'm Daniel and I'm in love with all YA books. Fantasy is my favorite genre and I love all of Sarah J. Maas's books. I, of course, love Harry Potter and Percy Jackson (and its spinoffs), the two greatest series in the world, and I still reread them whenever I feel like it. I just started reading Cassandra Clare's Shadowhunter Chronicles and I'm on the third book of the Mortal Instruments.

Erin (erinashems) My name is Erin!

I absolutely love YA lit and read as much as I can.

Currently, I'm reading some books for my Master's class in Library Science, but I'm also rereading Harry Potter because... why not?

I'm annoyingly active on Goodreads, so I'd love to chat books with y'all!
:)

message 5361: by Kevin (last edited Jul 25, 2017 10:29PM) (new)

Kevin Fair | 2 comments Life sucks. When I tell you that, growing up, I read and wrote damn near every day, it was serious. But then life has to go and rear its ugly, stupid head in the way and suddenly you're in your 20's and adulting, and forget all about the stuff you used to do. Well, enough of that. I'm back to reading and writing.

Oh, by the way. Hi, I'm Kevin.

Hi Kevin, cheer up and write the best damn things you can.


message 5363: by Anna (new)

Anna Lane (annaklane) | 33 comments Hi, I'm Anna from Canada (that rhymes!) Love YA books obviously, love it so much I decided to write one. I look for mainly light sci-fi & fantasy or cross genres and try to find little gems. Occasionally, I'll pick up a middle-grade. Recently finished the Lunar Chronicles- it took me over a month. I'm currently reading Elise Kova Loom Saga 1-her new dragon Loom 2 is out this month so I thought I'll try something new. I'll check out your BOTM!

message 5365: by Nonem (new)

Nonem (n0nem) | 5 comments Hello, my name's Em (a pretty common name here, yes, but that's not my real one anyway) and I recently got back to reading books again. I'm busy juggling a whole lot of things at the same time and I don't follow my own schedule so it sometimes takes me a week or less to finish reading a book.

I don't really talk much but I'll still be visiting the group from time to time and see if there are any other topics that pique my interest.


message 5366: by emi (new)

emi (misssweetness) | 36 comments I think I already introduced myself on here, but YOU KNOW WHAT, I'm feeling social, so I'm gonna be an annoying idiot, and introduce my damn self all over again. What do you need to know about me? Okay, apart from the fact that I like reading, dogs and chocolate ... I'm also an athlete... yes.. I can see you shaking your head, thinking i'm a good for nothing couch potato. But, I swim quite a lot, and so yeah, that's that. lol I'm a bore, I'll just leave. Also, if you're looking for a friend, HIT ME UP, I'm trying to reach my goal of 500 friends here on GR, so if you're interested in reading crappy reviews, you know where to find me.

message 5382: by Matt (new)

Matt Ewens | 1 comments Hello, I'm a writer of fiction - mainly children's fiction. I went through a horror phase and featured on the Darkertimes website as a winner, runner up for various short stories and poetry.

I've just self-published a children's fantasy book, probably aimed at 11+ - not too sure what age YA starts from, but hopefully my book appeals to young adults as well!

My favourite authors are Fred and Geoffrey Hoyle, Stephen King, H.G.Wells, David Gemmell and Eric Van Lustbader.

Favourite book? hmmm hard question, probably something like Do Andriods Dream of Electric Sheep - ah another fav author Philip K.Dick!

Cheers

Matt
