message 5401: by Laura (last edited Aug 22, 2017 05:13AM) (new)

Laura (username) Hi, I'm Laura.
I'm Italian, I like to watch Korean drama, play video games AND read books!
After years of paper books I went to the dark side of e-books and I would never go back.
I'm looking for friends to share opinion and recommendations about books.
My favorite genres are romance, fantasy/supernatural, crime/thriller.
I like complex plot where all the characters are well developed and interact with each other, I hate when secondary characters are just mentioned.
Romance is definitely my favorite genre, I like "love-hate relationships", love triangles and jealousy stuff (including brothers and / or daddy hyperprotective).
I like bad guys, I don't like girls too innocent and submissive.

Feel free to add me as a friend.


message 5402: by Lisa (new)

Lisa (lisapoxon03) Hey! I'm Lisa, My main reads are YA and dystopian. I live in the UK, born and bred. I love books and they have always been there through the tough times of when I was diagnosed as ADHD and Dyslexic, or when my Great-grandad died, I would go straight to either the library or my bookshelves and I would be in another world, away from all of my issues. I love books (like most of us!)

⚯͛ Chloé Mae ⚯͛ (somewhereinnarnia) Hi (: I'm Chloe, I'm 22. I really love YA fiction because the very first books that ever got me into reading were The Series of Unfortunate Events and Harry Potter; They, along with many other great YA stories have stuck with me all these years, & of course, I've gained new favorites along the way! As I've gotten a little older, though, I've also come to love a good romance... anything from Jane Austen, to Nicholas Sparks & in between.

I don't have many friends that share my passion for books, so if you want to, feel free to add or message me :)

Tiegan (tiegan_pupos) Erika wrote: "What's your name? Favorite book? Author?"

Hello, I'm Tiegan. I suppose I'll list Harry Potter as my favorite series of books (I re-read it every year). Which pushes me to say J.K. Rowling is my favorite author. However, this question is so hard - it's like asking a parent who their favorite child is! =)
I have an MLIS and hope to make it to a Teen Librarian position. I love to inspire teens to read some of my favorite YA books, but also love to meet adults who read YA and discuss great YA books.


message 5408: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Hello everyone!! I'm Alaina and I absolutely love to read. I pretty much read every genre--so I don't really have a favorite (but I do tend to read a lot of YA). As for favorite books, oh lord, there are so many. I was obsessed with the harry potter books, divergent series, the red queen, vampire academy, and probably a lot more that I just can't remember at the moment. As for favorite author, I love Meg Cabot, Jodi Picoult, Veronica Roth, Victoria Aveyard, and Richelle Mead. I am always open to recommendations and if you want one from me I'd be happy to share. Other than reading I love to cook, play with my dogs, and run.

I'm always looking for GR friends too so add me if you want :)


message 5409: by Avely (new)

Avely (avely89) Hey hoo!
My name is Avely.
There are so many books that I love, but my all time favorite is Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire and my current favorite author is Colleen Hoover.


message 5410: by Felicia (new)

Felicia Hiya all! I'm new to the group! And fairly new to Goodreads, been a member since June, I think?

Anywho, I love YA books! Mostly YA fantasy. And I prefer to read a series over a stand alone book.

My favorite author is Sarah J Maas. So it's only natural that SJM's Throne of Glass series is my favorite. (: (Tower of Dawn comes out in 12 days! Woooo!!!)

I love meeting new people. Especially people who will talk to me about books and people who love books as much as I do!

So nice to meet everyone! :D


message 5411: by Bee (new)

Bee (beemcreads) Hi guys, I'm Bee. My favourite book(s) are Clockwork Princess, all of the Maze Runner series, the HP series and The Magician's Guild :)


My Fictional Romance | 6 comments Hey, I'm Analiese! I'm new to the book blogging/rating scene, but have been an avid reader my entire life. Because I'm a loyal person, I would probably have to say the Harry Potter series comprise the bulk of my favorite books list. My favorite author would be a tie between Sarah J. Maas and Marissa Meyer - I love their writing styles and seriously wish I could hijack their brains (at least when I'm writing...)

I can't wait to get to know you all!


message 5413: by Gerhard (new)

Gerhard Gehrke | 1 comments I usually don't know something is YA until after reading it. It's always interesting hearing what actually consists of YA, but usually it boils down to character age, and many of my all time favorite Sci-fi novels have young characters.

I write YA myself (accidentally, see above.) I'm the author of the Superhero High series coming out next month. I'm happy to hear about recommendations for things to read.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!


message 5414: by Katrina (last edited Aug 27, 2017 02:32AM) (new)

Katrina Forest | 1 comments Hi everyone! I'm a newbie as well!

Analiese, you've got a fellow Harry Potter fan right here! :) Just watch the third movie with my kids last night. (We read the book together months ago, but hearing a dementor described in the book versus seeing it on the screen... I thought it might scare them. It didn't. Typical overworrying mom.)


message 5415: by Anca (new)

Anca Hi,
My name is Anca, I live in The Netherlands and I read anything and everything, but YA just so happens to be my favorite :)

I just finished Six of Crows on Saturday and immediately started Crooked Kingdom. This duology is just so good and I'm going to be a little sad when I've finished it...


message 5416: by [deleted user] (new)

What's your name? Favorite book? Author?

JK Rowling and Cassandra Clare are my favourite authors at the moment, and I'm afraid that it might always stay that way because I'm struggling to find books that I connect with. Thats why I'm here! I get really enthusiastic when I finish a good book and LOVE to discuss it but also struggle with finding people with the same love! Cant wait to get involved. 😍

message 5437: by Kira (new)

Kira Carter (kiracarter) | 7 comments Hi! My name is Kira, and I read and write YA. (And read a bunch of other genres. If only I could just read all day...) I really enjoyed the Crank series by Ellen Hopkins (wasn't sure about the verse style at first, but I became completely immersed in the books), and I loved Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.
Recently I read Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda--great narrative voice.
I love the range of genres, subjects, and narrators in YA and look forward to discovering some new books.


message 5438: by Nadia (new)

Nadia Awadi (books_anime_food_addict) Hi my name is Nadia and I'm a bookworm who decided to start joining groups and make friends on GR. I usually don't do these things in real life, If I seem like a weirdo, Don't worry. I'm actually a weirdo.

Favorite authors: Jennifer L. armentrout, Melina marchetta and Colleen hoover. I do read New adult and Romance too but I usually read YA.
