message 5501: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Xu (sarah_xu) Hello to everyone! My name is Sarah and I love YA fantasy but will readily read sci-fi and historical fiction. Anything else, I can manage to read but I probably won't like it as much. My favorite author has to be Laini Taylor, I just love the way she writes (I think it's considered prose?). I love the classic Grimm fairytales and I'm currently head over heels in love with The Language of Thorns by Leigh Bardugo, I mean how could I not with the breathtaking illustrations? I'm very new to Goodreads and wouldn't mind someone giving me a rundown on how to use this... I never realized how much Goodreads could do. Anyways, I'm excited to be a part of this group!

Michelle Alstead Hi! I'm Michelle, a GoodReads author. I currently have a young adult series in the works. It's a supernatural/fantasy with metaphors. I try to keep my novels slightly grounded in reality so teens have something to relate to. The first chapter is posted. I'm curious to hear from readers as to what makes a YA novel and what they love about the genre.

message 5512: by Colton (new)

Colton (coltonauandromedus) Hey guys!

I'm Colton, an avid reader of young adult fic. In addition to my YA readings, I enjoy the occasional horror, fantasy, poetry collection, and sometimes I dabble in non-fiction. My favorite book(s), aside from Potter, would be the Red Rising trilogy by Pierce Brown. I'd have to say my favorite YA novel, however, is All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven.

Look forward to being engaged with this group!

message 5517: by R.S. (last edited Nov 23, 2017 10:11PM) (new)

R.S. Merritt | 148 comments Hello. I'm R.S. Merritt and my favorite book of all time would be.... (I have like a million of them! When we moved recently I filled up box after heavy, heavy, heavy box with books. I really enjoy SM Stirling, Dean Koontz, Steven King, Rowling, Tolkien and the list just keeps on going. I grew up in lighthouses and on islands so reading was pretty critical! (NO CABLE or INTERNET can you even Imagine!!!!)

I've started pouring some spare time into a new love of mine. Writing! I've gotten one Zombie series almost wrapped up. Working through book 6 now. It's a lot like reading. Except I have to stop and write down the story that's in my head and I get to be the guide instead of following the path set by the author when I'm reading.

If you get a chance let me know if you like them!

It All Started

The second one is actually FREE until Nov 26th if you happen to see this before then. Just assume you're going to want the rest of them too!

Cruising the 'Poc (Zournal #2) by R.S. Merritt is the FREE one until the 26th anyway.

I hope you all had an AWESOME Thanksgiving.

R.S. Merritt


Maggie the Muskoka Library Mouse (mcurry1990) Hello everyone! My name is Margaret, and I've joined your group so I can get some exposure to more YA titles and series. I work in a library, and I'm not as up to date as I should be on the popular choices these days! ;) Lately I have been enjoying Cassandra Clare's "Mortal Instruments" series, and Lauren DeStefano's "Chemical Garden" trilogy.


message 5519: by Erika (new)

message 5520: by Raven (new)

Raven Black (ravenblack44) | 17 comments Hi guys, I am Jessica and I’m obsessed with YA books. When I first started getting back into them (mind you I used to be a hard core fear street fan) I found the Lunar Chronicles books and fell madly in love with all of them. So afterwards, I started buying and (currently) reading books in YA. It has brought back so many memories. I am looking forward to discussing books with you all. xo

message 5522: by Myles (new)

Myles (cinnaure) Hi, my name is Boom! I'm a big reader, and I have actively read since about the 6th grade. I'm obsessed with YA Contemporary Books, but not necessarily the romance kind, although a little is okay. I love to read action/horror/thriller/sci-fi/realistic/ and so many more types of books. I don't think I could choose a favorite book, I like so many and read so much. In my free time I love to write, and read of course, and I'm excited to be here and love being recommended new titles.

message 5524: by Xander (new)

Xander Wayne (orginalxander) | 1 comments Hello, my name is Xander. For right now my favorite book is Zoo by James Patterson. As for favorite author I guess I would have to go with Jennifer L. Armentrout or J. Lynn. I know that she writes mostly YA and romance books but I have two younger sisters that make me read those kind of books and I find that I quite enjoy her writing. I do have a question; what does this group entail? I am making sure that the groups are okay for my younger sisters to join. Is this group okay for an 18 and 16 year old?

Gabe (bluetrue02) Hi everyone! I'm Gabby. I joined this group to, hopefully, engage in some stimulating discussion about some of my favorite YA titles. I am currently reading When the Moon Was Ours. I also just got around to reading Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, which has solidified itself as one of my all-time favorite books. Some of my favorite authors are Neil Gaiman, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Adam Silvera. However, I frequently swap out authors depending on my current literary obsessions.

message 5535: by Samantha (new)

Samantha I'm Samantha! I've been part of communities on Facebook and Fanfiction.net but never goodreads so I figured I'd try this out here! I pretty much exist to read. I always have a book with me and actually feel nervous without one, even when socializing. I just hate being bored and love having a book as a backup for any moment. I read in the hallway, in the bathroom, listen to audio books in the car no matter how short the distance, and right before bed. So pretty much everywhere I can. Love it.


message 5536: by Samantha (new)

Samantha I'm Samantha and I love to read. My favourite book would be throne of glass and my favourite author is Melissa Meyer.


message 5537: by queen0f_hearts (new)

queen0f_hearts Hello, I’m new here but not new to goodreads^^ I’m 28 years old and have been eager to read books (and manga) since I can remember. My fav genres are fantasy and kind of historic settings, at least having some nobility included. My fav authors would be J.K. Rowling because she is the best (!), Marissa Meyer, Sarah Rees Brennan and C.S. Pacat.


message 5538: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (JenIsNotaBookSnob) (jenisnotabooksnob) | 6 comments Hi, I'm Jennifer. It is just about impossible for me to pick a favorite book, however, I would have to pick "All Creatures Great and Small" by James Herriot who also happens to be my favorite author. (No, that is not YA, it's a fairly old adult fiction book about a veterinarian in the Yorkshire region in around the 1920'3-1940's or thereabouts.) I had to pick that as my favorite because as a teen I was obsessed.

I work in the teen area of a public library and am trying to get caught up on more YA books. :) Feel free to add me.


message 5539: by Gabby (new)

Gabby | 1 comments Hi, my name is Gabby. My favorite book is The City of Bones by Cassandra Clare.

message 5544: by Isabella (new)

Isabella | 2 comments Hello! My name is Isabella and, as with the rest of the people above, I love to read! So much that my friends think I'm weird. I have no favorite book, only a bunch of ones that I like. These include; The shadowhunters series, The Lunar Chronicles, Carve the mark, and so much more that I can't think of at the moment. I love YA fantasy books and just fantasy in general. I'm also super awkward, so I may not be the best friend choice, but I am very happy to talk about books!
