E. (erintheinvader) | 7 comments Hi everyone! My name is Erin. YA books have always kinda been my favorite, although I don't think I could list a specific book or author (there are just too many good ones!).

I am Misty Hayes and I voraciously devour anything YA. I'm looking for a fantastic fast read with a ton of great characters. Anyone have any suggestions? I am trying to expand my horizons on Goodreads... if you're an expert I could use some tutelage.

message 5559: by Katie (new)

Katie Millington (Gordon) Hello!
my name is Katie, I love multiple genre's of books but I gravitate more so to the ya books whenever I reach for one.
My favorite book so far would have to be Splintered by A.G. Howard, i absolutly love that trilogy and would love to make dolls of the characters once i have more free time.
My favorite author at the moment would have to be J.R. Ward she isnt a ya author, but im still trying out authors of the ya genre and there isnt one yet that i can pinpoint as my all or none author.
I hope to get to know a bunch of people and enjoy my time in this group!
Happy Reading!

Sarah Oksana | 3 comments Hello guys I'm a 21 year old Law student currently obtaining my degree from the University of London. However in my sparetime I enjoy indulging in the mind of the readers through writing. I have a love for true crime stories also myths. I was inspired by a number of events I've watched , read and learned over the years. Here is the synopsis of my first book in this series.


Vermont is a supernatural/crime fiction based in a town called Unknown where the population is full of mystical creatures and there's no human existence. When a young New Yorker Diana McKenzie mysteriously gets turned into a vampire she meets an ancient woman called the Voodoo Queen who guides her to the Unknown town and helps her through her new fate. As Diana gets familiar with the strange town she bonds with a revolutionary detective to help solve a gruesome crime. This book is available on Amazon & Kindle Vermont

message 5589: by Dana (new)

Dana Lockhart (danalockhart411) | 2 comments I'm author Dana Lockhart. Fantasy is by far my favorite genre, especially if there are dragons and sword fights and magic. My favorite young adult books are probably The Mortal Instrument Series (I'm delighted to see a Cassandra Clare quote for this group!). There's something about YA that really hooks you and doesn't let you go until the series is over, and even then it can leave you craving more!

I'm currently trying to publish my first novel, which is young adult urban fantasy called The Un-Life of William Moore. You can get a free copy by voting for it on Kindle Scout, a reader-based program by Amazon that helps publish never before published books. All voters get a free copy of the ebook if it's selected! Voting ends Feb 2. The first chapter is available to read on Kindle Scout, and the second can be found on my website www.danalockhart.com. Happy reading!

Joji Grey (jojiviktorgrey) | 1 comments Hi y'all! My name is Joji :) I'm disabled and spend (probably) way too much time reading (and playing video games but that is not what I'm here for lol). I couldn't pick a single favorite book or author but currently I'm madly in love with Leigh Bardugo's work (anything from the Grishaverse has my heart). I read mostly middle grade/ YA fantasy and horror but occasionally branch out to authors like BROM or Tolkien. Anyway! Just thought I would introduce myself. :)

P.S. Meraux Hi, I'm a rabid YA reader and author of the award-winning YA series known as the Luminary saga about soul mates. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XUJKT6S

I'm a fan of Twilight, The Mortal Instruments, Eragon (I'm a dragon rider in my dreams), Harry Potter, Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, and A Shade of Vampire. I admire the writing of Rick Riordan, John Green and C.S. Lewis.

I couldn't bring myself to even crack open the cover of '50 Shades.' My big sister filled me in on enough details that I gagged.

I look forward to joining the discussions in this group and posing questions to spawn more. 'Everyone here is so welcoming.' Wink.

I love to read contemporary, fantasy, YA and other genres jut as long as the story is good! I want to explore the world of books and find interesting and new stories to read!
