Books, Cooks, & Hooks (bookscookshooks) | 2 comments Hi, Amy here. I am the author of Books, Cooks, & Hooks, a brand spanking new blog. Most of what I cover in the blog is books, which are my FAVORITE, specifically young adult books. I have worked at a library for almost 20 years, so I have read hundreds of young adult books and other genres too. My favorite authors right now are Cat Winters and Madeleine Roux. Paranormal historical fiction is my favorite genre right now as well. I am looking forward to making some connections and chatting about books, books, books!!

Candice (lcandicemarie) Hey everyone! I'm Candice. I'm a bit out of the range for YA as others would tell me (22, yeah right, lol.) I love fantasy, and I've noticed that YA has been stepping it up in some places. I'm a little behind on reading, but I'm hoping to meet new people and make some friends while we talk about the awesomeness of books. :)

My favorite book currently is Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo. And this might sound extreme, but my favorite author is Brandon Sanderson, even though I haven't finished Mistborn yet (my first book reading by him.) I'm about 20 pages into it, and I'm already blown away. I don't think any book has ever done that to me.
Not to mention, he does amazing lectures for aspiring writers--like me!

Molly Mulligan Hi! I'm Molly, and I love YA among other genres. Sorry, but my favorites are a little predictable....Harry Potter!! I still re-read the entire series every year or two :)

I also just read and enjoyed the Court of Thorns and Roses Series, although these are definitely more New Adult than YA.

I also just published my first book! A YA/NA retelling of Peter Pan :)

Though I follow a lot of YA authors, my faves right now are Maggie Stiefvater and Victoria Schwab (I have discovered the latter only recently and she keeps breaking my heart time after time but I can't stop reading her books). I love urban fantasy and crime books the most but any fantasy is nice and an occasional romance or sci-fi happens to me as well. I have little to no free time but I try to pop up here and there every so often so please be my friends and talk YA books with me!

message 5725: by Chris (new)

Chris Bustamante | 1 comments Hey all my name is Chris. I recently finished "The Kill Order," Dashner's Maze Runner prequel. I tend to favor Dystopian and Futuristic Fantasy type stories, but also love classics like The Lion Witch and The Wardrobe, Lord of the Rings, and more. I have not picked out my next book and am open to suggestions. I should probably mention that I'm new to GoodReads and am hoping this will be a great way for me to find books I'll enjoy finishing. I would definitely say that romance is not within my genre. I tried to read, "All the Birds in the Sky" recently by Charlie Jane Anders and could not stay focused. I didn't finish it unfortunately. That aside, I'm happy to be part of this group and looking forward to interacting with everyone!

message 5729: by Aneil (new)

Aneil Komal (aneilkomal) Hi,

I am Aneil. I am a first time author. Unfortunately, literary agents do not believe my book is worthy of their time but I believe my novella, The Guardian Angel, is worth the reader's time. I want to be a writer for television and film. I just want my book to be a sign that I can pursue my dream.

I'm Jim, an Indie author. I write about the Middle Ages of a time when witchcraft was on every side of you, death was on every side of you, and only the luckiest and fittest survived.
I love the themes of love, the complexity of humanity, how, we, us, tick. That Fortunes Wheel is always turning and sometimes when those with canny wits take charge of their destiny they can establish fortunes that those of us their descendants can cherish. I write about my ancestor, Morgund MacAedh, the founder of clan MacKay:

message 5733: by Sara (new)

Sara Lourenço (righthandwoman) I've never been in a goodreads-group before, so I hope I'm doing this right.

Hey, my name's Sara and my favourite book series is the Raven Cycle from Maggie Stiefvater (, she's also my favourite author).
I think, for me, the most important part in a book are the characters. That's why I love TRC so much, the boys in the books have found a way into my heart.

I also love books like Clockwork Angel, We Were Liars, Aristotle And Dante Discover The Secrets Of The Universe, The Foxhole Court..

I guess you could say my story is a continuation, for it takes place 200 years after the original tale. However, it centers more around her sisters and their descendants.
