message 5801: by Samantha (new)

Samantha Mullins (hixxup79) Hello there, not a new member, but it's been a while since i've seriously been on Goodreads. So I figured I'd reintroduce myself and bring myself back into the fold. Well as much as I can.

C.J. Persson | 5 comments Hi! I'm Johan, born and raised in Sweden. In splendidly unoriginal fashion I started my love for books with Harry Potter. I'll read everything under the sun (more often moon, I guess) but YA holds a special place in my heart.

Looking forward to seeing what books suggestions crop up here since I've been light on my YA reading recently. Feel free to add or message me!

Felicia Hi! My name is Felicia, I'm 18 years old and live in Sweden. I've always loved to read, but it was just recently that I got back into reading after a couple of years of not reading very much. So I am super-excited! Some of my favourite YA books are The Sky is Everywhere, The Fault in Our Stars and The Infernal Devides-series. Currently I'm reading "Midnight Sun" by Trish Cook.

I am new to goodreads and also this group-thing but I hope it will be fun!

Ash Reads Fantasy (ashreadsfantasy) Hi I'm Ash I'm 26 and just started getting back into YA again after a really long reading slump. Nice to see I'm not the only adult who loves YA like me. I love talking about books and checking out what other people recommend 😀

Ronja (roversdochter_reviews) | 13 comments Heyy, my name's Ronja. I'm 20 years old and I'm from The Netherlands. I am new on Goodreads (even though my account is older). My favourite books are (for now) Am I Normal Yet, and the entirety of The Raven Cycle.
Holly Bourne and Maggie Stiefvater are my favourite writers in general, so I hope to read a lot more of them.

message 5816: by Leah (new)

Leah Spiegel | 2 comments Hi, my names Leah. My favorite books are Twilight and Harry Potter, among others! I’m the author of the Foolish Games Series. I’m joining this club to share books, and learn how to write better reviews! Thanks!


message 5817: by Shinee'sBack! (new)

Shinee'sBack! Hi! My name's Alex. I like Harry Potter, Skulduggery Pleasant, Throne of Glass and Six of Crows as some of my favourites.

I joined this group to hopefully make new friends to talk about books with, and to find new books. I dabble a wee bit in writing too, so i'd love to talk to any writers out there think too!


message 5818: by Chio (new)

Chio Zoe | 12 comments Hi. My name is Chio. The list is long but some of my favourite books are Six of Crows, A Court of Thorns and Roses, Throne of Glass, Harry Potter, (all the books in the series). Some of my favourite authors are the writers of these series, Leigh Bardugo, Sarah J Mass and J.K. Rowling.

I joined this group to be a part of the book community. It's quite hard when you have almost no one to share similar interests with.

Hi, we have similar taste in books. I'll have to check out Skulduggery Pleasant. It's sad to admit it, but I don't know it.


message 5820: by Eve (new)

Eve (pricklycactus) | 1 comments Hi! My name is Elizabeth, I am 18 years old and I'm from the Netherlands.

I pretty much like any book that has fantasy elements to it, but my true weakness is historical fantasy, which I discovered only recently.

I am specialized in Homeopathy for dogs, I am a Canine Masseur and I am currently studying to become a Physical Therapist for working animals. (Yes, I am obsessed with dogs, I currently have eight, oops)

I joined this group in the hope to make some new friends and get some good book recommendations in the mean time.

Heres to a good time ;D

Hi Chio! I'm glad to meet someone else with with similar reading interests too. I looked at your bio, and 'To Cross a Blade and Dagger' sounds AMAZING.

You're right about it being hard when you can't share your interests - none of my friends read the same things i do (or read much at all) so it can be hard to have a conversation about books with them. So glad i joined goodreads!

And i really hope you enjoy Skulduggery Pleasant, admittedly i haven't read every book in the series yet but i've loved it so far. A lot of people i've come across haven't heard of it either so i'm spreading the word :)

Hi! I like fantasy and historical fantasy too, one HF i'm hoping to read soon is Night Circus, i've heard good things.
Your job sounds lovely! What kind of dogs do you have? I have an old black (now slightly graying) cocker spaniel called Freddy :D

Glad you like the idea behind To Cross a Blade and Dagger.
I'm looking forward to following up on book recommendations by you and others with similar interests.


message 5824: by Megan (new)

Megan Paull | 1 comments Hi!
I’m Megan and I’m 36. I just found the Good Reads app about a month ago and just learnt today there are online book clubs 😮😁
I love reading YA and in particular, love fantasy books and distopian society based books (I’ve just started the Unwind series). So am stoked to find people with a similar interest 😁


message 5825: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca | 2 comments Hi, I’m Rebecca. I can’t really chose a favourite book but I love the six of crows duo-logy a lot. I spend most of my time reading even when I should probably be doing other things. I want to meet people who love books as much as me.


message 5826: by Aaron (new)

Aaron | 1 comments Hello, I'm Aaron. My favorite books would have to be the Prydain series by Lloyd Alexander. His stories are magical, but not mainstream magic, based on Welsh mythology, which kind of had a connection where I grew up. Although Orson Scott Card's Ender series would be a close second.

I am an author, I wrote a book, recently, but I've lurked on this group for a while.

Happy to be a member of this group: it sounds really interesting.
Have a great day fellas!

Darcy Rhyno (darcyrhyno) | 1 comments Hey there,
New to the group. I'm a lifelong reader of YA. Wrote my Masters on YA pioneer Edith Nesbit of "The Railway Children" and many others. I've written a couple YA novels myself. Hoping to share the joy of reading YA (both fantasy & realism) that's fun while exploring - literally and metaphorically - the nature of young adulthoodDarcy Rhyno.


message 5829: by Bridgett (new)

Bridgett Murphy | 30 comments Just a quick introduction. I'm Bridgett and I like reading across a lot of genres but fantasy is a favourite and I like YA that has more interesting aspects than teenage concerns. Hope to see some great recommendations here.


message 5830: by Red (new)

Red (nosred) Hello! My name is Emily! I am currently a masters student and am trying to reignite my reading hobby. I say hobby lightly because my friends would say its more of an obsession as evident by the collection of books that has slowly taken over the back seat of my car (the rest are taking up every nook and cranny available on my bookshelves). My favorite book currently is Stalking Jack the Ripper. Some of my favorite authors are Marissa Meyer, Kerri Maniscalco, Richelle Mead, and Rick Riordan.

ikram (basingse) | 3 comments Hello, my name's Nico--Neeks, for short!--and I came here to find some new book friends! My favorite genres are young adult, fantasy, and contemporary. I also love historical fiction and Greek mythology!

My favorite books? Tricky question, because I have many. But the best ones are The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, House of Hades by Rick Riordan, The King's Men by Nora Sakavic and Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz!

Oh, hello! Glad you noticed! It's inspired from Nyx, since I've loved Greek Mythology long way before I started reading PJO. Glad you notice it!

Emma Hello, I'm Emma and I LOVE to read. This summer I read 11 495 pages and I don't regret a single one of them. While my friends are watching series I'm obsessing over my current read :) My favourite books of all time are ''The Last Song'' and 'Dear John'' by Nicholas Sparks and Cassandra Clare's series ''The Dark Artifices'' <3. Cassandra Clare is definitely my favourite author! Random facts about me: I love cozy turtlenecks and sourcream & onion chips.

BookishandBliss April Hi everyone! I’m Kymberly and I live in PA outside of Philly! I’m new to participating in groups on here even though I’ve been on Goodreads for awhile. Right now I’m loving books by Sarah J. Maas, always a fan of JK Rowling (including loving her Cormoran Strike series), and my favorite book of all time is Pride and Prejudice!

Feel free to add me if you’d like, I’m setting a high reading goal for 2019 and hope to meet it so I’d love new recommendations!

Ellie (baticeer) Hi everyone, I'm Ellie. I'm 23 and I used to read loads and loads of YA books when I was in high school and actually fit into the target demographic (lol). Lately I've been going back and rereading some old favorites and I wanted to try reading more YA that's been released in recent years, and I thought joining a book club type group would be the best way to find the Good Stuff! My favorite types of books are sci-fi/fantasy and I'm a sucker for unique worldbuilding and complex characters.

(Also - I read a lot more books than my GR shelves say I have - I'm just terrible at remembering to update GR, haha)
