Nancy (nancyynorris) | 5 comments Hey, I'm Nancy. I'm from India but currently studying in the UK. I love YA novels and find it very hard to pick favourites. I've read fantasy, dystopian, however my favourite would definitely be YA romance. Anyone who wants to buddy up on a YA romance novel, count me in!

Lenore Cramer Hi! My name is Kayla.
I’m currently in love with Sarah J Mass as well as Leigh Dardugo

I’m currently reading ... well a lot of books.

I read a lot of YA and New Adult books fiction and fantasy.

Um. Outside of book life I’m a teacher/tutor. I like to inspire kids to read (but it’s not always easy when they Bebe their noses in their phones). But it’s fun seeing the kids who do read, and hearing what kinds of books they enjoy.


message 6009: by Cait (new)

message 6017: by Artemis (new)

Artemis (artemis_x) Hi everyone, I’m Artemis. I’m in love with YA, proven by the fact that I went through my kindle and almost every single book I owned was YA.
My favourite books are fantasy, dystopia, and anything strange and slightly creepy. My favourite authors are Sarah J Maas, Cassandra Clare, Neal Shusterman, Louise O’Neill, and Alice Oseman. I’m open to anything, but have a tendency to put a book down if I don’t like the first 50 pages.
I’m also trying to write my own novel, with the hope that I will finish it by Uni.


message 6018: by Natty❤Malec (new)

Natty❤Malec (nattymalec) Hi guys, I'm Natty - I'm in love with YA fiction! Nothing is as amazing.
My favourite authors are Cassandra Clare, Sarah J. Maas and Robin Stevens but I love lots of others too, and I probably give out five star ratings a little too freely. I'm a hopeless romantic, but the romance has to be just right - I just cringe if the whole book is centred around the love story and there's nothing else to it.
My dream is to be an author one day.

So yeah... that's me!


message 6019: by Kinzie (new)

Kinzie (kinjjii) Hello! My name is Kinzie. I’ve been out of the reading game for quite a while, but have recently started picking books back up again. When I used to always have a book in progress, my favorite genre was fantasy and my favorite author was Cassandra Clare!

I would love for some people to add me and recommend some of the best YA books that have come out over the past few years so I can start to catch up!

message 6022: by Shahrin (new)

Shahrin I’m Shahrin and I love to read. I’ve recently rediscovered my love for reading after being so busy with undergrad. I love mysteries, Crime Fiction, Horror, Greek mythology and paranormal fantasy. Fantasy in general is really great. I also am currently obsessed with historical romance (HR) because they’re so quick and easy to read. My favorite authors include Jennifer L. Armentrout, Victoria Aveyard, and for HR Lisa Kleypas. I cannot pick a favorite book no matter how hard I try. All the books I read are my favorites ;).

message 6024: by reader_for_life (new)

reader_for_life | 7 comments Hey! My name is Khola, I am aware it's a bit unique but I love it. I love reading fantasy books but I will read other genres if recommended to me. My favorite books include Harry Potter (duh!), Throne of Glass, ACOTAR, The Mortal Instruments, The Vampire Academy, The Clockwork series, Falling Kingdoms, Percy Jackson and the list goes on and on. My favorite authors are Cassandra Clare, Sarah J. Maas and Sophie Kinsella (Yes, I know she doesn't write fantasy books.).


message 6025: by Maria✨ (new)

Maria✨ (maria_bell) | 11 comments Hello hello!

My name is Maria and I'm ashamed to say that I didn't even know YA counted as a "genre" so much (well, demographic turned to a loose genre) until around a year or two ago, haha. I was glad to see that many of the things I liked counted as YA, because I found the common link in them, haha.

I'm still in my 20's, though 30's are slooowly creeping up T^T I've been a goodreads member for a few years now, but it's only lately that I'm trying to be making more friends around. My big goal is to get my reviews a bit out there so more people read them (though, I can't promise their good quality, haha), but it's hard to become popular. Especially since I can't read every new book that comes out WHEN it comes out. Maybe one day :D

My top 2 favorite books are Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (despite the problems I have with it) and En Famille by Hector Mallot (nostalgia feeling). My favorite book series is by far Harry Potter, but none of the new books. I'm generally a fan of when something ends, it ends. Adding a bunch of "new" additions and such and usually messing up with the canon is not my style. Other than that, I like mostly Fantasy and Romance (especially combined!), but I enjoy a good mystery (usually the crime ones) and period romances are my guilty pleasures, haha.

I like writing, but I almost always give up before finishing and I'm trying to learn Japanese on my own. That's all!


message 6026: by eve (new)

eve hey everyone! my name’s Eve and my favorites series is ACOTAR... if you’ve finished all of the books or ever wanna fan girl about the series i’m down for that!! Mainly my favorite genres are YA (of course), romance, dystopian, and fantasy. I’m pretty indecisive on who my favorite author is, but I’ll just go with SJM. I hope y’all are having an awesome day!


message 6027: by Natalie (new)

Natalie | 4 comments Hey, y'all! My name is Natalie, and I just joined this group today!! I am so excited to learn about new books and contribute to discussions with all of you!

My favorite book of all time is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I loved the character of Atticus throughout the story, so I feel as though it will always be one of my favorite books! :)
(I also REFUSE to read Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee because I heard it paints Atticus in the complete opposite picture. I just don't think my heart could take it. Hahaha)

Feel free to let me know your thoughts on To Kill a Mockingbird or any of your favorite books. I'm ALWAYS looking for book recommendations. I look forward to talking with you all through the group. Thank you! :)


Maggie the Muskoka Library Mouse (mcurry1990) Hello there, I may have introduced myself here before, but I'm trying to become more active in groups. :) My name is Maggie, I'm a librarian in Muskoka, and I have two little girls who seem to have inherited my love of books. I enjoy all genres, but seek out family drama more often than the others. When I'm not reading, I like to write, hike, bake, or sing.


message 6029: by T.J. (new)

T.J. Vista | 4 comments Hello, my name is TJ, an aspiring writer. I mostly read science fiction, YA, horror/thrillers, realistic fiction, and nonfiction books pertaining to science, but do enjoy other genres whenever I'm interested. My favorite author is Michio Kaku, and Theodore Gray.

message 6031: by rey (new)

rey Hey y’all, my name is Anna Grace and I mostly read (all YA) fantasy, LGBTQ+ contemporary romance, and occasionally dystopian.
