message 6051: by Abbie-Jane (new)

Abbie-Jane Mercer Hey! I'm Abbie and I have definitely never grown out of YA! Although I do now appreciate a good Dark psychological thriller.
Some of my favourite YA books are;
Guid Hunter series - Nalini Singh
House of Night - P.C.Cast & Kristin Cast
Some of my favourite authors;
Rachel Caine (Weather Warden, Morganville Vampires, etc.)
J.K.Rowling
The rest of my favourites lay deep within the modern classics - D.H. Lawrence, John Steinbeck, Thomas Hardy, etc.


message 6052: by isabelle x (new)

isabelle x Hi I’m Isabelle ! I love reading YA but enjoy reading romance / contemporary because I dislike books that are too heavy and dark if that makes sense ! My favourite book would have to be Shipwrecked by Siobhan Curham which in my opinion is highly underrated ! And I can’t pick a favourite author as there are too many good ones ! :)


message 6053: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi! My name is Danielle. I love reading. I take books with me pretty much everywhere. I like pretty much any kind of book if I can get into it.

I listed my book related social media in my bio; so please go check it out. If anyone wants, you can add me as a friend.


message 6054: by Nadia (new)

Nadia Harlan (nadiaharlanauthor) | 1 comments Hi, I'm Nadia, I have joined this group because of the quote from Tessa - oh jeez that book - the feels - the tears!!

Anyway! I love YA romance, anime/manga and New Adult romance. (all genres paranormal etc but I like a romance element)

I am an author in the YA genre xx


message 6055: by Shari (new)

Shari Cross | 15 comments Hi I'm Shari!
I love YA novels and used to read tons and tons, then I started writing my own novel about 7 years ago and between that and work, my reading fell behind. Then I had a baby and it really fell behind. Anyway, I'm finally jumping back in and am so excited to join discussions and get new recommendations. My favorite book of all time is probably The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, but my current obsession is the Shadow and Bone trilogy, well actually anything Grishaverse.

If you are interested in checking out my book, you can find it on my author page.

What are some of your YA recommendations for me? (mainly best YA that has come out in the last 5 years. I'm planning to read ACOTAR series next so that one's already on my radar.) TIA


message 6056: by Allison (new)

Allison Parker | 1 comments Hello! My name is Allison, and I love to read anything fantasy or fiction related! Though I love too many books to count, I particularly like The infernal devices series, The Caraval trilogy and the A Court of Thorns and Roses series! A couple of my favorite authors include Cassandra Clare and Sarah J. Maas.

Hi Allison, I'm new to this group too. I LOVE Cassandra Clare. I still need to read Caraval and ACOTAR. I'm looking forward to both of those!

message 6063: by Astrid (new)

Astrid (astridetal) | 2 comments Hi, I don’t know whether I’m doing this right, since I don’t know that much about how to do Goodreads. I have been in this group forever but no idea whether I ever introduced myself. I’m Astrid and my favorite book of all time is Unspeakable by Abbie Rushton. So sad that she only published two books. I’m not a teen if that matters, but I do love YA, particularly social issues.


message 6064: by Nicholas (new)

Nicholas (Amphion) | 1 comments Hello everyone, my name Nick. I love reading many different types of YA books. The way different principles work in each series always have fascinated me. It lead me to create a world of my own. My series Memories of Crimson Fire. I just published the first book in the series Sky of Embers. I recently published it on amazon. It tells the story of two friends bound by fate and tragedy as they try to defy the will of the Greek Gods. I would love to what all of you think of it. It great to meet all of you. 😊

message 6067: by Catherine (new)

Catherine (catsbookishcorner) Hi everyone! My name is Catherine, and I found this group through a Google search when I decided to get more involved in GoodReads after starting my new book blog, The Crime Scene Bookworm.

I love books (duh)! There's an excessive amount of romance and YA of all kinds in my library, both physical and digital! I also love fantasy and sci-fi. I'm a huge Harry Potter nerd, I've read and re-read A Court of Thorns and Roses, and I'm currently reading Frostblood by Elly Blake!

Feel free to add me if you want to rant about books with me!

My favorite author is Kathryn Smith( for non-YA). My favorite YA author is yet to be determined because there are a few I've really enjoyed, and some I'm eager to sink my teeth into. But I really like Maggie Stiefvater. Oh, yes-I'm a movie buff too...love anything Godzilla! :) I look forward to sharing new books I've read with everyone, and gaining a greater knowledge of books I haven't read!


message 6077: by Missy (new)

Missy | 8 comments Good evening everyone. My name is Misty I am a single mother of 3 and I love reading whenever I have time. Sometimes even when I don't have time lol. I love reading all sorts of genres but YA is by far my favorite genre. My all time favorite is Harry Potter but I don't feel that should count because I think that should be every bodies favorite lol. My second favorite is house of night by Kristen and P.C Cast. I love P.C. cast as an author I think she is amazing.
I am so excited to be in this group and cannot wait to start reading groups though I think I am going to have to start in October but it isn't that far away so I am so excited.

I just released a YA novel that I like to think of as the Percy Jackson of astrology and virtual reality. Zodiac Supreme Utopia by Terry Wells

message 6094: by [deleted user] (new)

Hello, my name's Tadeja but everyone calls me Tadi. I'm in my 20's and for the past year or so I've been going through a reading dry spell. I've been a member of Goodreads since 2012, but I've now decided to join some groups to help me get back on track with reading. I enjoy mostly YA fantasy, with Angelfall & Obsidian being some of my favourite books. I'd love to make new friends & reading buddies, so add me if you're interested!


message 6095: by Lanie (new)

Lanie I'm Lanie. I live on the East Coast now but I'm originally from the Midwest. My commute to work is about an hour so I spend the time reading. I prefer fiction, some romance, fantasy, sci fi and of course YA. I read 3-4 books a week so if it's not at the library or on kindle unlimited I usually don't read it.
I've been on GR for a few years to track my books but I'm finally trying to utilize it and make friends and maybe find some buddy readers and participate in discussions. Add/follow me if you're interested!


message 6096: by Mimi (new)

Mimi (didsomeonesayviolin) Hey,
my name is Miriam :)
I love and read all kinds of books, a little bit of everything, but YA has just grown into me and is a huge part of my life so...
I do not have a favourite book, however, if I were to pick only one, it'd be Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz. My favourite authors would be John Green, Cassandra Clare, Patrick Ness, Markus Zusak and at last JRR Tolkien - I'm totally obsessed with Middle-Earth. But most of my favourites are listed on my shelf, so you can just check that out if you're interested! Also, I suppose, I ought to say that English isn't my mothertongue and I've only been learning for like - 5 or 6 years, so I sometimes still do't understand everything.

Well, anyways, thank you and have a nice day!
