[Kody]

Hi everyone! I'm Kody. I'm a writer (among other things,) but am also a huge young-adult spec-fic fan. I'm currently a full-time college student studying to get my bachelor's in creative writing and English so I can eventually move on to teach creative writing. :)

I'm currently reading a book called The Institute by Kayla Howarth (which I'm really enjoying.)

Hope y'all are well when you read this!

[Elle]

Hello! I've been a bookworm ever since I started reading at a very young age. I really love books and I'm hoping to have my own home library someday. I also like to write, though I've been struggling with it for years, even with a degree in Communication.

Nice to meet you! Thank you for revealing yourself to us mortals haha! 😁

[Olivia]

Hi, I'm a total bookwork, enjoying challenges to read even more or sometimes to actually pick a book to read. I don't know if that means I don't have enough or I have too many. :D
I live in England and work in a school.

Hi Olivia 😊 Welcome! Im from the UK too!

[R.R.]

Hi, my name is Rachael! I'm 26 and I read too much! Yes, that's possible. I was reading 300 books a year some years. My favorite series is the Wheel of Time. I started to read it at 12 years old and then fell into reading a lot of Y.A. books. The book that really helped me love Y.A. was "Lirael" by Garth Nix. I picked it up because her name ended in ael like mine. (I was about 11).

[Jessica]

Hello, I'm Jessica.

I've not always loved to read like I do now. I used to hate it for I didn't understand and had a very hard time reading when I was in school. I had such trouble reading that I never got the story for I was struggling so to just read the words on the page. As I entered high school I tried reading something of my choice and found that I understood it and loved the book so much that I wanted to try and read another book to see if I liked it. soon I had read everything in the house and had to start buying books to read and keep me entertained. it had become something I love to do and it helps me get away from the world.

[Syreeta]

Hey, I'm Syreeta. I'm a self published author and librarian. I went through a huge reading slump while I was in school, but now that my workload is more manageable, my passion for books is back again. I read a lot of YA (obviously), fantasy, and even Middle grade stuff. I venture into romance and sci-fi. I've been reading since I was able to, but really started picking up books by the dozen when I was about 9.

[Lieke]

Hey, my name is Lieke and I love to read. My favourite book at the moment is ready player one by Ernest Cline (the movie is horrible). My favourite book can change all the time though. And I think my favourite author would be J.K Rowling or Suzanne Collins.

[[deleted user]]

Hi I’m Breanna. There are to manygood books for me to have a favorite. My favorite authors are Cassandra Clair and Sara J Maas.

[Maggie]

Hi I'm Maggie! I'm still pretty new to this whole Addicted to YA group. My favorite types of books are cheesy romances and thrillers. Some of my favorite authors are angie thomas, ally carter, john green, rick riordan, etc.

[[deleted user]]

I love Ally Carter!

[Pètra]

Hi, I'm Pètra! I'm from South Africa and cannot choose a favourite book! My favourite books are those that fit in the Science Fiction, Historical Fiction and Fantasy genres. (And of course, anything YA). If I were to list all of my favourite authors, we would be here for a long time. I have way too many favourite authors and books. I'm generally known as my grade's walking, talking library. Because if you are looking for a book, you could just tell me what you're interested in and I'll find something for you to read.

I genuinely read in all genres, but have already listed my favourite :)

Hi Petra! I'm also from South Africa! :) It is hardly ever that I find another South African on GR. Since you seem to be quite the reader would you be willing to read my first self-published novel and do a review on it? It is called The Transfer and is ya romance mainly.

[Colleen]

Hi everyone! My name is Colleen and my favorite book is Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. I also love The Song of Achilles and Darius the Great Is Not Okay. I'm new to Good Reads and am really excited to see what it's all about!

This is the same as my story! Fell out of reading for awhile and Throne of Glass was my first read in years (LOVED it). Then went straight to Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows and she's now my favorite author!

[Ella]

Hi everyone! This is my first time on here. My name is Ella and I'm a senior in high school. I LOVE young adult fiction but I have to be honest - I am quite picky when it comes to what a good series is. I often find myself growing bored in the sequel or a little later on in the series. Does anyone else feel like that? I just wanted to share with you a series that I have just finished. and OH. MY. GOD. I have never read something so good.
I just finished The remnant chronicles.
The kiss of deception, The heart of betrayel, and the beauty of darkness by mary e pearson. YOU MUST READ THIS SERIES!! I couldnt put it down! I just needed to share that with this young adult book loving community!
Mary E. Pearson

[Regina]

Hello! :) My name is Regina and I always loved reading. I had stopped in my high school days because I was bullied for it in middle school. I got out of the habit, and cared what other people thought. Now that I'm an adult, I have picked it back up and could not be happier. I love love LOVE YA, and thrillers and fiction. YA is my favorite. I love discovering new books and authors, it gives me such a great feeling. This is pretty limiting, but I'd have to say my favorite authors are Natasha Preston and Paula Brackston right now.

[Jeanna]

Hello :) I'm Jeanna and I love reading. I'm from London Ontario. The first books I started with were R.L Stein's Fear Street. And although through high school and university I didn't read as much beside some trash magazines, lol. Around then I read a lot of James Patterson and Sandra Brown. A lot of Sandra Brown. Once I was out of school I started reading more, a lot more. And with my Kobo now I read everywhere and anywhere. I've recently gotten back into YA and love it. But I have read a variety of others. Thrillers, crime, Historical Romance, Romance of any kind really, NA, erotica ;) If someone tells me it's worth a read I'll add it to my ever growing list of TBR. I love series but hate when they get too long or too mushy in the romance department. Expample I loved ACOTAR but by the 3rd book and I'm sure this is not popular opinion but it just didn't do it for me like the first 2. I love Holly Black. The Folk of the Air is amazing and I got to meet her at a signing in Toronto this past year. I also love Leigh Bardugo (Six of Crows is great), Susanna Kearsley, Colleen Hoover and Chanda Hahn are a few authors I love.

Hi Ella, thanks for the recommendation. That series is on my TBR, I'm waiting to get it from my library. Glad to hear it has a good review.

[Angelina]

Hi, I'm Angelina! I've just joined Goodreads and I love YA novels (why I'm here lol) just SO much, you know? My favourites are anything to do with Shadowhunters (Malec is OTP goals, like literally) and also Sarah J Maas' books are also amazing. I love any YA that's inspired by mythology or like just ancient Rome/Greece so any recommendations would be great! :)

[Tatum]

Hi! Im Tatum and I really like YA. Two of my favorite authors are Sarah J Maas and Marie Lu. Some personal favorite books include The Selection by Kiera Cass, The Rose Society by Marie Lu, and Empire of Storms by Sarah J Maas.

[Maggie]

I'm 13 too! It's nice to see younger people here since most people I go to school with hate reading.

[J.C.]

Hello! I'm Goodreads author "JC Bratton." My real name is Jenny, and I'm a huge fan of thriller/mystery novels. I absolutely loved "The Woman in Cabin 10" & "In a Dark, Dark Wood" from Ruth Ware. On the young adult side, I grew up reading Point Horror novels, such as "Slumber Party" by Christopher Pike and "Twisted" by RL Stine. I recently read the "updated" version of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" by Lois Duncan. Interesting how they "modernized" the classic book. :) Looking forward to reading / interacting here!

[coffee]

Hi, I'm Roman! I'm obviously a book fanatic. My favorite book changes a lot, right now it's Every Moment After by Joseph Moldover. My favorite authors are Cassandra Clare and Adam Silvera!

[Georgie]

Hi, I'm Georgie! I've been on Goodreads for a little over two years and have never joined a group but it's a new year so I decided to try something different. My favorite book series are the Shadow Me series by Tahereh Mafi, All Souls by Deborah Harkness, and the Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan. I'm looking forward to seeing the suggestions this group has for new books as I'm always on the hunt for something new and different!

[[deleted user]]

Hi new people! I love new people! I role play in case any one wants too.

[Monica]

Hello!
I am Monica, and I have been a YA reader before that was even a term I heard used anywhere.

I love anything that has to do with Vampires and Witchcraft.
Cinder was the first book that made me realize that I was an active YA reader, even though I had been picking up the books at random for years.

That being said, I am glad I joined this group.

[Robin]

Hi, I’m excited to participate in reading new books and the discussions about them. I am a huge fan of the romance genre, but I am open to trying different genres!

[Kyle]

Howdy! My name is Kyle. I'm a YA author and I've always been really into the genre so I figured I'd find some people with a mutual interest! My favorite book is Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo and my favorite author is Rick Riordan. BIG fan of poetry too! Leonard Cohen specifically.

[Niki]

Hi! I’m Niki! I found my way to goodreads and bookstagram last spring and am still finding my way around! Reading is pretty much how I spend all of my free time! My favourite author of all time is Jodi Picoult but I just finished Nicola Yoon’s The Sun is also a Star and it may be a new favourite!

[Shay]

Hello everyone. I'm Shay. I recently just graduated undergrad (and desperately trying to get out of my retail job) and fell back into the love of reading for pleasure and not just for school so it's been a few years. When I was younger the YA genre wasn't really poppin so I grew up reading adult fiction (ie: anything Elizabeth Peters put out). So I feel like now that I'm an "adult" I'm catching up on all the good reads that I didn't get as a teen. I'm currently catching up on the Raven Cycle books by Maggie Stiefvater.

[Grace]

I my name is grace. I have joined goodreads for a few years now but this is the first time i am joining a group. I love talking about books and hope to have fun.

[Grace]

I have to many authors i love to pick just one as my fav. Some of them are karen lynch ednah walters may sage just to name a few

[Carrie]

I’m Carrie Weston author of YA crime fiction/ fantasy novel- Xander Chase and the Unicorn Code.

Patrica Briggs
P.C Cast
Gena Showalter
Maria V.Snyder
And many more 😁

It’s nice to meet you all 💖

[Krystal]

Hello, I'm Krystal :) Fave book of all time is The Three Musketeers but when it comes to YA I'm a big fan of The Medoran Chronicles, Throne of Glass, and most YA fantasy.

Looking forward to chatting to some fellow YA lovers and getting some great new recommendations! :)

[Danny]

Hey there, I'm Danny

I'm a father of three boys from the Netherlands who just happens to love YA books. Don't judge :P

I don't really have a favorite author as I enjoy quite a diverse array of books, but one that would come to the top of my head would be Brandon Sanderson.

I found this group in my suggestions and I see that you are currently reading or are going to read a lot of books that are on my personal TBR as well. Locally, I don't have a lot of people that share a love for the YA genre, so I figured I'd try and find some likeminded people on here.

I'll end things off with a top 3 of books I've read in 2019:
1: Sadie (Amazing!)
2: The priory of the orange tree
3: Small great things (no YA, but absolutely lovely nonetheless)

see you around,

Danny

[alex]

Hey, I’m Alex! I love YA books, but quite honestly I’ll read anything I can get my hands on. As far as favorites go, I could sit here for hours contemplating what to put as favorite book. Therefore, I’ve decided to just put some of my favorite series from the last few years. Hunger Games, Divergent, Ranger’s Apprentice, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson (and all the spin offs, as well as the Kane Chronicles). I recently read ACOTAR and TOG, but I haven’t decided if they can go in my list of all time favorites. My favorite authors are Tamora Pierce, John Green, Cassandra Clare, Suzanne Collins, Rick Riorden, J.K. Rowling, and Veronica Roth. (I guess I should mention that I can’t spell names, if you haven’t already guessed that)

[Kristel]

Hi!

I have just joined this group because I love reading, mainly YA books. I'll see if I can join any BOTM discussions, but me joining is also mainly to be motivated to read a lot again this year and see if I can find any good books to add to my ever-growing TBR pile. I however am in university, so I can't always read a lot, and some booiks just really don't speak to me, so we'll see what I can do.

[Charlotte]

Hello everyone! I am Charlotte,

First of all, I was super excited when I discovered this website and then I found this page and Hellooo, let's just say, I'm having to contain myself. Finally, I have found people as book mad as me.

It actually took me a while to get into reading, as I struggle with dyslexia, so, I take my time to read and write. However, once I found Jacqueline Wilson in my young teens, I absolutely adored her books. I read every book she wrote and when there were no more, I was like a lost puppy. I then struggled for a while, to find a book I wanted to read, so I’m hoping this group will be a god send.

A few more books that I have loved:

Holly Bourne’s the spinner club sequel, first things first with this one, feminists get right under my skin, they drive me nuts! However, this is due to my naive preconception that all feminists are in fact nuts. Which I am totally wrong about, sure, there are a fair few, but the majority of feminists don’t hate men they hate sexism, they fight for what we no longer think we need to fight for.

Jenny Han, ‘To all the boys I’ve loved before’ sequel, simply because I am a sucker for romance, for the romance that in real life, I would think is far too dramatic, give it to me in a book and I’ll turn to mush.


My all-time favourite book is ‘The way I use to be’ by Amber Smith. I was lost for words; this book is one of the most powerful books I have ever read. This story is so delicate and raw with deep emotional. I don't cry at books, but I cried at this, I got angry, I got sad I felt every emotion my body was capable to feel. I don't even know if I would call it a book, it's as if I was holding a heart or a broken soul, I cradled this book and when I was finished, I didn't want to put it down.

Anyway, I have just wrote you an essay introducing myself and I do apologise for that, but it’s great to meet you all!

[Ara]

Hi, my name is Ara. I have too many favorite books to list so I’m going to keep it simple: my newest favorite is Rebel by Marie Lu, my all time favorite (hands down) The Poppy War by R.F Kuang. As for my favorite author, currently it’s a tie between Sabaa Tahir, Roshani Chokshi, and Renee Ahdieh.

https://open.spotify.com/user/1212434...

The way I name my playlists is loosely based off of Every Last Word, I pick a lyric that sums the playlist up perfectly and make it the name.

All Friend Requests welcomed!!!

LOVE your enthusiasm for Every Last Word.

[Erica]

Hi all. I'm Erica. I'm seem to be able to read more and more YA so this group should be a good fit. My favourite book would have to be Sabriel by Garth Nix. However my favourite author is probably Kelley Armstrong for her ability to create different characters. That being said Holly Black has been giving her a run for her money since I read the The Cruel Prince.

[Mia]

I'm Mia! I love many books, but I have a soft spot for clean romances with a gripping or dystopian plot, (Hunger Games, Lunar Chronicles series, The Selection,) and Fairytale or magical books, (Land of Stories, Fablehaven, Harry Potter, Goose Girl, Percy Jackson.)

I have many others that I love and I'm open to new recommendations! I'm new to groups and still getting accustomed to Goodreads features, so some pointers would be appreciated!
