[Niranjana]

Hello, everyone! I am Niranjana Selvakumar. I am very excited to join this group as I live reading Young adult fantasy stories. And I don't think I can post all of my favorite books as the list will keep dragging on. But to name a few, I should probably start with The Avalonia chronicles, the one that I recently read, Rick Riordan books, The Lunar Chronicles, The Geisha Trilogy and so on. And I am not being subjective to the list of favorite authors. Any book I read, if I love the story, the author definitely becomes my favorite. Cheers to this wonderful group and I am glad I found it sooner than later!

[Tria]

Hello all, I’m Tria and I love reading especially epic fantasy, mystery and a little romance.
I’ll be honest, I definitely don’t fit into the young adult category, but I love the way novels are written for younger people, and I’m a teacher so I use that as my “excuse”, mostly to my husband, for why I read young adult so much! I’m a huge fan of the Ember in the Ashes series, anything Marie Lu writes, and of course, pretty much anything with magic in it!

[Nicole Yatsushiro]

I especially love YA Fantasy and am very much looking for recommendations, especially any books available on Kindle Unlimited!

[Lynds]

Hey, I'm Lynds. I like books narrated with sarcasm and witty comments, usually can't read a book unless it's YA.

[Duncan]

Hi, My name is Duncan MacLeod. I'm a New Adult author who recently cleaned up his act and wrote a Young Adult novel. I already talked about it in the author section, so in accordance with the forum rules, I will refrain from mentioning my books by name.

I love to read YA Fiction. It was a huge leap of faith for me to write a book that would appeal to all ages but was still edgy enough for my tastes. If I had to pick my very favorite YA book, it would be "James and the Giant Peach". As a child, I read it at least 30 times. I know this because Dolores, the librarian at my tiny public library, had to replace the checkout card twice.

As an adult I haven't really read anything more than once. I think that must just be a kid thing.

My advice to aspiring writers? Get your grammar in shape. I was forced to diagram sentences in my youth, and I found it incredibly tedious at the time. Now it's the one thing that lets me know when a semicolon should replace a comma, or when a prepositional phrase has mixed modifiers. The dreaded/beloved book: Warriner's English Grammar and Composition.

[Nishi]

Hi, my name is Nishi, and I love reading YA books. I like realistic fiction the best, but I also like fantasy a lot too, and lately, I've been trying to read mystery YA books too. Among my favorite YA books are Anna K and Felix Ever After.

[Em]

Hi I'm Emma and I'm 22! Obviously I love YA, primarily anything fantasy and historical fiction based. Some of my favorites are Percy Jackson, the Shadowhunter Chronicles, and the Lord of the Rings. I'm Currently, I'm reading Ship of the Dead by Rick Riordan! My other favorite authors include Cinda Williams Chima and Markus Zusak.

[Gabrielle]

Hi I'm Gabby. I am 26 and live in the UK. I am a fashion designer and creative but also work in sales. If I'm not reading I'm creating something fab! My favourite genres are literary fiction and thriller. My favourite book of 2020 is Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. Nice to meet you all! Feel free to add me as a friend!

[Marianne]

Hey there! I'm Marianne. I am 23 and live in California--hoping to relocate to New York City sometime in the near future! The lockdown period has given me so much free time to really get back into my love of reading and I've been catching up on all the popular YA books since the Hunger Games came out. I am a Percy Jackson lover forever and always, but recently I've fallen in love with the Folk of the Air series, the Six of Crows duology, and anything Sarah J. Maas. I mostly prefer YA Fantasy but I am trying to branch out into more YA thriller and contemporary romance! Feel free to add me as a friend--I'm looking forward to having somewhere to talk about books with other people who read the same stuff!

[Sarah]

Hey everyone! I'm Sarah and I live in VA. I'm a teacher so I find young adult books a great way to connect to my students. Recently I've been focusing on books that relate to current events happening right now. I like fantasy/dystopian YA books, but I also like more realistic ones. I want to be in this group so I can keep up with what books my students (or other people their age) are reading so I can keep up with them, and also keep informed of good books for young adults so I can make recommendations.

[Lariann]

Hi everyone! I’m Lariann! I’m 28, living in Southern California! YA is my favorite genre to read but I will read pretty much any genre if I find a book that interests me! My favorite authors include SJM (go figure), Maggie Steifvater, Sarah Dessen, Tamora Pierce, and Leigh Bardugo. But there are so many more amazing authors! I’m always looking for more bookish friends so feel free to add/message me!

[Felix]

As you see, my name Is Tiffany, though I prefer T. Marie. I read YA (mostly LGBTQIA+), fantasy, all kinds of nonfiction, and occasionally other genres of fiction. Technically, my favorite book is The Fifth Season by N.K Jemisin, because it's all but flawless.

[Jessica]

Hi! My name is Jessica and I'm 28, living in A2, Michigan. I teach 8th grade ELA and almost exclusively read YA!! I love taking recommendations from my students and hope to find some here! The most recent book series I've loved is the Renegades series, but I also love reading anything related to social justice. My favorite genres are fantasy, science fiction, and historical fiction, but of course I'll read anything (except romance)! :)

[leo]

Hello, everyone! I'm Leo, 19 years old. I love YA fantasy, LGBTQIA+, mythology, thriller, romance and some more (most of my read books are YA).

I love Sarah J. Maas, Marie Lu, Rick Riordan, Adam Silvera, Maggie Stiefvater, Adam Silvera & a lot more again.

I can't wait to find good reads and good friends here!

[Sarah]

Hi! I'm Evie. :) I'm definitely addicted to YA. If it is fantasy, mythology-based, or a retelling - I am in! Currently reading Blood and Honey :)

It's far too hard to decide on one favorite book and one favorite author. If I was going to classic route, I would pick Vladimir Nabokov. As for more modern, that's a tough one. Hester Fox is up there this year for sure. Anything written by Madeline Miller, Gail Carriger, and Leigh Bardugo are all instant reads for me!

[Felix]

Update: Probably not too many people care about The Fifth Season here, so I'll list my favorite YA books: The Cure for Dreaming by Cat Winters, The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee, and Let's Talk about Love by Claire Kann

[Alyssa]

Hi! I'm Alyssa, 28 and a mum. I just recently getting into romance and YA again. Having zero bookish friends has led me to spend all my free time reading. Yay.
I reread The Mortal Instruments series early last year and discovered a whole new world of YA that I fell in love with.

I am currently obsessing over the ACOTAR series and am looking for more things like it. I've recently been recommended The Fifth Season and I am hooked on that as well.

[Andy☆]

Hi!

[Jiya J]

hi all!

[A.D.]

Hi everyone, hope to meet some new people here!

I'm a new author, who's been writing for a while, but only just now have worked seriously to publish a couple of books. One of which, Between the Veil, which was a pretty big departure from my usual style of writing, seeing as it's in first person. The other, a YA Fantasy novel with multiple character perspectives.

Anyway, enough of that.

I love to write, and talk about favorite books, manga, shows, or whatever else. I'm always looking to try out new genres, and I'm hoping to maybe exchange reviews with fellow new authors, or others seeking to exchange ideas.

Feel free to drop a comment. I'll do my best to try and keep up and connect!

[Annelotte]

Hi everyone! I'm new in this group and I am very exited to meet some new people!
