danica (danicarameeel) | 11 comments Hey, my name is Danica, I'm 19. I just joined this site yesterday so I'm pretty new at this. I love YA, especially romance (lol) and I also really like fantasy and adventure ones. I don't think I have a favourite author...yet, I just read whatever catches my interest.

This is the first community I've joined so I'm a bit nervous and excited. Nice to meet you all! :)


message 6804: by Christine (last edited Jul 24, 2020 07:00AM) (new)

Christine Schulz Hi everyone! My name is Christine Schulz, and I'm a first time author of a young adult fantasy, How to Hunt a Menacing Magical Shadow. It's set in a fictional city on Earth where magic is like a new and emerging technology, and the main character can't seem to use it. There's also a talking magical pug for your enjoyment. :) I see many of you are interested in YA fantasy, so please check it out.

I'm looking to connect with other authors and like minded readers who also enjoy reading fantasy. Feel free to reach out and connect. If you'd like to give it a read, it's on Kindle Unlimited. I'm also currently running a Kindle ebook giveaway on Goodreads, so you can enter that as well. Being an self published author is tough! I appreciate everyone's support!

Caitlin (caitlinwright01) | 0 comments Hi everyone, I'm Caitlin and I pretty much only read YA :) some of my favourites seem to be ones with a mix of death, romance and also fantasy related. Hush, Hush was my first favourite series and still is one of my top ones. I also love All the bright places, I'll give you the sun and the Law of Moses books. Many more that I absolutely love those are just a few. Also I like to go back through my bookshelf and re-read either every book or just ones I really enjoyed. This is the first group on here I have joined and I'm looking forward to being a part of it!

message 6818: by Christiananeeltje (new)

Christiananeeltje Hey, my name is Chayen! I’m 17 years old and I mostly read YA books. My favourite book at this moment is heartless from Marissa Meyer, it is a book that I bought for my sisters 18th birthday (yup, I really gave a book named Heartless on her birthday) she liked the book as well, so it was not a problem. I am from the Netherlands and I also read my books in Dutch, I hope that in not a problem.

I really like books with a romantic drama, enemies to lovers and love triangles are my absolute favourite so please share your book recommendations!

Lia-Sophie | 0 comments hi there!

i’m lia :) when i was younger i used to be the biggest bookworm, but over the years i stopped reading altogether. after quarantine & accidentally joining booktok, my old self is back.

since i’m german i have quite a bit of difficulty expressing myself in english, but i hope that is not going to come in the way of talking about books and maybe meeting some new people here.

my favourite books are from blood & ash by jl armentrout and alias grace by m atwood, but i am excited about every single ya fantasy romance novel i ever came across. i also like sj maas and john green.

bye!

Some of my favorite books are Sadie, Damsel, The Raven Cycle, An Enchantment of Ravens, and We Are Okay. I’m also currently reading Shiver and really enjoying it.

I was surprised by how much I liked Serpent and Dove! I too like SJM, I still need to read Crescent City though.


Thalassophile_takemetotheocean (thalassophile-takemetotheocean) | 96 comments Hey all. My name is Rose. I really enjoy reading. I like all types of books, especially romantic comedies, as long as they keep me interested for the first couple chapters. Some books I just have to stop and read them later. My favorite books are 'Love and Ohana Drama' by Melissa Baldwin and 'The Unhoneymooners' by Christina Lauren. They were so funny with a bit of romance. I also loved Harry Potter and was a huge Twilight fan back in the day....Yes, I'm a bit older than a young adult. After watching the Twilight movies, it kind of ruined my love of Twilight....The main characters twitching and blinking annoyed me a bit.

I just got finished reading The Hawaiian Heroes series (4 books) that were Brilliant....They are about Hawaiian natives who were gifted with powers from Pele, the goddess of fire and volcanoes, to protect the Hawaiian islands. Cathryn Cade wrote them so well, I could picture myself on the islands. Just to be warned if you read them...there are some love scenes that are not suitable for younger children.

Anyway, I love to laugh....if you want to be friends with me, tell me your best joke or funny story! :)

Here's mine: Why don't scientist trust atoms? A: Because they make up everything :)

message 6830: by Bethany's Books (new)

Bethany's Books | 2 comments Hi I'm Bethany and my favourite genre is fantasy. My all time favourite series has got to be Percy Jackson as it restarted my reading obsession. I'm currently reading Queen of Shadows by Sarah J Maas and Carry on by Rainbow Rowell. I've never really used goodreads before so I'm still learning how to use it. xx


message 6831: by Jonathon (new)

Jonathon Nazario Hi, I am Jonathon a soon to be sixteen-year-old author. I personally do not like reading that much but I get through it, it might have been a bad choice to read a book. I plan to release it on my birthday August 29th but that appears to be a little close, so I have decided to use this time to see if I can create interest in my book before it goes live because I just realized I do not know anyone who is important so that's rough. But more importantly, my book is a weird hybrid of self-help, advice, and philosophy and my goal is to have it finish with 200 pages. I anyone is still reading this I would like some feedback for my book trailer or any method of generating any form of hype. Trailer: https://youtu.be/F4WScjMQ_cU


message 6832: by Em (new)

Em Hi everyone I’m Em! I’ve been a die hard YA fan since the beginning when Percy Jackson opened the doors for me. Currently I’m reading Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas and The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater. I’m always looking for a reading buddy for a new book and someone to discuss it with!

I love Clockwork Princess, the selection series, shatter me series, the siren, the legend series and well this list will never end. I'll be starting the book 'City of fallen angels' in a few days.

message 6835: by Adriana (new)

Adriana | 1 comments Hey I’m Adriana, I’m 19 years (turning 20 this year ö) and life in The Netherlands. My favourite book series (till now) are Touching Juliette and A Caraval Novel.
I’m writing my reviews on my bookstagram @read_with_adri and decided I wanted to join Goodreads to keep track of my fast growing book collection and reading goals!
I’m still learning how to use this platform so that’s the reason I wasn’t very active in this group, but everything at it’s time!
Currently I’m reading The Grisha trilogy with an augustus read along where we will read The Grisha, Six of Crows and the King of Scars!

It makes me super happy to be a part of this group and I’m excited to keep up with you all!

Love Adri❤️

My favorite genres include YA, Action and Adventure, Crime, Drama, Fantasy, Paranormal, and Sci-Fi My favorite authors are Adam Silvera, Kami Garcia, Marie Lu, and Pittacus Lore. My favorite books are Adam Silvera's More Happy Than Not and Andre Aciman's Call Me By Your Name

If you feel like we share the same preferences, add me as a friend and we can exchange recommendations. How's that sound?


message 6843: by Agnes (new)

Agnes Hi! My name is Agnes and I adore fantasy books! Cassandra Clare’s books (especially the infernal devices) are books I can read over and over. Same thing with Sarah J Maas’s. Throne of glass and A Court of Thorns and Roses are (in my opinion) masterpieces. I’m also a bit of a Potterhead. I’ve read and listened to the books way too many times! Percy Jackson is also a favorite series along with lord of the rings. Okay, I can write about the books I like all day, so I’d better stop now. I just created a goodreads account and I’ve never been in a book club so I’m excited to be here!

message 6845: by Courtney (last edited Aug 07, 2020 01:54PM) (new)

Courtney (ladyrose_wolf) | 40 comments Hi, my name is Courtney, I prefer to read Young Adult books. It's hard to pick a favourite book but I prefer series and I think I lean more to the fantasy side, like....dead beautiful or matched or clockwork princess, them type of series. Mystery ones are great as well especially were you're trying to figure out the culprit. But I love to read anything really. I've been told I have an addiction but I see it as more of a hobby. This is my first ever book club and I've been eager to join one!
