Scottie Pouliot (scottiepouliot) Hello,
My name is Scottie and I am an avid reader. I don't get to read as many books as I would like to due to my busy work and school schedule. Currently my favorite author is Edward W. Robertson, and I don't have a single favorite book.

maya malfoy | 1 comments Hi, my name is Maya and I love reading YA and fantasy books. I read in my free time after swim practice and before I go to bed.

message 6911: by Autumn (new)

Autumn | 1 comments Hi, I'm Autumn! I've had a GoodReads account since 2012 but am just now using it consistently. I love YA but I'm also starting to try out new genres to expand my horizons. I usually like series over standalone but I'm open to both. I have a lot of favorite books but not any authors. Most of the time, I find new books by sitting in a bookstore for hours and reading through the back covers and first few pages until a few jump out at me. I'd love to hear any suggestions and find new people to discuss books with! :)

message 6916: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey everyone! I'm Priscilla and i'm super new to all of this. Ive actually never used goodreads besides keeping up with my reading challenge for the year. I've never done a discussion like this so forgive me for being awkward!

I'm 22 years old! My birthday was in June! I actually hate that my birthday's in summer because I hate the heat so much! I much prefer to have my birthday on a cold winter day.

I've been reading YA since I was in 3rd grade when my mom first introduced me to the Twilight series. Since then, i've never gone back. Because of my love for books, I quickly fell in love with writing. I love creating stories and characters of my own. And now i'm writing my very own book that you can catch on my wattpad and I have a bookstagram that i'll share under the social media tab???? I think that's what it's called.

My all time favorite series is The Mortal Instruments. It inspires me to want to create my own world in such detail.

And i'm currently reading Red, White, & Royal Blue. I'm so pleased by it! So much fun to read and i'm obsessed. I really like reading books that have some kind of royalty in it because it just makes it feel like a fairytale. Reminds me of my childhood.

Some fun facts about me:
I love netflix, but I also feel like i've watched everything good on it
I play Animal Crossing New Horizons all the time. It's seriously a guilty pleasure for me.
My favorite color is pink
I have terrible anxiety so i'm not working at the moment
I have 3 dogs and 2 cats
I still live at home
I'm not a big movie person. I feel like so many have bad endings and at the end I feel like I just wasted my time

Nice to meet you all! Super excited to be here

message 6918: by Tamie-lee (new)

Tamie-lee | 1 comments Hi :D I'm Tamie-Lee, I usually read fantasy and my all-time favourite books are the Deverry series by Katharine Kerr, but I've started getting into YA books more lately - particularly those that are still fantasy-oriented. Always keen for recommendations of what to read next :)


message 6919: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi everyone!! My name is Caitlin, I’m 28 years old, and I have loved reading ever since I could read! The library or bookstores have been my favorite place to be since I was younger and taking out stacks of the Babysitters Club books! ❤️ I haven’t found a genre of books I haven’t liked yet! Some of my favorite authors are Jodi Picoult, Harlan Coben, Sophie Kinsella, and Nicholas Sparks. Right now
I’m reading Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams and My So Called Perfect Life by Sophie Kinsella.

message 6922: by Luca (new)

Luca (lucaluc) Hello! My name is Lu and i'm 16 years old. I have always loved reading, but i started reading more regularly thanks to the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan. My favourite genres are fantasy, historical fiction and i love 19th century literature too. My favourite YA series is The Infernal Devices! :D But i like the Mortal Instruments, too. If you'd like to chat about any of these books, or would recommend me something else, please do!


message 6923: by ☽ starchild (new)

☽ starchild ☾ | 27 comments Hey there, my name is Milena! I'm just a girl who is obsessed with reading in unhealthy amounts. I pretty much like all books. But I've mostly read fantasy (e.g. Sarah J. Maas, Rick Riordan, and all Cassandra Clare books — and I mean ALL). I also like 19th-century literature and classics (but let's not forget mystery as well, so, yes, it's a lot).

I live in Australia, and, no, it is NOT as dangerous as you might think.

At the moment I'm reading the Odyssey. I always have these WAY TOO DEEP THOUGHTS which I can never talk to people about cause they don't really relate or have deep thoughts at all (I mean, I AM still in high school, so…). So they mostly just blank out or nod and go along with it. I'm a dreamer. So, that pretty much explains a lot.

I'm only fifteen years old (so I'm pretty much stuck here). But whilst I SEEM young, I'm probably one of the most mature people surrounded by a bunch of immature people. Or there probably are others, but I haven't really met them yet cause everyone's stuck to the cliché of a high school student.


message 6924: by Lindsay (new)

Lindsay Booklover Hiiiii :) I’m Lindsay! My favorite books would have to be either Divergent or Legend. I love dystopian YA novels but am open to everything. Also, I hope to become a novelist one day!!!


message 6925: by Steve (new)

Steve Altier (stevealtier) | 6 comments Hi, I'm Steve Altier, I love reading YA, and I also write YA. Some of my favorite authors are James Dashner and the Maze Runner series. Victoria Aveyard, and the Red Queen series, Sara Raasch and the Snow like Ashes series, newcomer Rory Power and Wilder Girls, and of course, Suzanne Collins and the Hunger Games. I could go on and on about all the great reads that are out there, but I won't bore you. Thanks for letting me join your group.

message 6930: by Andrei (new)

Andrei Harin | 1 comments Hi, I'm Andrei. I didn't enjoy reading at school and then I realised what was I missing.. At university I started catching up with smart people so at this point in time I feel better and I am able to hold a conversation, i think so :)
If I will have a girl someday, I'll call her Sophie, after the book 'Sophie's World', which I found it as a gift to my soul.

As a side note, not that i've been in a lot of groups, but what I noticed is that a most of the participants from the comments are females and I as a 9gag user find it totally awesome. Goodreads, good people :)


message 6931: by Ande (new)

Ande Davidson | 2 comments Hi all! I'm Ande. I've worked at a bookstore for the last 6 years and love books! Sadly I had to leave my job because Covid is so bad in my area, and I am very high-risk. However, that is leaving me lots of time to read!

I love YA/Middle Grade, but will read a little bit of everything. My favorite book right now is Aristotle and Dante discover the Secrets of the Universe. I'm also a big fan of Tamora Pierce's books!


message 6932: by Lilith... (new)

Lilith... (lilithquestionseverything) Hi My name is Lily. I am a Historical Fiction kinda Girl but i also love alternate future/present books, but only if it is a disaster like THG and Witch and Wizard. My favorite book SERIES is tied between, The Remnant Chronicles and His Fair Assassin. my FAVORITE author is a hard question but i can say from what i am reading right now is that i don't like Jennifer A. Neilsen's writing style in A Night Divided(that must be why this is my 4th time starting it, hahaha...) I like the idea of it and it is a good book but personally i think another author could write it better for my taste. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE Harry Potter and HATE HATE HATE those who don't. Finally a good book i read once years ago was(darn they don't have it on goodreads) The Girl With Silver Eyes!!!:):):):):):):):)

Haha, A Night Divided was not much my taste either. I'm sorry your library is closed! That sucks. I don't know if they are in your area, but I've been going to the little free libraries around my neighborhood for new reads since this began. It is a nice way to keep away from folks and still get and give books!


message 6935: by Luna (new)

Luna (lunakamell) Hey, I'm Luna. My favorite book series is The Infernal Devices (obviously I loooove Will). Percy Jackson and the Olympians was the first book series I ever read and I still reread it soooo much because it's amazing. I started off only reading fantasy books but now I basically read everything.

message 6938: by Penny (last edited Sep 08, 2020 02:32PM) (new)

Penny  B. | 1 comments Hello! My name is Penny :)
I am a passionate reader and a firm HEA believer. Especially in the rough times we all are having, I have found solace in the company of YA novels and feel-good reads which have proven a successful antidote to the feeling of despair I am sometimes tending to be susceptible to. One of my favorite books is "Infinity + One" by Amy Harmon, who happens to be one of my go-to authors when it comes to happy endings and touching themes.
I am very happy to join this group and this reading community in general as it has proven to connect us all via our love for books.
My greetings fellow readers!

I love reading ((obviously, why else would I be on here lol)). My fav genres are......... LGBTQ+ fiction ((literally THE BEST)), I love Mysteries/Thrillers, Fantasy, Dystopian fiction is like my favorite-favorite, and I also love realistic fiction. I really love the Renegades Trilogy by Marissa Meyer, and her other book Heartless.
I am currently in the middle of a VERY intense battle against: Ashi The Avid Reader in The Last Person To Post Wins discussion in this group. It would be great if you joined a side ((specifically my side)) I AM THE LIGHT!

I love all genres, but some of my favorite books are Annihilation, They Both Die at the End, the Grisha trilogy, and admittedly, the Hunger Games series will always have a soft spot in my heart.

message 6943: by Blooregard (new)

Blooregard Q. (blooregardq) Noobie here!

Hey everyone, I’m new to this group (and to the whole group-thing on Goodreads for that matter).

I love reading Young Adult books (among other genre’s), because they feel like a light and enjoyable read for me. I’m actually not a young adult any more, but In my opinion any good story can be entertaining , no matter the target audience.

I enjoy reading and writing and I always try to keep my book reviews short and to the point. Something that, (quite honestly), you don’t see so often here on Goodreads (unfortunately?).

I would love to get to know some new books and to make some like-minded friends here. :)


message 6944: by Tylar (new)

Tylar (tylarw99) | 1 comments Hello everyone! I'm Tylar!

I've been on Goodreads since my teen years, per my mom's suggestion to keep track of all my reading, but being away at college during covid I want to start branching out to connect with more like-minded people about books!

I'm a huge YA fan, usually anything with even just a hint of romance in it. Paranormal Romance is one of my favorite niches, but I'm starting to grow more into true-crime inspired/thriller as well. Probably the best series I've read that captures all of that would be The Body Finder, by Kimberly Derting.

I look forward to seeing other's book suggestions and participating in the BOTM! Feel free to friend me and reach out and a message!


message 6945: by Hanna (new)

Hanna Hello, my name is Hanna! I’m new on Goodreads and are desperately searching for people to discuss books with. Absolute favorite trope is Enemies to lovers and I will read anything with fantasy, magic and romance! Currently catching up on the Mortal Instruments. Favorite Author is Sarah J Maas, I cried my eyes out during Crescent City ( I know it’s not YA ;) but it was so beautiful. My parents think I read too much, my TBR says I don’t read enough.

message 6949: by Alison (last edited Sep 12, 2020 09:56AM) (new)

Alison (alituck99) | 1 comments Hi Everyone, I am Alison:)

Reading has been a huge passion of mine ever since I was little. Harry Potter got me involved in the YA fantasy genre, and I have been reading it ever since.

Some of my recent favorite series are throne of glass, ACOTAR (basically anything Sarah J. Maas), an Ember in the Ashes, A kingdom of Blood and Ash, and Harry Potter.

I love the enemies to lovers trope and am always looking for new recommendations! I will usually read anything with romance but it needs to have that high pace setting you get in fantasy or paranormal books.

Although I have loved books since I was little, I want to get more involved in reviewing and discussing books with people that love them as much as I do. So feel free to add me as a friend:)


message 6950: by Jin (new)

Jin Ryoo | 97 comments Hello! I'm Jin!

I love to read, and have read as long since I can remember. Book are a constant part of my life, and I usually have this one genre that I am crazy for are a while. I love all kinds of book genres except non-fiction and history and textbooks (don't know if this counts as a genre).

Some of my favorite books include anything Marie Lu, anything Rick Riordan, Renegades, The Selection, and any book I have rated over 3 stars on my profile.

You might have noticed my favorite authors, and they are Marie Lu, Rick Riordan, and Stuart Gibbs.

These days I like books with abilities, action, and adventure. I will always take book recommendations about those books, but I take any types of recommendations, so feel free to do so!

I would love friend recommendations, but please only add me as a friend if we have some books in common!

That is it, and I am happy to be in this group!
