Elsa (ej333) My name is Elsa, and at the moment my favourite book is The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. Another close favourite is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen! Personally I have too many favourite authors to list, but John Green, JK Rowling, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, and my childhood favourite Roald Dahl! :D

saraC todd (saractodd) My name is Sara and I absolutely love YA lit. It has taken over my bookshelf! My favorite book of all time is Fahrenheit 451 and am a sucker for any dystopian read. Some of my favorite YA authors are John Green (Looking for Alaska is another one of my favs!), Maureen Johnson, M. T. Anderson, And Marcus Zusak. I am looking forward to seeing what everyone is reading!

Jhoanna (Karafex) | 7 comments Hi everyone, my name is Jhoanna. My favorite book and author so far has been 'City of Bones' by Cassandra Clare. I was so excited to hear that there would be a movie coming out! I've been into dystopian books lately, and have been enjoying books like 'Divergent', 'The Maze Runner', and 'The Hunger Games'.

message 667: by Carolina (last edited Jun 11, 2012 09:13PM) (new)

Carolina (lemonadecarl) Hello, my name is Carolina, I'm really behind all of the good books that are coming out, i keep reading books that came out on 2009, its depressing really, so if you have any suggestions go ahead and give me some. My favourite author of all time has to be J.K.Rowling, and even though (as you probably know) she only has 1 book series out (there new stuff coming out!!) i think i can say she is it, because she did a marvellous job with it. my favourite books are Harry Potter (1,5 and 7), The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Little Prince and Thirteen Reasons Why.

Carolina (lemonadecarl) Hey, Erika! I'm loving it so far.


message 671: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey, I'm Dana. There's no way I could pick a favorite book. It changes constantly, depending on which one's in my head at the moment. The last book I read was Clockwork Angel and it was really good. My favorite author has to be Lois Duncan, she's not the most famous, but I like any of her books.


message 672: by Christy (new)

Christy (readingmommy83) | 7 comments Hello, my name is Christina. I dont really have a favorite book. I am loving pretty much every Rick Riordan book i read right now. Not sure what author i will move onto next when i finish all his novels, hopefully i'll find some good ones through this group of fellow Ya readers. :)

Right now I have about 25 more pages to write for my WIP. However, being on GRAND JURY [4 days/wk for 4 weeks - got two more weeks to go] has greatly slowed down my ability to write. If anyone is interested about me and/or what my book is about you can visit me on my website/blog http://www.mypennameonly.webs.com

If you don't like using the above website, I've duplicated the blog portion on

message 695: by Shealea (last edited Jun 23, 2012 06:51AM) (new)

Shealea (shutupshealea) My name is Shealea Iral. Why am I not dead? I should be dead.

That said, I think it's pretty obvious who my favorite author is: Suzanne Collins. I've been a solid fan of The Hunger Games trilogy for almost two years. Moreover, I enjoy reading the Mortal Instruments series as well.

I don't know what else to say because I'm just terrible at introductions but I guess I'll share a few things about my self - doesn't that make me appear conceited?

I'm a perfectionist. My insecurities are through the roof. I'm a self-proclaimed nerd. I nitpick other people's grammar - just a warning, yeah? I have a habit of singing in the shower. I can not imagine an existence without bacon. I'm the kind of girl who eats too much, but never gains although I terribly want to put on some weight. My tongue is 50% sarcasm. I'm far from a Twilight fan. Finally, I adore making new friends. :)

Hi Shealea! Before I read the rest of what you said I thought you were serious in the beginning and then I was like why does that sound so familiar


message 697: by Kiana (new)

Kiana (kianalemay) | 1 comments Hey I'm Kiana!

message 700: by Mary (new)

Mary Holm (worddance) | 8 comments Hi! My name's Mary and I think Goodreads, a place where people gather just to talk about books, is about the coolest place on the planet. I love to read fantasy, but I'll read almost anything if it's a good story. My favorites are: Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Percy Jackson, Graceling, Matched, Ender's Game. I also write YA Fantasy. I have a big stack of YA novels waiting for me to read and I can't wait.
