message 701: by C (new)

C (shawolit) | 2 comments Hi, the name's Jyqa (pronounced Ji-ka, which is weird, but--'kay, I'll stop babbling now). I love YA books (mostly) and some adult books. Also, I write novels and critique them online on Wattpad (therefore, I am a huge nerd). Favorite book? At the moment, it's still "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky, which is amazing. <3 Favorite authors- L.J Smith, James Patterson, Stephen Chbosky, Meg Cabot...the list goes on. xD -peace-


Perfection *Sherlock's Girl* | 174 comments Hi Mary! Love your books list!

And hi Jyqa! Very pretty name. What does it mean?

Jennifer Hey, Mary! I also love your book list. You have my favorites, too!

Hey, Jyqa! Welcome to the group. You'll likely find you're not a huge nerd here! Or maybe they're so many of us, you're not the exception ;)

message 711: by Emma (new)

Emma Theriault (emma-lynn) Hi! My name is Emma. I'm 22 and I love almost all genres. I especially love fantasy, non-fiction (history, popular science) and YA! Some of my favourite YA titles are: Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi, Unraveling by Elizabeth Norris, The Motal Instruments by Cassandra Clare, Graceling by Kristin Cashore, The Maze Runner by James Dashner, and Seraphina by Rachel Hartman. I work at a book store, so I get a lot of ARCs and try to read as much teen as possible. I'm also hoping to someday publish a YA novel that I'm working on! Mostly I just love to read, all the time.

Haha, thank you for the warm welcome and for the compliment! I was named after the flower, azalea. :) It's nice to meet you and I do think being opinionated is a good thing as well. It's better to be hurt by honesty than to be comforted with a lie. :)

Hi Shealea!
I liked Significance! It was cute and a fun, easy read. I started on the second book and lost interest maybe 100 pages in. This happens a lot with me and books, easily later books in a series. :(


message 747: by Calico (new)

Calico (black-calico) | 4 comments Hi, everyone :) I'm Calico. I'm 24 and I love YA. Almost everything I read is Fantasy. My favorite book and author are always changing, but lately I've been enjoying Colleen Houck's Tiger's Curse series and Julie Kagawa's Iron Fey series. Right now I'm reading Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare. I figured that since I've become enthusiastic about reading again (after a random, inexplicable, nearly year-long hiatus) I should try to be a little more active here on Goodreads and get involved in a community :)

Winnie G (thebookassassin) | 12 comments Hey Shealea~
Glad to see someone shares the same tastes as me. I'd love to be friends with you :D
