Kelly | 3 comments Hey everyone, I’m Jasmine and I am a serious book worm. I love to read all kinds of books, as long as it has a good plot, character development, etc. Lately, I have been hooked on a few series including Harry Potter (by J.K. Rowling), Maximum Ride (by James Patterson), Vampirates (by Justin Somper), and Firelight (by Sophie Jordan). Other authors that I like are Alex Flinn, Melissa Kantor, Rachel Hawthorne, Lori Foster, and Kate Brian, to name a few. But if anyone has any suggestions, I am almost always looking for a new book to read!

Hi Jasmine! Have fun with the group!


message 754: by Janet (new)

Janet Hi everyone, I'm Janet and I really love to read YA books although I also enjoy reading other genres. My favorite books currently (most likely to change with time) include The Heroes of Olympus, Tiger Saga, and the Mortal Instruments. I don't really have a favorite author because I just enjoy a lot of writers. I'm always looking for recommendations! Thanks

Noelle Clarke (noellclarke) | 1 comments Hey everybody! I'm Noelle and I love reading, and YA books are some of my favourite to read because of the entertainment factor! I'm currently reading The Secret Life of Prince Charming by Deb Caletti. Some of my favourites include most of Sarah Dessen's books, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, and the Infernal Devices series. Outside of YA I also enjoy classics such as Lord of the Flies, Animal Farm, and Gulliver's Travels! I'm always on the look out for recommendations, and a book that will top The Book Thief for me! :)

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. :("


I understand where you're coming from. It happened to me with Shiver. Oh and alright then, thanks for telling me! I want to read it more now. Haha. :)

Glad to see someone shares the same tastes as me. I'd love to be friends with you :D"


Aw, me too! Although, there's something wrong with my account right now. I'm not sure why but I can't seem to accept friend requests...? :(

Oh and to everyone else, hello! :)

My name is Robert. I'm an avid reader, and writer. I dabble with short stories, and have tried writing a novel before but I mainly write poetry.

message 771: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra Giovanni | 70 comments Hi, my name is Cassandra Giovanni and I am an avid reader and writer of YA novels. My favorite author of all time is Jane Austen, and I love Emma. I just finished reading the Gwen Hayes novel Falling Under and I really enjoyed it. My tastes in YA sub-genres vary as much as my own writing of it from paranormal, romance, historical and thriller. My debut novel is a dystopian novel, In Between Seasons.I've read through a few posts on here and everyone seems to love Cassandra Clare! I will have to pick up one of her novels!

Nicole Wolverton (nicolewolverton) | 0 comments :waves: I'm Nicole--I read quite a bit of YA. My current favorites are Little Brother/Cory Doctorow, The Fault in Our Stars/John Green, and Going Underground/Susan Vaught.

I'm also a writer of YA and adult novels. My first novel is coming out next year (a psychological thrilled titled The Trajectory of Dreams) with Bitingduck Press, and my first YA manuscript is going out on submission.

Looking forward to getting involved in the group!


message 777: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra Giovanni | 70 comments Thanks for the warm welcome.
Nicole--that book title is fabulous!


message 778: by Nicole (last edited Jul 03, 2012 04:14PM) (new)

Nicole Wolverton (nicolewolverton) | 0 comments Thanks, Cassandra! I'm notoriously bad at titling--one of my critique partners named it. Heh! We're currently haggling over a title for the YA novel.


message 779: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra Giovanni | 70 comments Yes, the title is always a struggle, but I find once you know, you know. I can't even remember what In Between Seasons was called before it became that, but I was driving along and thought--that's it! I have to give my husband credit for it though, as it was the name of his band when we met. (I was the photographer for marketing shots for the band). As he has the sole rights to the name, it worked out quite fine! I even got to use the music of In Between Seasons for my book trailer of In Between Seasons. There's a manuscript in my "Books" folder that is still named "New" and that's it!
Is Fari the title you were thinking of? I'm not quite sure what it means!


message 780: by Nicole (new)

Nicole Wolverton (nicolewolverton) | 0 comments Oh weird. There was someone named Fari asking me what the novel was about. Heh!

That's so great that you're able to use your husband's music for your trailer! What a great perk!


message 781: by Renay (new)

Renay (renay89) Hi everyone, I'm Renay :) I really enjoy reading when I get the chance to, theres nothing like getting lost in the pages of a good book! My favourite author is David Clement Davies, his books FireBringer, the Sight and Fell are my favourite books of all time, I highly recommend them to anyone who likes animals and fantasy. Aside from that, I do enjoy Suzanne Collins, JK Rowling, Maggie Stiefvater, Veronica Roth, Amanda Hocking, etc. etc. etc!


message 782: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra Giovanni | 70 comments Nicole--I thought there was someone named Fari on here, but I couldn't find it!

Renay--Amanda Hocking seems to very popular lately, what's your favorite book by her? And welcome!


message 783: by Renay (new)

Renay (renay89) I really like My Blood Approves, I'm currently reading Insurgent right now but when I'm done that one I'm going to start on the second in the My Blood Approves series
