message 9056: by ☆ Raegan ☆ (new)

☆ Raegan ☆ | 6 comments Hi! I'm Raegan. I've been in a big reading slump for the past few years, reading half the number of books that I usually do while my TBR grows at the same rate. This year I've definitely been picking up!

I read a variety of books, but I gravitate to YA and New Adult, contemporary/romance, paranormal/urban fantasy, mystery/dark and historical fiction.

Some of my favorite series are the Shadow Falls series by C.C. Hunter, the Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater, Bridgerton by Julia Quinn, Harry Potter by J.K Rowling, the Midnight Texas and Harper Connolly series by Charlaine Harris, the Hunger Games by Susanne Collins, the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares and Twilight by Stephanie Meyers.

Some of my favorite authors (aside those mentioned above) are John Green, Kara Thomas, Becky Albertalli and Jenny Han.

I read all these series a while ago and I'm really itching for something new to completely fall in love with. If you have recommendations for me please let me know! If you have similar interests, friend me!

message 9060: by Lydia (new)

Lydia Hi! My name is Lydia :) I got addicted to reading when I was 12 and it's only gotten worse since then. NA/ Adult Fantasy and YA fantasy, are the main genres I read and I'm excited to have found this discussion page because I LOVE to talk about books. I wish I could say I have one favorite book, but anything that I have ever rated 5 stars would count as a favorite. But if I had to choose, it would probably be AOMAF by the queen herself, Sarah J. Maas.

message 9097: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Rodriguez | 4 comments Hi All!
I am a debut author of YA fantsy novel: Laela and the Moonline. If interested to R4R please contact me. See; https://amzn.to/3uRnIUL.

Laela`s journey speaks to young people seeking their authentic selves and exploring issues of social justice.

Kirkus Reviews had this to say about Laela and the Moonline.
“A teenager seeks adventure and transcendence in this YA fantasy debut.
Laela is a Treedle who lives in the elevated canopy world of Aerizon. She's about to transition from girlhood to womanhood, and in the Pyuva clan, that means a life focused on the home and child rearing. But Laela yearns to continue hunting and exploring the wider realm, activities reserved for boys and men. Complicating her feelings is an attraction to her handsome and popular Pyuva classmate Vito. . . . Perskie delivers a lushly crafted tale that embraces the chosen one trope in unexpected ways. Laela will earn her place in readers' hearts with her relatable bristling at Treedle conformity. . . . The details about Treedle culture—including Laela's stay in the Enclosure during her transition—make the hero's transgressions later in the narrative all the more astonishing. . . .” — Kirkus Reviews

Alix | 1 comments Hi all! My name is Alix. Obviously I love reading, but I lost my love for it in my early 20s (due to a multitude of reasons), and I’m currently trying to rekindle my love for it again.
I love a good fantasy novel. I mostly read YA fantasy/sci fi/general fiction. My all-time favorite book is Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede.

Never too old for fantasy! But I feel you. It's hard to find time to read when you've got a little one. That's why I write shorter novels so that moms like myself, can fit it into their day :)
