D.J. Stoneham | 2 comments I'm David. Favourite book series is The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant by Stephen Donaldson (Lewis Carroll's Alice books come a close second). Those are also my two favourite authors although I've enjoyed the work of dozens of others e.g. Anne Rice, Bill Bryson, David Nicholls and so on.

Hi everyone nice to meet you all, I'm Hally. I love reading books, I took a short break but I'm finally back to reading and YA has always been a favourite genre! x


message 9559: by Tamara (new)

Tamara Ali | 2 comments Hi everyone, I'm Tamara! I am literally addicted to YA books - mostly contemporary; maybe just because I'm a teenager myself & I prefer to read relatable stories. I'm currently reading The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar. My favourite book (at the moment) is The Suicide Notes by Michael Thomas Ford, but I don't really have a favourite author. I've recently published my debut YA novel, and I'm now drafting my 2nd, so I am looking for more YA book recs to help inspire me right now. Happy to be apart of this group and hopefully make some new friends & discover new books!


message 9560: by Lily (last edited Apr 08, 2023 10:19PM) (new)

Lily Hi, I'm Lily! I love Ruta Septeys, J.K. Rowling, Roald Dahl, C.S. Lewis, Jane Austen, John Green, Jennifer L. Barnes, and others I'm forgetting. :) Some good books I recently read were Five Feet Apart, the Inheritance Games, The Fault in Our Stars, Pride and Prejudice (I'm still working on that one), and To All the Boys I've Loved Before. I'm currently reading the book thief and love it so far. If you guys have any recommendations, I would love to hear them! Thank you, and please friend me because I would love new people to talk about books with! I'm so happy to be here and find people who share a love of reading from across the world! Have a great week, and I'll be praying for y'all!


message 9561: by Wolf (last edited Apr 08, 2023 11:38PM) (new)

Wolf | 4 comments Hey! My name's Amber and I am a massive book worm. I am dangerously addicted to YA (and books in general). Currently reading about 5 different books, including City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (again!) and Darkness be my Friend by John Marsden (Its an amazing series called Tomorrow, this is the 4th book). My favourite genres are dystopian and fantasy but I'll read pretty much anything if it's good enough. If I tried to list all my favourite books, I'd be here all day, and probably run out of space before I list of half. I'll give a few though. I love the Hunger Games, Red Queen, Divergent, Inheritance Cycle, the Mortal Instruments, Dune, Lord of the Rings, Inheritance Games, Fault in our Stars, Pride and Prejudice, Shadow and Bone, Twilight, the 5th Wave, Shatter me, This Woven Kingdom- this already getting to long.

message 9571: by M.C. (new)

M.C. Ryder Hello everyone! I'm M. C. Ryder and just joined. I'm a fan of YA and enjoy writing in the genre too. I'm currently reading The Island by Natasha Preston. Unfortunately, it's not my favorite work from her. I enjoy reading other genres as well like mystery and anything that keeps my attention. I like stories that are not predictable and are meaningful that teaches you something along the way. I enjoyed reading the Harry Potter books back in the day, Twilight, love The Vampires Diaries tv show not the book ironically, Divergent was the best book and movie in the series. Some of my favorite authors include Iris Johansen, Chevy Stevens, Kristin Hannah, Carlene Thompson, Rachel Caine, Veronica Roth (loved The Chosen Ones), and Tia Torres (who has some new books in the work soon!).


message 9572: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (rebeccamontgomery) Hi everyone, my name is Becca and I'm excited to be a part of this community. In terms of reading, I'm a big fan of YA, fantasy, sci-fi and myster/thriller. I would say YA is the most common even though I'm in my 40s and probably older than a lot of you. Anyone should feel free to add me as I'm always looking for new books to add to my reading list. I'm looking forward to chatting with all of you and discovering some great books.

message 9582: by Sanne (new)

Sanne N. | 2 comments Hi, I'm Sanne! I was born in America but I'm currently living in Sweden with my partner and our adorable menace of a cat. I love a good fantasy novel, and some of my favorites have been Patricia C. Wrede's Enchanted Forest series, and most things by Tamora Pierce! I particularly love books that put a new spin on a tired formula. I'm also an author myself, having recently published my first YA book on amazon! It's called Searching for Magic if anyone's curious :)


message 9583: by Alison (new)

Alison | 2 comments I’m Alison & I’m 28 in grad school. I accidentally stumbled on YA horror during testing week because I needed something short and then read another… another… I loved it! I love my adult horror but I was hooked on YA horror because there was something unique about seeing the world of a horror through eyes of a teen written for a teen. In adult horror, they’re usually the victims or dumb. In YA, they’re the heroes and interpret things in a unique, genuine way I think sometimes we lose as adults.
I also love the creativity of YA books! It’s scary without resorting to cheap garbage like sexual violence. There’s an actual plot that’s usually original, well thought out, and more sophisticated than I ever thought to give credit for!
I was such a horror snob 😅

My most recent 5 star was The Missing Piece of Charlie O Reilly by Rebecca Ansari and wow. What a break. That author is incredible! I read 2 adult horrors after and honestly? What bores 😂 anyway, I’m indulging and loving this new chapter in my reading journey!
Always happy to make new friends so you can add me if you’d like!

Crime Scene Analyst! That is awesome! Do you unconsciously critique books when they have crime scenes?


message 9594: by Slynn (new)

Slynn Bookster (slynnbookster) | 1 comments Hello everyone!! I am new to this group and relatively new to goodreads. I LOVE reading (an addict really) and doing audible. YA changed from what it was 10 or 15 years ago but I still like it. I enjoy any genre of romance...fantasy, thriller/suspense, and Christian. I value reviews when deciding on books and so I decided I have 40 years of reading experience to add to my reviews. Now I am trying to establish myself.


message 9595: by Charcoal (new)

Charcoal | 1 comments Hello there. I'm fairly new to goodreads but enjoy it so far. I am happy that there are book communities out there who love to read as much as I do. I'm into a lot of YA and fantasy. Always looking for something new though!

Michael Finberg Erika wrote: "What's your name? Favorite book? Author?"

I'm Michael.

I'm a YA writer myself among other types of books.

Is there a Harry Potter thread in this group?

I read the entire series twice and the first book fifteen times.

It was great prep for my own series Zone Girls, but my style and themes morphed quite a bit from JK Rowling's style.

I still appreciate her complex plot weaves and multiplex story world construction.

I passed after the seven book series.

Don't care much for her other stuff.

May you always be in The Zone.

message 9598: by Brynne (new)

I am currently reading ‘Happy Place’ by Emily Henry, i know it isn’t YA,but when reading romance i mostly read YA, but i do read some non-YA when they do not have spice or they have little spice.
