Frida | 3 comments Hi everyone! My name is Frida and I love reading all kinds of books, though my favorite genres are fantasy, contemporary and romance. I’m from Finland and love the bustling city but also have a passion for the quiet nature.

I can’t pick one favorite book because I’ve read plenty of amazing books. To mention a few on the top of my head however maybe Ignite me by Tahereh Mafi, Binding 13 by Chloe Walsh and Iron Wing by Rebecca Yarros. I’m currently reading Once Upon A Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber and so far so *very* good.

I would love to chat further with all of you and I’m extremely happy to have found this group! Happy reading! Xx <3

My name is B.L. Mostyn. I love YA Fantasy, but I can be an eclectic reader. Some of my favorite authors are Brandon Sanderson (Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians is hilarious at any age!), Gail Carriger (Parasol Protectorate, Finishing School, The Custard Protocol, all great series), and Michael J. Sullivan (maybe a little more "adult", but excellent and funny none-the-less).
I loved YA Fantasy so much that I actually just published my first book in the genre. (If you want to know more message me anytime.)

message 10175: by Tray (new)

Tray Burch | 1 comments Hey everyone! I’m Tray Burch—excited to be here.

I love character driven YA and excited to join the Goodreads family and discover what this community has to offer.

One of my favorite books is They Wish They Were Us by Jessica Goodman, and I really admire E. Lockhart for how she blends sharp prose with emotional weight.

I’m the author of Castleton, a new YA novel debuting June 10. It’s perfect for readers who love slow-burn suspense, queerness woven into the everyday, and stories that quietly peel back the pretty. Can’t wait to connect with you all!

message 10185: by Edgar Jahir (new)

Edgar Jahir (Taylor’s Version) | 6 comments Hi my name is Edgar! I can’t say I have a favorite book per se if I had to really choose though I’d say Dear Evan Hansen or The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. As for favorite author I would say either Rick Riordan (always been a big Percy Jackson fan) or Suzanne Collins (gotta love those hunger game books man also she made us suffer with that SOTR). Genre wise it’s all over the place but I do stay mostly in fiction but variety of it within the that. I’m always looking to see if I find something out of my usual reads, recently I’ve been reading a lot Dystopian stuff like SOTR but also Fahrenheit 451!

message 10189: by WILL (new)

WILL U READ (willuread) | 25 comments 📚 Hi, I’m Will — welcome to my bookshelf!

I’m a compassionate, multicultural stargazer of life who believes stories are more than entertainment—they’re portals into truth, emotion, and connection. As an autistic reader and creator, I find joy in noticing what others might miss: a poetic turn of phrase, a sensory detail that lingers, or the quiet courage of a character just trying to be understood.

I read widely, but I’m especially drawn to stories that center identity, resistance, and emotional truth—historical fiction, powerful memoirs, character-driven fantasy, and multicultural narratives that stretch across time and borders. I feel most at home in books that echo complexity and wonder, just like the world around us.

Beyond reading, I’m a photographer and content creator who loves pairing stories with visuals—whether that’s through portraits, toy photography, or the occasional fandom-fueled video (Star Wars fans, Marvel nerds—come on in). My top three characters right now? Cal Kestis, Matt Murdock, and Belle da Costa Greene from The Personal Librarian—characters who carry light in complicated worlds.

Goodreads is where I track my reads, share honest reflections, and connect with others who read with heart. Feel free to say hello, recommend a story, or just wander through my shelves.

Tsen  (tsen90) | 3 comments Hi everyone. I'm Tsen. I write contemporary fiction with themes of self-discovery and navigating life's changes. My novel, 'The Archivist of Lost Connections' (on Wattpad, link in my profile), is about nostalgia and online friendships. Glad to be here.


message 10191: by honey (new)

honey Hii, I'm Honey, yes my name is honey but anyway I have never done something like this so i am a little bit scared but it's ok. i love switching up different genres to keep myself from getting reading slumps for a longer period of time. the genres i love - dark romance, arranged marriage, fanatsy, thriller, classics etc. things i do not like - spineless fmc (i think it's overdone now and we all are badass in our own ways so it really needs to stop), actually that is a long list but I'll keep it short for now. byee!!!

message 10194: by BiggoDoodle (new)

BiggoDoodle | 1 comments Hi all! I hope I'm doing this right, but I'm Haley! I'm a current junior college student getting back into reading after a slump when I first moved out. It's a slow progress with summer classes, but I hope I can meet a bunch of like-minded readers and maybe a few new friends on here! It's been a hot minute since I sat down and read a full book, but one of my current favorite books may be Dig by A.S King. Honestly a very interesting read and I don't hear it talked about it much! Any recs would be amazing! I love fantasy, romance, fiction, but I'm always willing to try new things. Fun fact about me is I also do art!
