Stacie (staciesnape) Hi, my name is Stacie. I'm 23 years old from London,UK. I love reading, and even though I found the joy in it a bit late (around the age of 11-12) I've been reading ever since.
I read pretty much anything but my favourite is YA.

Old favourites : Harry Potter, The Saga of Darren Shan, The Demonata Series, The Mortal Instruments (only the first 3), Before I Die etc

Recent favourites: The Hunger Games, Divergent Series, Delirium Series, The Hybrid Chronicles, Daughter of Smoke and Bone, The Fault in Our Stars

Marijke Jansen (marijkefjansen) Hi Stacy! I've read (and love) most of your favorites too. Have you also read The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare? I loved those too!


message 1261: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (staciesnape) I have read The Infernal Devices but found the story to be really recycled haha. The Mortal Instruments used to one of my favourite series but after She started bringing out more the it and other stories that had the same sorta love triangle in it I lost hope. Specially when I found out she going to be bring another series with the same story line. I just feel that she's taking something that was once great and miliking it. You know?


message 1262: by Marijke (new)

Marijke Jansen (marijkefjansen) I know what you mean, althought I didn't experience this myself with The Infernal Defices. I found it quite original that she placed it in another time, although the triangel definitely feels a little the same. I did hear that City of Fallen Angels and City of Lost Souls were not great. Just bought book 4 myself and this book is hard to read. I don't know why, but I think it's like what you said. Their story was just over.

I know what you mean. I've read all her books but I only liked the 3 because after that they just seemed the same haha.

Don't get me wrong, I actually liked the 1st on in The Infernal Defices

message 1269: by Katie (new)

Katie (kayteaface) Hey everyone! I'm Katie and I live in Ireland. I absolutely love to read; it's such a great way to escape for a while! Contemporary YA and epic fantasy are my favourite genres at the moment but, really, I'll read anything if the summary grabs me. A few of my favourite books are Paper Towns, Grave Mercy, Anna and the French Kiss and the A Song of Ice and Fire series :)
I'm really looking forward to getting involved with the discussions here!


message 1270: by lilacpalette (new)

lilacpalette Hello guys. My name's Lei. A full-time shadowhunter. ;) Big fan of classics and mysteries. I love all the books that I've read, so I don't really have a favorite. =))


message 1271: by Naomi (new)

Naomi Rabinowitz (naomirabinowitz) | 4 comments Hi, I'm Naomi, author of Revenge Of A Band Geek Gone Bad by Naomi Rabinowitz I'm also an avid YA fan (though I left my teen years behind a loooong time ago!). I really love the Jessica Darling books and Meg Cabot's Mediator series. Lately, I've become a huge fan of Lauren Oliver. I'm probably in the minority, but I like her Delirium series better than the Hunger Games (though I was impressed with that series, as well). I'm looking forward to hearing what everyone else likes so I can get some great reading recommendations.

message 1274: by Nikita (new)

Nikita (heytherenikita) Hello! I'm Nikita and I cannot remember a time in my life when books weren't my best friends. :-) I would have to say that my favourite book is Looking for Alaska by John Green, because of how much I could relate to the characters and because of what the book taught me, and my favourite author would have to be John Green, because of the impact he has had on how I perceive life in general (not just through his books but also his other creative projects).

I tend to only read fiction and lurk in the YA section a lot. Some other authors that are really close to my heart are David Levithan, Stephen Chbosky, Jay Asher, Jodi Picoult, and Kazuo Ishiguro. I also enjoy my fair share of dystopia and fantasy, so of course Suzanne Collins and J. K. Rowling are high up in my charts as well.

I'm excited to have stumbled upon this group and hopefully I'll have a great time discovering new books and authors along with the rest of you! :-)

message 1277: by Paige (new)

Kyra Dune (kyradune) Hi, I'm Kyra and I love to read any kind of fantasy book. I also read a little science fiction and horror.


message 1280: by Shay (new)

Shay | 0 comments Hi I'm Shiela and I'm 17! This is my first group in Goodreads:) I love YA! My favorite author is John Green and I love all his books, but my favorite is The Fault in Our Stars. Looking for Alaska is a very close second. I read both contemporary and fantasy YA and I can't really choose which one I like better because I read based on my mood:)) For contemporary YA, I really like Sarah Dessen, especially Along for the Ride and Just Listen. I also love Jenny Han and her Summer series...Anna and the French Kiss! I can't list all of the books that I loved because the list will be endless:)) I just pretty much read everything contemporary from Meg Cabot to John Green. Now for fantasy/supernatural. Harry Potter is my number one, of course.:))I used to really like vampire books, and I really LOVED Richelle Meade's (Dmitri!)Vampire Academy series. I also LOVE (Adrian!) Bloodlines series now:)) I LOVE dystopian books, but this genre is really a hit or miss for me!!! Hunger games opened my eyes to this amazing genre. I LOVE Divergent!! I also really like Under the Never Sky, Angelfall, Uglies..(I'd like to really know more great dystopian books)For fantasy I really like The Mortal Instruments, The Infernal Devices, Unearthly..etc:)) I also really like adventure/epic books like Graceling and Poison Study. I can't remember some of the other books I like because they're too many! HAHA this comment is so long, I'm just so excited to share my thoughts finally:))


message 1281: by Lee (new)

Lee Larsen (lee_larsen) | 1 comments Hello Everyone, my name is Lee. I have always loved reading Epic Fantasy, and lately I have been looking for good YA Urban Fantasy and Paranormal books, so I figured I would check this group out. I love reading! It's finding the time that's the hard part :). My favorite authors are Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson. The last book I read was The Hunger Games, and I have to admit I loved the first two books, but wasn't impressed by the third. Thank you Anne and Erika for putting this group together.

message 1286: by Alejandra (Allie) (new)

Alejandra (Allie) (lost_at_hogwarts) Heya, my name is Alejandra and I'm 13 (about to be 14) years old. I only read YA books and I tend to judge a book by its cover. I would love to meet more people on Goodreads so I don't mind if you add me. Hmm what else...oh, I love to eat junk food especially Hot Cheetos and potato chips. I'm a spelling freak so please try to spell correctly in front of me or I just might go crazy. I hate writing but a friend of mine is trying to share the love with me. My favorite book series of all time is Harry Potter but that was to be expected. My least favorite book series of all time is the Twilight saga but that was also to be expected. Right behind Harry Potter on my favorites list is the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. I can go on and on about my favorite books but I need to stop typing before this thing gets too long. Don't mind adding me to your friends list. I'm pretty lonely atm. :)

Patricia (Night Readings) (nightreadings) | 4 comments Hi, my name is Patricia. I have been on Goodreads for about a year now, ghosting around the site, reading reviews and comments, before I realized that joining a group might be fun. So here I am :)

I obviously enjoy reading YA fiction, mostly fantasy, romance and thrillers. Some of my favorite authors are Holly Black, Richelle Mead, J.K. Rowling, Karen Marie Moning, and Jeaniene Frost.

Bea  Alex | 37 comments Hi my name is Alexandra (Alex),
Since I joined goodreads I've been thinking to join a group but I thought that it would be strange because everyone in the group would already know each other, but I am glad that I was wrong.

My favourite book is "Before I fall". And I really enjoy reading young adult books and romance and fantasy from them!!!
