Emily Schmitz-hertzberg | 5 comments Hey I'm Emily... I just joined this website fairly recently so I thought I should get more involved. I love reading soo soo soo much so my friend suggested this website and so far love it. There are sooo many good books that I have read so it is impossible to pick a favorite... But I especially like the book Sarah's key and the Harry potter series. There are so many good books out there though.

Anna (novelaureate) Hello! My name is Anna. I've been on Goodreads for a while, but I have never used it to connect with other users- just lurked reviews etc. My favorite YA book(s) is the Lux series- but my favorite is always changing! I am incredibly obsessed with YA at the moment.

My favorite book of all time is probably Middlesex but I honestly don't know- how can I really decide something like that??

That is incredibly cool that you are writing YA - I dream of writing a book, or even short stories that are worth reading. Where do you find your inspiration!?

Hey i'm V, and I love Harry Potter, and just reading in general.


Angele | adominiquereads (angeleponco) Hi everyone! I'm Angele. And I've been a bookworm since I can remember. But mostly, I prefer paranormal-romance and YA books. I'm not really a huge fan of chick books and they tend to bore me to death. lol. My favorite authors are Suzanne Collins, JK Rowling, Cassandra Clare, Becca Fitzpatrick, Lauren Kate, Richelle Mead, and John Green. I have a lot of favorite authors, but it can be quite lengthy. My all time favorite books are The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, The Host by Stephanie Meyer, and The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare. Currently, I'm reading Gone by Michael Grant and it's amazing so far! My next reads are The Slection by Kiera Cass and THe Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin. :)

Interesting facts about me: I have a horrible dental phobia as i havent been to the dentist once until a couple of months ago; I have double jointed hips , i can shake my eyeballs on command, i used to despise reading until i became an introvert and now i wonder how i ever lived without it!

message 1492: by Paula (new)

Paula (pmhenslow42) | 280 comments Ei guys! Name's Paula but you can call me by my nickname, which is Aya. I started reading novels when I was four, and the very first was Pet Sematary by Stephen King, the reason why I love and worship him. I am also addicted to Young Adult but I tend to be a very big critic of them. I read anything and everything because, though I may be a critic at times, I never judge a book as crap. I love J.K. Rowling because she made my childhood so much more colorful. I also like the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, The Kane Chronicles, all of them as long as it's by Rick Riordan. Cassandra Clare is pretty good, too. John Green has the knack for making me cry. I also read Crime/Mystery/Suspense novels since I am also a big fan of Mary Higgins Clark's Pretend You Don't See Her. I love music, particularly those created in the 80s. I've listened to Guns N' Roses all my life. Oh, and by the way, I'm only 16. :D

Anita (nitathebookworm) | 3 comments Hi! My name is Anita and I'm 17. I actually joined Goodreads a while ago but didn't start utilize it so much until now. I love YA, UF, Sci-Fi, and mystery. I'm not picky about what I read as long as it makes sense and it's good. Favorite authors including Cassandra Claire, Agatha Christie, Karen Moning and so many more! I think this group would be a great interface for me to find wonderful YA books and connect to readers with similar taste in books!

Anita (arcticwish) Well, I guess you have two Anitas now, but I'm 18 and I just joined Goodreads. I read just about anything and everything I can get my hands on and squeeze in with my limited free time.
One of my favorite authors is Cornila Funke and I love all of her books.
I think my favorite book right now is Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but that's not really YA... oh well..
This sounds like fun!


message 1500: by Michelle (new)

Michelle Kobus (rainbowsunset) Hi everyone. I already introduced myself a while ago, but realized I oeft out what might be considered a few interesting details: I was homeschooled my whole life. Now I am a college student pursuing a BA in psychology. I already have an AA in psych, have always made the Deans List, and a little gold leaf on my degree that say honors. I want to earn a PhD in psych and work as a criminal profiler for the FBI. I nearly died in October 2012, and I feel it is my duty to repay that debt by doing something exceptional with my life, like by stopping criminals. Call me crazy, I don't care. :) I loce fantasy nocels and classic lit. I'm shy but can't stop talking once I get to know you.
