Ju (wraithlair) Hey, I'm Jackie and I think I obsess over The Fault in Our Stars way too much and everything to do with Cassandra Clare as well! I'm all for Harry Potter, Rick Riordan and The Hunger Games too! I think dystopian YA is starting to become one of my favorite genres/sub-genres and hopefully I'll discover some new ones in here :')

Beth Hey everyone, my name is Beth. I am kinda new to the YA book genre, I had been reading erotica books but I was getting bored because well quite frankly they are almost all the same. I just finished reading Hopeless by Colleen Hoover and I must say I am still coming down from that book, it was amazing, by far one of the best books I have ever read! I am currently reading Easy, I look forward to meeting and chatting with each and everyone of you and finding new books to read!

Hi, I know just what you mean, about your kindle and rereading books. I love YA too, even if I don't agree with all your choices for fav books. Have you read Princess of the Midnight Ball? If not, you should, it is absolutely awesome!

message 1538: by Aaron (new)

Aaron Yeager | 3 comments (Stands Up)
Howdy everyone. My name is Aaron, and I am addicted to Fantasy

(Crowd droans Hello)

I think I first realized that I had a problem when I sent out fake wedding invitations as an April fools joke one year, telling everyone that I was engaged to my favorite character (not telling, so don't ask).

However, instead of everyone reacting how I thought they would by saying "Hehe, that was pretty funny," most of them reacted with concern, thinking that I was serious and that I needed professional help.

That is when I thought, "Hmmm, If I'm giving off a vibe that makes people think I would do something like that seriously, I need to rethink my life a little bit."

I'm much more adjusted now, but I still keep a copy of the wedding invitation in my desk just to remind me not to over share when I meet new people.

Crap, I think I just over shared...


message 1539: by Megan (new)

Megan Thomason | 3 comments Your friends need a better sense of humor? That's hilarious. Thanks for over sharing. I needed a good laugh.

message 1540: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin | 1 comments Hi everyone, I'm Caitlin! I'm new to this website, so bare wih me please. (:
I have one question for now;
For me being a very mature 13 year old in the 7th grade, would The Perks of Being a Wallflower be an okay book for me? I've read A LOT of reviews, and think I can handle it. Also, a lot of people are saying there is some sexual subjects. It's not like I don't already know about sex and what happens. Obviously I've never actually engaged in intercourse (OF COURSE! Won't for a lonnnnnggggg time) but its not like it's going to be anything new. Someone please respond, as I really want to read it but might obviously feel very uncomfortable if it goes very in depth with the sexy stuff.

Cinthia (cinthiah) I'm Cinthia and am new to Goodreads. I love YA novels, and really love it when there's a good romance.
