message 1851: by Salome (new)

Salome | 57 comments Hello, I'm Salome. I'm new to all this. I just recently discovered reading to be my escape from my crazy life (full-time job and raising two kids). I started off with the Harry Potter And Percy Jackson series and just recently have been introduced to Cassandra Clare, Veronica Roth, Julie Kagawa, and Suzanne Collins. While i may feel a little ailly reading YA in my 30s, I am hooked like its a drug! I particularly enjoy dystopian universe books.

I look forward to reading more and getting suggestions.

message 1862: by [deleted user] (new)

If you haven't joined one of my two groups you should. They're Twilight Saga and Twilight Forever. They're both really awesome, but they're not as active as I'd like. So if you like Twilight just as much as I do come check out one of my two groups.

message 1864: by Sayerah (new)

Sayerah (fangirlrambling) | 1 comments Hey everyone.
I'm Sayerah and I have always loved reading. For me it wasn't like most people here, who read a book that made them fall in love with reading. My love for reading was there when I was born. I think it has come to me from my grandfather because no one else in my family is a particularly avid reader.
I read all kinds of books, I prefer YA and I'm sick of love triangles. I am up to my neck in cliches and I would really appreciate no further cliches...
So, that's me, someone else please go...

message 1873: by Wendy (new)

Wendy Gray (wendygray) | 2 comments Hey everyone! My name is Wendy Gray, and I'm a self-published author. My book Betting on Fate is free for a day or two on Amazon and I would absolutely love for you all to download it and to get some feedback from you guys. I joined this group because the books you read and review are typically what I read and the general feel of the group is very positive. I hope you can take a second or two to download and let me know what you think. I included the synopsis below, thanks in advance!

Best friends make bets all the time. But when the stakes involve taking your neighbor’s virginity, it’s never a good idea. Especially when he turns out to be your soul mate.

Charlotte Bowman thought all teenage boys were alike. She had been warned all her life that they were only interested in one thing. Then along came Ryan Taylor, her long lost neighbor. After a terrible car accident claimed his father’s life and seriously injured his mother, Ryan was forced to leave the prestigious Abbot Hall Academy in London and return home to South Carolina. His only intentions were to help his mother with her rehabilitation and take care of his out-of-control younger brother.

Though Charlotte hadn't talked to Ryan at all during the last six years, and had scarcely spoken with him since he returned home, she couldn't deny that there was a little chemistry there. On a whim she made a bet with her best friend, Olivia, that she could have sex with Ryan even though it was rumored that he was saving himself for marriage. Being a virgin herself, Charlotte quickly discovered she lacked the finesse needed to seal the deal. She ultimately finds herself stuck in a high stakes
poker game where she’s about to lose much more than a bet. Betting on Fate by Joy Casey

message 1884: by D.M. (new)

D.M. Cherubim (dmcherubim) | 7 comments Hi, I think I forgot to introduce myself. I'm a new YA author, and I love just about every book I ever read. Except the bad ones. Oh well, enough said about those... I have a new book out. It's getting rave reviews somewhere around here. And I'm giving away some copies of it somewhere. I have a new blog, but I'm more a writer than a blogger. I'm working on my second book, which is fairly radically different from my first book. Interests include, but aren't limited to: reading, writing, cooking, eating, Dressage horses, jumpers, all horses, silly dogs, water dogs, goofy cats, kittens, birds (especially white cockatoos), whales dolphins and, well, saving the world. There's more, but this is getting too long. You guys have great and lively discussions!
