B.A. Malisch (bamalisch) Hey, I'm Becky. I'm a MS Librarian, and I like to write YA too. I read in most of the genres, but I'm more partial to Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Speculative Fiction genres. I could use more Goodreads friends, if anyone wants to add me. :)

message 2312: by Lucy (new)

Lucy | 22 comments Hi! My name's Lucy, and I am currently freakishly obsessed with Angelfall. It will pass... eventually. I can't say which books or authors are my favourite because there is a book for every mood or time or place I'm in.


message 2313: by Kyle (new)

Kyle (hiieimkyle) Hey everyone! My name is Kyle! I am absolutely in love with reading. None of my friends understand it though, so I am incredibly excited to meet some people that share the same passion! I usually read about two books a week, sometimes only one. But, I am literally such a selfish person when it comes to my books. I can't just give them back to a library because I get way too emotionally attached. So, I have to buy them (it puts my book-reading on hold sometimes, unfortunately :( ) But, regardless, I am so excited for this group!


message 2314: by Rosal May (new)

Rosal May Ruda (rmruda) | 11 comments Hey, Rosal here. Your typical teenage delinquent who gets high reading YA novels.

Anyways, I don't have a particular genre. Just anything that interests me. And I really, really hope I can share with you guys.


message 2315: by EJ (new)

EJ Portento (injae_16) | 6 comments Hello. I'm Joy and i'm fond of reading books, I like every genres but I'm easily hook by Romance, Humor and Comedy, Suspense, Young Adult.
Mitch Albom, John Green, Cassandra Claire, Nicholas Sparks, Suzzane Collins, E.L. James and Veronica Roth are the authors whom I'm fond of these days.

I may say that reading books is one of the greatest hobby any person can have.

I'm excited to share my thoughts and reviews with you guys.


Kate (kateexplainslit) (kateexplainsit) Hi, I'm Kate. I'm 28. I am a librarian and LOVE YA books! Currently I read mostly dystopian/teen science fiction/fantasy, but I am trying to to branch out into other areas of YA lit like chick lit and realistic fiction. I'm also trying to challenge myself to read more even with my busy schedule. My favorite book of all time isn't YA exactly--In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. A fantastic true crime novel. But my current favorite YA novel is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It has the best narrator I've ever read!


message 2317: by Katie (new)

Katie (katie_nicole) | 2 comments Hi, my name is Katie. I have been an avid reader for almost my entire life, and I love YA books as well as pretty much everything else. Some of my favorites are Jane Eyre, A Wrinkle in Time, Invisible Monsters, and The Giver. My favorite authors are Anne Rice, Chuck Palahniuk, David Foster Wallace, and Nick Hornby.


message 2318: by Tess (new)

Tess | 1 comments Hey Theeeere.
I'm Tess.

I'm a weird teenager who will grab a stick of the ground and yell "Avada Kedavra!" at a random to see if they will yell "Expelliarmus!" back.

I love those books that you just get lost in. Where you're telling yourself you can only read one page at 7:30pm then BOOM! It's 2:45am and you're still saying "One more page."
I love J.K. Rowling, Suzanne Collins, Cassandra Claire, Cathy Cassidy and many, many more.

Overall, my favourite book is Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows.
I adore all the HP books but the last one really got to me.

So, Yeah. ^^

message 2320: by Jasmina (new)

Jasmina Kallay (JasminaKallay) | 1 comments Hi everyone, my name is Jasmina! I'm a YA author as well as an avid YA reader and I love, love, love the teen detective genre, from the Nancy Drew series to the Gallagher Girls series. And I know Veronica Mars is a TV and not a literary character, but I have to include her on this list :)

message 2322: by Skelton (new)

Skelton Rickerby (skeltonrickerby) | 3 comments My name is Skelton Rickerby and I'm the author of a series of books called Growing Pains of a Teenage Werewolf. My major problem is that I have had to change my target audience from teens to older teens: 18+ with warnings. I wanted to create a series where although the main romance is a paranormal romance everything else is pretty realistic including teenage sex between younger teens. Due to Amazon'z rules I was afraid of running foul of them and have had to self censor by changing the ages of my main protaganists. Would I be better to go back to my original plan but more or less cut out the sex or what? Sales have so far been very disappointing and i think I have fallen between two different intentions.


Michelle {Book Hangovers} (bookhangoverz) Hi hi!!
My name is Michelle. I'm pretty new to Goodreads and I'm still getting the hang of things. I'm also new to the whole "reading world". I was to busy partying my life away until things got out of control! Enough was enough. To help me get things in control I started reading. It saved my life! I remember The Hunger Games series being the first books I've ever read (besides the ones in school I was forced to read)
So I'm here to learn, to chat, and to meet fellow book lovers :) Nice to meet y'all xo

message 2345: by Ashleey (new)

Ashleey (adiococonuts) Hello my name is Ashleey and I just joined this club and site. I am currently reading 'of Poseidon' but so far my favorite book is the 'fallen under' series. I basically don't have a favorite author. I have read to many different books to have a favorite author. but i guess you could say J.K Rowling. I love the harry potters. I am open to new suggestions!


message 2346: by Amber (new)

Amber Park (amberbamber) | 1 comments Hi Everyone

I joined this site because I love reading fantasy/ mainstream fiction and wanted to connect with like minded people. My friends would describe me as shy hehehe but once i get going i can be a bit of a chatterbox :):)

What else....well... I like books by C.S Lewis, JRR Tolkien and Stephanie Meyer among others. At the moment I am reading a interesting book titled Emanuel Stone And The Phoenix Shadow by Isaac Solomon. It was recommended to me by a close friend and I must admit I wasn't expecting much. However to my surprise I've found it to be a very deep story about hope, following the journey of an ordinary young man who is coming to grips with his identity in a troubled world. So far it is the most entertaining book I've read this year as it mixes many themes and challenges certain stereotypes held of young people by addressing issues not usually attributed to youth.


message 2347: by Joi (new)

Joi | 198 comments Hi, my name is Joi. I love to read. I don't really have a favorite book, but my favorite author to date is Jodi Picoult.


message 2348: by Angelique (new)

Angelique | 27 comments My name is Angelique but my friends call me Angel. I love reading romance books but I also like horror. So anything from Stephan King, R.L Stine, Christopher Pike, Judy Blume, Rainbow Rowell, Meg Cabot... I can go on! My top five books right now are Fault in our stars, 13 reasons why, Stargirl, Go Ask Alice, and Eleanor & Park.

John Hennessy Erika wrote: "I'm Erika and I love reading. I always have a book with me and I love almost any paranormal book. My favorite books are Clockwork Angel, City of Bones, Daughter of Smoke and Bone, and The Scorpio R..."

My name is John, and I love paranormal / horror / fantasies. I like books that tell the story without over the top character detail or stories that get bogged down with too much world building. Not saying I don't have time for that, I just like to read an engaging engrossing story, be they long or short. Fave author - too many to list, but would go for JRR Tolkien, Anne Rice and Stephen King from the 'old guard' and Kendare Blake, Cassandra Clare and JK Rowling from the 'new guard'. Fave book of all time time probably is The Lord of the Rings, though I happily add Rebecca's World by Terry Nation, Blubber by Judy Blume, and George Orwell's Nineteen-Eighty-Four to that list.


message 2350: by Micky (new)

Micky | 1 comments Hello everyone, my name is Micky and as most people here, I love YA books. Romance, Fantasy and some nice action is the perfect mixture for me.
My favourite writers are probably Maria V. Snyder and Sarah J. Maas, but I also like the books of Cassandra Clare and I could always read The Hunger Games (Suzanne Collins) or The Decoy Princess (Dawn Cook) again and again and again...
Looking forward to discussing great books with you! :)
