Hi Micky!


message 2352: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 3 comments I'm Sarah. I've loved reading ever since the fifth grade, when I read so much that my teacher told my parents it was a problem. I love YA, the stories are deep, yet still fairly clean. Most of the time when I read an unknown author in adult fiction I'm disappointed by the foul language. I stick to authors I know, but in YA I can explore. I love all the recent greats like Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Twilight, some of my childhood favorites are Isaac Asimov, Anne McCaffery, Tamora Pierce, C.S. Lewis and Louisa May Alcott.

I love teenagers, I have a two daughters in the age group and they are fun and unexpected. Sometimes they act goofy and sometimes wise. I also teach in schools and private music lessons and love working with the young adult age group.

Hi and welcome
I was looking in to that book you are reading and it sounds quite interesting. Couldn't find it on here there. It must be fairly new?!? Look forward to chatting with you, maybe comparing books :)

Christy | 2 comments Hi Guys,
I'm Christy and I love YA PNRs. I use to just use Goodreads to keep up with the books I have read but I want to start talking with more bookies my friends are not readers. So please feel free to make any suggestions and add me. Thanks :)

Oh P.S. I'm loving Amy A. Bartol right now and Sarah J. Maas

Donka Aleksandrova (donka_aleksandrova) Hi! I'm Donka and I love to read, my new addiction is YA books. It is nice to have time to read something else, other than academics. My favourite book is Divergent by Ms. Roth.
Looking forward to discussing great books with you!

Kaity (i-love-books-because-reasons) Hi, I'm Kaitlynne but everyone calls me Kaity.
I love The Gallagher Girls series, Heist Society series, Maximum Ride, Percy Jackson, The Heroes of Olympus, Divergent, Matched and The Kane Chronicles.
My favorite authors are Ally Carter and Rick Riordan.

Hi Kaity!!!!


message 2361: by cc (new)

cc (caitlinisakittycat) My name is Caitlin. I love YA, fantasy, SciFi, & romance. I have an extra soft spot for dystopian fiction. Choosing a favorite is hard - I love The Hunger Games, Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Outsiders, Just Listen, Chime, Under the Jolly Roger (& the rest of the Bloody Jack series, honestly), & 19 Minutes among many others. If Jodi Picoult or Sarah Dessen wrote it, I probably love it (with the exception of "Mercy" & "The Moon & More" which I found sadly lacking). I can't wait to add new favorites to the list!


message 2362: by Taylor (new)

Taylor Thompson (taylormegon) | 4 comments Hi, I'm Taylor! I'm a dork, with an addiction to buying books...every time I go out to shop. Oops. No regrets. Anyways, my favorite books are the Fault in Our Stars, the Spectacular Now, Eleanor & Park, and the Divergent series. (Though I cannot decide how I feel about Allegiant). I read a new book probably every 1-2 days. I also write; competition and pleasure writing. Right now, I'm working on writing five different books, and eventually I aspire to be an editor for a young adult book publishing house.


message 2363: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey I'm Tori and I love to read anything within the young adult genre. I look forward to sharing my love of reading with people that have the same interests as me!!


message 2364: by maťa (new)

maťa (charlotte41) Hi :) I'm Charlotte & I'm 15 years old. I love books, music and ice hockey!
My favorite books/series are Divergent, Delirium, Hunger Games, Nightshade, The Fault in Our Stars, Pretties, Harry Potter and books like that, so basically anything that can fit in the young adult genre :)
My favorite artists are probably Green Day, Sum 41, Avril Lavigne, My Chemical Romance and Ed Sheeran.
I love seeing other people's book reviews and ratings because it helps me find great books I've never heard of so definitely add me if you want to c:

Secrency | 0 comments Hi! I'm Rachel Elisabeth. I love reading. I read almost every book I can get. And I love each paranormal book. I still can't figure out which book is my favourite, but my favourite authors are: James Dashner, Meggie Stiefvater, Cassandra Clare, Julie Kagawa, Suzanne Collins. Pardon me for spelling mistakes, beacause I am not from an english country. I'm from east Europe. From Lithuania. I'm very proud of myself, that my english is quite good and I can join this amazing group

message 2367: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi, I'm Avery. I have so many favorite books and authors I can't pick! But the last couple of days I've fallen in love with Charles Dickens.


message 2368: by Harlee (new)

Harlee Hey everyone, I'm Harlee and I'm addicted to YA books! I've been trying to branch out and find some new genres, but I always come back to YA fantasy (: I'm 19 years old and I'd have to say my favorite series are PJ & the Olympians, The Heroes of Olympus, The Hunger Games, and Escape from Furnace.


message 2369: by Miranda (new)

Miranda | 5 comments I'm Miranda, I'm 29, have a husband and two beautiful kids and am a devourer of books. My husband limits me to one book a week so we don't go broke! Haha, but I like lending books from an online library to supplement. Yes, I'm an e-reader. I like YA a LOT but dapple in other genre's too. Both my kids love to read and I couldn't be happier about that. My husband, not so much. I've always wanted to be in a book club, so this is exciting to me. I hope to be able to provide some worthwhile opinions in this group!

I'm Laurel from Colorado. I work in the children's department at a library and I love reading YA and middle grade novels. Some of my favorites include the Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Claire, the Matches series by Ally Condie, and the Darkangel series by Meredith Pierce. Nice to meet you!


message 2372: by C.I. (new)

C.I. DeMann Hey dudes. I'm C.I. and I love all types of genres, but I think YA's my favorite. I'd say my favorite YA book is... maybe "The Amber Spyglass" by Philip Pullman. That was the last book in the Golden Compass series. My favorite YA author is Scott Westerfeld. He is a genius. He sneezes great books.

message 2385: by kimmy (new)

kimmy Yay, hi! :) I'm Kimberly, 16, from Australia. YA is about all I read and my favourite series have to be a toss up between The Darkest Minds trilogy and the Penryn & the End of Days series, though that could change since they're not completed. I love The Hunger Games trilogy too!

Theresa | 1 comments Hi, I'm Theresa, 29 years old and a fan of YA for almost all of my life! I used to be a middle school English teacher and now I write YA fiction! Some of my all-time faves include The Westing Game and Children of the River, and my current fave is Just One Day.

message 2388: by Sheebe (last edited Nov 26, 2013 03:58AM) (new)

Sheebe Q | 2 comments Hi! I'm Sha from Bangkok, Thailand. Nice to meet you all! To be honest, I used to dislike YA for some times because I tried to read a popular YA series and it all went wrong. So my early impression with YA kinda stifled me from reading more of them. But hey, I'm over it now. Since I've found the right kinds, I've been reading more and more of YA.

I love The Hunger Games, John Green's books, The Blood of Eden series by Julie Kagawa and any novels that have kickass heroines! They are just awesome beyond words!


The Life Of A Firefly (thelifeofafirefly) | 171 comments Hello sha, nice to meet you too :D
