message 2751: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Hi, I'm Rachel and I love to read! I love to read YA for pleasure and also am fortunate that I have to read it for my work; I'm a doctoral student studying literacy and education. I joined GoodReads to connect with other lovers of YA fiction and to think about how reading is changing due to the social nature of GoodReads. Currently, I'm reading book 1 of the Bartimaeus Trilogy (Jonathon Stroud).

Some of my favorite books of all time are One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez , The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje , and The Night Fairy by Laura Amy Schlitz . More recently, I've fallen in love with Battle Bunny by Jon Scieszka , Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell , and The Undertaking of Lily Chen by Danica Novgorodoff .

I'm excited to be a part of this group!

Mau (mebemau) | 2 comments I'm Mau, 18 and a recent eBook convert, so I carry practically all my books on me at all times which is both beautiful and tragically distracting. Favorites include books by Laurie Halse Anderson such as Speak. John Green is my guilty pleasure and my favorite YA series has to be the Divergent trilogy. Also a huge HP, THG & Whitman fan.
