message 3101: by Chris (new)

Chris W | 49 comments Welcome Alicia, as a friend would say, "Sadtastic".

I like a mix, because I also like to read books to feel happy. You probably read My Sister's Keeper right?


message 3102: by [deleted user] (new)

Actually I've only watched the movie but the book is definietly on my "to- read list"! :)


message 3103: by Chris (new)

Chris W | 49 comments @Alicia, I haven't watched the movie, but I really liked the book. And its sad that they cut out Julia in the movie, she adds so much to the story.


message 3104: by M.A. (new)

M.A. Nichols (manichols) Hello, hello! So, I'm new to the whole "group" thing, but I thought I'd give it a go. I love reading and most especially YA urban fantasy, though I read a little of everything. In my spare time (what little that is), I paint and write. I'm working on a YA urban series and am in the process of the final edits for the first novel.


message 3105: by [deleted user] (new)

Hello there! I'm Kathryn and I read about any genre I can get my hands on. I just happen to have a soft spot for YA books. I'm 23 years old and I live in a tiny coastal town in Northern California. Some of my favorite authors are JK Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien, Max Brooks, Suzanne Collins, Eoin Colfer, and the list just goes on and on. I'm looking for some new books that I haven't read yet and hope this group can help me find them. =]

Heathery (hhebert17) Hi all, I'm Heathery. :) I've joined mostly because I love BOTM type activities haha. Also want to get some new recs. I've read most of the "famous" YA books/series, but am getting rather underwhelmed with the formulaic vampire/werewolf stuff and hoping to discover some new, original YA books! Love anything with mythology (Greek, Egyptian, Norse, whatever).

message 3115: by Brett (new)

Brett Danielson | 1 comments Hello, my name is Brett. YA is my favorite genre; particularly YA fantasy. I haven't read a whole lot anything other than that. I'm pretty much the only one of my friends who reads so I figured if I want to talk about books or get opinions then I better find some place online.

I love YA paranormal and some of my favorite authors are Amy Bartol, Cassandra Clare, Rebecca Ethington, and Sarah Fine. Those awesome ladies have given me many happy evenings of reading. They aren't paranormal, but my first loves in literature were "Jane Eyre," and "Pride and Prejudice."
I fell hard for Mr. Rochester and Mr. Darcy at a young age and never recovered:)

message 3121: by Diana (new)

Diana Petkovic Hi. I'm Diana. I'm a YA writer, but am also a huge YA fangirl in all media. I'd say my favorite YA writer is Suzanne Collins although I do like the works of Melissa West, Joelle Charbonneau, Sarah J Maas, and of course Cassandra Clare. As far as dialogue goes, I really miss seeing YA TV shows with Joss Whedon's stamp on the script, but I do like Julie Plec's work in The Vampire Diaries and The Originals.

Florien May (booksflosion) | 13 comments Hi everyone! My name is Florien (but you can call me Flo)

I just recently (about a month ago) became a book addict after reading The Fault In Our Stars!
My favourite books are The Fault In Our Stars (obviously), Divergent (the whole trilogy), Rebel Belle & Hush Hush (series).
I don't have a lot of books (for now anyway) but I am drawn into becoming an addicted book buyer.
Favourite authors are definitely John Green, Veronica Roth, Rachel Hawkins & Becca Fitzpatrick.

So yeah, I am new to this Book lover community thing which in that case feel free to give me suggestions on what I could read (preferably YA books or Romantic, Comedy, Fantasy or even Contemporary).
Let's be friends yay! (add me if you want)


message 3126: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi I'm Jamie. I'm new to the site and still getting use to it. Like everyone heard, I have huge book obsession. My TBR pile is definitely bigger than the list of books I've already but then again I don't really mind that. I love collecting books and keeping my options open. The first books I ever read and loved in English were books by Tamora Pierce. To this day, they're my pride and joy, along with my Harry Potter series. My taste has broaden since but I still keep going back to the YA genre.


message 3127: by Tabitha (new)

Tabitha (tabimarar) | 2 comments Hey! I'm Tabi, I am new to this whole website but I am so happy to have found it! My hometown library recently added a Teen/YA section due to the books I have requested lol I never knew what to call this genre until the librarian showed me "my" section and I found this site lol I tend to get obsessed with whatever I am reading but I also tend to change genres completely. I always come back to YA though. I love dystopian, fantasy,(non-contemporary) romance and historical romance. My favorite authors are JK Rowling, V.C. Andrews and most recently Pierce Brown.

message 3134: by Storm (last edited Jun 03, 2014 05:51AM) (new)

Storm Arashi (stormarashi) | 265 comments Hello my name is Storm, I am eighteen years old and I'm a HUGE fan of the YA genre as a whole. I usually find more interesting things to read there then in the 'adult' book sections. (Honestly, I don't bother unless it's the mystery section of the local Half Price Books shop (anyone live near one? Place is blooming addicting) I recently read Ghost Hand and am onto book 2 Ghost Hold, I also am planning on reading Divergent...And finishing the twenty some books I got in the last few months. XD; I also write my own stories but they're mostly fanfictions for my friends on DeviantART and fanfiction.net to enjoy.

Also my favorite author (and hero) is Neal Shusterman, my favorite book of all time is Unwind and I also have an extreme hatred for the book The Angel of Death (just putting it out there. XD) My favorite genre's are horror, supernatural, adventure, fantasy and mystery.

Also I collect dolls and I honestly wish I could find a good YA book that has some creepy dolls in it. ^^


message 3135: by Vanna (new)

Vanna Smythe (VannaSmythe) | 2 comments Hi, I'm Vanna and I'm a reader and writer of fantasy, science fiction and YA Dystopian. My favorite series by far is Harry Potter, though I also really liked Hunger Games and sort of liked Divergent, both of which I read not long ago. I'm getting ready to read Legend now and I joined this group primarily to discuss those books with like-minded readers :)


message 3136: by NikhilTheReader (new)

NikhilTheReader Hey Everyone ! I am Nikhil from India (Punjab). I started with the self help genre but the booktube community (Jessethereader,Katyatastic,Ariel Bissett,Polandbananasbooks to name a few ) got me into reading the YA genre..and I've been gulping down YA since.
I AM A BOOK WARRIOR HERE TO SHARE MY LOVE FOR BOOKS. :)


message 3137: by C.T. (new)

C.T. Tunnell (CTTunnell) | 4 comments Hi everyone! I'm a self published author on Amazon going by the name C.T. Tunnell. My first name is Joshua, and I'm considering putting that in front of my initials, though I haven't decided yet. I read a lot of Fantasy and Sci-fi, and there's a bunch of those stories that fall into the YA category.

I've been a huge fan of Harry Potter since middle school. That would be my favorite YA series, and J.K. would be my favorite YA author. Though I'm reading through the Percy Jackson series at the moment, and it's an absolute blast! I hope to start on the Hunger Games in the fall so I can add it to the long list of books I've already started (I tend to get into more books than I can read in a reasonable amount of time). I'm just now getting into the community and haven't finished putting together my reading lists yet.

I spend a lot of my time writing, helping my parents, playing video games, and watching TV. But my friends can occasionally get me outside for some exercise. Though I'm not even close to keeping up with them physically, it doesn't keep me from trying! I've got three little yorkies who love people. They're really good company.

It's good to meet all of you :)


message 3138: by Carli (new)

Carli Rossi Hello! My name is Carla, I'm from Argentina and I started reading from an early age, captured by the Harry Potter series. I read both YA and non YA books and a love them just as much independently of the category they belong. So, my favorite books so far are The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger, the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling, the Sherlock Holmes series by Ser Arthur Connan Doyle, A Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin, The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins, Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen and it goes on and on....
I am currently reading Insurgent by Veronica Roth and so far I'm in love with the series.

message 3149: by Julianna (new)

Julianna (addictedreader1999) | 3 comments Hello my name is Julianna, and I have a passion for reading. Ever since I was a little girl I loved to read and to this day I still do. Books by Cassandra Claire and actually any other authors interest me. I'm not that much of a picky reader but the first chapter or first few sentences have to grip my attention in order for me to continue reading. I love mystery/ si-fy/ love triangles (who doesn't?)/ and tear jerkers (TFIOS).
