Jake | 2 comments Hello my name is Jake, I am an avid reader. I love YA books as well as many other genres. I been a member of Shelfari for years but my groups have slowly vanished so I thought I would make the move here.

Temima | 1 comments Hi,

I'm Temima, I'm sixteen years old and I'm from Australia and Bosnia. My favorite book genre is dystopian fiction although I read books of all genres. I'm new to Goodreads, (made an account last night) and I'm still trying to figure out how some things work. Could someone please tell me how to delete a book update? I'm still confused by what that is but I accidentally posted something and can't seem to get it off.

Thanks :)

Maggie (magzilla07) | 2 comments Hi there! My name is Maggie, and I joined this group a few days ago, but was waiting for the turn of the month to post, so that I could start with the BOTM with you all! I'm 24, from Georgia, USA, and love to read.

However, lately, I've been reading a lot. I took a break from reading for a while--mainly cause I just didn't feel like it. But now, I'm back in the game and reading like a madman!

I don't have just one favorite author, but I'll keep my list short:
Dean Koontz, William Bernhardt, J.R.R. Tolkien, John Flanagan, John Greene, Wilson Rawls, Cassandra Clare, etc.

I will be getting the books for August's BOTM, and I look forward to reading and discussing them with you! :D


message 3305: by Devon (new)

Devon Tabor My name is Devon. I love YA books, I don't currently have a favorite author, per se... but my current favorite book is Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell. I am currently reading We Were Liars. :)


message 3306: by Ecaaa (new)

Ecaaa EC (borahae08) | 3 comments Hi! I'm Erica and I love reading, of course, or I wouldn't be here. My all time favourite book is The Fault in our Stars by John Green. However, I just finished reading Flat-Out Celeste by Jessica Park and I thought it was beautifully written with beautiful characters as well that made me laugh and cry. So understandably, it became my favourite along with TFIOS. It is highly recommended although of course Flat-Out Love should be read first. I loved Flat-Out Love but as much as I loved Flat-Out Celeste.

message 3316: by Sarah Nichole (new)

Sarah Nichole (sarahnichole715) Hey everyone! My name is Sarah and this is the first group I have ever really joined, but it really interested me and I can't wait to get to know everyone and finally have people to discuss my books with! My favorite authors would be Sarah Dessen and Sara Shepard (and no it's not because they are both named Sarah :P) I also enjoy J.K. Rowling as well. I am really hoping to expand my horizons in the YA category.


message 3317: by Paige (new)

Paige Hi my name is Paige. I have been on Goodreads for a little bit but have been to shy to join any groups but I thought I should expand my horizons! I don't think I can choose 1 fav book but some of them are the Harry Potter series and the Mara Dyer books! Some of my fav authors are Cassandra Claire and John Green ( I feel like at this point JK Rowling doesn't need to be mentioned it's just assumed but her to!)


message 3318: by Jonathan (new)

Jonathan Nace | 5 comments Hi everyone,

I'm Jonathan (Jon), and I'm a reader and one time novelist. I really enjoy quite a bit of YA. Recently, I think I fell in love with the hunger games trilogy, which I could not put down.

Like a lot of us, next on my list is Divergent, though my expectations have already been tempered by everyone telling me "its not as good as the hunger games." Oh well, why would it be.

Still, I'd love to hear more about YA here, especially thriller and/or suspense that has some type of small sci-fi component to it and less "magical" or "fantasy" component.


message 3319: by Karen (new)

Karen Lynn Hey, I'm Karen and love reading many genres but YA is my favorite even though I'm 39! My recent favorite series have been Watersong, Hereafter, and Trylle. I am currently reading Where She Went by Gayle Forman. I'm super excited about joining the group!!!

Angiie, yes I read the whole series and LOVED it! It was so different from anything else I've read. You would like the Trylle series. The first title is Switched. Check it out!


message 3322: by Renae (new)

Renae (rrb101) Hello! My name is Renae and I am new to GoodReads.
I have been reading all my life, thanks to the Queen JK. Rowling. I actually read Harry Potter when I was six. So, I was really young (..not that I actually understood what i was reading).
I really want to read more consistently, and delve deeper into the YA genre. I'd say that my favourite book right now (excluding Harry Potter) is Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. I am really loving all of her books. I have read all of them except Landline but I do have my copy ready to go. I'd say she is also my favourite author too.
Nice to meet you all!

Liv (livviekate) | 8 comments Hey, my name's Livvie (: and yeah... have a great day


message 3324: by Corinne (new)

Corinne (coriegregs) Hello! My name is Corinne. I love reading and, in fact, I work at Barnes & Noble. I wouldn't say that I have a favorite book, because that would just be too hard to choose, but I would say two of my favorites are The Host by Stephenie Meyer (despite her Twlight series, The Host is actually really great) and another favorite is A Million Little Pieces by James Frey-which is pretty heavy on content, but a great read. Some other authors I enjoy are Jodi Piccoult, Sara Dessen, Ellen Hopkins and, of course, John Green.
It's lovely to be here!


Bianca (readerbia on BookTok) (readerbia) Hey Anastasia! We have the same interests!

message 3328: by Eva-Lotta (new)

Eva-Lotta Hi, my name is Eva and I'm just a girl who reads too much! Currently I like to read more sci-fi and fantasy but i also enjoy romance and stuff like that. So yeah, I basically read everything. Some my all time favourites are Harry Potter(what a surprise), Vampire Academy, Anna and the French kiss series and The Infernal Devices! It's hard to say who's my favourite author is because it depends on my mood and the weather and so many other things:)
Happy to be joining this group!!!

message 3332: by Tyler (new)

Tyler Watkins (tilurwatki) | 4 comments Hey everyone! Hope everyone is well. My name is Tyler and to be quite honest, I write far more than I read. However, I enjoy a good book. Other than literary hobbies, I enjoy being outdoors. I'm usually running or just relaxing in nature. I'm a huge animal lover and have been a vegetarian for nearly 6 years. Hope to get to know some of you and talk about our interests!
Book wise, I like fiction... More specifically, fantasy and sic-fi.

As I mentioned before, I am a writer and have only recently published my first book, Luptator. It'd mean the world to me if you guys checked it out!

And I’d like to invite everyone to check this novel for your daughter, yourself or any other young girl in your family. The book has received 4.1 STARS [based on the average of 11 reviews in the US. I especially love the wonderful 4 STAR review it has received from a MALE !!!

message 3349: by Brittany (new)

Brittany E. (brittanymariereads) Hi! I'm Brittany and like the rest of you, I absolutely love reading. There aren't really any genres I don't enjoy, but YA is always my go-to. I don't have a very favorite book but recently I have been into Divergent, Hunger Games, Maze Runner, Mortal Instruments, Beautiful Creatures, Vampire Academy, and anything by John Green. If Hollywood wants to make a bad movie out of it, I've probably read it. I'm constantly looking for new books to read, so if anyone has any suggestions, or wants to add me as a friend on here (so I can check out what everyone is reading!) then please do!


message 3350: by Keegan (new)

Keegan Sutherland (justmekee) | 2 comments Hello all. I'm Keegan. I don't know if I could pick a favorite book or author! I just love to read. I like "real" books over e-books, but I like that I can get free books on my kindle. The book section is the 1st section I go to when going to thrift stores. I got started with my love for books with the Babysitters Club Little Sister books, which I still have. I also enjoy photography.
