Pamela Murdaugh-Smith (pamelamurdaugh-smith) Greetings!
My name is Pamela and I'm a Bookaholic!
I'm also a Biker, a Horse Lover, a Beach-brat and a new self-published author. Thank you for allowing me access to the group. Not too many genres that I'm not interested in, pretty much depends on my mood and what I can get my hands on. Although, I have to admit I have spent the last year writing and self-publishing, so reading was placed on the back-burner for a time. I am ready to publish book two in my Biker Saga fiction series and then I'm taking a break and picking up a good book to enjoy. Suggestions would be appreciated, I would like to find a few good reads to immerse myself in over the holidays. Fantasy and Sci-fi come to mind, but a good comedy would also be appreciated. Oh, and I'm partial to dragons too...what say you?

Read Often,
PMS


message 3503: by Claire (new)

Claire | 1 comments Hi I'm Claire. I adore all things YA and that's what I mostly read although I'm a huge fan of Stephen king too. My favourite books are all the Harry potter's Maze Runner Hunger Games and I'm currently sinking my teeth into the hush hush series which I'm loving so far. Feel free to send me a message or a friend's request happy reading everyone :)


message 3504: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (bookmarklit) Hello! My name's Lauren. I read mostly YA, some NA, and some adult. I have a blog here if you're interested!

It's definitely impossible to narrow down to one favorite author or book, but like most people I'd have to go with Harry Potter! Looking for Alaska is my favorite standalone, followed closely by The Perks of Being a Wallflower. John Green and Kate Brian are probably my top favorite authors.


message 3505: by Clara (new)

Clara | 2 comments Hi ! My name is Clara. :) I love reading YA books especially if they are fantasy or dystopian.

message 3507: by maria (new)

maria (molokovell0cet) Hello! My name is Maria! I feel like choosing one favourite book is very difficult so I'll go with my favourite book I've read so far this year which is The Alienist by Caleb Carr. Other honourable mentions are House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski and Dark Places by Gillian Flynn. Some of my favourite authors include: Gillian Flynn, Ellen Hopkins, John Green and Patrick Ness.


message 3508: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer Morse MS Phd Hi everyone,

Jennifer and I love reading YA novels so much we wrote our own novel in the present tense and featured late teen protagonists. It seems utilizing all the media possibilities in our marketing will be a challenge equal to the writing effort. Just reading your messages here in this group tells us we are at home in this genre.

William


message 3509: by Danielle (new)

Danielle (danismediacorner) | 2 comments Hi I'm Danielle! I can't really choose whcih book is my favorite, I have so many! But the books/series that I have enjoyed the most are Maximm Ride by James Patterson, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, The Maze Runner by James Dashner, and Divergent by Veronica Roth. There are probably many others that I can't think of at the moment as I type this. But I can say that James Patterson is definately my favorite author. I have read his Maximum Ride series, Witch & Wizard series, and his new confessions series. I am going to try to start a blog and a YouTube channel regarding books and other things related to them and things going on in my personal life. I'm glad to be joining this group to talk with others who enjoy the same genre of books as myself and lok forward to discussing things with everyone!

message 3511: by Ira (last edited Nov 24, 2014 05:44AM) (new)

Ira (goodreadscomirayasa) | 0 comments Hiya, My name is Ira. I'm 20 and a Forensic Science student! and like most of you here, I too love YA books. Mostly paranormal and epic fantasy sort of books, but I'm up for anything, really.

I just recently finished Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare. I absolutely fricking loved it, so I guess it is safe to say that Cassandra Clare is one of my favourite authors and with that TID and TMI are both my favourite series of all times. I just recently got back into my reading habit, so I yet have to explore and read more series which I'm sure I will love just as much.

PS: I'm also a huge J.K. Rowling fan! - who's not?^^

A little bit about myself.
-I'm from London.
-I love travelling - I've had the pleasure to visit 12 countries so far.
-I'm a polyglot.
-I love food.
-I am somewhat into anime.
-I love mountain climbing.

and..

I am a BOOK-A-HOLIC

That's all for now.


message 3513: by Vivian (new)

Vivian (jjeonggoodreadscom) | 3 comments Hi, my name is Jiwon. But call me Sarah. I'm from South Korea but I'm living here, Montreal Canada. I love Harry Potter and JK Rowling. They're my favourite books. They're the best. If you don't like Harry Potter, I don't know how you live off your life. They're beautiful.
After that, I love hunger games, divergent ( not allegent, no.), gone girl and anything to do with Stephen king. ( yeah, I love thriller) The fault in our stars I like, but got bored in other John Green books somehow. Currently I'm reading Misery by stephen king.
Note:
I have an addiction of collecting wrappers, movie tickets, pictures etc. I just throw them into a plastic jar. My jar of things.
Yes, I know. It's unusual.


message 3514: by Kerralee (new)

Kerralee Orr (nyrok5) | 2 comments Hello everyone! My name is Kerralee. I'm from Tasmania and I love to travel. I mostly read YA, some NA and a lot of Ancient Greek and Roman Plays.
Deciding a favourite book is definitely difficult but I would have to choose Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier, but after that it would probably be The Child Thief by Gerard Brom and the entire Anna and the French Kiss series. My favourite author is Kim Wilkins as I realised that I wanted to be an author after reading her Gina Champion series.
It's lovely to meet you all C:


message 3515: by Svea (new)

Svea (sveareads) Hi, I'm Svea! I'm 26 and I was born, raised & am still here in central Ontario, Canada. I consider myself to be a new "bookworm", although my love for reading is old.

I plan on using this group to discover new authors/titles I wouldn't find otherwise, and since YA fanfic is all I have been reading for over a year, I figured this is the place I should be. I look forward to interacting some more with you all. :)

message 3529: by Vivian (new)

Vivian (jjeonggoodreadscom) | 3 comments Hi, my name is Jiwon and my favourite books are Hunger Games, Harry Potter ( why not?), the fault in our stars and the outsiders by S.E Hinton. But really, I like any books that suits me. I started read twilight, and despite all the bad comments, I find it quite interesting, but I don't fancy the movie, or 'sparkling vampires'.
I really want to read beautiful creatures.
Ps: my hobby is collecting wrappers.

Nice! It seems like we like a lot of the same bands. One of my favorites has to be the Misfits. And I mean the Glenn Danzig Misfits. Not this new age Jerry stuff.

There are sometimes I wish I had a time machine to go back and see all these amazing bands from the 80's. I grew up listening to all that.
