Dev (devann) Hey, I'm Dev! I'm 23 and a YA freak.
I don't have any ABSOLUTE FAVORITE books, but rather a group that sort of just "stick with me."
Inkheart by Cornelia Funke is one of those. I'm not sure what it is, but it's my go-to comfort book.
As for authors, J.K. Rowling will always have a place in my heart, along with Jane Austen and Stephen King.

Lucy Coats Hello! I'm Lucy. I write books for all ages (incl YA), but I've been a reading fanatic all my life. I LOVE YA (especially UKYA) and fantasy of all kinds, and my favourite authors are Robin McKinley, Ursula le Guin, Diana Wynne Jones, JRR Tolkien, JK Rowling, David Almond, Sarah J Maas, Laini Taylor and Leigh Bardugo. My favourite book of all time has to be Lord of the Rings (sorry, but it's true), closely followed by Robin McKinley's Beauty and Rose Daughter.


message 3659: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (4bakergirls) I'm Michelle. I love YA even though I am thirty something :) My favorite book of all time is a toss up between John Berendt's "Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil," "Wuthering Heights," and Marion Zimmer Bradley's "The Mists of Avalon." I currently have about 100 books in my TBR pile... just finished The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater and am about to start book #2!


message 3660: by Kailee (new)

Kailee (kaileesee) Hey everyone! I'm Kailee and I'm 23 :)
I'm going to be super cliche here and say that the Harry Potter series is my favorite book. I could read those books every single year if I didn't have a huge pile of books to get through!! But once the new fully illustrated versions come out, I will definitely have to reread them!


message 3661: by Mysti (new)

Mysti (tri21x2) | 1 comments Hi, my name is Mysti! I have just recently come to love YA books and am now searching for more to ad to my TBR list. I also read dystopian, horror, thrillers and some PNR (I used to read almost all PNR but really burned myself out with it) and I seek out series more so than stand alone novels. I read mostly indie and small publishing house authors. I am super excited to have found this group!


message 3662: by Deborah (new)

Deborah Ann | 109 comments Hello! I've been away from the group for a bit so thought I would say hello and reintroduce myself again.

My name is Deborah Ann, and I am an indie author. I fell in love with YA books while reading with my 2 kids, and that refueled my love for all books. My YA romance books are 'Destiny' & 'Fate's Path' bk1 & bk2 in 'The Destiny Series'. I also have two Adult Contemporary romance books. I am happy to meet all of you, and I hope to see you around in the group activities! Happy reading! :)


message 3663: by Thais (new)

Thais Hey I'm Thais, 29yo and from Brazil. Although my mother tongue is Portuguese, I only read books in English because I feel like translated books always lose some of the magic the authors have written.
My fave genre is YA, mostly contemporary but I do love some fantasy/dystopian books. My current favorites are Lola and The Boy Next Door, Aristotle and Dante(...), The Hunger Games series and Fangirl.


message 3664: by Aiden (new)

message 3668: by Krista (new)

Krista (kristap13) Hi! my name is Krista, I'm a complete fiction addict and YA is my go to for new, exciting fantasy novels. I don't really read anything outside of Sci-fi, Fantasy, and Historical Fiction, though I've tried. I'm looking forward to discussing the YA books, as no one I know even reads, let alone discusses books. I have a huge collection of books and I continue to add to that collection for my daughters. I'm part of the Rowling generation, and grew up reading and waiting for the Harry Potters to release. I just recently finished the Throne of Glass series and I'm starting on Divergent as soon as I finish Sword of truth. I'm an incredibly fast reader and can usually read a 1000 page book in 3 days or less. I could never choose an all time favorite, but I guess my love of books started with Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.


message 3669: by J (new)

J Wow, Krista, being able to read a 1,000 page book in 3 days or less is very impressive!


message 3670: by Emily (new)

Emily Taylor (taylorink) Hey!

Name (well, penname) is Emily Taylor-- you can call me either of those, I answer to both :)

I'm currently addicted to the Outlander book series (and of course TV show!) and the last YA book I read was the Alice in Zombieland trilogy which I throughly enjoyed.

Hoping to make some new friends, so hi :)

Christy Deveaux Wicka The Chronicles of Elizabeth Blake by Christy Deveaux Hi. My name is Christy Deveaux and I write YA books, The Chronicles of Elizabeth Blake series. I released the first book, Wicka, last spring. I find my inspirations for Elizabeth Black stories in my travels. I was lucky enough to travel across Europe solo at a young age, and have only continued my adventures in travel. I majored in political science and earned a cross-disciplinary degree from the University of Western Ontario. Oh, and I have a fish named Cow.

message 3695: by Tee (new)

message 3696: by Carla (new)

Carla Munro (camunro) | 1 comments Hey fellow lovers of all things right and good in the world!

I'm Carla and I live in Wanaka new Zealand - which for those of you who are LOTR and Hobbit fans, is where a lot of these films were shot! yep, I actually live in Middle Earth - literally!! ; ) Yay!

So I also have a job as the media executive here and my 'official title on my business card' is "The Word Wizard"! No kidding! It really is! Man, when I saw the job called for a "Word Wizard" I was like, me, me, me, that's MY job! And now it is! Which means I get to show people around my favourite place in the world, usually in helicopters and other things that fly. So, yeah I have a pretty great life! BUT the one thing that would make it totally awesome would be if people read my first novel and liked it enough to tell other people! How COOL would that be?? Anyway, if you've ever dreamed of being a writer and having someone love your work, give a little love to:

The Nereid (The Morningstar Wars Book 1) by Carla Munro

THANKS! See you out there!!

Carla


message 3697: by Bella (new)

Bella | 1 comments Hi Everyone,
I'm a stay at home mom of three; we homeschool two and the oldest is in college. I love reading- my GR challenge goal is 400 and I own about 10,000 books plus another 2,000 or so books my husband just found that were for my classroom library. (I taught elementary and middle school.) Of those 12,000+ books, I've read all but a few hundred.

I'm an aspiring writer. I finished my first book (MG) last year and am currently working on a YA novel. (I hope this isn't spam, because I have nothing to promote. I'm not even at the stage where I'm sending the book out to agents.)
