Kaley (kaleymbeck) | 2 comments Hey! I'm Kaley. This is the first group I've joined since making this account. (I used to have one a couple of years ago.) Anyways, I absolutely love to read. So many favorites, but I really love The Infernal Devices, The Mortal Instruments, The Chemical Garden Trilogy, and the Shatter Me series. My favorite author would have to be either Ellen Hopkins or Cassandra Clare. Happy to be here. :-)

Daniel Haight | 7 comments Hello, all - thanks for letting me join Addicted to YA! :)

Let me tell you a bit about myself: I'm a rabid fan of YA fiction and have been since I was young. In fact, I love it so much that I've been writing it since 2008.

My love of fiction came together to form a Transformer-like structure of passion to become a full-time creative professional. I go into more detail here but I think you can understand why I'd want to take something I'm passionate about and turn it into a full-time job! :)


Aside from my own stuff, I love YA stories like The Fault in Our Stars and Wool. I love dystopia and cyberpunk, too ... books like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? In fact - one of my prized possessions is my original Blade Runner one-sheet that I have hanging in my office. It collects all of my Comic-Con contribution tags (http://i.imgur.com/oZL9d5Ul.jpg).

Thanks for having me here - I look forward to getting to know all of you! :)

Best wishes,
Dan H.

BEBE (beebee12) | 22 comments Hi guys! I'm Balbina and I am a book blogger as well! My blog is https://butfirstbooks98.wordpress.com.

As with favorite books? Currently, I really love the Legend trilogy, Aristotle and Dante discover the Secrets of the Universe, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Doghead, The Importance of Being Earnest, Paper Towns, Roses, Okay for Now, and Wool. Some of my favorite authors include John Green, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, and Marie Lu.

Of course, that doesn't mean I'm subjected to only those kinds of books above and only those authors because I will practically read just about any book in any genre. :)


message 3816: by Sophia (new)

Sophia (evri) Hi, my name is Sophia. I love to read all kinds of books but my favourite genre has to be YA. I don't have any favourites but I have recently enjoyed reading Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood, The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter and Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins.

Angel Sloop | 4 comments Hi I'm Angel, I love many books but if I had to choose it would be in between Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa and If I stay by Gayle Forman. My favorite author would be Lauren Kate I love her fallen series and her book teardrop.

Throne of Glass series if you haven't already read it or The Final Empire - which is INCREDIBLE

Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1) by Sarah J. Maas

Mistborn The Final Empire (Mistborn, #1) by Brandon Sanderson


message 3822: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin V (books_and_boba) Hi Angel and Cora! Cora- If you want a realistic-fiction I would suggest Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. Made my heart melt I'm so not afraid to say I cried haha. Or the Lunar Chronicles for a sci-fi. And the Infernal Devices for fantasy. Haha there's a lot xD

Hi Caitlin! Thank you for the book suggestions! I've read all but the Lunar Chronicles, which I have recently just started. Me Before You made me cry too.:)

message 3825: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin V (books_and_boba) Omg Me Before You ahhhhhhh I need the second one! And lunar chronicles and throne of glass are both so amazing


message 3826: by Cora (new)

Cora Graham (coragraham) | 18 comments Colleen Hoover has quickly become my favorite YA author. I've been itching to check out NEVER NEVER. However, my disappointment at it being not only short in length, but part of a series in which I will have to wait impatiently for the sequel has kept me from buying it.

Thoughts from those that have read it?? Worth it?? Should I give in and buy now or wait....


message 3827: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin V (books_and_boba) I loved Never, Never! But I also know some people that said it wasn't her best. I wouldn't know because never, Never was the first book I've read by her. After that, I started reading more and I love her writing too!

Cynthia (fullycyn) | 26 comments Hi everyone! My name is Cynthia and I enjoy reading books as well as reviewing them. I love romance books, so any genre is fine with me as long as romance is involved ;). My fave would be too many to mention here but The Last Time We Say Goodbye by Cynthia Hand is the one I have in mind lately.

message 3840: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin V (books_and_boba) Hey Cat! And I totally agree, there are too many to name and too many to have a favorite! XD


message 3841: by Kate (new)

Kate Lattey (nzponywriter) Hi, I'm Kate and I live in New Zealand. I read and write plenty of YA (despite not quite being in the age bracket anymore!). When I'm not writing, I'm riding my horse and running the local Pony Club, and working my office job (not quite as much fun as writing and riding).

I have 3 YA books published on Kindle, with another one due out next month and a fifth by the end of the year - if I can find the time to get them finished!


message 3842: by Tom (new)

Tom Lewis | 8 comments Hey, I’m Tom. I work as an entertainment attorney for my day job, negotiating and drafting contracts for films. I got turned on to YA dystopian fiction when I had to negotiate the film rights for a novel my client was producing. After that I was hooked. I enjoy screenwriting (I’ve had several scripts optioned), and I’m adapting one of them into a YA sci fi action novel (it’ll be my first). Favorite book series hands down was “The Hunger Games.” “Divergent” was also a great read, along with tons more.


message 3843: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin V (books_and_boba) Hi Kate and Tom :) You both sound like you hold interesting lives! Welcome to the group, always good to have more people here! Hope you like it <3
