Sophie Lawton | 1 comments Hey, I'm Sophie! I live in London and LOVE to read! I was into YA when I was a teen, then dropped out for a few years, and now I am back! I read about two books a week, mostly e books and around half self published. Favourite YA books are The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater, The Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare and The Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Liani Taylor.

I also like to write and have a YA paranormal book marinating on my laptop! One day!

Nice to meet you all. I look forward to joining in the fun!

lisa kw (ladyxluan) Hey everyone, I'm Lisa. I live and go to school in Pennsylvania to get a degree in Accounting & Finance and I'm too obsessed with reading to function. I started joining groups here on Goodreads to find other people that read just as much as I do!

My favorite authors are Cassandra Clare (I'm infatuated with every book she's ever written), George R. R. Martin (GoT is my favorite thing in the world), and Wayne Thomas Batson.

I'm an aspiring writer and hope to have a few novels published sometime in my life. I write short stories and poetry.

Pleasure to meet everyone :)

message 3865: by Cynthia (new)

Cynthia (cindy_dryer) | 4 comments Hey guys! My name is Cynthia and I can always be found with a book within arms reach. My favorite series will always be Harry Potter because it was what made me fall in love with books in the first place. I'll read anything as long as its fiction and the length of the book does not matter, although books with humor are preferred because 'laughter is the spice of life'. I have no favorite author because i love them all (even if they are plotting the death of my favorite character).This group seems awesome and I'm looking forward to future discussions and fun stuff.

It would be nice to actually have friends that enjoy reading like me!


Bookish Shenanigans  (sbm1001) Hi everyone! I'm a literacy coach at an elementary school, so most of my time is spent reading, or helping kids as they're developing their love of reading. I like books more than people most days. I mostly listen to audiobooks because I can't sit still for too long without doing something with my hands, so I spend my free time crocheting while listening to a book. My current favorite authors are Robin Hobb, Brandon Sanderson, & Brandon Mull.


message 3887: by Nathalie (new)

Nathalie Feveile Hi, my name is Nathalie I have loved books ever since I was a kid. I have always loved YA, or I have loved it since I figured out what is was. My absolute favourite book is "The gargoyle" by Andrew Davidson, followed by so many more that it is hard to pick just a few. I loved the across the universe trilogy by Beth Revis, the shatter me trilogy by Tahereh Mafi, the newsflesh trilogy by Mira Grant, and anything by Scott Westerfeld. My favourite author has to be Cecelia Ahern, her books about love always lift my heart and makes it flutter. And Scott Westerfeld. :)

message 3890: by Tom (new)

Tom Lewis | 8 comments Hi, I’m Tom. I’m an entertainment attorney for my “day job,” and now an author. I love YA dystopian literature. Especially sci fi and post-apocalyptic. I first got into the genre when I had to negotiate movie rights to a best-selling novel for one of my clients. I read that book, and loved it, so I then read the Hunger Games trilogy. After that I was hooked. I have a bunch of authors I love at least one or two books from, and who have inspired my own writing, but at the top of the list would be Suzanne Collins, Stephen King, Veronica Roth, Rick Yancey, John Green, Carrie Ryan, Summer Lane, and read these two amazing books by Courtney Summers.

message 3895: by Kathleen (new)

Kathleen Ruddy (DrKathleenTRuddy) | 0 comments Hi, My name is Kathleen. And I love the simple energy of YA. It's pure, It's direct. The characters are complex. The motives a tight wet knot of emotional misunderstanding. But the stories ring true. Every time, and in overtime - long after the last word is read.

Adita ✨The Slumbering Insomniac✨ (aditaprithika) | 15 comments Hi, I am Adita Prithika. I am 21 years old and I live in Tirupur, India. I am a late bloomer in the book world, but I absolutely love reading.
YA is my 'favoritest genre' and since I started reading only recently, I became a little greedy and went on to collect a whopping 250 books, most of them YA. I am hoping to run out of books asap, sometime before 2015 ends. I have Harry Potter, Divergent, The Hunger Games and a dozen other series lined up, and I would be a liar if I said I don't know anything about Rowling, Veronica Roth and Suzanne Collins, Jennifer Armentrout's popularity. Happy to join everyone! :)
