Rachel (_sectumsemprah) Hello! I'm Rachel and I love all things young adult! My favourite author is J. K. Rowling (of course) but recently I've been really enjoying contemporary fiction. That said, I'm open to almost anything as long as the storyline is good!

message 4153: by Staci (new)

Staci (grimas95) Hello! I've never joined one of these group things before so I don't know how it's going to go, but I like YA books so I thought this would be a good place to start. I like a wide range of books but mostly fantasy. Some of my favorites are the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Meade and the Cirque Du Freak series by Darren Shan which are the two series that actually got me really into reading in the first place. Currently I'm reading Ensnared by A.G. Howard which is the third in the Splintered series and I'm enjoying it so far :)

D.B. Woodling | 21 comments Hi. I'm new to the group. My nickname is Sparky. The explanation is hilarious, but you-no doubt-have better things to read. To be totally transparent, I am an author and SynergEbooks has recently released my YA title, SLICES. I also write historical fiction and mystery thrillers. I am currently writing a YA paranormal. Although I'm new to the group, I can already relate to the energy and passion YA lit readers possess and find it very motivating!


message 4158: by Leslie (new)

Leslie Hauser (lhauser27) Hi! I'm Leslie. It's difficult for me to pick a favorite book because my favorite book always seems to be the last book I read! One book, though, that has stuck with me is Before I Fall, by Lauren Oliver. I have loved every Louise Rennison book and I'm always ready for a Sarah Dessen. I teach middle school English and history and my very own first YA book, Chasing Eveline, is due out at the end of October. Great to join the group!

Hi everyone! My name is Anna and I live in "sunny" England. I used to read a lot as a child but for some reason, (unknown to me), I stopped...no real reason, I just did. Now, I am at a stage of my life where I want to make reading a priority and I absolutely love what I have heard (on YouTube) and seen (on Goodreads) about the YA genre. I am really looking forward to getting to know you all.

message 4172: by Cate (new)

Cate Stephens (cstephens) Hi! My name is Cate. I live in TX and am currently working on my Master's Degree in the hopes of being a YA or Children's librarian. I always thought I wanted to be a YA librarian, but my current job is a children's assistant and they are just so darn cute. I am not sure what I what I want anymore, so we'll just see what happens. I, obviously, love to read. I mainly read YA, but I also love historical fiction, dystopian fiction and fantasy. My favorite book is The Giver, but I am also a huge Harry Potter fan. My favorite authors are Neil Gaiman, J.K. Rowling, and Patrick Ness.


message 4173: by [deleted user] (last edited Sep 06, 2015 08:23AM) (new)

Hello there! I am Arun from Lucknow, India. Currently preparing for Medical College. I am 17 year old so.. I love reading books and connecting to characters in them and connecting to other book readers. My favourite author is John Green. My favourite books are The Fault in Our Stars, An Abundance of Katherines along with I am also fond of fantasies like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson series. My favourite genres are YA Romance but I mostly prefer somewhat happy ending.


message 4174: by K (new)

K (ks1423) | 1 comments Hi all! I'm Kristin. I love to read, obviously! I've never been part of a book club or group before. I find it very difficult to read a book someone else has chosen. It doesn't mean I won't read the book in the future, I just have to be in the mood to read that book. Once I start reading a book I'll finish within 1-2 days. It is very hard for me to put a book down and pace myself. (I read 27 books this summer and my favorite one was Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard.) I grieve the endings of books... some to the point that I can't start reading another book for a while because I can't let go! Like, Clockwork Princess... #feelings!


message 4175: by Nikki (new)

Nikki  (chreenikki) | 1 comments Hi! I'm Nikki. I love reading YA books but I do love romantic comedy books from Sophie Kinsella and Meg Cabot a lot. There are a lot of authors out there that I really go crazy for. I like Divergent series, THG series, Sweet Valley High and others! They are just too many to mention!
I also dig a few old books like Daddy Long Legs, Dear Enemy, Wuthering Heights and others.

Hope I have a few friends here to talk to :)
XO

message 4187: by Kim (new)

Kim Trusty Hey, I'm Kim. I'm a former secondary school teacher, who lived and taught in the UK (Birmingham to be exact) for a really long time but now I'm back home in Toronto, Canada. My interest in YA began when I was a writer in residence in various English schools (always good to know what the kids are reading) and then intensified when I began teaching English language & literature full-time: I really wanted to ensure that my pupils were reading really well-written works alongside the more popular fare.

Some of my favourite authors are: Sherman Alexie, Laurie Halse Anderson, Cassandra Clare, Sarah Dessen, John Green, Jandy Nelson, Kenneth Oppel, Eric Walters, Rainbow Rowell and Andrew Smith. Recently, I have really enjoyed Rachel Hartman's "Seraphina", Maya Banks's "Joyride" and Michelle Levy's "Not After Everything". I'm looking forward to reading some of the group's favourites!

I am 79 years old, but my husband and I would rather read young adult fantasy that has clean romance, tidbits of useful knowledge, magic, and also uplifting. Right now we're reading a series of books by Duncan Pile and his "Nature Mage" series. Right down our alley.

A.R. Cook (arcook) | 1 comments Hi everyone, I'm dipping my toes into the waters here, and thought I'd say hello.
My name's Al, but A.R. is fine too. I see there are a lot of fans of YA Fantasy in particular here, which is my favorite (and not just because I write it). Huge fan of Neil Gaiman, Rick Riordan, Terry Brooks, Shawn Hutchinson, Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, to name a few. Also just recently got acquainted with Terry Pratchett's work, I don't know why it took me so long!
Hope to get to know you all better and learn more about this forum.

I pretty much solely read YA and currently the genre I'm really into Fantasy, but I change favorite genres quite a bit... I go through current favorite genre phases...

I'd love to get to know you guys, acquire even more "want to read" books, and share my love of books!
