message 4601: by Marie Silk (new)

Marie Silk Hello, I am Marie. I grew up in a strict religious household that did not allow me to read fantasy and paranormal books; anything with magic was pretty much forbidden back then. Now that I am older I understand the appeal! I am too creeped out by anything zombie, though. And I love reading and writing YA. I used to write mainly comedy and adventure as short stories, but when I sat down to write my first novel, what came out on the pages had a lot more inner conflict of the YA variety than I expected. My books are a historical fiction/psychological fiction series that will soon be available in the author folder. I am new to goodreads (feel like I found the gold at the end of the rainbow that this website exists) and would love to make friends, so feel free to friend me! Nice to meet everyone!


message 4602: by Josie (new)

Josie I'm Josie, I LOVE the Percy Jackson series (both of them!), the Mortal Instruments, the Infernal Devices, and I'm planning on reading the Bane Chronicles :) I love paranormal books, I also like to read manga although I'm just getting into it. I almost always have a book with me! I once went a long time without a book and it was the worst time of my life! I seriously didn't know what to do with myself and just felt life there was this huge gaping hole in me.


message 4603: by Isabella (new)

Isabella Hi!
My name is Isabella, I love reading. For me its a good way to escape, and i love 'living' in a different world for awhile.
Some of my favorite authors are Uncle Rick, Veronica Roth, Carol Goodman, Krestly Cole......( hopefully this list never ends)....
Favorite books, oh gosh it grows everyday. The Divergent series (even with all the deaths), Obsidian, Thirteen Days to Midnight, The Arcana Chronicles, Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, The Maze Runner, Throne of glass...

Anyway, some of my favorite YA books are Unwind, The Scorpio Races, The Book Thief, Six of Crows, Ship Breaker, and so many more....I'm so lucky to say that my own YA is coming out next year and I'm exciting for the years to come!

message 4612: by Abigail (new)

Abigail (reeyabeegale) Hellooo, from the other side! LOL. ---That was funnier in my head. :)

My name's Rave, I am severely terrified of balloons and I have a book hoarding/book buying problem. LOL. (Who doesn't). Apparently, I also like second voices, the ones enclosed with parentheses. :)

I have too many favorite books to mention! I am still obsessed and hung up on Jennifer Niven's All The Bright Places, since I read it this January. My favorite genre is YA GenFic because I can easily relate or apply it to my everyday life. :)

I keep a book blog (which I just revamped), www.raveintotheabyss.wordpress.com
And a bookstagram: @reeyuhbeegale

I hope to make everyone's acquaintance! :) Have a great week ahead!

Lol, I would have to agree! I am a transplant from St. Louis, we have been here for 3 1/2 years and I love it, its so cute and quaint, always some fun festival including burger, bacon and wing fests HaHa its a smaller town than what I am used to and sooo many people here are outdoorsy that it can be intimidating sometimes. I work for Roanoke County Libraries so any time you are in town you should stop by, especially since you are a local author, it would be fun to get you involved with some of the stuff we do!!

Rachel Malcolm (RachelMalcolm) | 11 comments Hi, I'm Rachel. I live in northern BC, Canada in the middle of 85 acres with my six wild and wonderful kids.

I read out loud to my kids almost every night. We've consumed hundreds of books together--from The Little House on the Prairie books to The Lord of the Rings series.

Some of my favourite books are Ender's Game, Divergent, and The Giver. I'm currently reading The Book Thief.

Young adult is by far my favourite genre, and reading all those YA novels just naturally led to writing them.

My novel One Act of Defiance has won some awards, and I'm currently looking for an agent. It's an awesome and terrifying journey! My novel is about a young midwife of the future who risks her life on a quest for freedom.

My website is rachelmalcolmbooks.com if you feel like checking it out.

Cheers!

Luciana Correa (lucorreaauthor) | 7 comments Hey Guys,
I'm Luciana. I'm totally guilty of prejudice because I'm a fan of Rick Riordan and in my opinion Nobody beats him. I just love how his characters grew up with his readers. It's like being friends with each of them. I love it.
I came back because I forgot to mention I'm a writer and I wouldn't like you thought I was hiding it. It's simply because Im not joining the group as a writer. I'm a reader since I was seven. Becoming a writer was a consequence. I do believe some writers will come out of this group. =)

message 4641: by Kate G (last edited Apr 01, 2016 12:29AM) (new)

Kate G | 2 comments Hi! Im Kate, 23, Australian and I've been reading for as long as I can remember. I write fanfic and original fiction, listen to the Hamilton soundtrack on repeat, and read a lot. Considering the borrow limit here is 50, I've got some variety when it comes to YA.

My favourite book series in YA is probably House of Night, but I read anything paranormal, and I'm addicted to adult thrillers as well, and manga.

(And by as long as I can remember, I mean I used to fall asleep in bed while reading so Mum'd have to come in and lift the book off my face afterwards.)


message 4642: by Dean (new)

Dean | 2 comments Hello! I'm Dean, an American and I've been reading since the age of around 3. I try to write, but I am not great at it. My favorite series in YA is the Morpheus Road series, but I'll read literally anything. No joke, trashy romance, Lovecraft, anything.


message 4643: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin (fynch_fandoms) | 1 comments Hi! I'm Caitlin. I read a lot and if I'm not doing that then I will be watching Netflix, crafting, writing, obsessing over some new fandom, sleeping or eating (chocolate preferably). Most people probably see me as a strange, pretentious nerd but apart from that... well there isn't much else to tell, really. Just kidding- there is tons more that i cant be bothered writing for the time being.
