message 4751: by Brittney (new)

Brittney Arena (reverieandink) I'm Britt and I'm obviously a YA fangirl despite being in my 20s. Pfft, no judging ;) Fantasy is my weakness... especially if there is a great villain or antihero.

I love meeting fellow book junkies so feel free to add me. I'm also a new blogger... and I'd also love to meet other bloggers/bookstagramers.. so lets be friends if you feel the same!

Bonny De Jaeghere (bogly) | 2 comments Hi everyone, my name's Bonny. 23years old. I'm from Belgium so I'm a bit behind on the young adult books. For instance I've only just started All the bright places haha. So recommendationa are more than welcome. The book that started it all was The graveyard book by Neil Gaiman. He was the only author I read for a whole year, so eventually he became my favorite author. John Green joined that shelf when I was about 18 :). Looking forward to meeting new people

Kamrin (kameroni) | 8 comments Hi I'm Kamrin! I'm pursuing a degree in medicine and plan to specialize in clinical pediatrics. I've always loved to read but when I hit middle school I started reading more and more because I didn't have a lot of friends. When I hit high school I started making more friends but still hung on to reading. Today I love fantasy romance and dystopian novels. I honestly can't pinpoint my absolute favorite book because I have so many! Im about to to turn 18 and I can't wait for the future that will come!

My favourite author, hands down, is Cassandra Clare! I also enjoy photography (taking photos of books is ultimate perfection) and the dream one day is to become an author myself. Just finished all my Year 11 exams (Yeah, I'm English but I hate tea) and now looking forward to a long summer of reading, just waiting for Results day in August. Just moved to a new city and looking forward to new friends and new beginnings!

message 4763: by A.M. (new)

A.M. Albaugh Hello! I'm a new author and it has been my dream since I was little to write a book. I enjoy many genres, but I chose YA fantasy (I think because my mom read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings to us as kids before falling asleep each night).
I am looking for a few good readers who are interested in YA fantasy and would like to receive a free eBook copy of my debut novel for review. Please let me know if you are interested, I would love to hear your feedback!

My book is called Grim Nora and the Secret of the Skull (13 and up):

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

If you decide to purchase a copy, it is available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Lulu in print and eBook.

Thank you! Looking forward to hearing from you!


message 4764: by Peter (new)

Peter Gulgowski (petergulgowski) Hey readers, I'm Peter Gulgowski, the author of the dystopian, 'The Government.' Having been a die-hard lover of dystopian novels, it only made sense to write one myself. Several years in the making and I have published, 'The Government.' Hoping you can all check it out, and I hope it becomes a favorite for many of you! It's currently for sale on Amazon for $3.99 and with KindleUnlimited, you can read it for free--and who doesn't like free? As for the group, my favorite book fluctuates so often, but I really am a Harry Potter fan for life.

The Government by Peter Gulgowski

I am Mehsi, and I have been looking around for a new YA group to join, and this one seems like a really fun one. :)
Since I joined, I guess it is easy to deduce that I love YA, but of course I also read other stuff that isn't YA. I love finding new books, and also new genres to enjoy and read.
My favourite book of all time would be Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell.
I got a whole bunch of favourite authors: Morgan Matson, Hillary Monahan, Lemony Snicket, Terry Pratchett, Louise Rennison, Sarah Dessen, and many more.

I will soon look through the topics a bit more closely, and can't wait to participate in various things. :)

As for my favourite books, I have many: Harry Potter series, Born To Run (Chris MacDougall), In Defense of Food (Michael Pollan), Jemima J (Jane Green), and Saint Anything (Sarah Dessen). I have just discovered Kasie West and just ploughed through 3 of her books this weekend so another new favourite author which is very exciting.


message 4795: by caroline (new)

caroline | 1 comments Hi, I'm Caroline! I made a Goodreads account a few years ago, but I never knew how to utilize it (and I'm still figuring it out right now, oops) until maybe this year.

My favorite book (as of this very moment, anyways) is The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It's very cliche, I know, but I can't part with it. It's either that or Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell; that being said, Rainbow Rowell is unashamedly my favorite author, as well as Sarah J. Maas and Jane Austen.


message 4796: by Luana (new)

Luana | 1 comments Hi, I'm Luana, 21 years old. I'm from Brazil and new to Goodreads. I have a relationship of love and hate with YA. As weird as it sounds, it is by far my favourite genre. I always come back for another YA book. I just read An Ember in the Ashes a few weeks ago and totally loved it! So that is my favourite book at the moment. I'm bad with authors' names, but right now I'm into fantasy YA :)
