Young Adult Book Reading Challenges discussion

My name is Jasmine, My goal is to read 7-8 books a week if not at least +50% by the week of each book. Obviously I can read more than one book at a time and keep track. I am quiet so if I don't talk much sorry, I'm always listening. I do enjoy Video Games but no what you think. I prefer Horror and Simulation games, I also LOVE Scary, Horror, and Terrible Movies. I do view my religion differently from others and unless I know you're not going chop my head off, I won't tell you. I love to write but I suck at grammar and spelling.

I have a pitbull name stewie cause he has a huge head... I don't know what else to say, I love all colours. I speak German and French but English is my first language.

Favorite Books ATM: The Selection, Hush Hush, City of Bones, MAZE RUNNER, and Cirque du Freak.

Hello all! I just found this group and am quite intrigued. I would have to say that Twilight is what sucked me into YA books- before that I would only read true crime, so I've climbed out of my comfort box.

My name is Julie and I am an adult (36) addicted to YA. I am also a writer and I like to write in the YA genre, so it makes sense that I read a lot of it. I am addicted to high fantasy but urban fantasy, fantasy, magical realism, and even sci-fi are great, too. I don't get into the contemporary much but I'm starting slowly. I started a booktube channel about 2 months ago and that's opened my eyes to a lot of new books and authors so I'm exploring the YA genre a lot frequently these days. I cannot wait to connect with more YA readers.

I got a question, Sam. You said you were still in school. What kind of school?

Recently I started a website to share my reviews, thoughts and other bookish posts with the world and other book lovers. You can see a link to the website in my bio. Recommendations for new books would be great, chatting about new or old books is fun and I love sharing my thoughts about them. Nice to meet you all!

Hi, My name is Judith and I'm (gulp) 71. I've been reading YA books all my life. In fact I got fired from my first job as a copy editor for a NYC publisher for hanging out in their children's library instead of working at my desk. Back in those days there was no YA category, but the books were still there.

I'm excited to join the group and look forward to reading more books. Recommendations, please.

Hi... I'm Dahlia Karlin, an author, musician and definitely way over any age that might be considered a teen. I love reading YA because I'm very interested in stories about teens that deal with some sort of struggle. My interest comes from personal experience with one of my children.

HI all. My name is Gideon. I am a nurse and a writer. My wife and I are expecting twins and this group will help me find some meaningful books to read them.

Hoping to narrow down the must reads of MG and YA.
