Addicted to YA discussion

I love books, especially young adult books although i am very much an adult, an older one at that. The Twilight books and Hunger Games series got me started in Young adult books, but my interest has taken off from there. I love the Infernal Devices boooks, Divergent, Thirteen Reasons Why just to name a few. I look forward to chatting with you all.

Hi, I'm Heidi. I love reading and always have a book with me. I have really gotten into YA recently and am always looking for new titles. I have gotten a lot of great ideas from reading your posts. I love Stephenie Meyers, Tamora Pierce, Claudia Gray, Cassandra Clare, but I think that my favorite author right now is Julie Kagawa. I absolutely love her Iron Fey series!! I enjoyed reading the Harry Potters series. I am attempting to read the Hunger Games right now. I have the Inheritance series, but have only read Eragon so far. I love some of the classic YA like L.M. Montgomery, Louisa May Alcott, and Johanna Spiri. I also read romance and classics like Gone with the Wind.

Hi Im liz, Im 23 so I may be a little too old for this genre but I really dont care, I love teen chick lit particularly Pretty Little liars and the hes so/shes so trilogy, if anyof you have any reccomendations for me let me know

Hai! I'm Reina. I love books, namely the Harry Potter Series. The genres I like are Paranormal romance, mystery, and dark fantasy.

I'm looking forward to meet new friends! :) xx

Hi, my name is Sara. I love to read, and also write. I've been reading a lot of young adult fiction lately because it is what I am most interested in writing. I just started reading The Hunger Games today. I recently finished the Vampire Academy series, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I would have to say that J. K. Rowling is my favorite author of young adult fiction. I have read the Harry Potter series countless times and I love it.

Hi, I create free YA audiobooks and short audio ficlets. My newest one, Angel, is a paranormal romance. I'm new to GoodReads and hope to meet some YA readers and writers.

Hi, Kayla. I'm interested in your YouTube channel. That's where I put my audiobooks.

Hello all! My name is Lara and I am very new to this website. I recently have started to get into reading again and am addicted to YA books. I was actually just talking to a fellow co-worker about it. I may be a little old for them, but they are just so entertaining!

Hi, I'm April. Even though I'm turning 21 next month, I'm addicted to YA novels. I have been reading them since I was old enough to comprehend them (about 11). I'm always looking for new ones to read.

Fave YA novel is "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson :)

I'm not really new to this group but I haven't been very active.
I've often been told off by many people that I read too much. Guilty!
Live in Australia right now. Been in NZ for 9 years though.

My favourite books/series are the Harry Potters series, The Mediator Series by Meg Cabot, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Lion Boy series, Matilda, Artemis Fowl series... and more.

My favourite authors are J.K Rowling, Roald Dahl, Meg Cabot and Eoin Colfer. They're all amazing. Others I relaly love as well

Aha, the intro page. I love YA. I struggle with anything else. I also love oatmeal with lots of butter and brown sugar, have four kids, and adore Breyers chocolate ice cream with Oreos.

Hey I'm Christina. I have so many different books I like. Some of my favorite authors are Suzanne Collins and Catherine Fisher. I love dystopic societies, but I'm also looking for great YA books in other genres!

Hello! My name's Rebecca and I'm from England.I have so many books that I love. I have so many books fullstop. At the minute I'm waiting to get some books that my mum ordered for me (thanks mum!) and they are going to be the first books that I review on my blog (http://threadsfans.blogspot.co.uk/) because I'm going to start reviewing books because I think it's something I'll like. After that I think I'm going to re-read some of the books I have, because I love them. My favourite book right now is probably Threads by Sophia Bennett. My favourite authors include Sophia Bennett, J.K. Rowling, Joanna Nadin and Jacqueline Wilson.

I'm Emily and I've read TONS of popular young adult books. My favorites include common ones like Harry Potter and lesser known ones like the Chaos Walking series (my favorite series!). I <3 science fiction and futuristic books but will read almost anything action-y or romance-y. I also love classics like Wuthering Heights and Dracula.

Hey everyone! My name is Sara Daniell, author of The Holly Nather Trilogy. YA Paranormal romance. My first book, Visions, is out! :)

Hi Mary Jane (MJ) and Sara!

Still trying to figure out how to get onto feeds... Meanwhile, how do we find followers? I've uploaded three shorts - THE TAROT, THE WEDDING BED (vampires), and OCTOSENSUAL under my writings and haven't quite figured out how to invite anyone to read them and comment. Any help I can get will be greatly appreciated.

Hello!
I am Lyn, and I discovered this group through another member.
I am a 30 year old young adult/children's lit lover. My hobbies at the moment are crocheting (I just finished my first single-stitched scarf), letterboxing, writing, reading, video games (Skyrim!), Castleville, blogging via LJ and FB.
I am currently finishing up my senior year at a university in the DFW area of Texas to become an elementary teacher. I want to continue my degree after graduation and complete my degree in literature for children, and become a reading specialist. I start my student teaching in the fall.
My interests in literature is young adult, children's literature, and Norse mythology. I am obsessed with Vikings, and my long term goal is to one day move to Sweden or Norway. I also foster kitties for a rescue group, and I have two little fur babies of my own. I love tigers and big cats, and after completing my schooling, I want to volunteer with the large cat sanctuary near my home during the summers. Last year, I held a baby tiger (marked it off my Bucket List!!) and I have been obsessed ever since.
I am dyslexic, so if I misspell or mix up my words, please feel free to point it out.

Hi, I have had my account here for quite a while, but did not realize how important this was until recently. Now that my first novel No Remorse is set to be released April 4th, GoodReads has become a great place to follow new authors and list all the books I have read.
By the way, my blog tour is set for April 4th-May 4th and I am setting up for interviews and have spots open if you have the time. Please contact me at [email protected]. Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi there!

My name is Alan and I enjoy reading all types of books, but mostly fantasy and scifi. My writing leans in those directions as well. My all-time favorite author would have to be Alan Dean Foster for his Pip and Flinx in the Commonwealth books. My current favorite is probably Jim Butcher. I really love his Harry Dresden series.

Looking forward to poking around in here and making some new friends!

Hey
I'm Makari. I'm fourteen years old and I love reading. I read mostly books on psychology and fantasy. Lately I've taken to reading my American History book because I'm having such a difficult time finding a (good) series that I haven't come across yet. Seriously hoping this group will help me find another good book to get into (however hard that may be) I don't have a favorite book or a favorite author.

Hey everyone!

Hey there, I'm Brianna! I read pretty much every genre but tend to have the most fun with YA. My favorite book is Unwind by Neal Shusterman, which I have read 8 times, and never get bored of. Some of my favorite authors are John Green, George R.R. Martin, Graham McNamee, R.A. Salvatore and, for spice, Dante Alighieri c:

P.S. Something I'm ashamed of: I have never read the Harry Potter series... I just started book one last week!
