Hi everyone. My name is Angela Carling. I am the author of Unbreakable Love and soon out Shackled(both YA books) I'm a sucker for a good romance or a book that makes me laugh. I can't begin to call out a favorite author because I read a little of everything and I plan to discover great books in this group. If you want to know more about my writing or me, go to angelacarling.com.

Hey I am Starr, newly joined this site but used to visit this place before starting any new book to read the reviews. I have joined this site so I can share my views about my favorite books and have discussions on the same, I think it will be fun. But just trying to figure out this place for now.
I usually read only romantic books, mainly historical and contemporary but sometimes YA too.

Hi! I'm Zoe and I love YA books!

Hi Angela, If you're interested in a YA novel that's romantic AND makes you laugh, go to Amazon and pick up a copy of First Taste of Love. :)

Hi! My name is Cassandra. I LOVE to read! I mostly read YA because I can read them faster than say Shakespeare or Charles Dickens which are 2 of my faves. I just finished the Hunger Games and am ravenous for the next one. My husband has read Inheritance, but it's been soo long I will need to read at least Eldest again before I tackle that. Let's see, some of my faves are J.K Rowling, Brandon Mull, Elizabeth George Speare, Gail Carson Levine, Rick Riordan, Jonathan Stroud, Christopher Paolini and many, many others. I am currently reading 13 Treasures by Michelle Harrison and Anne of Green Gables again for the 5th time. I love many different genres and am very interested in reading James Patterson's YA series.

Hi, I'm Cecily which my mom picked from her favorite play by Oscar Wilde, The importance of being earnest. I can't possibly pick a favorite book, they come in phases, right now, i love Divergent by Veronica Roth, can't wait for next month.

Hey hey! I'm Chele, she-who-finally-caved and added Goodreads to her long list of procrastination tactics ;P I'm a sucker for epic fantasies and awesome plotlines, add YA to the mix and it's insta-love for me. Looking forward to meeting new people on here! ;D

Hey I'm Shannen :) I'm seriously in LOVE with YA fiction but I think my favorite type is Dystopian YA. Normally I'd say it's too hard to pick a favorite series but "Uglies" by Scott Westerfeld is just so amazing it wins my vote :) I've only written one book "The Breakup Artist" but I'm working on a dystopian YA novel so hopefully I'll join the ranks of awesome stories soon!

I thought you would all like to HEAR something I've written and collaborated on with WORK AT NIGHT in Sweden.

Hi All - I'm a blogger who reads a lot of Y/A fiction and have a quick question hopefully someone will be able to answer.

What was the title of the book about 4 english children who run away one summer to start their own little tribe?

I can't remember any of the names of the characters, just that the book was fairly controversial because it involved pre-teens running away and not listening to adults. There was also some sex and violence, as well. If anyone has a clue as to title or author, pls let me know. Thx in advance.

Hey all new people!!

Hi, I'm Misty. I'm kind of a readaholic. I love books. Reading, collecting, and hopefully one day writing one or two of my own. I read whatever strikes my fancy at that particular moment. Mostly YA, regency/historical romance, and contemporary romance. I am known to read an occassional self-help book just to keep the old ticker sharp and healthy ;-D I love book reccomendations so if you have some for me they are greatly appreciated. Looking forward to getting to know you guys.

Hi everyone, my name is Sadeem, I'm 26. Recently I've been reading more YA than I usually do. It's almost like I never knew how much I liked the genre. I have a 13 year-old niece and I am hoping I could get the chance to bond with her over books the way we boned over music. I am very interested in fantasy, but I also read a lot of other types.

Hi Misty and Sadeem! Welcome to "Addicted to YA"!

Hi, my name is Heather and I simply love YA books! They are so well-written and can be so much more imaginative than "adult" books. I just finished reading Clockwork Prince last night and really hope that Clockwork Princess comes out in November of this year rather than March of next year! Some other books I have loved are Divergent, Enclave, The Hunger Games, Life as We Knew It, The Demon Covenant, The Iron King, and the list goes on and on!

Hi all! My name is Candace. I recently moved far from my family and friends for a job out here. That being said, I have a LOT of time on my hands. I love reading and especially love YA. Am really excited to read the books for April. Thanks for having me! ~Candace

Hi Heather and Candace!

Hi guys - my name is Dominic, and I write stuff. What I normally write is adult SF, and I've had some success with it (Hugo nomination, work in anthologies including The Year's Best Science Fiction: Twenty-Sixth Annual Collection, etc.), but I'm trying to achieve some success with YA SF, and to do it by circumventing the traditional large publishers and literary agencies. My other hobbies include trying to get cats to understand simple English phrases such as 'STOP CLAWING THE FURNITURE! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO CLAW THE FURNITURE?'.
