Introduce Yourself
Hey, I'm Bella, I have only recently been introduced to Good Reads but I'm loving it. I'm a massive fan of Dan Brown, Nicholas Sparks and Cassandra Clare and of course J.K. Rowling. I joined this group to find some new books which you guys would recommend. I'm open to all genres.

Hello all,My names is Bethany. I love anything YA and am also an author of YA. I don't really read any other genre. I am currently reading The Institute Series by Kayla Howarth. Look forward to getting to know you!
Hi, I'm Sienna, I LOVE YA and I recently started writing my own YA books. I'm not reading any new books right now, having just finished If You Find Me by Emilie Murdoch and a few of John Green's books; Paper Towns, TFIOS, An Abundance of Katherines. If anyone has some good book recommendations I would love to hear them!

welcome
@Kat Welcome and you should read Paper Towns, its great and the movie is coming out in a few months
@Kat Hi! An Abundance of Katherines by John Green was really good! Theres a teenage guy has a type of mid-life(teen)-crisis after being dumped by yet another Katerine which then leads into the rest of the book. I dont want to give any more spoilers than what I've said already sooo, yeah. It is really good though! I would recommend it.

Never heard of this one before but it sounds like a good read. Also added this one to my list! :)
Hey, I'm Melissa and after being in a very long (like six months long) reading slump I've just gotten back into reading. I have just discovered the Goodreads and am loving it. I find it a great motivation and a great way to find new books.
Welcome everyone and I hope you enjoy Goodreads @Melissa

Hi, I am Prex J.D.V. Ybasco, an indie YA Author. I love reading YA novels as they invigorate my soul. Fantasy (particularly Harry Potter series and Eragon) and Sci Fi (Pendragon) are my favorites although I don't limit myself as I also like reading Michael Crichton's to JRR Tolkien's novels.

Hi all, my name is Shameez, and I will read almost anything, but YA is my absolute favourite. Especially when they is a romance involved. I love John Green, Rainbow Rowell, many many more, (OF COURSE JK ROWLING - SHE IS QUEEN)

I am currently reading (don't judge me) Buffy the Vampire Slayer! Ha! I picked it up for next to nothing at a charity book sale.

Hey everyone! I'm Ten, a 19 year old university student originally from Canada but in school down in the US. I love everything YA, although I love Fantasy/Sci-Fi and a really good classic every now and then! I have way too many favourites to even count, but really enjoyed the Harry Potter series, the Seven Realms series, and Graceling!
Hi everyone! My name is Mugzy, weird name I know, I could never find my name on those cool collectible things you find at tourist locations! I'm a huge reader, I also really like to re-read whole series to look for underlying themes or just to learn more about the characters. Currently I'm re-reading the whole Throne of Glass series in anticipation for Queen of Shadows, this is something I do nearly every time a new book in the series comes out so the story feels continuous and I don't have questions about "who was that again?, I don't remember them doing that" I'm going to regret this little habit when Brandon Sanderson releases a new book. Anyway I'm mostly looking for friends to read and discuss with :)
Hey everyone! I'm Robin.I love to read (obviously LOL), go camping, swimming, fishing, and hunting.
Can't wait to discuss Bookish topics with you all!

Hi, I'm Lilith! I am in love with YA books, well, all books really but YA in particular. The books I'm currently obsessing over are the Throne of Glass books (love Sarah J. Maas!) but I otherwise have tons of favorite books.
