Hello! I'm Katie, I'm getting my Masters in Library and Information Studies right now and if you think I read a lot now...

I love all things YA, and I'm hoping to get a piece of paper that says 'this chick knows a lot about books, no but really, see here' so this is going to be a fun ride. I'll read a lot of things and at the same time, too, so give it all to me to add to my TBR and I'll happily get to it someday! Nice to meet you all!

Hey I’m Meghan! I of course love to read as well and do it as often as I can between a full time job and working on my second degree X_X. My first degree is in English and Professional Writing which I love but will likely never get a job in hahaha! I’m planning on teaching English in South Korea this year starting in September.
I love horror, fantasy, dystopian, sci-fi, mystery and the occasional romance. Happy reading all!

Hey everyone! My name is Miriah. I love dabbling in Photoshop, writing, and watching waaaaaaaaaaay too much TV. I have 3 Yorkies named Roxy, Renly, and Thor. Right now, I'm really enjoying Marie Lu, Sarah J Maas, and Leigh Bardugo. I work full time as an assistant at a media company. My favorite colors are green and mustard yellow (though not together).

I love to read and I love to review books (constantly getting better at reviewing, I think...) I love SJM and Rick Riordan and would read anything by them. So happy to meet you all! Thank you Jude, for the invite!

Hi everyone! Thanks to Jude for the invite <3 I love Goodreads groups, and I'm always happy to join another one. My name is Leelynn, I'm 25 years young and I'm originally from Hawaii. I currently live in Norfolk, VA, and man this weather is getting to me! I miss the beach, I miss eternal summer LOL. I'm working two jobs, one full time and one part time, as well as going to school for Criminal Justice. I love reading, as I'm sure everyone else does, and I look forward to reading so many more books this year. I love YA the most, although I will try to get out of my comfort zone. As long as there's no unnecessary sex scenes I'm good lol. I also review books during my spare time on my blog: Sometimes Leelynn Reads. If you want to check it out, let me know! My link is in my profile so I won't add it here.

So glad to meet everyone! I look forward to reading and discussing with you all.

My favorite colors are black, red, and blue. I love reading pretty much everything, but I enjoy reading YA books more than anything.

Hi

Wow, that’s a lot of books! I’m totally jealous right now.

Hi, my name is Alicia. I'm a college student studying Art History. I love writing, reading, and anything in the art department. I don't really have a favorite series or book. I don't usually stick with just YA books, but majority of the books I own are YA. I'm very diverse in the book department, if it's interesting I'll read it.

Hi everyone! I'm Jenny. I'm a 40 year old married mother of 4. I live in central Iowa (Boone) and work as a dietary aide at a senior assisted living facility (a job I love!)

Reading is my #1 spare time activity. I read A LOT. I've been a reader since the age of 8 when I fell in love with The Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I read just about anything, but most of what I read is YA. Fantasy is my favorite genre, although I also really adore Sci-Fi and Dystopian.

I'm also very crafty. I love to stamp and to scrapbook, and love working with mixed media art. I'm somewhat outdoorsy and love to hike, and I love to travel, but don't get to do that very much.

My favorite book of all time is followed by I'm a huge HP fan!!!

So if you have Instagrams and you get a follow or a like from @reader_geek that's me! I post mostly books, cats, cute things from my kid, crafty things, and updates from my grad work since it has to do with books.

It's very nice to meet you all! I love hearing about all the different YA we like to read and it's awesome to see so many people putting in their Hogwarts houses! I'm a Ravenclaw :3

Well, I'm Slytherin.
And I got an awesome pair of Slytherin socks for Christmas.

Hi, I'm Rachael. I'm from Vancouver, BC, Canada. Reading has fallen off the radar over the last couple years because school, work and I am publishing my own book (@r.bellirving_author).

Now I really want to get back into reading and I LOVE magic, superheroes, myths and anything that really falls into fantasy. If anyone has recommendations on their top 5 YA books must reads, I would love to hear it!

Little bit about me: I have a degree in Zoology and Classical Studies (strange, I know). I also love animals, tea, and the ocean! I work as a science educator, and will geek out very easily. And I'm a hufflepuff!

Hi, I'm Abby and I'm a sophomore in college. I am a Potterhead and proud of it!! I have a dog named Charlie and I love reading. It's kinda funny that I love reading since I want to be a math teacher lol. Anyways.... I recently joined Good Reads and I'm excited to see what new reads I'm gunna fall in love with! If anyone has any recommendations of books similar to The Fault In Our Stars, Caraval, or Harry Potter definitely let me know! Also, if any of you have a cute dog pleeeease share photos!! I'm obsessed with dogs and pretty much any cuddly animal. It's kinda nice to finally find a group who is as obsessed with YA as me. I feel like I am the only person I know who will still be reading YA when I'm 80 LOL.

Hello all! My name is Rachael, but mostly I go by Rae :) I am an avid book lover and spend all my free time reading or hiking and camping. I especially love it when I can enjoy the outdoors with a good book :) I am also an animal lover and currently am the proud mama of a 190lb. swiss mountain dog named Jasper. I love him so much, he also enjoys laying around while I read (hiking not so much).

Goodreads has become an obsession over the past year or so and I am so happy to be a part of this community of people, feel free to send me a friend request, book suggestion, or if you want to do a buddy read! I am always happy to make new book friends!

Hi I’m Ben. I’m just getting into the Goodreads scene and trying to figure out how it all works.

Hey!

I am so happy there is a YA-focused GR group! I'm Xavier and I have a youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFyS....

Can't wait to meet all of you guys!

Hey people!
My name is Vijetha and I am from Bangalore, India.
I am definitely a bookoholic. But I don't just limit myself to YA. I read mystery, historical, fantasy, mythology and actually any fiction book with a good story.
But I did start reading from YA so I have a special place for that genre.
I'd love to make friends with similar book tastes here. And I'd love to chat books with anyone.
Thank you for having me. Let's read on!

Hi everyone, I'm Sami, and love to read, write and learn bits of other languages.

Hello everyone ♥
My name is Mary and I love reading, writing, foreing languages, drawing, music, fandom culture and graphic design ♥

Hi!
My name is Nyx (contrary to what my username says), and I love reading, writing and music. I love reading YA and Middle Grade (Though I am a little more picky of what I read in Middle Grade.)

hello everyone!!
I'm Sami, I have the expected live of books, and I also enjoy writing. I love cooking and take part in Medieval reenactment. (so I'm not around some weekends)
looking forward to getting to know you!!

Hello all,
I'm Doejoe, I love reading when I can't read I'm listening to audiobooks and like video games.

Hi everyone!

My name is Katie and I'm a huge fantasy fan, whether its YA fantasy or adult fantasy! I love reading (obviously) and I run a book blog and bookstagram called melting pages! My favorite books so far this year are Furyborn by Claire Legrand and Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames!

Hi!! My name is Molly and I’m new to these groups. I have always loved reading but now i’m more involved than ever! I really enjoyed The Disappearances and I just finished A Court of Thorns and Roses. I hate English class but that doesn’t stop me from reading!!

Hello, everyone! My name is Leo! I love reading so much it hurts, especially YA! I'm a Ravenclaw and I love my books funny and informative (not too much) and exciting!

Hi guys, I'm Katina, I love reading and writing but lately I've been in stuck in writers block so I'm hoping the more I read the more inspired I'll be to finish a few of fanfictions, and stories I've been working on. I love listening to music, I'm a huge fan of the Netflix show Travelers and anything Sci-Fi. My favorite show of all time is the 1999 show Roswell.

I love Roswell! I’ve rewatched it so many times. Nice to finally meet someone who actually knows what it is :)

@Natalie I'm so happy someone loves the show as much as I do. I heard that they are trying to do a reboot and I am genuinely scared because I don't think it will live up to the original show. I mean they have people who worked on the vampire diaries tv show trying to write for it.

Yeah, I don’t know about that. Reboots usually just ruin the show for me. I thought that the show had a great ending, and doesn’t need to be added on to.

Hi around. People call me Asa, I'm 24. I'm a slow, slow, slower reader. I like fantasy books mostly. I don't really like to read something like way to real since reality sucks. I'm an internet shy person (it's hard to get close to someone online). I'm an otaku, I like kpop and videogames and football (like the round ball one). And that's pretty much.

Natalie wrote: Yeah, I don’t know about that. Reboots usually just ruin the show for me. I thought that the show had a great ending, and doesn’t need to be added on to.

I know! I'm just like why mess with perfection. They are also rebooting Charmed and I can't understand why. The show was perfect as is.

Yes, someone else here likes Kpop! That's great I'm a huge fan of kpop.
