The YA Book Club discussion

Introduce yourself to the other members of the club. Feel free to share as much or as little as you'd like about your life, interests, favorite books, and more.

I'm Halley, your moderator! I'm 21 and a Senior in college. Other than books, I like video games, makeup, fashion, and a multitude of other things. I'm currently getting my bachelor's in Information Systems Management, so hopefully one day I'll be someone's resident IT geek! I'm @halleymccarty on Instagram, if you'd like a closer look at my life.

1. the mortal instruments/ the infernal devices
2. harry potter
3. percy jackson/ the heroes of olympus
4. divergent
5. vampire academy
6. the hunger games

Hey girls! I'm Rachel, I'm 22 and I've literally been reading non-stop since I've been home from school for the summer (I never had time to read for pleasure while away). I'm starting grad school in a few weeks, so hopefully I'll be able to keep up with whatever book we're reading in this group! I love YA (obviously) and I'm mostly into romance, dystopian, or fantasy fiction- but really I'm up for reading anything.

I'm reading the first book in the mortal instruments right now- I've heard so many fantastic things about it. LOVE Harry Potter...didn't know what to do with my life when the series was over! I've never read Percy Jackson- what's that about? I remember they came out with a movie about it kind of recently. Love Divergent- I'm in love with Tobias and I'm still waiting for Insurgent to come in from the library, I requested it like a month ago. Currently reading the VA series- I just finished Blood Promise and omg was it intense! The end of the third one made me SO MAD. I'm starting Spirit Bound after City of Bones I'm dying to find out what happens with Dimitri and Rose!!!!! (The suspense is killing me). And of course, The Hunger Games...Team Peeta forever. Def one of my favorite series as well.

So basically- looks like we love all the same books! :)

Love finding other people who love the same books that I do!

Percy Jackson is a greek myths thing about demigods. It is really cool! Tobias/Four is awesome! Spirit bound is the one right before last sacrifice right? Who is your favorite character? I think mine is Adrian. Yes, we do love all the same books! :)

Hi Everybody! My name is Pam. I live in WA and I am too old to tell you! lol... Let's just say that I am old enough to be a grandparent to some of you. I love young adult reading and seen this group and thought it might help me get off my hind end and read a bit more.

Hi! My name is Chloe but everybody I know calls me Chlo, I'm 17 and I live in Scotland. I absolutely love to read and have done since I could do so. I enjoy all sorts of books but my favourites are:

- The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
- The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
- The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins

Those are only a few of my favourites. If I wrote all of them down you'd get bored reading the list! I'm currently reading Northern Lights by Phillip Pullman and it's absolutely phenomenal! I pretty much love all kinds of books :)

Heeeeey! My name is Mel (short for Melanie, pronounced as Mèèhlahniej) and I'm 21 years young. I live in Holland, so excuse me if I make mistakes :) I enjoy almost everything that has letters in it, but my favorite are by far fairytales and retellings. But I read everything YA from dystopia to fantasy. I also like to read some MG at a time and Adults as well. Like I said: everything with letters in it ^^ (although.. I never read chick lits)

Uhmm. A few of my favorites:
-J.K Rowling: Harry Potter.
-Julie Kagawa: The iron Fey & The immortal rules.
-Markus Zusak: The book thief <3
-Everything Juliet Marillier writes.
-Veronica Roth: Divergent (Insurgent wasn't that good.. :( such a shame)
-Anna Sheehan: a long, long sleep.
-A.C Gaughen: Scarlet.
-Carrie Ryan: The forest of hands and teeth.
-Janet Lee Carey: Dragonswood.

Fairytales and retellings:
Cameron Dokey, Tracy Lynn, Suzanne Weyn, Zoë Marriott, Jessica Day George, Debbie Viguié, Diane Zahler, Jackson Pearce.

I recently read Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins and I adore those books. They were hilarious ^^ They reminded me of Kiersten White her Paranormalcy books; she has that same easy, funny writing style.

Uhmm, I own http://thedailyprophecy.blogspot.com

and that will do for the moment :)

Hello! I'm kimi from southeast asia and i love YA dystopian books.

Hi everyone! My name is Sandra, I'm 20 years old and I of course love books! My boyfriend got me a kindle for Christmas so it has made it so convenient for me to read more because it doesn't weigh me down, plus you can borrow e-books from your library. But nothing is better than the smell of old books and the library/bookstore! I have been reading as much as I can since school ended! I love romance, dystopian, fantasy, and almost any kind of YA books. I absolutely love The Hunger Games! And Divergent! Next I'm going to read Delirium and Pandemonium.

Scotland? Wow that's very interesting. I wanted to go there to study abroad but never got the chance. Did you live there long? Or do you still live there?

Nice to meet you. I haven't been very active on GR since I joined, and figured I needed a little more social activity. XD

Hi, I'm Rob. I'm a writer (of YA), but I read it too. My favourites so far are Variant (although I'm a tad annoyed its a trilogy even though it doesn't say it is), The Demon trapper books, Divergent, and Clockwork Angels (plus others, but those are the high spots of this year's reading).
My first novel came out this year but I'm not going to bore you by plugging it. What am I looking forward to? Seeing what Strange Chemistry books are like.
As you can tell from my spelling, I'm from England, near london
