Hi, I'm Heidi. I love reading and all types of books, but YA is my favorite. I'm a lawyer and a busy mom, but I love to write and my ultimate goal is to one day become a published author. We'll see... I read basically everything I can get my hands on and write in my spare time. :)

Hi! My name is Hayley and I love to read! My favourite genre is YA Contemporary and the occasional sci-fi/fantasy book. I love to write fantasy stories because I love making up new worlds, people and not having to stick to any rules about it! My absolute favourite book is 'It's Kind of a Funny Story' by Ned Vizzini! I'm super excited to be a part of this group!

Hello I'm Jordan

I have loved YA since Sweet Valley High first appeared in my library in Brighton, England. I became obsessed with those twins and wanted to read more YA books. Today though I'm no longer considered a youth I still love those books. I'm currently working on my own YA series.

Hi, I'm Chelsie. :)

I love books, mostly YA books. Especially dystopias with a cute romance. I love sci-fi and fantasy too. Sometimes I get high over a book. (Ok that actually happens quite a lot.) I get so excited when a book comes out, I rush to buy it, and then I don't even read it for a while. Anyway, Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ is my favorite site and this group seems really nice.

Welcome to all the new people.

J.S.

Hey, I'm Satchel! I love young adult books the most, but I will read most genres. My favorite types of young adult books are the ones with lots of suspence and romance. I haven't read in awhile, but I'm picking it up again and am excited to see what new books are out there.

Hi Court,

Can I call you that? I don't know you but I assume since you're told that you're amazing it must be true.

Hi all new members! Sorry I didn't get a chance to welcome you all individually! Grad school's been very demanding lately! >.<

It's great to have you guys here and I hope you find the group fun and helpful. We're currently holding nominations for next month's Group Reads, so suggest a couple if you'd like. We also hold writing challenges for writers!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! ^.^

I've finished reading The Gamble by Kristen Ashley and Origin by Jennifer L.Armentrout and right now I'm zooming my way through Gone by Micahel Grant. And no, I'm not a professional writer but I do write in my spare time. :)

Hello! I'm Brittany. I am new to the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ site, and I am excited to be able to discuss some of my favorite YA books with others! I love dystopian and fantasy books especially. Currently, I am finishing up the "Blue Bloods" series by Melissa de la Cruz. I am an American History teacher, but would like to start writing in my free time!

Are they good? I've really wanted to read those but I was afraid I won't like them and I really love her as an author.

Hi I write YA fiction too. It's always fun to "meet" other writers

It certainly is! Nice to "meet" you Jordan : )

thanks kiddo

Hi! My name is Camy Tang. I write romantic suspense, contemporary romance, and right now I'm working on a Regency romantic suspense, and next year I hope to write a YA. I absolutely love reading YA fiction--dystopian is my fav but I also love paranormal and speculative. I've been working with my church youth group for almost 17 years and strangely, they don't think I'm too weird. :) Nice to meet everyone!

Hey Camy! It's great to have you in YAholics Anonymous!! I love reading regency romantic suspense so whenever you finish, I'll probably be the first in line :) Also we hold writing challenges if you want to join them.

Aside from all that, check out our book reads and games ! They're pretty popular and I would love to see what thoughts you can provide to our general discussions.

Thanks Miriam! You guys seem like a pretty active group, which is really cool. I have to admit I joined the group as soon as I saw all the books in your group banner, many of which are some of my favorite reads. :)

Hi Jordan!
The "Blue Bloods" series is great! The author adds some interesting historical twists throughout, and you easily fall in love with the main characters. The companion books are nice as well.

Hello, my name is Kyra and I love to read YA books. My favorite YA author is Ellen Hopkins. I hope to make new friends and receive recommendations.

Hi and welcome Kyra!!

I second Izabella :) It's wonderful to have you in the group, Kyra!! You're sure to make lots of friends here! :D I love to read YA books as well, although I have't read any books by Ellen Hopkins. I know, shame on me but I'm planning to!

Thanks for the welcome.

Hi my name is Kim. I like a various different expanse of genres in books which includes YA also. In YA I like dystopia and speculative fiction the best. In YA I also like paranormal, romance, and clean coming of age. I read and have read a lot of first time YA authors before they become popular. I must have discerning tastes because they all become popular eventually. If a YA book becomes a movie, my husband is a good sport and lets me drag him to see it with me.

Aw, you have a great husband! :)

Thanks Camy! My husband is a good sport. I think the "Hunger Games" is the only one of the dozens of movies based on YA books he enjoyed through out. He does have his limits in other genres. He absolutely will not watch Regency/Georgian era period movies or movies where they sing through out. So yeah no Jane Austen movies or movies based on Broadway musicals *lol*.

Austen movies are out for my hubby too, but he has watched Singin' in the Rain with me and he enjoys watching Glee. :)

Welcome new people!! :D

Hi! ^^
I'm Lily Mhaye and I think it's pretty obvious I'm new here. I'm a certified YA fan who's desperately in search of other fans who could understand me better. Basically because many people around my environment don't get books. So I would really like to have friends here, am I welcome? :)

Hello Lily! Of course you're welcome here, we are very welcoming people here!! Oh, and I'm a loud person, just a heads up. ;)
Oh, and by the way, you didn't have to introduce yourselves again, I liked you the first time itself. ;)

thanks! :) I'm really kind of nervous being sociable to others. But I'm trying.. and I'm really happy :) that you liked my first post. I'm not just confident with myself. But really, thanks^^

Shrishti thanks for the welcome :-). Camy, ooh I love Glee! The show puts me in a positive mood. You have a great husband as well if he watches Glee with you :-).

Yes, he's definitely a Gleek. :)

Welcome Lily! I am brand new to the group as well. Looks like an active group and I am sure you will make a lot of new friends.

Hi people! I'm Sarah. I love YA books in general, but personally I think a lot of them are cliche and annoying. Like The Selection (the one thing you should know about me is that I absolutely HATE The Selection). I like a lot of different TV shows and the movie Pacific Rim and I love to run. Ummm that's it! Can't wait to get involved in this group. :)

Hey Guys I'm Tanya and I'm a proud YAholic :)

Hi Sarah, Tanya and Jessica!!!

Welcome Sarah, Tanya, and Jessica!

Hello! I'm Lesley :) *waves* I absolutely adore YA books, especially those that are on the emotional side. I also adore reviewing them!

Welcome, everybody!

Hiya Lesley!! *waves back*
