It's not extremely well-known, so you're not lame. :) But you should definitely check it out!

Charmaine (empress_charla) | 143 comments Welcome new members! :-)

The last dystopian I've read was Mockingjay, and that was a while ago, so I'm not feeling overdone yet. XD I'm still waiting for my library to give me Divergent, and I might have to buy Blood Red Road since the library is being stingy with their two copies. -_-

It depends on the genre - do you have a favorite type?

I love books by John Green, Ned Vizzini, Stephen Chbosky, i guess 'realistic' YA fiction is what i'm really into at the moment, but i'm open for any kinds of suggestions.


message 523: by Kerem (new)

Kerem Mermutlu | 13 comments wow, looks great. I've heard lots of great things about 'Divergent' so i think i will check that out too. Thanks for the recommendation.

If you like real YA fiction you can not go wrong with Melina Marchetta - I would start with Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta . I also liked Hate List by Jennifer Brown , Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green , Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins , If I Stay (If I Stay, #1) by Gayle Forman . If like a little humor I also enjoyed Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson, #1) by Louise Rennison and The Year of Secret Assignments (Ashbury/Brookfield, #2) by Jaclyn Moriarty , or The Boyfriend List 15 Guys, 11 Shrink Appointments, 4 Ceramic Frogs and Me, Ruby Oliver (Ruby Oliver, #1) by E. Lockhart .

Rebecca Gober (rebeccagober) | 6 comments Hi, I'm Rebecca. I'm new to Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, love YA fiction and <3 paranormal.

My best friend and I recently released our first book in an all new YA paranormal series called: Night Marchers. It's steeped in Hawaiian legend and takes a new twist on the old fashioned ghost story. Here's the link to our book:

I'm looking forward to making new friends. :0)

Rebecca Gober (rebeccagober) | 6 comments Thanks!


Lola (Reading by Lamplight) (hollylilly) I realized that I joined the group without commenting on this discussion thread. I joined back in September. I had just finished reading Enchanted Ivy and there was a suggestion made from goodreads that I join as the book club was also reading Enchanted Ivy. It's a book that hasn't gotten a lot of publicity, so I checked out the main page, and absolutely feel in love with you guys! I've been following and participating ever since! :)

Steven Santos (stevendossantos) | 3 comments Hi Everyone,

My name is Steven, and I'm an avid YA reader and writer and look forward to getting to know all of you :-) Some of my recent book faves include THE HUNGER GAMES Trilogy and THE CHAOS WALKING Trilogy.

Publisher's Marketplace just announced my Post-Apocalyptic YA debut novel which appeared in the "Deal" section on November 28:

"Steven dos Santos's THE TORCH KEEPER, about a young man's harrowing struggle to save his younger brother by surviving a sadistic military recruitment -- and facing the horrifying fate that awaits not only each recruit, but their loved ones, to Brian Farrey at Flux, in a two-book deal, for publication in Winter 2013, by Ginger Knowlton at Curtis Brown."

I love chocolate, cheesecake, movies (especially sci-fi, fantasy, horror) and dabble in scripts in my spare time.
