Kristen! :D And yes you should all read Kristen's book, because it's awesome.

Hi everyone *waves* I'm Krystal. I love YA books, I am totally addicted. Have been for years though. It seems like they are the only kind of novels that really keep my interest and spark my imagination.

Anyway, looking forward to meeting all of you and reading with you. Feel free to add me to your friends and chat with me sometime. :)

Hello! Welcome!

Hi Krystal! Welcome to the group.

Hi All!!! I never heard of this group until Heidi sent me a message to let me know that my new book has been picked as the monthly read for September! I am really, truly honored and can't wait to see what you all think :)

I've always been obsessed with books and can be found all over the world pulling my beautiful wife into used bookstores ;) After being fortunate enough to start writing YA and Children's novels full time this year, my wife and I left our corporate jobs to travel the world for 2 years while I write and she writes and takes photographs. We just left Hawaii and are now in Nashville. I love meeting new people and making friends so feel free to send me a friend request :)

Hi David! I mixed up my GR groups because I thought you were in this one (and think I said you were) but you are in my other YA group! Anywho I am so excited you joined us and can't wait until Sept. to read Mood Dwellers. Welcome welcome!

Thanks Heidi!! And that's ok, I'm so glad I found out about this one too, I love any groups that are all about YA ;)

Hi David! Welcome to the group, great to have you with us!

Thanks Karolina! And thanks for the add ;)

So glad to find a YA group I've been unsuccessfully looking for some time! I love the idea of reading and discussing books monthly.

Yay welcome Erin!! I've only been here a short time but loving it already :)

Hello and welcome :)

Hi James! Welcome to the group! I live just outside of London and I also grew up in Poland how weird is that! Glad to meet a country fellow :)

Not that weird when you think how many of us are here these days ;)

Yep :D

I think I introduced myself, but I'm not sure...
Anyway, I'm Kim, like the thing says at the top, in the gray part, yeah, and I love YA! I originally joined in hopes of becoming friends with other book-addicts, since my own friends are more sports-oriented. :(
And... I run a book blog, , centered on YA.
Let's be friends!

Welcome Kim!!

Hello, Kim!

Welcomeeeeee Kimmmmm!

Hey Kim! Welcome to the group!

howdie bookworms:D

Hey, my name is Danniella Duff from Toluca Lake. I love anything from paranormal - of any type - to horror. Love YA, urban, fantasy, dystopia and even though I'm 21 I love skuldeggry pleasant books. And yup, I'm pretty much obsessed with books and a kind of OCD when it comes to my books, they need to be in alphabetical order by authors last name and by genre.

Hi everyone! Thanks for inviting me. I'm Linda, but I publish as L.S. Murphy. I love reading YA as much as I love writing it.
Can't wait to discuss great books with everyone. :)

Welcome and hello Danniella and L.S.!!!

Hey! My name is Brandusa, but my friends call me Brandubell.I've been reading since I was a little child and a lot of my favorite books are from the young adult genre.
I can't wait to start book gossip with you!:)

Hello, Brandubell! Welcome to the group. I hope you enjoy it here! :)

Welcome Brandusa!!

Hi Brandubell, cool nickname :)

Thank you! It's a romanian name for a small,purple/orange flower.:D

Hello everyone. My name is Polly and I'm a Brit - and the owner of the sweetest chocolate Lab EVER. I'm also the author of To Be Honest - a YA book that deals with friendship, relationships at school (with kids and teachers :)) and other issues, such as bullying, lying and eating disorders. It's a fun, paranormal romance too and is about 15 yr old Lisi Reynolds who likes to fib. Just little ones. What’s wrong with that? Everyone lies, don’t they?

But with her best friend Josh’s traumatic love life, a shopping-addicted mother and Chad Swanning oblivious to her existence, how else is Lisi supposed to survive, if not with a little truth-stretching?

When a rare mammatus cloud to Shakespeare's Globe puts Lisi in her delectable English teacher Miss Mint’s shoes, living the ultimate lie proves irresistible.

There’s just one catch: Miss Mint wants her life back.

And she won’t get it until Lisi starts telling the truth.

But with a cool house, hunky fiancé and the chance to confront bully Alicia and win Chad's heart, why would Lisi give it all up, to be honest?

I hope you enjoy To Be Honest - if you'd like to receive a copy let me know: I can give away 10 copies for free to the first respondents :). x

Welcome Polly! Best of luck with your book!

Hi everyone! I'm Ally, and I just joined the group! And I joined this group to meet some new people and talk about my absolute favorite genre of books!

Hello Ally! Welcome welcome!!

Hola Polly and Ally!! I'm in Mexico now, can you tell I'm trying to learn Spanish? Yeah, that's about the extent of my vocabulary so far, progress is slow! Anyway, welcome to the group!

Thanks Heidi and Bluemoon - looking forward to the chat!

David: in Mexico for a Vacation or for good?"

Lol when I started writing full time, my wife and I left Australia to travel for two years while I write :) this is month 5 and we're in Mexico for the next 4 months! Woohoo!!

Wow David that is exciting! I am a homebody myself but wish I had more of a nomad heart!

Hehe I'm pretty much a homebody too but my wife helps me to get out there and do things! Otherwise I'd probably just read and write all day, although I still love doing that too ;)

Bluemoon wrote: "Wow that sounds really fun david!"

Hehe thanks Blue! We're loving it although I still work most of the day so we can survive off of my writing, but it's great getting to see so many amazing places!

Thanks!!!
