any and all lol

Yeah, people just getting killed off for no reason is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. I mean if its to save someone or to move the story along, that's one thing. But when characters you have grown attached to get bumped off with little explanation, drives me nuts. Ugh.

I thought there were reasons for most of the things in Mockingjay Anywho we are agreeing to disagree and moving along!

Hi! I'm Cindy. I love teen reads, they spoil me. I also write YA books, in fact, Barnes and Noble is holding a big launch party for my book, Watched, on Monday. Oh, wow, that's in less than a week. Yahoo. I found goodreads a while ago but didn't understand what an awesome place it is until recently. It's been fun to read your posts.

Welcome Cindy. Good luck with your launch :)

Thanks. I need all the luck I can get.

Good luck Cindy! I'm sure it will be a big hit!

Good luck on your book Cindy :D

Welcome and good luck! I hope it goes well!

Good luck, Cindy!

Congrats!

Congratulations Cindy!! (Also, I've tried to post this tree times, over twelve hours ago. Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ is being so lame. It's not letting me post comments anywhere >.>)

Yeah, Cindy! that sounds so exciting.

Hi,
I'm actually not a YA fiction fan ;_; The only YA book I ever read, and enjoyed was Twilight, so I've been trying to read other YA, but I can't get over my prejudices every time I walk by the Teen lit section at my local library. That's why I joined, I hope to get some recommendations. And its kind of great that it'll be a monthly reading thing (so I'll be reading with others).

Good news everyone! My book launch was amazing. I couldn't believe it when the guy in charge told me I had the highest selling event Ever at that Barnes and Noble. Thanks to everyone that came! go Watched

Cindy, that is SO awesome! :D Good job!

Welcome Monya! YA Fiction=Awesomsauciness. The Twilight books barely dripped into the delicious chocolate fountain that is YA.

Ugh! Twilight is not my idea of good YA lit. Try anything by Melina Marchetta. She is my favorite YA author.

Hmm. I haven't read anything by her, either. -puts on to-read list-

A lot of people say Twilight wasn't very good, but they still like the movies which I thought looked more cheesy than nacho chips on steriods. I'll check out Ms.Marchette's books, and what's your favorite by her? Thank you for all of the "Welcomes"!! n_n

Yay! I am a huge Melina pusher. I should get paid!

My favorite is but if you read it BE WARNED it is confusing as heck for like 200 pages. If you want to start with something easier to understand I would go with or . If you like fantasy books I would go for .

Thanks guys!

HI guys! I am new to this group! I am 22, YA Fantasy fan!! I love reading!! Happy to be here!!!

Melina pusher???? Hmm, my name is melina! Hahaha

Hello Melina! Welcome to the group :)

Welcome Melina! One of my favorite names now :)

HEY MELINA!!!! :D

Oh my goodness, there are so many new faces since I left on vacation. (It's great to be home with internet service.) Hi everyone and welcome!

Hi everyone! I'm Emily and I just found your group. I'm 33, I live in North Carolina, and I'm a reference and teen librarian.

I pretty much never read "grown up books" because I prefer teen (and sometimes younger) literature. I read a little bit of everything, but my favorite genres are realistic fiction and fantasy, with the occasional historical fiction and non-fiction book. Within fantasy I especially like fairy-tale and mythology retellings. Oh, and I love food fiction, which I usually say has to include recipes to count, but books where food and cooking plays a big role works for me, too.

I'm currently reading "Cloaked" by Alex Finn. Recently read favorites have included "Hex Hall" "Demonglass" "Ten Miles Past Normal" "Close to Famous" and "Five Flavors of Dumb."

It would take me way too long to list all-time favorites, but I saw in a recent comment that someone posted Jellicoe Road, which would totally be on my list!

I'm not totally technology minded, so can someone tell me how you all are getting book cover pictures to appear in your posts? That's cool.

I'd be interested to know how your monthly read works. Is there voting? Nominating? How far ahead do you choose your titles?

I'm excited to be joining you!
