I've been a bit of a stalker lurker for a while here, so thought I'd finally introduce myself. *Waves*

When I was younger (about 13-14) I read books such as Wuthering Heights and sneaked Jackie Collins novels belonging to my mum.

I'm now 22 and a huge fan of YA novels, which is a good indicator for my personality - I like to do things backwards!

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the ‘forum jump’ you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. Most of the SYW areas require the password of ….vista. A word to the wise, (50 posts), it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

Welcome! I used to read adult books as a teen, now I read YA as an adult. Weird, right? Glad to find someone else with the same quirk.

Awesome! I'm also going through somewhat of a regression period, haha. I think it has to do with all the academic required reading in high school. I'm twenty-one, myself, and I've just joined the other day. Welcome :D

Hi, teacake!

I'm new as well. I also love reading YA fiction! I tutor middle schoolers, so I need to have a large array of recs on hand to keep them reading. The attention span of the 21st century tween is not the longest. Ha, ha.

Hope to be seeing you around here,
Anna

Greetings and welcome to the watercooler :welcome:

Take a wander around the various forums, there's lots to see and lots to learn, and even some fun threads too. Come along and pop on over to the Newbie Pub (at the top of the Newbie forum) and say hi, there's plenty of friendly faces that you can chat with and lots of banter. There's also the Question of the Day threads at the top of the Newbie forum where you can answer random questions.

Don't forget to read the newbie guide, and if you want to know what all the buttons mean check out this thread.
