Introduce yourselves here! Tell us who you are, what your favorite books are, and anything else you'd like to tell us!

I'll start.

Hi. My name is Ashley and I am an avid book reader. I love almost every genre of books, but my favorites are paranormal, steampunk, fantasy, and modernized fairy tales (like Cinder).

Haha, being lazy is always fun!


message 4: by Laura (new)

Laura (blueeyebooks) Hi I'm Laura! I'm pretty much a book fanatic and will read pretty much anything (except for non-fiction :P) someone recommends :) I can't wait to make new friends in this group! @Abigail you are seriously like my clone...


message 5: by Tachi (new)

Tachi I'm a Directioner that loves to discover new bands and kinds of music. Jared is the book bad boy that stole my heart. I love manga and anime and ever since I learned how to ride a bike a few months ago, biking. YA is the main genre that I'm ever going to read. Kurosaki+Teru, Jared+Mina, Nora and Scotty FOREVER!! *smoke cloud*


message 6: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer Hey, everyone!! I'm Jennifer!
I always say if I'm not reading I'm not happy. I love sitting in my reading chair and starting an adventure. Whether I'm riding a dragon or fighting villains or just falling in love. All over again.
I'm one of those 'grown-ups' who never really grew up and will always enjoy YA books.
I look forward to passionately discussing new books with equally passionate people who understand the power of a paperback.
Thank you for allowing me to join your book club.

Welcome Jennifer!! You seem like a really fun kind of grown up^^ That's how I'm gonna be when I grow up since I haven't matured that much from childhood


message 8: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer Thanks!! Can't guarantee I've matured all that much, but being a grown-up has some perks- I'm having ice cream for dinner.
I can't wait til the end of the month so we can vote on a book.

I can't wait either. This is going to be my first time actually running the discussions! I'm so excited.


message 10: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer Well, I'm not picky when it comes to books. I'm happy to explore a new one or sit down with an old friend I've read a dozen times.

Berglind Lilja Hi! My name is Berglind and I'm from Iceland. I've been in a reading slump recently so I need your help to get me out of it!

Welcome!! We'll be glad to help


message 13: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer I hate those slumps. It'll be a hot minute before we vote on January's book, but if you can't wait (like me) a short story has been put on the boards.
Don't forget the suggestion box. The longer the list of books the better.
Welcome to the book club!


message 14: by Berglind Lilja (new)

Berglind Lilja Thanks, I'll check it out :)

The problem with living in Iceland is that Icelandic teens don't read much so finding YA or teen books in Icelandic bookstores or libraries can be tricky. Also shipping is expensive...

There's always the Ebook option. Also, I'm tying to get most of the short stories to be the ones available online for free so anyone can access them. :)


message 16: by Katherine (new)

Katherine (katheranne) | 20 comments Hey, I'm Katherine! I obviously love reading, as well as writing (not that I have much time for it anymore :/), music, good movies/tv, and gymnastics. And I'm about to start my last semester of architecture school - that generally sucks up my entire life, so hopefully I'll be able to stay involved once that happens!


message 17: by Katherine (new)

Katherine (katheranne) | 20 comments Oh and as far as genres go. I'll read anything good, but my favorites are historical fiction and fantasy - especially both at once!


message 18: by Ashley, Discussion Leader (new)

Ashley Day | 185 comments Mod
Architecture. Wow that's so awesome!


message 19: by Katherine (new)

Katherine (katheranne) | 20 comments Ha yeah - I'm hoping it'll continue to be awesome once I graduate and have to find a job!
