I love fantasy, sci-fi and romance, as well as a good crime fiction. I thoroughly enjoyed participating in round 6 of rybsat, because I managed to take 2 (big) books off of my tbr shelf. So happy to be in this group!

Currently, I'm attending college in Iowa, and I'm majoring in English and Psychology as well as minoring in film studies.

Hello everyone :) My name is Katharina I'm 19 years old and live in Germany. Currently I'm in my second year of university and I'm studying medicine.
The series that got me into reading was Harry Potter and I'm trying to read more which is kind of difficult because of university. Nevertheless I got more into Mangas this year and I also really enjoy YA fantasy books.

Nice to meet so many new people!

Hi everyone...
I'm Amanda from California. Found you guys through JessicaRose's booktube channel. Had to sign up when I saw you were reading Shadow & Bone this month. I'll read just about anything and have recently gotten more into fantasy, especially YA fantasy. I usually have a couple books going at once. Really looking forward to talking books with you all! :)

Hi everyone :)

I'm Nikki and I am 31 (for another month!) and I live in the Wirral in the UK (just across the river from Liverpool)
I've been using goodreads for a long time now. I found this group as I follow Jess on twitter
I've been meaning to join for a while now and promised myself I would do the November read. I don't really have a genre that I stick to, I just read whatever takes my fancy and I usually have a number of books on the go at any given time!
Looking forward to enjoying new books with new people :)

I'm Rosie, I live in the US and I think RBYSAR is a cool idea.

Wow not much to it...

Hello! My name's Deanna, I'm 21 from Melbourne. Last year I realised I wanted to get back into reading so I started making booktube videos on YouTube. I don't know what's happened but I haven't been reading as much recently. This year I'm going to studying Business Administration so I can get a job and focus on getting my laptop fixed and jumping back into the YouTube world :D

Hi all! I'm a bit late to the goodreads group but I'm pretty active on twitter during RYBSAT :)
Nice to meet you all!

My name is Taja, 22, and I am from Slovenia but I currently study in Scotland at a university.

2015 wasn't a good reading year for me unfortunately, so much was happening that I somehow waned off the habit of reading which made me quite sad. I'm hoping 2016 will be different - I think rybsat is a great start to a year that might help me get back to my usual reading speed.

Hi everyone! I am Petra and I am from the Czech Republic. I am 23 and this year I am going to finish my university studies! After that I should be a teacher of English and Civics :) and of course, I love reading <3

Hey guys! Not sure why it took me until almost the end of RYBSAT, but here goes...

My name is Angel. I'm 26 currently living in New York, but originally from New Hampshire..

My RYBSAT to-be-read list for my FIRST ROUND EVER is mostly manga and graphic novels. They're a quick read and will make me feel pretty successful when it comes to wrap-up time, but I think that's just what i need for my first reading challenge/readathon for 2016!

Also, I see some familiar faces so I'm LiaBooks over on YouTube, jurassicmeow or myfoxsocks elsewhere.. <3

Nice to meet you all :)
