Reader's Book Nook discussion

hii my name is zahraa, i’m turning 16 next week, i love fantasy & romance and i’m actually in the process of writing my own book!!

Hi Zahraa! The fact that you are writing your own book is amazing! Would you mind sharing a general idea of it? I'd be really intrested! And thank you for commenting, you are offiacially the first member haha!

And about this discussion:
Here you can introduce yourselves to the other group members in order to learn more about the people in this group. You can find people with similar interests, welcome the new readers and make book friends!

Hello. I am Mare. I run the Fandom group https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...

I love to read, sing, dance. I love NEWT from the maze runner and am in a book hangover form the newly released The Betrayed by Keira Cass. YOu can learn more about me from my profile bio.

hey! i’m madeline (pronounced mad-a-line not madilyn ‘ rhymes with fine line)
i really like classics & contemporary. & occasionally a psychological thriller
some of my favorite books are: ‘the picture of dorian gray’ ‘conversations with friends’ ‘if we were villains’ & ‘rebecca’
if you want to be friends my instagram is @madel1neshea :)

Welcome to both of you! Nice to meet you! I will definetely check your group out, Mare. And I really like your name Madeline! Actually I was thinking of reading "If we were villains" but I have heard some cotroversial reviews. Would you reccomend it?

thank you! i quite like my name as well and yes yes yes! i loved ‘if we were villains’ more than words can convey. it was absolutely mesmerizing. a misconception i keep hearing is that it is written in play format but it isn’t!! it follows theatre students who have play practices and so their dialogue at that given time is in play format but the book as a whole is not written as script, so do not let that scare you off
but yes i loved it a lot !

sounds definetely amazing! I am going to give it a try soon for sure! thank you!

Heyyy!! My name is Miranda, I’m 13yrs old but turning 14 next month, my favorite hobbie is reading but I want to try crocheting and see how it goes, I love making spotify playlists and I spend half of my time listening to Taylor Swift (I love love Taylor). I’m so excited for this summer and I actually created a summer to do list,
if anyone wants inspiration on activities to do this summer you can ask me an I’ll gladly give you some!!!
I also want to say that English is not my native language so if you notice some mistakes in my writing feel free to correct me :)

P.S. I love the name Mare, it reminds me of Red Queen.

Welcome Miranda!! Actually your name reminds me a cookie brand we have in my country haha! Don't worry, reading is neither mine first language but this group is non-judgemental anyway. Hope you have fun here!

Hey my name is Meghan and I’m 14. I usually read ya contemporary romance and ya fantasy but recently I read the manga for Attack on Titan. I love listening to music and making playlists which mostly consist of Harry Styles and Taylor Swift. I’m super excited to talk to you all!

Thanks Eve, I would love to know the name of the cookies and their flavor and see if they have them in my country (I doubt it) I also want to say that there’s a soft drink in my country named Mirinda that also reminds me of my name because everyone keeps calling me that.

Welcome Meghan!! Hope u like it here! Actually I started watching Attack on Titan on laptop recently. I watched the first few episodes but I wasn't so intrested in continuing. How did you like the manga version?

Hey Madeline, I already have “the Picture of Dorian Gray” and “Conversations with Friends” in my tbr but thanks to you I also added “If We Were Villians”
I really want to read more classics and given that it’s one of your favorite genres I was hoping you could give me some good recs :)

The cookies are pronounced like your name. We write it like this "Μιράντα" in greek so if you wrote it in english it would be exaclty the same as yours. I don't think they have an outstanding flavor but I haven't ate them for years. And now they have added some flavors apart from the basic one.
Here is a link for the site: http://papadopoulou.gr/products/biscu...
It's in greek so I don't think you will be able to understand many things but you can see how they look like haha

Hey Meghan!! I’m happy there’s another SwiftIe in this group, what’s your favorite TS song and album? ( you don’t have to mention one song you can mention like 10)

P.S. I would love to listen to one of your playlists, what’s your Spotify user? :)

Hey Eve!! The link doesn’t work but don’t worry I copy pasted the name of the cookies on google and now I know how they look like, thanks!!
I’m also assuming that your native language is Greek given that that’s the name of the cookies, it would be really cool to know what other languages they normally use/teach in your country (besides Greek and English :)

Hey I'm Surya. I love movie soundtracks, books (obviously) and probably the only person in this group without a fantasy TBR pile (yet). I don't have a favorite genre yet and by this point I doubt I'll ever find it. I'm excited to meet you all.

P.S I also love the colour Green

Heyy Alyssa!! I followed you on insta and Snapchat, my insta is @miri_bl and my Snapchat is @miranda_bll if anyone wants to follow me so we can talk about books or common interests :)
This is my Spotify acc/name: Miribl
I only have three public playlists but maybe you’ll like one of them, if anyone wants me to listen to one of their playlists I will gladly do it, just give me your Spotify acc.

First of all welcome Alyssa and Surya! I'm really happy you are here!
My Instagram is @_eva_fot y'all can follow me there as well! I'll add you back just let me know of your username.
Surya, green is also my fav color!!
alyssa, I really hope this group will help you read more and achieve your goal. I appreciate that you accepted the invite as well!
Miranda, about the languages taught at my school, to be honest the education is not very satisfying on foreign languages. We do of course greek and some less hours English (although I didn't learn English from school. School's education on this subject is not enough). So other than that we have the option of either German or French. I've chosen German but I am also learning the language outside school because yet again the education is not enough. What about your school?

hey miranda! love that you’re a swiftie (i am as well) spotify is linked in my bio if you’d like it. i’d love to have yours & as for classics here’s some of my favorites / ones on my tbr that look really good
- summer crossing : truman capote
- the bell jar : sylvia plath
- rebecca : daphne du maurier
- east of eden : john steinbeck
- jane erye : charlotte bronte
- wuthering heights : emily bronte
- the great gatsby : zelda & f scott fitzgerald
- northanger abbey : jane austen
- pride & prejudice : jane austen

hi alyssa! ahh thank u. will be checking yours out as well <3

hi Miranda this is a very difficult question my top songs are probably: august, betty, all too well, cornelia street, i did something bad, no body no crime, getaway car, and new romantics. what are you top favs?

hey Eve the manga was really good, it pieced together a lot more of the elements of the story than the show did.

oh thanks for letting me know Meghan!

Hey Eve, the education on foreign languages in my school isn’t really satisfying either. They teach English and Spanish(my native language) And also a little French, but tbh most of my English accent, grammar,vocabulary,pronunciation,etc. Is thanks to activities I do alone; reading,watching movies or TVshows and talking in English with friends :)

Hey Madeline! Thanks for the recs I’ll add them to my tbr and I hope I’ll be able to read some of them soon.
As for your Spotify acc I already followed you but you can search me as: Miribl and I’ll probably appear.
