[Adrianna]

Hello, my name is Adrianna and I am from Whittier, California.

I've been stuck in the world of James Patterson and Nora Roberts. I joined this website and this book club to help me read something different and so far it's been an enjoyable experience. But I'll always continue to read James Patterson and Nora Roberts, the goal is to read all their books before I die. But I am also ready to be challenged and read other authors and genres as well.

Greetings! I'm Kathryn from Wenatchee WA (3 hours outside of Seattle, right in the middle of the state).

One of my all time favorite books was The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. Two of my favorites for 2012 are The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman and The Art of Hearing Heartbeats by Jan-Philipp Sendker. The lists never ends and continues to grow.

I'll read anything, literally. I guess horror books are my favorite, but I read a lot of non-fiction too, which is why I joined the group--I'm hoping to find more books like, "The Glass Castle."

[Lottie]

[Vernon]

My name is Vernon, I was born and raised in Philadelphia, now I live in LA. I am 20 years old. When I first heard of this book it was through Oprah's web video introduction for her next book for "Oprah 2.0 book club". Being a native of Philadelphia and also being a Homosexual man helps me relate to this story along with the other controversies of the trials and tribulations in this book, it's humanely powerful and I'm sure we all can relate to "The Twelve Tribes of Hattie".

I'm exactly sure why the Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy resonates with me so. I am huge fan of all of the works of Douglas Adams. It was reading his work that inspired me to write, although I have yet to have anything published.

[Vernon]

The type of genres I enjoy are Self help Fiction, Fantasy Fiction Novels are incredible also.
