Hi, I'm Whitley from Asheville, NC. I'm a librarian, an archivist, a dj, a sound tech, and a photographer. Somehow, I still find some time to read throughout the day! I'm always looking to branch out from my comfort zone. It's nearly impossible for me to pick a favorite book, but I'll say at the moment it's 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Hi my name is Susan and I love writing just as much as reading. My favorite author is Paulo Coelho and my favorite book is The Alchemist. I am from Los Angeles, Ca. I enjoy listening to audiobooks while driving and actually reading them in my very limited spare time. I am somewhat of a workaholic but I always make time for books.

Hello all. My name is Sarah and I am joining from Balltown, KY. It is not on any map but it does exist ;). My favorite book is Jane Eyre because of the story itself and the ability of the author to hold my attention even though the diction was hard to grasp. My favorite author, however, is either Nicholas Sparks or James Patterson because of the modern reality of the books and the way I can never seem to put their books down!
