Sofia (Bookish Wanderess) (sofia-bookishwanderess) | 221 comments Hi !! I am Laura, i'm an 18 years old girl, from Colombia, who studies political science and anthropology, and loves books :)

Some of my favorites book series are:

Harry Potter
The Mortal Instruments
The Infernal Devices
Divergent
Hush Hush
Vampire Academy
The Hunger Games

I am just gonna say a few things about me so you can know me better. Besides loving books, i also love movies and tv show and I have a tumblr dedicated to my obsession with them and it is: delenadance.tumblr.com. I watch too many tv shows including The Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf, Glee, Pretty Little Liars, Hart Of Dixie, Revenge, Once Upon A Time, Grey’s Anatomy, Falling Skies, The Walking Dead, Bunheads, Smash, Jane By Design, The Lying Game, Beauty and The Beast, and Arrow

I love music , all kinds of music from different genres. My favorite female singer is Taylor Swift, my favorite male singer is Ed Sheeran and my favorite band is Florence and The Machine.

I really don't know what else to say, except that if you have any questions about me or about the group, you can ask them here.

Also i am the only moderator for now, but if anyone is interested in being a moderator, you just have to tell me :)

BTW english is not my native language, so i apologies for any mistake!

Thanks for setting up this group and it has become so big! Well done for that. What would you think of possibly doing a few books every month from different genres? It might spark up some interesting debate?

message 36: by Brittany (new)

Brittany Perry | 229 comments Hi I am Britt I think we have discussed books on here before, anyway I just wanted to say this has got to be the best group I am in. You must be very organized because the book of the month was on time and every thing. I have only been a member for a month or so but it seems to me you must work really hard on this group stuff, and someone should say thanks. So thanks, I love chatting in here
