Hey all! I'm one of the moderators here at The Page Turners (I'm actually the creator of the group!). If you have any questions for me, then this is the place to ask. I promise I won't bite!

I'm Olivia. I'm currently in high school. Obviously I love to read, and sometimes I try to write, but usually give up about halfway through a story. One day, I hope to be an an author, but right now, I'm pretty content with reading every book that I can get my hands on! I love dystopian and fantasy, but I read almost every genre.

A few people refer to me by my nickname, Liv. I play the piano and ride horses. I'm terrified of spiders and roller coasters. In real life I can be really outgoing, especially around new people (I have been known to scare a few). I've also been told that I talk way too fast. I have a strange obsession with public speaking! I'm a perfectionist. I'm obsessed with the appearance of my bookshelf. I feel the need to reorganize them constantly.

I also post reviews consistently on Goodreads, which can be viewed on my profile.

A few of my favorite books/series:
Harry Potter
The Infernal Devices
The Mortal Instruments
Divergent
Delirium
The Hunger Games
The Book Thief
(I have many more, but I don't think you'd want to read a list that long)

Songs I'm currently obsessed with:
Safe and Sound - Taylor Swift
Harry Potter in 99 Seconds - Jon Cozart
Guys Like Potter - A Very Potter Sequel Cast
I Would - One Direction
Marry You - Bruno Mars
They Don't Know About Us - One Direction
We Are Young - Fun
Just Give Me a Reason - Pink ft. Nate Reuss

Favorite movies:
Harry Potter
The Hunger Games
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Les Miserables
City of Bones

Fave foods:
Pasta
Strawberries
Cantaloupe
Candy Raspberries (kudos to anyone who has actually tried them)
Caesar Salad
(this is making me hungry...)

Sports:
I only horseback ride.

TV Shows
The Big Bang Theory
Dance Moms
Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition
Scrubs
(I actually don't watch that much TV)

There are some random facts about me. Any questions? Comments?

[Sparkle]

What do your dogs look like?

[Olivia]

[Kathy]

Soo cute :)

[Olivia]

Thanks! This was from Christmas. The really tiny one is Sparkle and the bigger one is Molly

[Olivia]

Well, I haven't been very good about writing reviews recently, but, in the future, I plan to write one after pretty much every book I read.

[Olivia]

About 9 years

[Katie]

Did you see the new Les Mis movie?

[Olivia]

I'm going to see it this afternoon!

[Katie]

I hope you like it. I loved it. I cried through the entire ending.

[Olivia]

The ending was so sad! I loved it, though, from the very beginning.

[Katie]

I'm glad you loved it. I love the music and the story, and basically just the whole thing. And I love to sing all the songs.

[Olivia]

The songs were amazing! I've already decided to purchase the soundtrack.

[Katie]

I was thinking of getting the soundtrack too. I was listening to all of the samples yesterday.

[Alyssa]

Jack Harris <3 he is super cute! but I think Finn is cuter still, but more quiet obviously

[Olivia]

Yeah, I feel like Finn's okay, but he would have to grow on me. I like Jack's outgoing nature and his humorous side.

Oh, thank you. She actually isn't my horse, just one that I ride routinely.

Emma wrote: "you ride horses??? thats so cool"

Yes, I've been riding for about 9 years.

[Olivia]

No, I haven't.

Thanks!

Arial wrote: "Do you ride competitively or just for fun?"

I ride competitively during the warmer months and focus simply on improving my riding during the winter.

Andy wrote: "Do you have your own horse?"

No, unfortunately.

[Olivia]

I would prefer not to say, although I am in high school.

[Olivia]

I had been wanting to start a group here on Goodreads for awhile, but I had no idea what the purpose of the group should be. I waited for a few months, hoping a brilliant idea would suddenly come to me, but nothing did. It was only after about two years of being a member on Goodreads that I decided to start a "book club" group. I wanted to share my love of reading with fellow members, who surely had some of the same interests that I did. And that was how The Page Turners got started.

[Kate]

How was Delirium? I read the first one & got mad & never finished. Should I pick the series back up?

[Olivia]

I really liked the ending of Delirium, and, consequently, Pandemonium as well. I would recommend giving the book a second shot. Even though it has a bit of a slow start, the plot begins to pick up toward the end of the book.

[Kate]

Delirium? Yeah. I meant; it was good, but I mad that
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!








what's his face dies.

[Olivia]

So am I! I stayed up until 4 in the morning to finish Delirium and cried for an hour straight after I finished the book. Have you read Pandemonium? It left me with the sense that Lauren Oliver enjoys torturing here readers with heartbreaking endings.

[Samantha]

I have a little puppy named Molly :D

[Olivia]

Aww, what breed is she?

[Samantha]

when I got her they said that she was a teacup chihuahua but now I'm thinking she might be mixed with something.

[Olivia]

That's cute! How long have you had her?

[Samantha]

I got her in October. She's 5 months old ^_^

[Olivia]

Aww!

[Samantha]

Yesss :D and she's spoiled rotten!! She sleeps on top of me and everything. :P

[Olivia]

Haha. I could say the same about my dogs. I'm constantly being pushed off the couch, or even out of my own bed.

[Samantha]

Lol :P I love spoiling my dogs ^_^
