message 69: by Marie (new)

Marie (fyeahmarie) | 135 comments Hello! My name is Marie and thank you for letting me join your group. I live in Orlando, FL (born in Manila, Philippines) and I have many likes/dislikes that would be too extensive to get into here.

I'm currently reading The Different Girl (which I won in a Goodreads giveaway) and The Artemis Effect. I read a little bit of everything but I enjoy fantasy novels the most. I also love character-driven stories and strong female protagonists.

I love books and movies, and I'm super critical about books that are turned into films (I have a hard time separating the two and inevitably compare the film to its source material).

I'm into indie music, with occasional guilty pleasures thrown in. My favorite band is The Beatles.

I'm looking forward to interacting with you all!

Hi Marie and welcome to the group. Have you found that you generally enjoy the books more than the films. Anyway, I'm jack and I'm the group's moderator. If you have any questions just ask.


message 71: by Jack, Founder (new)

Jack (jack_) | 2831 comments Mod
Oh yeah, and we also have our polls for our monthly read, movie and music and our quarterly read up if you'd like to vote Marie. :)


message 72: by Marie (new)

Marie (fyeahmarie) | 135 comments I almost always prefer the book(s) to the film(s). But if I see the movie before I read the book, it's a toss-up.

Thanks for telling me about the polls, I'll be sure to check them out.

Peach (peachst) | 68 comments Welcome Marie! I have family in Orlando, and I lived there for a while too. Right about now, I am missing the warm weather.


message 74: by Marie (new)

Marie (fyeahmarie) | 135 comments We had a cold snap for like two days and now it's back to 70s/80s again. As much as I enjoy this warm weather I love winter clothing (go figure) so it'd be nice to actually wear coats/scarves/sweaters once in a while :)


message 75: by Peach (new)

Peach (peachst) | 68 comments My wardrobe had to undergo a serious overhaul when we moved to Montana. I didn't even have a winter coat:)

Ohdie Whoa Hello everyone!
Name: call me Ina (ee-na)
Home- South Florida, USA
Likes- Cold weather, traveling
Your favorite books- I really like YA Dystopian, but then I can do a 180 and go for the romance fluff. I adore Catch 22 and Howls moving Castle.
About me- I'm a student studying aviation and I like to learn about everything. Love to hear stories, awkward in social situations and have very bad grammar/spelling skills. I like to dive and have a sweet tooth.
