I was thinking, since this is a new group, that we could start by introducing ourselves to each other.
E.g. you could write a bit about yourself (but only if you feel comfortable about it), your favorite color or your favorite book(s).


My name is Betina, I'm 19 (soon to be 20), and I'm from Denmark. I have, for as long as I can remember, enjoyed reading, and I still do. My favorite books would be; The Hunger Games Trilogy, and a Danish series called "The Shamer series" (Skammer-serien in Danish)

I hope you will like this group! :)

Christine Feldman Hi! My name is Christine, I'm 37, and I live in the Pacific Northwest. I love reading AND writing in multiple genres, and right now I'm reading Beautiful Disaster by Laura Spinella. I teach kindergarten by day (got some interesting stories there...) and write fiction at night. I'm relatively new to Goodreads, so I'm still learning my way around, but I am definitely a book addict, so I am looking forward to participating in this group. Some of my favorite books include, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hunger Games Trilogy, The Coldfire Trilogy--and there are way too many others to list here.

Doctor Who Fan I♥♥DW | 5 comments I keep my name a secret on the internet, but I'm 14, I live in the North-East of America, my favorite t.v. show is (obviously) the British show Doctor Who. My favorite color is blue, I'm obsessed with dolphins, my favorite authors are Tamora Pierce, Jim Butcher, J. R. Tolkien, Rick Riordan, Sherrilyn Kenyon, and James Patterson.

Mohammad Shah (exeldex) | 1 comments My name is Mohammad, i am 15, a canadian and (obviously due to my being in this group) a book fan/addict. I love reading, sleeping, eating, exercising (until recently i hated it. I still dislike sports, however i go to the gym and exercise with weights.), having random philosophical debates with my friends, playing video games (super smash bros, legend of zelda), and writing (I am currently writing a novel, i recently deleted it so I could try again with more preparation. I worked on it for four years (scince i was 11). I can speak 4 different languages however, only read in one: english, french, urdu, and latin. I learned latin in school because it,seemed cool then i continued learning it, i had to learn french because it is one of Canada's official languages, and i speak urdu because my bavkground is Pakistani. My favourite books are lord of the rings, harry potter series, Narnia series,the hunger games series, Divergent, etc. mostly fantasy however i read many books.

message 19: by Bela (new)

Bela Chandio (belachandio) | 3 comments Hii Everyone!! Actually Bela is my pet name and it has been since i was born, even before Stephnie ever thought of writing Twilight so it's my OWN name (always have to clarify that :P) I have loved reading since childhood and plan on spending my entire summer engrossed in awesome books ;. I'm 16 and my absolute favorite series are Harry Potter, Hunger Games and Demon Trappers. And yeah, Narnia too!! I'm currently reading, or rather skimming through The Immortals which is proving to be very boring and pathetic :(. And that's that, i guess. :)

Hi! I'm Maria and my books are my most precious possessions! I love Fantasy, Sci-fi, Historical, and Adventure, but I'll read anything.

Weolcome Maria :) nice to meet you

I really like fantasy too :) what are your most favorite book(s) ?


message 37: by Mara (new)

Mara (maraanne) Hello, I'm Mara, and I am an unashamed bookworm. ;) Yeah, this is starting to sound like a bookworm's anonymous introduction.

Anyway, I'm a big fan of historical fiction, Victorian mysteries, fairytale retellings, time travel, and classics. But I'll read pretty much anything that is clean and has no vampires (werewolves I will make an exception for if they're awesome). I am a Sherlockian, and that is the only fandome I'll admit to belonging to (aside from Snicketeer). I am a writer, a book critic, a professional Irish fiddler, and a volunteer librarian for almost nine years now (and am just waitint for a paying position to open).

And I'm a blogger! Check it out:

message 38: by Lacey (new)

Lacey Hi! My name is Lacey and I'm from South Dakota. I love reading! I read more than I watch tv in fact. I juggle about 3 or 4 books at the same time! lol! I enjoy science fiction, YA, Contemporary. Just about anything really, except non fiction, I have trouble reading that. I have quite a few favorite books, I'd have to say I really enjoyed reading The One and Only Ivan a few months ago.

Laura | 156 comments Hey there 
My name is Laura. I’m 15 years old, and from Denmark. I LOVE books, and like Sabrine I bring a book everywhere, I’ve also brought books to birthday parties.
My parents are divorced, but that just mean I get to have 3 bookcases :P ( I started out with 2, but had to buy one more for my room at my mom’s place.. Now there aren’t much space left in my 8 m2 room xp )
I buy all my books on an English website, because books a damn expensive in Denmark -.-
I got a lot favorite books, but I really like Bloodlines by Richelle Mead (y)
