message 15: by angie (new)

angie (angieinexile) Hello everyone! So glad to be joining a new group!
My name's Angela and I'm from Italy. I'm turning 20 soon and will also graduate from high-school in a few months. I'm studying tourism, which I enjoy so much! I read in both English and Italian and this comes in handy because if a book doesn't get published in Italian I can always read it in English! I can even choose the best edition cover-wise (sorry not sorry :P) My favourite genres are fantasy, dystopian and historical fiction, but I actually read everything.

Tara (tartartar) Hi Everyone! I'm Tara! I'm 21 and from Australia. I'm in my last year of psychology and I'm not sure I'll be able to participate a lot but I will try. I've felt a big disconnect with YA recently (maybe I'm getting too old for it? who knows) so it might be nice to branch out with this book club. I am opinionated though so I don't like a book you will certainly know it! Other than reading I like sports, travelling, nature and my dogs.

I'm Arpita. I'm 19 and from India. I'm a student of English Literature. I didn't find anyone from my country in this group, yet I'm thrilled to be part of it, everyone here is so friendly and welcoming. I love lions literally(not because I'm a LEO myself) since as long as I can remember. Even the first book I read was about a lion named Hari.
Since then, I'm extremely fascinated by the magnificent creature and I hope to own a few of them in future too(well some dreams are truly wild). Thus, the name of THIS group itself made me join in.
