Hello lovely book people!My name is Leigh Ann. I'm 27 years of age, have a BA in Art (graphic design) and journalism. I work for a Newspaper and make stories look pretty on paper.
Reading has been such a huge part of my life. My best friend really lit the reading fire in me when we were in middle school and I've been obsessed ever since.
There isn't really a specific genre that I prefer over others, I love reading new things and exploring new books worlds.
I'm excited to be here! :)
Hello (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) My name is Alex, I'm 17 and I'm from Malta. I'm studying English & French. I'm just about to start reading Shelley's "Frankenstein", and the last book I finished was Madeline Miller's "The Song of Achilles" (I absolutely adored it! (´• ω •`) ♡ )
Hi, I'm Chikodi. I'm from Nigeria. I just graduated from the university where I studied Chemical Engineering. I currently work at a fin tech company. I've always been a book and movie lover. I'm partial to romance and thriller novels and sci-fi movies. I've had my goodreads account for a really long time but I have never posted anything on here. I'm trying to get more involved....so here's to widening my horizon :)

Hi everyone! My name is Sean, although, as an Amazon refugee, I was known as '4thEarl'.
I really could not name my favorite book, film or musical artist/band because it all depends what mood I am in? Perhaps the mood I find myself in is dictated by the book/film/music I am currently enjoying? I'm a keen photographer, but I'm somewhat lazy about it! In fact, I could apply that logic to a lot of things!
It's nice to meet you all!

Hello Alex!
'Frankenstein' is a truly fantastic classic novel, especially if you have a vivid imagination like mine? I'm not sure if you know or if it's in the introduction, but apparently the idea for 'Frankenstein' came to Shelley after the baby she gave birth to, sadly died. She placed the baby in front of the fire and apparently, the baby looked as if it may just wake up! Sad, eh?
Anyway, enjoy the book!

Hello! My name is Sarah. I'm 17 and I'm from Dublin, Ireland. I'm currently in my final year of secondary school. I'm not reading anything at the moment but I've just ordered a copy of The Wrath and the Dawn by Renée Ahdieh, so I'll be reading that next. The most recent addition to my list of favourite movies is Call Me By Your Name which I watched a few weeks ago and absolutely loved.
Howdy!I'm Sarah (sayrawww). ASL? 28/F/Austin, TX
I've been a member of Goodreads for a few years or so, however this is the first group that I've ever joined. I was involved in a book club, Liquorature, with two of my closest girlfriends and it was my most precious monthly treasure, but unfortunately we have slowly dispersed, and I've been looking to fill my gaping heart hole ever since! I love discussing literature and film, and I think this group will be the perfect fit! I studied film in school and earned an associates degree in RTF-Radio-Television-Film, and now, five long years later, I'm finally starting school again this May to complete my Bachelors degree. However, I've changed career passions and I have changed my degree plan..I have never lost passion for creating, watching, or discussing film though, and I am very much looking forward to discussing current reads, TV/ movies, and all the feels. :-)
Hi, I am Pavan. I am 24 and currently living in Phoenix, Arizona. I am not an avid reader yet but really want to be one but I am a big movie buff. I recently started reading 'Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind' and i think till now it is amazing!
Hi! I’m Cecilia, currently in Boston. I’ve always loved reading, but have been getting addicted to forcing myself to read a book once I see it’s being made into a movie or tv show I want to see. It’s always fun to see what’s different between the two. Unfortunately, most of my friends only ever see the movie so I’m left discussing the differences alone! Haha.
I have my BA in English Literature & Political Science & my masters in Law & Public Policy. So obviously, I love reading. I tend to gravitate towards depressing fiction, music memoirs, and thrillers. I’ve been out of school for a couple years & realize I miss discussing what I’m reading, so I figured I’d give this a shot. Oh & I’m 28.
sup everyone! i'm fresI love watching movies and reading books (what a shock hohoho)
I'd love to discuss the difference between book and movie/tv show adaptations of books i'm in into with y'all.
Hi I'm Caz and read as much as my life allows me too. I love thrillers, murder mysteries and horrors most but will read anything as long as it grips me. I average probably 2 books a month depending on life commitments, etc. Always ready to receive recommendations and love hearing others opinions as long as they don't mind hearing mine xxx
Hi! I am new! I am from MN, USA and am an avid reader! I like mostly fiction and mostly mystery/thrillers, but also like sci-fi, fantast, dystopian, post apocalyptic, and chick lit! I love reading and watching movies based on books. I teach Special Education, garden, love my cats and love craft breweries. I am not new to goodreads, but new to the social aspect of it since I have given up facebook for a while. My current fave authors are Frederik Backman and Liane Moriarty. I am on a library book reading binge and am on the waiting list for "Red Sparrow". Fun fact, instead of going on FB and watching TV I have stopped doing both (since about 2/17/18) and with my spare time I have read 32 books!!
Other fun fact: I kind of hoard books
Hi!I'm Ynon,
I'm 15 , Israeli and I've loved reading since I remember myself. I love fantasy books that have complex worlds( currently in love with the dark tower) and comedy books. just discovered goodreads and hope to meet some good people!
Hey guys! I'm Luís from Brazil. I'm 24yo and I'm an architect. I enjoy reading and watching movies and I was looking for a group that could stimulate me doing both things. Sometimes we get swallowed by day-by-day life, and it's hard to keep track of things you really enjoy. I hope I can make new friends and grow my knowledge in both matters. Feel free to add me anytime!
Hola, Luis! I've been watching a crime thriller series from Brazil via Walter Presents called Merciless. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4050554/?...
hello hello, I am Mel and am from Perth, Australia. I work full time and have 2 little delinquents ... I mean children ... so not much time for much else. I manage to squeeze in reading any and all types of books, ranging from biographies and non fiction about Sydney prostitutes and electroshock therapy to the the ever mind numbing YA pop fiction. Something that i both enjoy and dislike is watching movies based on books and willing myself to ignore discrepancies and just enjoy the ride.
Hello, I'm Fatimah. I live in Richmond, Virginia. I like to read YA and Fantasy books. Though I just got into reading, I get through 2 books in 1 week!! I am currently in 8th grade and I love performing magic and solving Rubik's Cubes.
Hi - I'm Leslie from Vancouver, Canada. I love reading and movies ... and like thinking about the choices made when adapting a book to a movie. I also like travelling, wine and walking with my cocker spaniel Pippa. Im looking forward to the discussion about Annihilation. Cheers!
Hi everyone! I'm Alexis and I live in Ontario, Canada. I recently got my degree in Mechanical Engineering and have recently rediscovered reading to supplement my Netflix addiction.
Hiya,I'm Laura, I'm 24, I'm a UI designer and I live in Ireland. I hope to go back to college soon to get a History degree and work as a museum curator. I'm very introverted and find it hard to make new friends. I'm vegan and an animal activist. I also play guitar and cello for 12 years :)
I absolutely adore reading, mainly YA, Fantasy and Historical Fiction / Non-Fiction. I look forward to being part of this group! :)
Hello everyone! My name is Nora I'm 18 living in the USA, I'm from Cambodia but was adopted as a baby. I'm planning to apply to college next year. I love to read really any books! My favorites are novels related to Physics, Grace Lin stories, or ones that typically keep me engaged. I haven't always been a fast reader, more of a methodical one. But I love to read and watch movies a lot. I am currently reading a book called Girls Who Code and I'm also reading George's Secret Key To The Universe by Stephen Hawking and Lucy Hawking. I was interested in this group because I think it might help get my reading back up to speed.
Hello everyone! I'm Nina and I live in Germany. I obviously love books and after a long break I'm kinda going back into reading more. I look forward to talk about books & movies with you guys!
Hi, I'm Frances, from Sydney Australia. I love hearing people's opinions and thoughts about movies and books - this group sounds great! I don't really have a favourite genre as such, I'm willing to try anything! But what I do enjoy is good characters and 'art' that shines a light or reflects how we are as people. (Btw, I think movies and book qualify as art.)
Cheers to all!
Hi folks. I'm Sree Ganesh, a daydreaming 19-year old from Chennai, India. I love books, movies and music. Apart from that, I'm more into quizzing and singing. Although I'm new to Goodreads, my love affair with books started when I was in my 3rd Grade. Whenever I am at leisure, I 'Binge-Read' a lot. I'm a big-time Elon Musk fan, so I try to read one book per day like him and to be honest, I'm a bit successful in that.Though I like to explore all the genres, I love reading the Classics, a lot of Sci-fi, a little bit of Thriller and a few Biographical stories. Hoping to have meaningful discussions on this forum!
Hi, I'm David from Jakarta, Indonesia. Recently, I just published my first sci-fi novel in Amazon, titled EXPERIMENTUM. If you're interested in science fiction, I have made a new original story. You can see the Amazon link below:

Looking at these posts, I feel that I might be a bit of a 'senior section' member of this club! I studied German at University (many moons ago) and am currently dividing my time between working as an Independent Film Producer and studying for an MA in Creative Writing. I have a passion, therefore, for both films and books so that's why I'm here.
I don't remember if I've posted or not so here goes!My name is Ashlea, but I like Ash better. I'm 25, married and have a 4 year old son. We have a dog named Primrose (After Primrose Everdeen of course)
I also have a book blog if anyone wants to check it out!
I work at a dog boarding and training center.
I live in Texas!
I love everything geeky, makeup, camping, reading, video games, board games.
My favorite book/movies are horror, thriller, apocalyptic, dystopian, mystery, sci-fi and fantasy.
I love zombies a lot.
So feel free to add me, talk to me, whatever. Let's be friends :D
Hello, I'm Maria and from Ireland. Complete read and movie addict - just not good at being social. :) Very geeky aswell. 'Hi' to everyone else in the group.
Hi I'm Kenna. I'm not going to tell you where I'm from. I Iove reading pretty much any YA books (my all time favorite book is Simon Vs The Homosapien Agenda) and of course I love to watch movies and TV, especially if it's based off a book (and written well).
Hi, everyone. I'm Andrea, and I'm from Nicaragua. I've had a goodreads account since a very long time but it wasn't until now that I'm getting to know how this app works.
