Introductions!
Hi Everyone! I'm Tasha, I live in Kent, UK and work in London as a Learning and Development Manager. I will read pretty much anything (especially if it's something in a genre I've not read much of before!) currently reading Women Who Run With Wolves. Excited to be part of this book club! :)
Hello everyone! This looks very exciting :) My name is María and I am from Madrid (Spain). I love all type of books, but I must admit I have a soft spot for historical novels and fantasy!
Hi all, my name's Rhiannon and I'm from Wales. Obviously I love to read but my boyfriend would say I actually love buying books more (my TBR list is so out of control!!!) I read all sorts and love the idea of this book club as things like this are a big help in varying what you read. Currently reading Rachel Joyce's The Music Shop.
Hello everyone. I'm Annemette from Copenhagen, Denmark, and I'm so excited to meet you all and join this book club. I read as much as possible, but with a 2-year old and a job, it can sometimes be hard to find as much time as I want to. I read almost anything, as long as it is well written, but I have a soft spot for the classics, and am currently reading Women in Love by D.H Lawrence. Looking foreward to continue my reading adventures alongside all you book lovers!
Hi everyone!I'm Rachmi from Indonesia. I just read Cordelia's email from The Book Fairies so I thought I should join the group here too :)
I love reading since I was a little and read mostly everything, I try to stay away from horror story though. My favorite genre is fantasy and JRR Tolkien and Neil Gaiman are among my favorite authors.
I'm currently reading a Neil Gaiman anthology called Trigger Warning and enjoy it so far.
My name is Beth and I recently gained my book fairy wings and started hiding books around the Harrogate/Knaresborough area. Looking forward to discussing different books, I've been a member of a few book clubs in the past and loved hearing different views or points that I hadn't picked up on. Looking forward to the first book. I voted The tenant of wildfell hall 🙂
Hello everyone. I'm Veronica LaChapelle but everyone calls me Ronnie. I live in Woodbridge VA. I am a book lover through and through and although I own a kindle and an iPad I still go to the library and book stores because there is nothing at all like holding a book in your hand. I'm so happy to be joining this book club.
Hi guys!I'm Kath. I'm from the Philippines but currently living here in Germany. I blog at http://kath-reads.com and on my IG (@kath_reads). My go to genres are YA/contemporary and thriller/mystery. Aside from reading, I love journaling and crocheting.
Happy to be here and hope to meet you all.
Hello everyone! My name is Laurie, 44 yrs old, and I am beyond excited to be part of a book club! My daughter, Ashley, signed up yesterday so it's great that we have something to share as well. I live close to Galveston, Texas & have been an avid reader since I learned to speak. Some of the authors I enjoy are Nora Roberts/JD Robb, Melody Beattie, Janet Evanovich, Stephen King & Laurel Hamilton to name a few. I cannot wait for new suggestions & to finally be part of my people 😊

Hi Everyone, I'm Karen from Worcestershire in England. I love reading but am very slow to finish a book as I don't get much time to read. My favourites are usually crime novels, but I read all sorts of stuff.
Hello everyone! My name is Erika and I'm from Puerto Rico. I'm a librarian and I enjoy any book with a life lesson, and also non-fiction literature like mythology, history and languages.
I'm also starting to read poetry (mainly in Spanish. Recommendations are welcome!).
Hello Everyone, My name is Malin, and I am a bookworm from, and currently based in the south of Sweden. I usually read a little of everything but decided a while ago to read more classics. Being in the final stages as a master student I mostly read when I have the time which usually is less than I would wish. I love to find new good books, but also have the habit of rereading a few of my favourite books, every now and then.
Hello, everyone! I'm Allisha from Los Angeles, California. I'm a bookfairy that drops books around the South Bay area, my instagram @leesheethebookfairy. My genre of book choices go from non-fiction that reads like fiction (health care/medicine like the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, or a Malcom Gladwell type), I also read a lot of Christian/Spirituality like a good Rob Bell or CS Lewis book. I've recently tried classics, American literature, books that you've read in school (didn't grow up here), recently poetry, and now trying fiction novels - I know really late in the game. Oh! I also read a lot of cookbooks and travel guidebooks (they're books too!) It's nice meeting you all!
Hey all , I am annette from India .

Hey ya! Book fairy from Alta, Norway here :) My favourite genres are Fantasy and Crime Fiction. Favourite books The Slow Regards of Silent Things, Gwendy's Button Box and anything really by Neil Gaiman, The Art of Asking by Amanda Palmer, The Red House by Mark Haddon, Howl's Moving Castle. To mention some :)
Hello, Ellen here! *waves* I live in the beautiful islands of Orkney, Scotland, I often try drop books around the island despite the wet, windy and difficult Scottish weather! Things I love to read: magic, murder, mystery, historical fiction - well, any fiction, classics, quirkiness, and my 'book-learning' reads where I learn about etymology or how a bird's brain works. Adore children's fiction and becoming a fan of YA. Not keen on romance, vampires, or vampire romances. Not keen on sci-fi or horror, so a book about aliens in a haunted house is out. I take that back, it sounds awesome.
PS: I love the diversity of the group already, folk from all around the world, it's brilliant. Can't wait to get to know all you Book Fairies more...
Hi, I'm Julia, I'm an author and I live on the river Thames in Bray, about 20 miles SW of London. I love reading middle grade children's fiction and cozy mysteries. I review kids fiction on my website and adult stuff on BBC Berkshire Book Club. I usually have three books on the go - one by the bed, one in my handbag and one on my phone. I like to mix up the children's stuff with village mysteries and the odd classic. My favourite books ever are Stig of The Dump, The Little White Horse, Middle March & Anna Karenina.
Hey everyone! I didn't see that coming!! This is so great, I already love this bookclub to the worlds end for I'm a proud bookfairy since march and I use goodreads on a daily basis.
So, my name's Becky and I'm living in Munich, Germany. My taste in books is pretty comprehensive but currently I'm into reading dystopian and fantasy classics.
Lovely to meet y'all! xx
Hiya! I'm Sarah. I'm from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, US. I am a book addict. I mostly read YA, fantasy, urban sci-fi/fantasy (Dresden files, etc) and 19th century British lit, so I'm super excited to read the Tenant of Wildfell Hall because it's been on my list for a while!
Hello! My name is Hanna, I live in NYC, and I am the official New York Book Fairy! I love reading; mostly non fiction and personal essays. My favorite book is Just Kids by Patti Smith. I am also writing my first book - a fictionalized memoir about mental health, grief, and healing. I am a spoken word performer and like telling stories at shows around the city. Also I love dogs way way way too much. Is there such thing as too much? Or maybe it's not enough...
Sarah, hi! I'm currently in Cape Cod! We're from PA but have a house on mid Cape that we vacation every year! I'm currently reading Lesser Evils by a local author that is a noir fiction novel about the Cape. Your hometown is lovely and is one of my top three places in the world.

I love reading and I love books :) I really do enjoy fiction (Fantasy, historical, classic literature, Horror, Crime, ...) but also non fiction (mostly history related topics).

Hello everyone! I'm Samantha, and I currently live in Georgia, USA. I read a lot of historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, and pretty much anything else that catches my interest. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to read near as much as I would like to because of my job and everything that I've had to do outside of working hours for it, but I'm always on the lookout for more books. Looking forward to our first book!
