[Merilin]

Hi, I'm Merilin, I live in Cardiff, Wales, but I'm estonian. I read pretty much every genre, as long as the topic looks interesting. Recently, I really loved The Power by Naomi Aldermann.

[Mira]

Hello everyone! My name is Mira and I come from Finland. I love to read fantasy and YA. I also read science fiction, but not so often...
A best book is always with a little bit of romance! ;)

[Mary]

Hi, everyone!
I'm Mary, a former English teacher, current librarian, and very excited Book Fairy from North Carolina in the U. S. Books are most definitely my jam. You can typically find me reading YA, Mystery/Thrillers, or something required by my book club, but I will typically read almost anything that isn't romance :) I'm currently reading The Breakdown by B. A. Paris and Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng. I look forward to chatting with you all! Feel free to follow my Book Fairy adventures of IG @lambertm99 and I'll follow you as well!

[Shannon]

Hi there! My name is Shannon and I am from Arkansas, or that is where I am right now anyway. I love to read and always have but have recently been able to pick the passion back up. My sister in law introduced me to good reads so I am making the most of it! I look forward to getting and making some new friends.

[A.C.]

Hello everybody, firstly I'd like to say that I do believe in fairies.

I love to read anything well written that will provide me with ample escapism. My passion is Fanstasy and this is the genre in which I write; although I'm ex-military (Sniper in the British army). My latest work is all about fairies as I believe, the darkest fairytales are those told by the fairies themselves.

Looking forward to bandying some words in this group, :o)

I do believe in fairies, I do, I do!

Welcome welcome. :) I just finished reading An Enchantment of Ravens and now am on a huge faerie and fairies kick. Have you read it? SO GOOD.

[A.C.]

Thank you for the warm welcome. No, I've not read An Enchantment of Ravens, but have now added to my constantly extending reading list. Sounds like my kind of book, thanks for the suggestion.

And I just "checked out" Dylap from Kindle Unlimited. :D Darn ever-growing TBR lists!!!

[A.C.]

I know - too many books, not enough time. Aaaaaagh!

[Andrea]

Hi everyone,

I am Andrea from California. I'm a student at a Community collage and majoring in Psych and English. Just newly changed major. Reading wasn't always fun for me but in High school I learned it was the perfect escape. I love reading thriller and fantasy, historical fiction and others.

[Ayit]

Kumusta mga book lovers! I'm Ayit and I came from Philippines. It would be great to meet a lot of you! i love reading books from Contemporary, to Fantasy, and Sci-Fic. Anything! Anything but Horror Books haha. I have just finished 10 books since November and i can't wait more on what to read! Christmas break from School would a week from now. :)

[Colleen]

Hello all! I'm Colleen from southern Louisiana, and I love and live for fantasy/ YA/NA books! The Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning is my favorite series of all time, and the Court of Thorns and Roses series is a close second. Currently I am reading 'A Poison Dark and Drowining' but I would love recommendations for books or authors!

[Suz]

Hi everyone. I'm Suzanne, from Sydney Australia. I've been leaving books around the place, but as I don't use social media apart from GR (strange I know!) I'm not really doing it properly am I?! I work in a university library and love to read of course. I stumbled across the fairies here on Goodreads and bought a pack, as well as the GR stickers. I love books, libraries and giving books away to anyone that will take them! I thought I'd join the group so - Hi everyone :))

[Emma]

Hello everyone! I'm Emma and I live in Wales (UK). I'm postgraduate specialising in Victorian literature (I'm an H. G. Wells enthusiast!) and it would be lovely to discuss books with others who are passionate about shared reading.

[Hayley]

Hi everyone, I'm Hayley! I'm 24 and I'm from Liverpool, UK! I feel I'm in a bit of a rut at the moment with finding new books to read so I'm really looking forward to finding some new material through this group! I'm not fussy when it comes to what I read really, I love a bit not everything! Especially fantasy, historical fiction and crime/thrillers! I'm currently reading Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo! Also loving the look of this month's read 👌

[Faye]

Hi Everyone,

I am Faye from the UK. I am an indie author with a newly released book and I have just joined the Good Reads community.

I have recently been using bookstagram via Instagram to get some recommendations for new books to read and have joined this group to get some more. I absolutely love reading and I can't wait to get my TBR pile increased after reading these discussion boards!

[Karah]

Hi everyone! My name is Karah, and I'm from Lansing, Michigan in the United States. I love reading a wide variety of genres, but typically find that I'm easily absorbed by fantasy, historical fiction, and young adult lit the most. I currently work as a researcher in digital humanities and literary cognition at a local university. Since I graduated college with my English degree, I have really missed talking to other people about what I'm reading, so I am very much looking forward to tuning into this group!

[✺Zen Orchid ✺]

Hi, I'm Orchid!
I like Mysteries, Psychological Thrillers, Horror, Science-Fiction, Historical-Fiction, and Classics! I like reading for fun and in my free time. I'm from New York.
Hi again and Happy Reading!

Hi! I'm Diana from Barcelona. I love reading historical fiction, especially World War II books, realistic fiction, well I mostly enjoy reading fiction. I am excited to be an active member of this group! :)

[Rowan]

Hello, my name is Rowan Faraday and I am an awfully, horribly, down right dreadfully slow reader, which begs the question, "Why join a book club?" Because, Goodreads suggested it, so I thought I might give it a go. Why this bookclub? Because fairies, the UK, and a discussion of Fahrenheit 451 (one of my all-time favorites). I'm not going to lie, I doubt I'll be able to keep up, but I'm just hoping, like Fahrenheit, that, from time to time, you'll be discuss something I've already read.

As for what I like reading...well, I love almost anything by Ray Bradbury, I've read a lot of H.P. Lovecraft, I really like Edgar Allen Poe (but sometimes I find his work hard to get through), and I'm on my third Margaret Atwood book. Over the years I've read a lot of fantasy and sci-fi, but reading more folklore is on my to-do list. In the past couple of years, I've really gotten into short stories, because they are easier to finish in the brief moments where I actually have time to read. I am just as likely to pick up something old as I am to grab something new, and I can lose entire days if you leave me in a flea market or thrift store with lots of vintage books. Oh yes, and I absolutely adore Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.

As for where I'm from, well, here and there. Actually, I'm from The States, but I've never really fit well in the places I've lived. TV, books, and the internet have always allowed me to live beyond borders in one way or the other, not to mention I am a chronic daydreamer.

Anyway, I'm sure that was more than you were looking for, but I'm new to Goodreads, so I wanted to give a proper hello. And since it is so late here, let me also say: So long, farewell. Auf wiedersehen, goodnight. (No I'm not the biggest fan of musicals, but I have my moments.)

[M.D.]

Oh Rowan your introduction really made me smile :)

Especially "I'm just hoping.. that from time to time, you'll discuss something I've already read"

Cordelia wrote: "Oh Rowan your introduction really made me smile :)"

Then I have done a great and good thing!

Many of us don't get enough practice at smiling. I should know, it took 240 shots to get the one in my profile photo. :p

This morning I looked into the The Book Fairies and I see you are doing great and good things as well. I am a believer in books, and this is wonderful. Thank You.

[Tara]

Hi my name is Tara.
I live in Kansas City Missouri USA and I believe in book fairies :)
I read anything that I feel like reading at the moment.
I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter, Flavia de Luce and Buck from Call of the Wild just to name a few.

Tara wrote: "...I read anything that I feel like reading at the moment..."

LOL. I'm kind of the same way, but my moments change frequently...Goodreads thinks I'm only currently reading two books right now, but I have at least eight half started in my Kindle. I'm a mess.

[Tara]

That's a fine mess to be Rowan. My whole life I have been a one book at a time reader and I rarely give up on a book. I know this says something about me but I don't really know what lol

[A.G.]

Hi everyone! I'm A.G. and I live in Minnesota, USA. This group caught my eye because I love fairies. What a wonderful idea to leave books for people to find! I love to read romantic comedies and books with a little magic in them. I can't wait to do a book drop!

[MC]

[Anna]

Hello, I'm Anna from Michigan, I used to read so much when I was younger that it worried my parents! But nowadays I hardly read at all, so I'm hoping to find some good books to look at and some good discussions to join. I'm probably younger than most in this group at 16, but I can keep up!

[Erin]

Hi! I'm Erin...I live in Michigan and I love to read. Last year I made a New Year's Resolution to read 30 books (well, I combine audiobooks with paper) and I actually surpassed that goal.

This year I'm planning to track my reading on Goodreads and I'm going to try the Modern Mrs. Darcy reading challenge.

I'm looking forward to participating here too! <3

[Almeyda]

Hello everyone! I'm Al from Indonesia and I have this addiction at reading and talking about books, until my friends tired of my rambling.

I love every genre that makes me fall in love, but mostly my reading are sci-fi and fantasy.

So, nice to know you all!

[Lauren]

Hi, I'm Lauren. I'm from Dublin, Ireland and at the moment I'm catching up on classic books I've never read. I'm a teacher in training and have been a slow-reading bookworm since I was small. I like to read most things, except horror. Looking forward to following this book club!

[Rowan]

Lauren wrote: "...and have been a slow-reading bookworm since I was small."

I prefer Sloworm. :) Glad I'm not the only one in the club!

[[deleted user]]

Hallo all, I'm Andy, live in Whitburn, North East England.
Love "Grim/ Dark" books.
I blame Michael Moorcock for this :) Elric at an early age set me off on a path of Stephen Donaldson rather than Tolkien, Dune rather than Star Wars, Clive Barker rather than Stephen King. Lighter moments provided by Grant Naylor and Douglas Adams.
Looking forward to the book per month to broaden my reading habits.

Well, well, well, somebody just gave me some new authors to investigate. I love it. It is like the day I was in the library reaching for H.P. Lovecraft and the guy next to me asked, "Have you heard of Lord Dunsany?"

[Stephanie]

Hello everyone! My name is Stephanie and I am from Michigan USA! I am the author of My Mental Madness Memoir-The provocative TRUE journey through my struggles with mental illness

[Sarah]

Hi everyone,

I' m Sweetly ( pen name - Sarah) from India. I am an entrepreneur by passion in Medical Field - UK based for the past 12 years and by profession I am a teacher. I am an avid reader of books.

I am basically here as a flashlight to help my best pal. Also I am here to learn a lot from all established authors and their esteemed works.

I do plan to eventually come out with a self-published book in Children's Literature in November of 2018 and an enchanting and thought-provoking script that has the potential to be made into a movie. I enjoy gardening and I am currently pursuing a new hobby knitting.

Looking forward for help and guidance.

:-)

The only genre I have yet to like is romance, but that's probably because I'm a kid lol. I am currently reading Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. I'm happy to join this club :)
