Javiera (javinoza) | 4 comments Hi everyone! I'm Javiera. I live in Santiago, Chile. Love reading about romance, YA, thrillers, and science fiction. I'm finding inspiration to continue writing a little story I made up.

I'm looking for someone to exchange books, comment about it and talk about other topics like, music, movies or whatever.

Khrystyna (khrystynakv) | 21 comments Hello everyone,

My name is Khrystyna. I am from USA. I am 23 years old. My favorite genres are romance, fantasy, and thriller. I am currently reading A Clash of Kings by George R.R.Martin. I've been slowly getting out of my reading slump so I would love a reading body who would help me with that as well.

I have a full time job as an Human Resources Assistant. I also got engaged in November so most of this year has already been crazy since we have been busy wedding planning.

Feel free to pm me if you'd like me as a penpal. I write and talk a lot.

message 7: by Vishal (new)

Vishal Ramesh (bbloggsbott) I'm Batman.

Sorry, too Nerdy for a first Impression.

Hello,
My name is Vishal. I'm 18.I am in the second year of college.

 I'm a YouTube addict (I love The Richest, Veritasium, Cody's Lab, Screen Rant, and New Rockstars). I love reading books. Fantasy and Sci-Fi are my favourites. I am a tech geek, and love to know stuff. I am a good listener. I hate all sports, even in the form of video games and bet I am The laziest man on Earth. I am silent at first but once I get comfortable, there is no stopping me. I am a Die hard superhero fan. I could go on about me.

My responses might be a bit late due to the huge workload dumped on me in college.

Message me and I'll share my email ID with you.
Have a great day.

A Lazy Geek

Vishal


message 8: by Ericka (new)

Ericka (eejala92) Howdy!
I'm Ericka. I'm 25 years old. I live in the US. I have a huge complicated family. They are very talkative people, I am not very talkative, at least in person. I have no clue where they got me from. I love certain fandoms and can get slightly obssessed.

(By obssessed I mean right now I am crocheting a full size Harry Potter blanket for my bed!)

I love to read. I prefer romance, thrillers, mystery, horror, fantasy, paranormal, supernatural, pretty much a whole variety. I read manga, comics, and graphic novels.

When I am not reading I like to draw, write, sing, crochet, and knit. I have some social anxiety. I have trouble making friends. Probably because I over think everything.

I work as an aide at a bus company, working with special needs children and some with behavorial issues. I'm like a babysitter on a school bus (but it can get crazy if you ever want to hear some stories).

Anyways, if you'd like to chat I would appreciate the company. PM me if you want to be my penpal. I will try my best to write back.

(Essentially if my phone were to blow up that would be why I haven't responded.)


message 9: by Ireland (new)

Ireland Johnson (irelandj4) Hello my name is Ireland and I am 13 years old, I live in Minnesota. I have 2 younger sisters and a super cute dog. I spend most of my time reading, in school, or doing sports.

For reading a really only read YA enjoy YA fantasy, YA romance, or YA dystopian but I do read more than just those YA genres. So far for 2018 I have read a whopping 51 YA books! My Favorite series are anything by Sarah J. Mass.

Outside of reading I play competitive soccer and do track. I also spend 7 hours in the 7th grade each day. I don't spend a lot of time with my family which I really need to work on because I am closing myself off from them which can lead to really bad relationships in the future.

I could rally use a friend to share my love of books with and to just share talk freely with. Please message me if you want to be my penpal!


message 10: by Nagy (new)

Nagy Adrienn (nagyadri916) | 2 comments Hello!

My name is Adri, I am from Hungary. I am studying in university to become a primary school teacher but i have other plans too. ☺️

I have a lot of interests and one main interest is reading!!

I love reading however nowadays I don’t have much time for this passion but I’m trying to keep up.

I love reading YA most of the times but I’m starting to read more historical fiction too. And of course i would like to try out other genres too. ☺️

I am looking for penpal to be friends maybe and discuss books, life and anything that come up.
😁


message 11: by ispeakdefiance (new)

ispeakdefiance (gaydrien) | 1 comments Heyy, I'm Adrianna. I'm 15. I'm interested in all YA books, haven't read any Thrillers but I'm willing to try new things. I love reading (obviously) and I also love music, writing, animals, food, I'm starting to draw. I'm also interested in learning languages and traveling. I think I'm pretty cool and fun to talk to, but I guess you'll have to find out for yourself :) Oh and I'm bisexual so don't message me if you're homophobic.

I'm looking for someone to talk to, not strictly about books, but other topics too. Not by email though; either on here, Goodreads, or Facebook. Message me if you wanna talk.

And maybe we can be reading buddies too, read books together at the same time. I also need more friends who read books because none of my friends read books ;(


message 12: by Patricia (new)

Patricia Brown Hi everyone. my name is Patti, I'm from Ontario, Canada. Love to read a variety of genres. would love a penpal


message 13: by Muhammad (new)

Muhammad Lotfi (malotfi) | 3 comments hay there,

I'm looking for a penpal who likes reading different genres to discuss books among other things or someone who is a native Spanish speaker !


message 14: by Kier Scrivener (new)

Kier Scrivener (kierscrivener) Hey, I am Kier. I am from Ontario, Canada. I am twenty and studying counselling. I have dreams of publishing some of my current projects in the future.
I am an avid reader and my first love was YA and fantasy, but I recently I have read a lot of classics, some non fiction and mysteries and science fiction. I love history but don't read many historical fiction. and I love comics and definitely biased toward DC, I am part of the fandom of most superhero shows or just fandoms in general.

I started doing booktube last year as a way to meet more people in the community but I don't have a penpal I talk to about books on a regular basis.

Message me if you want to talk about books or life or pretty much anything nerdy.


message 15: by Jadine (new)

Jadine | 18 comments Hey everyone:) my name is Jadine! I am 19 yrs old and live in California. I am a second year in college, studying kinesiology. I love reading (obviously) and enjoy going to cute coffee shops with my roommates on the weekends to take pictures for social media and sometimes just to study at. My daily life literally consists of drinking coffee, hanging with friends while doing homework, going to class, and sleeping. I somehow manage to read in between this though. I could probably read just about anything but I do really like memoirs so I'd say that is my fave genre I guess? I am a pretty cool and open person so message me. Even if you don't want to talk about books and just want a friend or something then that's cool with me too. School does consume my whole life though so if I take a while to respond then that's probably why but I will respond eventually. I'm almost always on my phone at the same time so it shouldn't be too big of a problem. Anywayyyyy hope to hear from some of you :)

Hi, my name is Javiera. I'm 21, female, from Chile. I'm looking for someone to help me practice my English, specially my speaking skills. It doesn't matter if you are a native speaker or not. I can in turn help with your Spanish if you want.

Obviously, I love books. I prefer fantasy (my favourites are Tolkien and Harry Potter), though lately I have been indulging in YA. Also, I am obsessed with TV Tropes.

I'm a bit socially awkward but that's common among us book geeks, isn't it? :P

my name is Franziska, I am 27 and I am from Germany. I am a PhD student in economics, part-time student in psychology, and obviously I love to read a lot. Besides, I am sports addicted - at the moment, I am training for Berlin Marathon, but I also play soccer and loooove the Olympic Games.

I'd love to find someone to read books with (I am kind of obsessed with true crime books and podcasts, but I also like YA-books, thriller, classics and sometimes romance novels) and to chat/write about different cultures, lifes and life in general. :) Just feel free to contact me here via goodreads and then we could write via Email :)


message 36: by erin (new)

erin (magicalmenagerie) | 1 comments Hey! I'm Erin and I'm fifteen turning sixteen next month. I live in the United States (Texas specifically) and would love someone to message about books and anything else we'd want to discuss! I'm very geeky and love Star Wars, Marvel, Harry Potter, and a million other things. I think email would be a good format for messaging back and forth as well as social media accounts if you're willing to share yours, but it would also be fun one day to send actual letters! I overthink everything fandom related and it would be awesome to talk to someone else who did the same thing. Please message me if interested :)


message 37: by T.L. (new)

T.L. Thornes (authortlthornes) | 2 comments Hey there!

I'm Tery from Ilocos Sur, Philippines. I'm 18 and almostvoff to college next month. I'm a bit of an old soul that's why I don't read much of YA books and new releases. I also have a bit of a hoarding personality in me 😅 that's why I prefer spending my money on secondhand books more than brand new ones. I believe they're more poetic because they've travelled from hands to hands to hands of different readers from the different parts of the world.

Honestly, I'm looking for a pen pal who's a bit like me. Or if you're interested, you can email me about absolutely anything 😊


message 38: by Amy (last edited Aug 02, 2018 02:58AM) (new)

Amy (amydyneone) Hello and happy August!

I go by Amy most of the time, I am 24 years old and come from Romania (in East Europe). Just around Christmas last year I bought a Kindle which is why I'd say I am a 'new reader'. I am still exploring different genres and books at the moment so I am quite open to any kind of reads.

I have studied Psychology in university for 5 years. I have a lot of interests from video games to Japanese culture and comic books to superhero movies and more!

I have never tried PenPal-ing before but I would love to speak with someone about books and other topics (I love exploring cultures) through writing! My preference is snail mail (especially with someone in Europe, since the letters arrive faster) but e-mail is OK too!

Thanks!


message 39: by Tosia (new)

Tosia | 2 comments Well then, how should I start...
I'm looking for a penpal - if you haven't already guessed.
I've fallen deeply and completely for The Great Gatsby.
And books, everything about them.
But i absolutely hate online versions, ebooks...
Now, no one I know seems to understand... So if you're interested, you know what to do *please reply*
*we might get along better if your vocabulary is enriched by sarcasm like mine:)*


message 41: by Rauros (new)

Rauros Ammonoidea | 2 comments Cheers! My name's Óscar, a Spaniard and I would be delighted to write to anywhere about any kind of literature, music, art, philosophy, life, blahblahblah.

Prescilla (kondratova) Hey! My name is Preslava and I'm 29. I currently live in Utah, USA (though am from Bulgaria). I truly enjoy traveling and consider myself a true cosmopolitan. I truly enjoy history books and true stories (preferably for countries or events I don't know much about). It is really difficult to find a person that would share my interests in real life so... here we go. I'm currently exploring YA books and some thrillers and would love some recommendations of other genres too. Lastly, I promise I'm not boring!

Feel free to drop me a message but do prefer to chat either on here or email.


message 46: by Laura (new)

Laura Arumí (lauraarumi) | 2 comments Hey!

My name is Laura and I'm 27. When I was in Primary school, one of the teachers told us about PenPals and I remember thinking (and still do) that I would love having one! Since then the idea of having a PenPal has always been in the back of my mind so I'm really excited to be writing this message.

I'm an English teacher in Spain. I enjoy reading classic books but also enjoy contemporary authors. My favourite writers are Charlotte Brontë and Haruki Murakami (is that a weird mix?). When I'm not teaching, reading or basically covered in stickers and glitter, you will probably find me cooking, baking or watching Korean dramas.

I love the idea of snail mail but maybe email is easier to keep up with... Anyway, feel free to message me anytime :)

message 50: by Dominika (new)

Dominika Domjan | 2 comments Hi! I'm Dominika, I'm 15 and I'm from Hungary. I'm looking for a friend who likes reading, so I can finally get back to reading after a really long reading slump.
I mostly read fantasy and YA romance, but I'm interested in other genres as well. I also love poetry. I'd love it if we could be reading buddies and read books together, so I'd have someone to discuss them with.
I'm looking for someone around my age, but whoever you are, don't hesitate to message me if you want to talk to me, I'd love to get to know anyone.
We can talk on messenger, instagram or snapchat if you want, or just email or here, I don't mind.
