Catalina | 1 comments Hey, there! c:
My name is Catalina, I'm 20 years old and I'm from Argentina. I'm, also, a International Relations student here at my city, Santa Fe.
My birthday is on March 25th.
I can say that Agatha Christie has been a referent in my bookaholism since I was very young, also R.L. Stine, Rowling, Kleypas and others.
I don't have a favorite book, since I like a lot of books which mean different things for me.
I started reading in one of the worst moments of my life, from my phone, and it became a passion when my family bought me a tablet for Christmas.
I hope I'll make a lots of friends here, so please add me and we can talk, and of course I'd love some recommendations and Advices to improve my reading.
I'm new in goodreads, so feel free to contact me to share your experiences or anything you'd like.
I entered this group because I felt utterly alone and wanted to interact with someone else ,lol.
:) I'll be waiting for your responses and thank you for let me introduce myself freely.
xoxo
Catalina.

Thank you so much. I am already having fun reading the posts. Thanks for the welcome.

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9624 comments Hi Catalina and welcome to the group. ☺

Best way to meet people (if you ask me and I'm little biased ☺) is through challenges, especially team challenges. We have one of those going on at the moment (team towers) but it'll probably be over in few weeks. That doesn't mean you shouldn't join if you want. We are always looking for backup players. :)
Another great way to meet others is through book discussions, so I suggest you check our Book of the Month and buddy read threads. Even if you don't find book you want to read, you can always ask if anyone else is interested to join you.

Have fun exploring the group. ☺

Arwen | 1 comments Birthday: March 9

Favorite Book(s): The Agony and the Ecstasy, World War Z, Watership Down, Wolf Woman, Nononba, Pride and Prejudice, and Jurassic Park.

Favorite Book Genre: I can't choose, really. Right now I'm preferential to biographies, memoirs and non-fiction; but I'm an avid reader of fiction, horror, mystery, thriller, adventure/fantasy, sci-fi, historical fiction, philosophy, young adult/teen... any book that provides a compelling perspective I will eagerly read.

Favorite Author: George Orwell

Favorite Color: I can't choose... partially due to the fact that as an artist I love all colours, especially the undervalued ones.

Favorite Food: Shanghai noodles and bananas (but not at the same time).

Any Pets: Two beautiful cats and two delightful fancy goldfish.

If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: Somewhere in France (but not Paris).

Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because... I feel incomplete/unsatisfied/restless when I'm not actively reading. It's always been an important aspect of my life and it always will be. I'm anticipating many interesting discussions about books with members here! ★
