*snikers*

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.

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. ☺

We have plenty of Terry Pratchett & Stephen King fans here so I hope you'll join them in discussions. :)

You're welcome to join in not only look from sidelines.
(It's obvious some of us spend too much time here chatting instead of reading :P)

I think plenty of people have that problem.
I for one always hated that question about what 5 books I'd take with me to deserted island. I could never make up my mind. Now I just say I'll take my reader and solar battery charger :P
