Angel (girl_with_sense) | 4 comments Hi everyone,
I’m Evangeline but most of my friends known me as angel. I’m happy to find this group. I was born on August 28 1986. Some of my favorite books are Twilight, Harry Potter, Cast in Shadow and hoping to discover more.

With regards to Genre, so far I mostly read Fantasy, YA, Horror and some non-fiction. But like what I said above, looking forward to expand my reading horizon. I don’t want to be bias so I won’t list any author for now. My favorite color is orange and my favorite food is cake, any kind of cake. At the moment I don’t have any pet and if I will be given a chance, I’d like to live in the U.S. I know I’m a book addict because I always read every day. So thanks everyone for reading this and hoping to have friends and get new recommendations from you guys.

Happy reading!

message 1217: by Kerri (new)

Kerri (kerrimcbooknerd) | 1200 comments Hello! My name is Kerri and I am looking forward to participating in this club.

Birthday: Sept 17th

Favorite Book(s): You really want me to pick just one? Well... when I was younger, it was anything by James Herriot and The Westing Game. Now, I'm pretty stuck on the whole A Song of Ice and Fire series.

Favorite Book Genre: Definitely fantasy/sci-fi. I'll pick up anything I run across in the fiction section if it looks interesting, but that genre is my go-to.

Favorite Author: I can't pick just one! There's the aforementioned Mr. Herriot, J.K. Rowling, George R.R. Martin, Neil Gaiman... so many.

Favorite Color: Any shade of blue!

Favorite Food: Sushi. Or anything sweet. The sweet-tooth is strong in me.

Any Pets: 3 cats; Felicia, Nelson, and Marmalade.

If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: Specific or a general idea? Generally, somewhere isolated and close to water where it's warm all the time. Specifically, New Zealand looks pretty fantastic.

Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because.... I can't leave a bookstore without at least purchasing one book, yet I have a giant stack of To-Be-Read books at home. I can't control myself...

message 1219: by [deleted user] (last edited Sep 29, 2015 02:25PM) (new)

Hello! I'm Aurie and I already know that I will love participating in this club.

If I Could Live Anywhere in the World it Would Be: Probably Australia or somewhere else with pleasant weather and intresting and different but not too different.

Finish The Line: "I know I'm a book addict because... I have frequent dreams where plots collide and the characters are either my allies or enemies. I also tend to borrow from several different libraries at once and when I can't sleep I read aloud in weird voices or just sit and think about books I've read. I also can go on and on about books, like I am right now. Sorry for boring you all I'll stop now. :)

message 1228: by Nicole B (new)

Nicole B | 185 comments Hi, I'm new. Joined because I used to read a lot as a child and want to get back in the habit. Also I kind of mostly just read paranormal stuff at the moment and need some new ideas. ^^

Birthday: 24/11

Favorite Book(s): Magician by Raymond E Feist

Favorite Book Genre: Anything with magic or dragons. Love dragons

Favorite Author: ... No real answer, maybe J.K rowling because she got me into liking fantasy? I really like China Miéville at the moment though.

Favorite Color: Red

Favorite Food: Curry!

Any Pets: Nope.

If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: Not in my hometown. Nice,easy simple. I've lived a year in China (gap year) and a year in Japan (uni study aboard) but I wouldn't actually live either places my whole life. I'm from England if the gap year thing didn't reveal that.

Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because I call it an achievement to buy good books cheaply in order to fuel the pace I can read. Also I once read 3 books on a 40hr train journey. Neverwhere by Neil Gailman, I, Lucifer by Glen Duncan and The City & the City by China Miéville. :)

Birthday: ..."


I've never actually met someone who read the Magician series by Feist. I keep wanting to re-read it but it gets pushed back on my really long "to-read" list.
On the side note, I love "I,Lucifer" by Glen Duncan, it makes you really think about the things people take for granted. I loved his comparison of Satan on a plane.


message 1233: by Nicole B (new)

Nicole B | 185 comments Strangly i get that a lot too lol. Very few people seemed to have heard of it. I read it because my dad gave it to me when he realised how much i was enjoying fantasy :). I do need to reread it but there are so many books i need to read at the moment but it will always be a favourite. I, lucifer was a good read. Certainly the characterisations in it were brilliant at times. I also really enjoyed his writing style. The last werewolf by him was also really well written and entertaining to me.
