message 1301: by Carissa (new)

Carissa (mistnshadow) | 1 comments My name is Carissa which means beloved.
I was born on 26 January 1997.
I have way too many favorite books to post them all here. but one of my favorite series is the Queen's Blade.
My favorite is genre is Fantasy, but I will read just about anything as long as it is well written.
One of my favorite authors is John Flanagan. I realize that he write books that lie in the region between children and young adult, but I really enjoy his sense of humor. I also like T. C. Southwell. He is the author of the series the Queen's Blade. There are also several other authors I like, but I do not want to bore anyone with that long list.
My favorite color is either a very dark red or a blue that is almost black but still retains a deep bright sense of blue. (I realize that one of my favorite colors is not described really well, but I do not know how to describe it any better. Also, the blue color is not navy.)
My favorite food is fries as long as they are not sweet potato fries.
At the moment, I have two dogs. One is a male and his name is Ranger. The other is a female and she is names Holly.
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be either Germany or Colorado. I love the weather in Colorado, how there is hail in the summer but burning hot days in the winter and that you can never predict. I love the food in Germany. Also, there are several fun activities to do in Germany.
I had my first taste of being a book addict in the fourth grade, but as the years passed I slowly became a bookaholic. I know this because I always have a book with me, I stay up to obnoxious hours to finish book even though I have a test tomorrow, book stores and libraries are my second home, and if I could read all day I would be in heaven.

Alexandra | 1 comments Birthday: August 19
Favorite Book(s): The Hobbit
Favorite Book Genre:Fantasy, Historical fiction and Mystery
Favorite Author: Lemony Snicket, his Unfortunate Events series was my first book series I ever completed as a kid. I just fell in love with the idea that you could read a book that captivates you till the end and then you still have more books to continue the story you enjoyed.
Favorite Color: Green
Favorite Food: Seafood
Any Pets: 3 cats and a dog
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: I would live in England. I love all the history that they have,most towns have some sort of historical area which is just so amazing. I also love cold weather so it's the perfect place for me to curl up in a cozy corner and read for hours.
Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because...sometimes I'd rather stay home in a cozy blanket, with tea and a book than go out and party with friends.

Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because it's all I think about. It's the first thing I think about when I get up. Books, writing, writers. Those thoughts that plague writers all the time. And it's the last thing I think about when I go to sleep.

message 1335: by Stephanie (new)

Stephanie  | 194 comments Hi! I joined this group yesterday, but just realized that I am supposed to do an introduction officially. I am still learning internet chats/forums so bear with my lack of technology savvy.

Birthday- November 16th

Favorite Book- This is hard...a silly question really. I really like "Crime and Punishment," "Ender's Game" and "Dracula" but there are so many.

Favorite Genre- Fantasy/Sci-Fi and Young Adult

Favorite Author- This is another impossible choice. Authors I seem to come back to time and time again include George R.R. Martin, Ransom Riggs, Kim Harrison, Margaret George and Jane Austen. There are really so many I couldn't possibly name them all.

Favorite Food- Apple Desserts of any kind

Pet- Ginger, an 18 pound tabby/calico mix

I am an aspiring author- I am in the process of trying to get my first book published, but whether I get published or not I will always be a writer. I was interested in joining some of these groups on Good Reads because I am trying to expand my reading horizons. If anyone has suggestions for books I should be reading then please let me know. I feel like the more I read, the greater my understanding of story and language grows.

Mostly, I am excited to be reading things that other people are reading so that I can talk about them without boring people.

Hi. I was just wondering what the "preparing for Ragnarok" meant. Does that mean that you are into Norse mythology? Are you really excited about the Marvel movie? Is that a Good Reads thing? I really know next to nothing, but the tag caught my eye. Thanks!

Not really would be answer to all your questions. :)

We have team challenge and to help us mods keep an eye on teams we split them in smaller groups where each mod got one group. This round we took mythology as theme for grouping and naming teams and I got (picked) Norse. That's where Ragnarok comes in - trying to win challenge :P
I'm not really into mythology. All I know about Norse (or any other) is what I picked up from various books like Dresden Files, Percy Jackson series, Iron Druid Chronicles,... So not much and take it with grain of salt :P
