Nih here. I'm 24 years old and a very picky reader. My favorite genres are fantasy and realistic fiction, but I'm trying to broaden my taste, since I read a lot and it's hard to find new books with how picky I am.
Please forgive me for the frequent spelling and grammar mistakes, as I'm stuck using speech recognition and it's hard for me to correct my own text.

Anyway i think that's about it so i shall love and leave you all xx

My name is Julia and I am from The Netherlands. I recently became obsessed with YA books. When I was in high school I had no choice picking my own books and most of the books were not my style. Now I have discovered Fantasy and I am in love!! I also like contemporary books now and then if I do not want things to get too complicated. : ) I have not read that many books yet but I would love to hear the opinions of other readers and think more about the book rather than just reading it and putting it back on a shelf!

The top 3: I have more books than my house can comfortably hold (if I got rid of everything else, including all furniture (and clothing) except for bookshelves, of course, then maaaaybe)--yes, I'm a book hoarder; I would rather stay at home and read all the time; and I love to travel--my favorite part of packing is choosing which books to bring with me and thinking of where I will devour them on my trip.

I'm Aoibh and I'm fairly new to this whole Goodreads scene, but have been an avid reader since the age of four. My favorite author is Hideyuki Kikuchi and I'll inhale anything he puts on paper. I know English, French, and can read and understand Irish Gaeilge, though I'm still a long way away from fluency. In fact I love anything to do with language and will gladly talk for hours about it. Add or talk in any other way, I swear I don't bite :3

My name is Gigi. I'm new to Goodreads, but I'm catching on quickly. I couldn't pick just one favorite book.....I LOVE them all. I am from the United States and would love to travel one day. If you have any recommendations of books that you love please comment or message me so that I can check them out.
