message 366: by Morgan (new)

Morgan (faeriesfolly) | 522 comments Hi, I'm Morgan. Total newbie here. I am reasonably new to challenges, but it's fun to cross things off lists. :P

I'm an April baby, my favorite color is green, and there's no way I could choose a favorite book.

I'm an addict, because I usually have several books going at the same time (physical/kindle/audio) and feel weird if I don't. I will also be more concerned about moving/unpacking my books in a new place than furniture. (I bought bookshelves before I bought a bed--slept on a series of air mattresses.) ;)


message 367: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9624 comments Welcome to the group Morgan. ☺

message 392: by Alex (new)

Alex | 1018 comments I've never introduced myself despite competing in Tower Teams, so it's about time. Plus, questing. Ahem.

Birthday: 30th August

Favorite Book(s): His Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman. Also, Pillars of the Earth, The Crimson Petal and the White.

Favorite Book Genre: Historical. I used to go purely for royalty based (eg. Philippa Gregory) but I've recently really got into historical mysteries and even a cheeky bit of regency romance.

Favorite Author: Tasha Alexander, Patrick Ness

Favorite Color: Purple

Favorite Food: I'm not fussy. Spaghetti bolognese. Chinese takeaway. Mashed potatoes and gravy. Chunky chip shop chips with gravy and mushy peas. Northern England at it's finest right there.

Any Pets: No. Not allowed in my rented house. I'm away at weekends too much to commit to even a rabbit, anyway.

If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: Next to a dropzone so I can skydive as much as I can afford. I already compete at a national level and it's time to set my sights higher. :-)

Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because.... I'd rather buy books than clothes. And sometimes food.

K.W. Gish (kwgishwriter) | 1 comments Hi! I'm new on this block, and I don't know that I'll always be active in every read, but I'm happy to be here!


Birthday: August 5th
Favorite Book(s): Hard to say - there are so many! One of my favorites is Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. Another, a YA fantasy fave, is Keturah and Lord Death.
Favorite Book Genre: YA Fantasy
Favorite Author: Again, hard to say! But I adore J.R.R. Tolkien and Silas House
Favorite Color: Probably blue, but in particular a muted shade of blue-grey
Favorite Food: Again, there are so many! In main dishes, one of my favorites is fried chicken. In sides, I'd say a nice green salad (especially with ripe red tomatoes) smothered in one of my favorite French dressings, mashed potatoes, and sweet corn on the cob drowned in either real butter or buttery spray. (Yes, I'm a food junkie.)
Any Pets: One - a chihuahua mix, about 10 lbs. :)
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: Iceland! Definitely ICELAND!
Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because.... I have more books than some libraries, and I keep my library cards (yes, cardS) maxed most of the time. :)

Thanks for having me!

-Kimbra :)
