Introduce Yourself! - OFFICAL THREAD

[Alishaa]

Hiya everyone, nice to meet so many people. Im Alisha (spelt alicia) I’m 17 year old English young lady. I’m hoping to soon go to university for fashion design and entrepreneurship (I’ve always been very creative. I guess I’m in the chapter of life that is “figuring out what I’ll do for the rest of my life” although I’m not sure I believe in that. I am very hardworking and determined individual and believe that everyone should be :) I’m new here and so far this app is great :) I have just got very into reading, I used to read when I was little to escape reality as I had no friends, but when I had a toxic friend group age 13-15 reading was considered very uncool and so I stoped. I didn’t get into it as I went through a tough time, I also have ADHD so as you can imagine reading can be difficult because I find it hard to focus and remember and so loose where I am on the page or it just doesn’t sink in. I am definitely a known procrastinator. However i have just turned my life around and changed a lot, I’m deciding to put down the phone and read a lot more, it’s so fun holding a physical book and I feel like I’m in a book myself :) I realised that if I’m interested I am able to hyper focus and read for hours! And I have just made it a routine that I sit down for 30 mins (set a timer) every night before bed and just read. I have just impulsively order 6 new books and would love to be part of this group so have motivation to read them lol. I love historical fiction anything to with regency Victorian Edwardian Jane Austen romance classics etc I also like spiritual and self help books, I would love some book inspiration, I tend to like books that tell you a lot about the characters but without being too slow. I am currently reading Emma. It would be great to speak to some of you. <3

[Finn]

Hello! My name is Finn, I am 24 years old and am from (and currently reside in) North Carolina in the United States. As far as books go, I am most interested in YA fiction or fantasy, but I also read other things if they pique my interest. My favorite color is olive green, and I’m looking to make more close friends that are willing to exchange numbers and text - and/or FaceTime. I would also like to have an accountability partner for reading, lol.

[Gayle]

Hi!! I’m Gayle, I’m 23 years old from Western Australia and I’m currently studying teaching! When it comes to books I tend to gravitate towards YA or romance, but I’m currently trying to expand my taste, so any and all recommendations are appreciated!!

I’m so excited to be apart of this group as no one in my life currently enjoys reading so I’m so excited to hopefully makes some friends to be excited about books with!!

[Amy]

Hi everyone !
My name is Amy. I am 24 years old & I’m trying to get into reading again. I used to love reading as a kid. I would carry my book with me everywhere to read. I grew up being a big fan of Junie B. Jones lol.
There’s many books I want to read but honestly haven’t made the time to sit down and do it. I’m a legit procrastinator.
I hope to change that by joining this club.
The genres I like are romantic novels, horror, crime/mystery books and young adult books.
Happy reading !

[Jill]

Hi friends!

My name is Jill and I’m 21 years old from Canada 🍁 I have just started getting back into reading (mainly contemporary and YA), I forgot how amazing it was.

I would love to befriend some fellow slow paced readers, so I feel like I am in the right group for that haha. Reading is great, I just read at turtle pace and have the attention span of a goldfish. If you relate pls follow and I will gladly follow back.

Have a lovely evening 💙

Hi all, I'm Lisa, 18 and from Australia. I go through phases of reading a ton and phases of not touching a book with a ten foot pole. Currently interested in fantasy but looking to branch out into other genres as well as read some classics. I am thinking of studying English literature in university but tied between that and art.
Looking for friends ^^

[Vanessa]

Hey guys,
I'm Vanessa, 23 years old and I live in Germany. After a few years of a small reading slump, I finally got back on track and started reading a lot more this year. (which I'm kinda proud of ngl) :D

I like to read just anything literally, fiction, classics, fantasy, mangas, poetry. But I have to say, I'm not really invested in crime books.

It's probably too late to participate in this year's Book Club reading challenge but I'm totally looking forward to participate next year. :)

If anyone is keen in chatting about books and making a new book buddy, just hit me up. :D

[Cindy]

Hello! My name is Cindy. I am 21 from Mexico. I used to be an avid reader in my middle school years, but for some reason I stopped.

(If you want to be friends send a request I accept everyone)

Hi everyone!
My name is Julia, I'm living in Tallinn, Estonia. I haven't reading for 2 years on regular basis due to depression. But now I'm recovering and can read/stay focused and read more! I want to set a big challenge for 2022.

When I was a child i like a gooood scare, so I read many horrors... in my tenage phase i was into classics/fantasy. Now I think I'm still into the same)

My favorite movie is Princess Mononoke, my favorite TV show is probably Schitts Creek, and my favorite food is Cheeseburgers! I work a full time job and own my house, so finding time to read is definitely a challenge.

[Hailey]

Hi my name is Hailey. I got into reading august 2021 and this year it’s my goal to read more but man do I procrastinate. But I am more motivated to check some books off my tbr

[anon]

hi everyone!

i’ve always been into reading esp in school. i took a pause and now i’m getting back into it. i feel like i read all the good books in middle school so i’m rereading some of them now to get back into the zone. i downloaded goodreads after yearsss in hopes of finding book recs and some new friends who share the same interest in reading. literally none of my friends like reading lol and if they do it’s not the kind of book i like to read. i prefer reading books that are suspenseful & unfolds like a movie in my mind as i reach every word, y’know?! excited to see what i end up reading this year :)

[Madee]

Hi I’m Madee. I’m 21 and live in the US. I read a lot as kid but fell out of it as I got older. I’ve been reading a lot of nonfiction, but since graduating college I’m trying to read more fiction and classic books. Would love to make some friends :)

[Zoey]

Hi I am Zoey from the USA, I am 15, and I love to read but have a problem being able to read more than about 3 or 4 books in a row. I guess I get kinda burned out.

[Amanda]

Hello everyone! My name is Amanda and I'm currently 21 years old. I'm from the US and have a bit of a book addiction. My TBR fills up most of my apartment and I swear my favorite hobby is adding more books to it (oops). I often get a bit overwhelmed with reading books for college courses and forget how fun reading for myself can be, but I absolutely love to read.

I look forward to reading with you all!

[Didoncho]

Hey everyone!
My name is Diana, I’m 16 years old and I’m Bulgarien! My favorite and preferred genres are fantasy and sci-fi. I can't stand the idea of leaving my comfort zone when it comes to books, but I do it occasionally. Some of my favorite authors are Sarah J Maas, Jennifer L Armentrout, James Rollins, Leigh Bardugo and so...
Hope to make new friends and read with them.
XOXO

[Sarah]

Hello ☺️ I’m Sarah, I’m twenty two and I’m from the us. My favorite genre at the moment is probably romance but I’ve been on a big sci-fi/fantasy series binge read to catch up on series I gave up on in the past! At the moment I don’t think I have a least favorite genre except that I don’t really read nonfiction books. I just did a huge rehaul of my TBR after moving where I looked at what I owned and what I could find in the library near my new place so I’m super excited to make a dent in that. Though as I work in a bookstore I foresee my TBR growing much faster than I can diminish it lol!

[Meg]

Hello everyone! My name is Meg, I'm 34 and from the USA. I just started reading again after taking a very long break, so I can't wait to get back into it! My favorite genres are sci-fi, horror and fantasy. I look forward to meeting more book lovers like myself and making new friends!

[[deleted user]]

Hello everyone, I am Caden and I live in southeastern USA. I am currently still in high school. I have weeks where I will read everything I can and after that I go for a few weeks to months in a reading slump. So even though I have times where I have no trouble motivating myself to read after I burn out that energy I won't read for weeks on end. My tbr is never ending. My favorite author at the moment is Ellen Hopkins.

[Renee]

Hi everyone, I am Renee and I am from the Netherlands. I read fantasy, romance, thriller etc. whatever suits my mood. Working full time, but still try to find time to read as many books as I can. I joined this group about a week ago, but I procrastinated writing in this section. Feel free to add me.

[Allyson]

Hi y'all! I'm Allyson (or Positivelybooked) and I'm 21 years old. I'm from Ohio, USA but plan on moving out west after I graduate from college next spring! I really want to get better with buddy/group reads so I hope that this group will help with that.

:)

[Abby]

Hello! I’m Abby I’m 13 (until the 25) and I live in Saskatchewan Canada. I love reading, puzzles, and my pets (2 cats and 2 dogs).

[Abigail]

Hi everyone! I'm Abigail, and I'm 18 years old. I'm from Nashville, TN, USA (although my heart belongs in Seattle, WA). I'm a student at a local college and work in a small-town library! I'm trying to minimize my TBR stack, so I figured joining a group would motivate me to read more often!

[ann]

Hihi! I’m Annette and I’m currently finishing up my first year of high school. I’m a bookworm (but also a procrastinator 🥲) from California, and my favorite genres are romance (especially teen) and horror! My least favorite genre is science fiction. My absolute favorite book EVER is Again, Again by E. Lockhart. I love her books and just bought her newly released prequel to her hit We Were Liars, Family of Liars! I’m very excited to read it, but one of my goals is finishing the rest of my books on my TBR list before I get to it, which is one reason why I joined this group :D. I‘ll probably need some help finishing it 😵‍💫.

I’ve also been procrastinating for quite a while now, and I’d really like to get back into reading daily like I used to, which is why I downloaded Goodreads (just yesterday!). I am very excited to be part of this group and I hope to enjoy it here!

[ka1tlyn]

hello my name is Kaithlyn and i'm from California. I love reading books but have trouble picking them up because I get scared I might not like it, especially for overhyped books. The genres that I mostly read are fantasy, YA, romance/dark romance, contemporary, and thriller. I would love to do a buddy read with someone since I feel like it'll get me out of my reading slump and help me go through my TBR.

[elliebellie]

Hi! You guys can call me Ellie. 💕
My age range is 18-21. I live in the U.S.A, and I love reading books in the following genres/sub genres: YA, thriller, paranormal, fantasy, mystery, horror, dystopian/apocalypse, (occasionally romance)—basically any book packed with plot twists, adrenaline-pumping action, and cliffhangers that leave you asking, “What’s going to happen next?”

Some books I’ve read, but not limited to (I’ve read a lot of books):

- The Enemy series
- Fablehaven series
- Warriors series
- Maze Runner series
- Eye of Minds series
- Red Queen series
- The Button War
- I’ve Got You Under My Skin
- Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children
