Introductions and general chat!
Hi I'm Cynthia, 19, and live in Belgium! (Long live chocolate).Favorite book of all time? Jeez...So much to choose of! It's like asking a mother her favorite child...Well I'll say Angelfall by Susan Ee, just because I have to make a cut ;)
"I'm in love with cities I've never been to and people I've never met.(Paper Towns, John Green)" Is my favorite quote because it's so true! For me at least.
The books I most look forward to read this year, to only choose 3, are: Penryn & The End Of Days book 3, The Young Elites and Red Queen.
:D
Hello! My name is Laura, I'm 20 years old and I'm from Holland. My favorite book of all time changes a lot. I read Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell a little while ago and I really liked that. But I also really like The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. My favorite quote is “I told her once I wasn’t good at anything. She told me survival is a talent.” ― Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted. And I'm really looking forward to reading half-blood. It sounds like a book that I would really like. But the rest sounds good too! Unfortunately, I'll have to skip September since I already read Angelfall, but I can't wait to discuss it with the rest of the group. :)
Liz, Oxford (and on Twitter you know me as Lizzy11268!) Age 22 and a bit (which actually makes 45)The Stand Stephen King. Still my top book ever.
Favourite quote: "If you think something is ugly, look harder. Ugliness is just a failure of seeing" Matt Haig. The Humans
Book I'm most looking forward to? ALL of them. Ever.
Happy Reading Folks!

Favourite quote: 'The hardest thing in this world is to live in it.' – Buffy (so wise)
Book Club book you're most looking forward to reading: everyone keeps telling me how good Half-Blood is, so I'm really looking forward to that!
Hi, I'm Chloë from Blackpool, England. I'm 16 and my favourite book is Little Women by Louisa May Alcott and also The Infernal Devices trilogy by Cassandra Clare. Honestly I'm absolutely in love with every single thing that Jack Sparrow says in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies so herein lies my favourite quote. The book club book that I'm most looking forward to reading has to be The Giver!
My name is Andrea, I'm from Chile and I'm 22 years old. My favourite book of all time I think is Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Favourite quote: “Human reason can excuse any evil; that is why it's so important that we don't rely on it.” from Divergent.
Book Club book you're most looking forward to reading: I don't know, all of them!
Hi I'm Zulfa, I live in the UK and I'm 18 years old. Favourite books are obviously Harry Potter but I'm gonna say Infernal Devices because I adore those books. Angelfall because I've heard so many great things and possibly Red Rising.
Hi :D I'm Priya! I live in Birmingham in the UK and I'm 15. I have SO MANY favourite books, I love Harry Potter, the Throne of Glass series, The Hunger Games trilogy and SO MANY MORE! However my top two books are probably The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and Only Ever Yours by Louise O'Neill!
The bookclub book I'm most looking forward to reading..... probably Half-Blood! I've heard loads of awesome things about Jennifer Armentrout so I hope I'll really enjoy it :P
My favourite quote... hmmmmmm... I have so many! Most of my favourite 'quotes' are just big chunks of dialogue but one of the shorter ones is from Allegiant:
“There are so many ways to be brave in this world. Sometimes bravery involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself, or for someone else. Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater.
But sometimes it doesn't.
Sometimes it is nothing more than gritting your teeth through pain, and the work of every day, the slow walk toward a better life.
That is the sort of bravery I must have now.”
Also, does anyone have a bookish blog? I'd love to find more blogs to follow! Mine is http://priyapiggle.wordpress.com/

Book Club book I'm most looking forward to reading is Red Rising. I read a bit of it over the bank holiday but I'm going to save the rest for December!
Hey everybody! My name is Sofia and I am a 15 year old blogger from the UK.My favourite book of all time has to be Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell but many other books are very closely behind it. The Book Club book I am most looking forward to reading is probably Half Blood since I've heard so much about it. My favourite quote is any quote that is spoken by Jem Carstairs in The Infernal Devices. I can't choose just one :P
Hi everybody, my name is Zareena. I'm a 16 year old blogger and I'm in the UK. I really don't have a favourite book! There are so many to choose from but anything by Jennifer L. Armentrout, Cassandra Clare, or Ilona Andrews can be on that list :) And one favourite quote is: "I'm oxygen and he's dying to breathe." from Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. But of course if I can't pick a favourite book there's no way on earth I'll be able to choose a favourite quote.
And I think I'm most excited to reading Red Rising because while I do love Half Blood with all my heart, everybody says Red Rising is freaking fantastic!

Hi, my name is Hazel, I'm 22 and live in London. It is so hard to chose a favourite book. The Fault in Our Stars, perhaps? Likewise it's difficult to choose a favourite quote.

Hope you all enjoy it too.

Hello everyone!I'm Martina, I'm 18 and I'm from Italy.
I can't really choose my favorite book, it's a tie between The Shadow of The Wind and The Night Circus.
Victoria Schwab wrote my favorite quote of all time in The Unbound: (Go read if you haven't, seriously, everyone needs a bit of Wesley Ayers in their life)"Everything that rises will fall. Empires, societies, governments. None of them last forever. Why? Because even though they are the products of change, they become resistant to change. The longer a society survives, the more it clings to its power, and the more it resists progress. The more it resists progress- resists change- the more its citizens demand it. In response, the society tighten it grip, desperate to mantain control. It's afraid ot losing its hold".
Since I've already read Angelfall and The Giver, I'm really looking forward to reading Half Blood and -especially- Red Rising, since it's been talked about a lot recently.

Hi guys!

My favourite quote: It's probably got to be from Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie "You need not be sorry for her. She was one of the kind that likes to grow up. In the end she grew up of her own free will a day quicker than the other girls"
I was really looking forward to Angelfall and I ADORED IT! So much so that I bought World After literally two seconds after finishing Angelfall. All I can say now is...Bring on The Giver!
