I used to be a park ranger for the Boston Harbor Islands. One of the islands held mortar batteries, but the mortars themselves were removed long ago to support more urgent defensive interests. You know where they are now? Battered, bruised and rusting in Corregidor!

Hi I'm Leeann, I'm 15 years old, reading is my best friend I read a lot besides volleyball one of the only things I do I read, reading helps me escape my depression some of my favourite books are: The Harry Potter series, The Delirium series, Peter Pan, Dear Canada series, The book thief, The diary of Anne frank is just a few of my favourites I am from Ontario Canada, every month I go to a book store and buy 5-7 books to last me the month I am going tomorrow and Saturday to buy books four of which are The Fault in our stars and The Gemma Doyle series. Ive always wanted to make a book club but I only have one friend and she hates reading I don't understand how someone could hate reading I'm always 2 books ahead of the rest of my English class which earned me the title of bookworm but truth betold when someone calls me a bookworm I'm secretly flattered
Hi my name is fatima, I am 18 years old. I am blind and i love reading and writing. I read books in braille which means it might take me longer to finish a book depending on how long it is and how interesting it is. I also like listening to audio books.
Hello, my name is Hailey, and I am 19 years old. I'm a new bookworm. My favorite author is Ruta Sepetys. I loved both her books "Between Shades of Gray" and "Out of the Easy." I like to read books with a strong heroine character, such as "Hunger Games", "Divergent", "The Fifth Wave", with hints of romance strewn throughout the story. I'm so happy I found this site!
This sounds like how Hazel described group... Name. Age. Why we're here/ what we have. haha. Sorry...Anyways, HI. Im Aaliyah. I enjoy reading YA books and really like dystopian books or any. Mainly any YA book... im a really bad judge with books and not very opinionated...for example someone will comment thoroughly on a book and when they ask me about it I'll probably just say "I liked it". That is all. Well I really like books like Divergent, The Hunger Games, Legend etc. I also like contemporary books...before I joined this sight I didn't even know there were so many different kind of genres/topics etc. haha I read LOTS of books. My mom says I should just live in a bookstore. I live in good ol' Canada. WHERE IT IS COLD. No not stereotypical Canada cold. Just colder. Umm...so yah. That's all. Feel free to add me! I'm lonely haha :)
Greetings and salutations,My favorite genre is fantasy, but I haven't been able to find too many exciting new works. Classics like Tolkien were great, the first couple Robert Jordan books were great, Wizard's First Rule was
fun.
Non-techie sci fi.. I like The Adventures of The Stainless Steel Rat, Deathworld, Ender's Game, and Callahan's Crosstime Saloon. I like good adventure stories of any genre, including Winterdance, Seabiscuit, and recently I have been getting hooked on YA because that seems to be where the most exciting and innovative writing is happening (Hunger Games, Divergent, MazeRunner, etc.). I am working on a fantasy book as time allows, and will start a
book blog soon.
Feel free to stop by and check out my booklist or drop me a friend request, I am fairly new to the Goodread's
neighborhood.

Magic is illegal for everyone except the wealthy noblemen who make up the Magicians' Guild. When Astrid's mother is arrested on suspicion of magical terrorism, it's up to Astrid to rescue her from certain doom.I love fantasy and sci-fi and really look forward to meeting all of you, as well as reviewing your work.

Hello, My name is Courtney!! I'm 16 years old and I love reading YA, Dystopian, and Science Fiction Books!! I am actually not aloud to read books... i know it's crazy!! my parents wont let me. But like the "water boy" said "What momma doesn't know wont hurt her" :)lol So i read books online every night in my room from 10 (my bed time during the school year) till 3-4 in the morning. I actually just started reading book in February. My parents finally! let me watch the Hunger Games and when i finished it it seemed like there was things missing in the movie. so my guess was the book had all the missing information. I asked my parents if i could read the series and they flipped out and said no. well yes i disobayed my parents and found it on the internet for free. And within 3 days i had them all read. I LOVED THE SEREIS SOOOOOO MUCH!! That i went to Google and typed in "Other books like the Hunger Games" and the reast is History!! Since February i have read about 20 books including every book SERIES being made into a movie this year except Percy Jackson and The Enders Game. They're next on my list after i finish the River of time series. My second Favorite books i have ever read!! LOVE THEM!! SO.......i have read all them book online for free in my bedroom secretly without my parents knowing for 6 months ;) (Oh and after i asked if i could read HG and my parents said no they said i wasn't aloud to read any book unless it was Christian) I am now a BOOK NERD FANDOMS FANGIRLING LOVER!! And when i start my first job in 2 weeks my first paycheck im buying my FIRST BOOK!! after i read it my friend Mary Kathren (met her at Books-A-Million)Said she'll keep every book of mine on a shelf in her room till i move out ;) (If my parents found them they would FLIP!!)

Hey guys! My name is Megan. I'm from Texas. I'm 22 but have a huge love for young adult novels! Super excited about this group! I love the reading challenges!!
Haidere stranger, hopefully once you're done reading this, I won't have to call you that anymore c: Anywho, I'm a nearly-15-year-old in Dubai with a knack for accidentally losing contact with every single human being during the holidays and turning into leper. I'm an introvert and a tad anti-social and I'm not too sure if I'm okay with that, but my bestie makes up for it; yes, I'm talking about my laptop. Books took over my life about five years ago when I picked up the perfection that is Harry Potter and I've been sobbing my heart out over them ever since. Music's a part of my soul and you'll probably find me spending all-nighters watching TV shows if I'm not busy blogging away or devouring my bed. Did I mention I was lazier than a sack of potatoes?
You might say I've got dual personalities: queen of diplomacy and easy-going (not to mention, semi-awkward at the few unwanted times) with my friends and a cooker waiting to explode with the rents. Alas, life works that way for me.
I'm sure there's a shitton of other things I could say, but I'd rather not fry your brain any further.
Catch me on dracomalfoyx for an insight on the fangirl part of me!
Oh yeah, and call me Sam c:

Hello my name is Marie and I love to read anything i can get my hands on.. I'm sixteen, and while the rest of my junior class is usually out and about in the summer, more than likely you'd find me home reading outside with one of my hundreds of books I've adopted.. I am a book-alcoholic

Hi! My name is Emma and I am 13. I am from the San Francisco bay area in California, but have lived in a couple different places.
