Introduce Yourself <3

[proxyfish]

Hello all, lovely to join a new group! I'm an architect (in training) by day and an avid reader and book blogger by night. I also volunteer for the National Trust and can often be found promenading around (the 1995 BBC adaptation's) Pemberley (or at least sequestered in a darkened, dusty antique-filled corner!). I mostly read science fiction and fantasy... with a good dose of crime, classic and historical fiction in between. Looking forward to wading my way through the reading challenges for 2016!

[Anisha]

Hello everyone. My name is Anisha Munjal, an 18 years old college student. I love to read ( obviously) and write.
I am in a desperate need of a good book. Just finished the Harry Potter series and now I hate my life.
I love every genre except science fiction.

Hey Anisha! Welcome to the group! What type of books are you looking for, exactly? We could throw in some suggestions.

[Hemangini]

HI everyone :D What a nice group! I am in love already.

I am Hemangini & I fell in love with reading since I was in the cradle, my father used to study his course books as he rocked my cradle. He is the man who has fed the bookworm in me and I began writing because of him as well. I shall share it on my blog someday.

I am 27 and I love writing. You can visit my blog at www.mypetridish.com , Happy to be here. I love food, cultures, gardening and traveling.

Nice to meet you all. Hope to be reading buddies with you all.

Thanks Dagny. It's wonderful to have parents who read. I didn't get that but when I wanted to read my parents never stopped me. :)

[Davhn]

Hello all!
First and foremost, I love the group name.
I am a 24 year young body with a very old soul(at least that's what I think) and to say I love books is an understatement.

[Mythili]

I was scanning all possible groups from India that I could join and I knew I have to join this one cos the name is so cool!

I'm Mythili, 24, graphic designer. I'm also doing Literature studies side by side. Reading is like breathing for me. I'm excited to be a part of this group since this is my first. And if you need a reviewer or some such, I'll be happy to help :)

Hi Mythili. Welcome to RMFAO!
We have several reading challenges here if you are interested. The most loved one is The Genre Challenge. You can find them under 2016 Challenges on the home page.
I run a book blog and I'm on the look out for more reviewers. I already have 3 review contributors who love writing reviews for my blog, The Reading Bud. I'm sure you'll like it too. If you;re interested drop in mail at thereadingbud@gmail.com so that we can discuss this further.
I hope you'll make a lot of friends here and will read more than you normally do with the help of our challenges!
Have a great day!

[Alyssa Janine]

Hi guys! I'm Alyssa but you can call me Aly or Shy. :) I'm from the Philippines. I'm a reader (obviously haha) and also a newbie blogger. I just started my own blog this year but became active just this month. (This is my blog if you want to check it out: https://bookhuntressworld.wordpress.com/. I am still customizing my blog and if you have some suggestion, please tell me. Thank you!) My preferred genre are fantasy and YA's. Sometimes, I read some horror and classics too whenever I got bored from my current read. Aside from being a bookworm, I'm also a dancer and a math tutor. :D That's all! :)))))) Feel free to add me here too. :)

[Sundara]

Welcome Aly:) I just joined too. Good luck with your blog! Looking forward to reading with you.

Sundara wrote: "Are you participating in this Book of the month challenge? I know it's late but it's a pretty short book..so I'd suggest you join in :P"

No, I have a lot of books that I need to read and review til the end of this month. But I'll join next month's "book of the month challenge".

Thank you! I've changed my blog theme for 3 or 4 times already before my current one.

Hip-hop and sometimes, lyrical too. It's kinda tiring but I really like to dance so it is fine with me. :)

[Loeka]

Hi people! My name is Loeka, I am 15 years old and I live in the Netherlands. I, obviously, love reading, but I find it hard to combine with school and Netflix. ^^ I read YA and mainly contemporary and dystopian. I want to get into fantasy, but that's kind of hard at the moment. I would love to talk to new people, so feel free to add me!
I'm pretty new to these groups, so I still don't understand everything, hope that's fine. :)

Thank you!!! :))) I have already stumbled around your blog, The Reading Bud and that's where I've found this wonderful group.

[Shrayav]

Hi, I am Shrayav and is 21 years old. I am a student with a lot of spare time to kill and ergo, my obsession with gulping more books than I can read with a pair of eyes (and an occasional extra pair.), Also when I am not trying to be a book-dragon( too naive to be a bookworm!) I try my hands on playing the guitar and listening to music which might sound a bit of a 'truly, madly,deeply' 90's kid!

[Sundara]

Welcome Shrayav

Hi! I'm Cheryl. I just joined your group. I'm a friend of Dagny's and I'm looking forward to the Genre Challenge. I had been in a read rut, reading the same old types of books, so I thought I'd join your group to read something new.

[Dev]

Hey guys! I'm Devyani and I'm from Kerala (Also known as god's own country.. yeah I'm pretty proud of that) I'm 17 and I've been reading since I was 5 so I guess you could call me an avid reader. Other than reading, watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S, Doctor Who and Sherlock the only thing i do with my life is sleep. I hope to get to know you guys better and look forward to some awesome recommendations! :)

Welcome, Devyani! I'm always glad to meet another book lover.

[Avinash]

Greetings! I am Avinash, a book lover. Started to read books, first in regional language and then moved to English, just out of competition with my cousin, and now sort of addicted to them. when paper books filled my small makeshift library I have now moved to ebooks to quench my thirst. But one thing for sure which I completely believe in, no ebook can satisfy the pleasure of reading compared to a paper printed book.

Have a nice day!

[K.S.]

Hello, all! I'm Kensley, a 22 year old office assistant for a local trucking company (which leaves down time for reading at work!). Clerical work is truly my calling. When I'm not typing and answering phones, I'm constantly reading, writing, or playing Neverwinter (an MMORPG similar to World of Warcraft, however it is free, much more enjoyable, and I don't have any friends that play WoW anymore). I am also a 'cool' mom to a wonderful, dinosaur-and-disney-loving 3 year old, and a wife to a Scottish lad who is just as weird as I am and who also just happens to be my best friend.

I am hoping to start going back to school in Jan. 2017 for writing, because other than owning my own bakery, becoming an author myself is another goal I hope to achieve. I love all things horror, science fiction, fantasy, and most young adult novels (because it's nice to escape to a teen's world where your only problem was which party you were going to and who was taking you to prom).

I hope to also begin my own book blog in the forseeable future, or hope to become apart of one. Happy Reading to all!

[Cheryl]

Hello, Kensley! I'm glad you are part of this group. You do sound like a cool mom! I, too, have recently discovered Young Adult novels and enjoy reading them. Maybe you'd like to check out the Genre or Classics reading challenges? They are alot of fun. In fact, that's where I found out about Young Adult novels and how good they can be. I'm always learning something new about books from this group.

Yes! I just checked that out earlier! I plan on starting it for November, as I have several Fantasy books on my TBR list, so maybe I can finally knockout Games of Thrones! :)

[Heena]

Hi, Kensley. Welcome to RMFAO! You are indeed a very cool mom! I see that you are an aspiring author... Good to meet another writer. ☺
I hope you'll make a lot of new friends here and get tons of new book reccomendations.
See you around.

[K.S.]

Thank you for the love, Heena and Dagny! I'm so glad I found this group! I feel very welcome already!

[Raj]

hey , I'm raj. basically, I'm a student pursuing my bachelor's degree in computer science. Can anyone please guide me which book to read right now THE WOLF OF THE WALL STREET or THE RELUCTANT FUNDAMENTALIST
