Hello! :)
I'm Natalie! I'm from the United States. My favorite books/series (some of them) include Caraval, Etiquette & Espionage, The Book Thief, and Mosquitoland. My favorite genres would probably be mystery, fantasy, dystopian society books, some romance... I also like Harry Potter, any book by Rick Riordan and so many others I can't think of right now.
I like to play tennis and volleyball, love to read (well obviously), love art of any kind, and like to swim. I love anything Disney, the beach, the ocean and the TV show Death in Paradise :)
My dream job would probably be to work for Disney drawing sketches of characters, and possibly even bring back the original style of animation (like in Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, etc.)
I'm very excited to have started this group so I hope we have a lot of fun and bookish times together!

Hello! Thanks for joining!

Hey everyone!
My name’s Grace, I just turned 14, and i’m from the U.S.

My favorite genres are middle grade and YA fantasy and contemporary. I also enjoy a good mystery, though I don’t read enough of it. Some of my favorite books/ series are Harry Potter, books by Rick Riordan, and The Fault in our Stars.

My dream job? I’ve never really had one set thing I want to do in life. I’ve always thought it would be cool to be a teacher, but there’s no way I would teach with today’s public education system. I think it would be amazing to be a disney animator and get to design the characters. It would also be cool to be a writer. Really the only thing I’m positive about is that I want to be mom.

I love art. I paint, draw, sew, crochet, craft, pretty much any form of art you can think of. And I’m always trying new things to add to that list. I’m also realy into music, I play piano and ukulele and I sing. Ima a huge musical theatre nerd and love participating in plays.
I’m really glad you invited me to this group! I am just now getting into reading YA books, so I hope this group encourage me to read more of the genre and give me good book recommendations. I also can’t wait for the challenges.

[[deleted user]]

Welcome Grace!

[sahrai]

Hi guys!
My name is Sarah and I'm turning 14 in February
I live in Canada and I'm Afghan

My favorite genres are anything YA, fantasy, mystery or crime and I'm trying to get back into contemporary but the fantasy world has swallowed me up and I crave it like no tomorrow!

Some of my favorites books/series are Harry Potter, Rick Riordan books, Cassandra Clare books, The Hunger Games, and a lot more but those are the ones I think of off the top of my head. I'm currently reading Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo and I'm absolutely loving it!

Some of my hobbies include: Writing, Reading Cooking, Watching Anime and cooking while in deep conversation with my friend! My favorite subject in school is English(because it's the only one I'm good at), my dream job is to be a published author or if that's to big of a dream then a high school English teacher but im leaning more to the other side of things. l like watching sports but suck at playing them. I have 4 sisters and 1 brother who are all older then me and the main thing that motivates me to do any school work or studying at all is food with my friends on a Friday night when we just handed in a project and say how proud we are of ourselves that we survived the week!

I got and invitation to this group from Natalie! thanks for the invite!

Hello and welcome sarah!

Hello everyone! My name is Kajsa (which is pronounced like Kaisa), I’m 18 years old and I come from Sweden.

Some of my favourite series are:
- the Gentleman Bastards
- the Dark Artifices
- Renegades
- Harry Potter

When I’m not reading or am in school I’m probably at handball practice (yes, this is a real sport and a big one at that in the majority of the world even though it’s close to nonexistent in the US).

[Angel Abigail]

Hi, my name is Angel. People always think that Angel is some sort of nickname, but it is My real name. My middle name is Abigail, but only my former English teacher used to call me by that name.

I am 17 years old. I live in Norway, but I come from Rwanda.

My star sign is Virgo. I don’t really know what that entails.

I have always liked reading my whole life. However, it was just recently that I picked it up again, and started watching booktube and really getting invested in the reading community. Plus, my high school library is pretty great. The librarian always buys inn the newest books she finds people talking about on booktube, so good/relevant books have definitely been a motivation.

I love YA contemporary, sci-fi, and I have recently started getting into some more fantasy. (I would love some recs!)

I would love to make new friends and talk to people here on goodreads<3
