Fadwa (wordwoonders) | 9 comments Hello friends!

If you're joining us for this readathon and would like to meet others who will be reading with us, introduce yourself! Tell us as little or as much as you want about yourself (name, hobbies, favorite genres, favorites books, random facts, etc...)!

We're excited to get to know you all ❤

USOM (utopia-state-of-mind) | 32 comments Hi everyone! I'm Lili and I blog at Utopia State of Mind! I ADORE the Reader series...if that wasn't already obvious. I love SFF books, but never re-read books so this is so exciting for me! Some of my hobbies include hand lettering, drinking tea (if that's a hobby?), and eating as much kimchi as I can.

I won't have my copies of the books for a few more days, but I'm so happy to have you all!

Hello there, I'm Anna :)

I blog over at Reader and Proud and the Series to Finish challenge page. It will be my first time reading the trilogy. I was always intrigued by The Reader, probably because of that title, so I am curious to see what I think about it and how it really is. This will be my first readalong so I am really excited!

Apart from reading, I also love TV and movies, which I'm trying to watch more of, plus anything related to superheroes. And I'm on board with the tea as a hobby thing.

I will start reading mid-January probably.

laura (bbliophile) (bbliophile) | 9 comments Hi everyone! I'm Laura and I blog over at Green Tea & Paperbacks. The Sea of Ink and Gold series is my favorite SFF series and I've never reread it because 1) I just don't usually reread books and 2) I was terrified that I might like them less a second time around. But I started my reread yesterday and I'm very happy to report that I'm still very much in love with the book!

Anyway, apart from reading and blogging I also love to bake, journal, play stardew valley and listen to music. And if drinking tea is in fact a hobby (I vote yes!) then it's definitely one of mine as well.

I'm very excited to be reading this series with you all, and I'm looking forward to seeing your updates!

Cande (iamrainbou) | 2 comments Hello! I'm Cande and my blog is Latinx Magic. I'm also one of the cohosts of Latinx Book Club so yeah, I love readalongs! I'm super excited to read this series with all of you, it has been on my tbr for so long and I LOVE SFF.

Hobbies? I've been getting into journaling, watching TV shows and rearranging my shelves (for the number of times I do this, it has to be one of my hobbies at this point).

Have any of you listened to the audiobook? I'm not sure if I should get the audio or the ebook...

CANDE HI the first time I read this book I listened to it as an audiobook and I really liked it, but there are a few little clues and things that are in the physical book that you might miss. But I'm not sure if they're in the ebook either so, uh... Anyway, I don't think you can go wrong either way, both are excellent.

Thank you Laura! Oh, that's interesting! I'm going to see if my library has a physical copy available then...

Jenna (Falling Letters) (fallingletters) Hello everyone! I'm Jenna. I blog at Falling Letters. I'm a children's librarian. I mostly read middle grade, but the plot of The Reader intrigued me. It's been on my TBR since it was released, so I'm using this event as a kick in the pants :P I don't often participate in readalongs (this might be my first?). I'm looking forward to discussing these books with everyone :)

I haven't, but I know that there are a few little beautiful things in the physical copies - no idea about the ebooks

Zoe | 6 comments Hello, I’m Zoe! I’m a college student studying Trumpet Performance. I don’t have a blog but I used to have one in high school and am considering starting it up again. I love reading just about anything. I mostly stick to Young Adult and Middle Grade but occasionally venture into nonfiction.

I have already read The Reader, but it is one of my favorite trilogies so I am super excited to have an excuse to reread it.

In terms of hobbies I basically just practice trumpet and read, I don’t have a lot of time for anything else. I occasionally crochet and am currently working on a Baby Yoda doll.

We always love a re-read and I've been so emotional since starting this re-read!

Trumpet sounds Amazing! and BABY YODA

Fadwa (wordwoonders) | 9 comments Hello friends!

I'm Fadwa, the last third behind this readathon and I'm VERY late to introducing myself! I finally got around to starting THE READER today and decided that while I update that discussion, I might as well introduce myself too haha!

I blog over at Word Wonders and I also have a youtube channel and a bookstagram. This is actually my second time reading this series. Well, almost haha. I actually read up until halfway through the third book in November when I decided that I'd forgotten too much from the first two books and that I'd wait until this readathon to read it properly.
