Get To Know Each Other

[Ivaiah]

Hey! Every group needs a place to get to know each other. Here are some questions to get you started:

What's your name?
Where are you from?
How long have you been into reading?
Favorite book/s?
Pets?
Hobbies?
Ebook or physical copy?
What word is the weirdest to you?

I'm Ivy, a 20 year old from Colorado.
I've been into reading as long as I can remember.
My favorite books include, but aren't limited to, Harry Potter, Fire in the Woods, the Coldest Girl in Coldtown, the Hobbit, and far too many more to list.
I have a black cat named Maggie, she's all sass.
I love to play music and write in my free time.
All about the physical books.
Moist. It's disturbing, to say the least.

Hi!
I'm Courtney, I'm 23 and I'm from South Carolina.
I've always enjoyed reading (I come from a family of readers), but I've gotten more involved over the last few years.
I have many favorite books, but some of my favorites are those by Brandon Sanderson (I'm on my 18th and still haven't been disappointed), Dean Koontz (I just love Odd Thomas), and of course Harry Potter.
I'm super into animals. I have horses, cats, dogs. And I think that's it. My two main pets are Lily (my horse) and Figgy (my cat).
I'm a writer and horseback rider. The two best things. :)
Personally, I'm a physical book person, but kindle books have become a norm for me (I get so many free ones in exchange for review).
A weird word...Hmmm...My favorite words are audacity and horrendous. Not really sure why. Not sure I would say they are weird either. But they are the ones I thought of. :)

[Amber]

My name is Amber. I am 23, currently living near Phoenix, AZ. I grew up in Bellevue, NE with my 4 sisters and 1 brother.
I have been reading since April 2014. I know that's not that long, but that is when I discovered booktube and other people as into Vampire Academy as I am. Then, I started watching videos about the young adult genre, which I didn't even know there was a whole community out there that I would be able to connect with so well.
I have a puppy named Nala, age 1 1/2, (lion king) who I am obsessed with. And a cat (3 years) named Mr. Tux. He is very lazy and my goal is to have him trained to be like Garfield. (serious life goals. lol)
I mostly read YA fantasy and contemporary. Vampire Academy is still my favorite book series. I do love Maybe Someday (New Adult), The Selection, Harry Potter (I have only read the first 4 SO FAR), Paper Towns, Kiss of Deception, Throne of Glass..... just to name a few.
I would have to agree that moist is a super weird and gross sounding word.

[Megan]

I'm Megan, I'm 16, and I'm from Ohio!
I've been reading since 5th grade but I wasn't serious about it until my sophomore year. My Favorite Books include the vampire academy series, the bloodlines series, The Anna and The French kiss companion trilogy, and Throne of Glass!
I don't have any pets, but I really want a puppy. Other than reading, I love dance & music. I definitely like physical copies more than Ebooks. I love having a collection of books I love on my shelf :) I can't think of a word thats weird to me now.. but I bet you later on I will think of it and be like " dang I shoulda said that"
So, feel free to add me, I love interacting with people! :)

[Jess]

Hey!
My name's Jess and I'm 10. I'm from Victoria, Australia. I have only started reading solidly for a year, but I enjoyed reading in 2013. Oh god! That's tough. Some would be City of Glass, Legend, Vampire Academy, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, The Hunger Games & Divergent. I own 6 pets. 2 dogs (Misty & Pippa), 1 Goldfish (Comet), 2 horses (Combo & Fritz) and a cow called Gemma. My hobbies are reading (obviously), writing YA stories and book photography. (+ watching the Walking Dead). Physical all the way! I love seeing my progress through the books and I collect books. The weirdest word to me....hmm. I would have to say rambunctious or bonkers.

I'm Isabel, I'm 18 and I'm from Portugal. I've been reading since I was a teen by I really got into it 4 years ago. I love Harry Potter and anything by Gayle Forman and so many other books. I have a dog called Potter. My only hobby is anything book related. reading and blogging mostly.
I like both physical and ebook. I like to have physical copies of my favourite books but when I know a book won't reach my favourites I don't mind having the ebook format.

I have a dog, Megg and a cat, Rocky. I like doing crafty stuff. I prefer phisical copies of book but I''m starting to read more eBooks because I can carry more that way.

[Emma]

Hello. My name is Emma. I am 18 years old. I am a freshman in college. I love books and reading. I don’t always have time for reading but I try and force more time for it into my busy schedule. I started my booktube channel quite recently actually. I started it in September 2014. I love it and am really enjoying it. So far I have 81 subscribers, and I am so excited to post more videos and hopefully see that number grow. Also I love being apart of the booktube community because you meet so many amazing people.

My absolute favorite series is the Harry Potter Series. I have loved that series since I was a kid and it is my favorite series ever. I love a lot of different series tho. A few other series I am obsessed with is the Percy Jackson series, the Selection series, the Divergent series, and the Lux series. I just started reading The Mortal Instrument Series, and I am obsessing that now too. I basically get obsessed over every book I read but these are some of my top favorites.

Some other basic things about me. . . My favorite color is purple, or blue it goes back and forth. I love shopping and have a obsession with shoes, high heels and cowboy boots mostly. Other obsessions I have are hot guys (but who doesn't), Disney (specifically Tangled), and also Captain America. I love Chris Evans as Cap and I also love the comics. I have recently started getting into going to Comicons and cosplaying. So far I have been to 2 cons, and I cosplayed for 1. For that con I cosplayed Sue Storm (the Invisible Woman) from the Fantastic Four. Right now the next con I will attend is in August 2015. For that con I am working on cosplaying Rapunzel from Tangled.

Well, I really don't know what you would like to know about me. So, I will just leave it to that. If you want to know more let me know.

Emma <3

[Aileen]

I'm Aileen and I live up North in Canada. I've been reading for a long time now and I still remember that in preschool, when we were allowed to pick a birthday gift from the preschool teachers, I picked a book. :D I love Harry Potter and other books, but mainly Harry Potter.
I also really like to draw and paint and play piano and I write occasionally. I also like sleeping.

[Kaojoua]

Hi everyone!
My name is Kaojoua (pronounced COW-jew-uh). I am 23 years old and from Wisconsin. I have always loved reading and am pretty much the only one in my family that does, so it's been great finding a community of people that love reading. :)
I have a lot of books that I love, including Harry Potter, which is probably a default. But I love pretty much everything by D.J. MacHale, especially his Pendragon series. Basically, I just love anything fantasy with a hint of romance (though I detest love triangles).
I don't have very many hobbies, but I enjoy writing, singing out loud to Taylor Swift, and shopping for new lipsticks. I have an obsession with lipstick.
I can't really think of a word that bothers me, outside of 'fetish', but ain't think that's mainly because it's a word that never seems to be used in a normal, non-creepy way.
Anyway, I think I answered all the questions, and that's pretty much an intro to me. :D

[&#x1f499;]

Hey everyone!
My name is Hayley, I'm 22 and I live in the highlands of Scotland. And yes, its too cold for my liking lol. I only really started reading books when I was 16/17, but then I fell in love and I couldn't stop. Some of my favourite books include the Starcrossed series by Josephine Angelini, The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black, and newest to add to the list is Cinder and Scarlet by Marissa Meyer :D
Pets, I have two golden retrievers, Charlie and Bracken, and I have a leopard gecko which is technically my partner's, he got him when he was 8 and his creative name is lizzardo haha!
My hobbies include drawing (I hope one day to be an illustrator), Swimming and travelling :)
Physical! I love a beautiful hardback on my shelves.
I always think the word salopettes sounds funny whenever my mum talks about going skiing.

[Lindsey]

Hi ^.^ I'm Lindsey from Indiana, though born in California. I've moved a lot haha. I have been reading since 3rd or 4th grade when I picked up Matilda. That book set me on my reading craze. My favorites would have to be Harry Potter(of course), The Scarlet Letter, The Selection Series and most anything by James Patterson. Don't currently have any pets but hopefully getting a Klee Kai in the next 2-3 years :)
As far as hobbies, I'm a gamer and a reader so if I don't have my nose in a book I'm on the computer playing something. I personally prefer physical books but don't mind when others read ebooks. I don't really have a weird word that I can think of, but I do have a favorite word; Antebellum. I rarely see it used but when I do I get a little thrilled. I think its beautiful and classic. Anywho thanks for reading!!! Nice to meet you all <3
