[Jadi]

Hello, I'm Jadi. I'm on the downhill plunge of being a college freshman. My major is English. I attend Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, way way down south.

I read a lot, last year--despite what my Goodreads stats say--74 books.

I like college a lot more than I liked high school.

Hi Jadi. I totally agree college is way better then highschool

[Whitney]

Hello all! My name is Whitney and I'm 22. I am double majoring in environmental science with a concentration in biology, and in secondary education. I am also getting a minor in geography. It is taking longer to get through college than I thought, but I loving every day of my long journey.

When I'm not up to my ears in school work, I try to let my creative juices flow by writing, crocheting, beading, reading, or knitting. If those activities don't calm me down then I head outdoors with my dogs for a walk.

[Sashana]

Hey, Whitney and Jadi. Welcome to the group :)

[Ben]

Go MSU!! I am a junior at MSU and an English Education major!

[Josie]

Hey there.
My name is Jocelyn. I am 19 and would be working on my sophomore year at WKU, however I am currently taking some time off. When I start back soon, I will be majoring in Art History.
This time off has allowed me to really focus on the things that I love the most such as reading and writing and French things.
:)

[Joi]

Hi everyone!! I'm Joi, pronounced Joy.
I'm graduating this spring, technically I'm still a college student :D This group seemed mildly perfect for me and my tastes..... I'm a business major in oregon, with a psych minor, and clearly, I love reading. But I'm not a quiet bookworm, I'm a loud one who loves singing and dancing and acting like an idiot. I am like 5 stereotyped characters rolled into one, because I love going out and doing the college experience, but I also love curling up with a good book alone.

Feel free to say hello :D

[Niel]

Hi Joi welcome to the group

[Jenni]

Hi everyone! *waving hands*
I'm Jenni and I'm from one of the nordic countries in Europe; Sweden. I'm 20 but turning 21 this september and I'm majoring in economy. Usually when i'm not doing some papers or having examinations I'll will be reading massive of books, everything from paranormal/scifi etc. to manga/manhwa :D I found this group by accident when I was browsing through a friend's group list and I found it interesting enough to join, so here I am.
But because I'm now in Shanghai and studying a course in chinese the frequency of readings have decreased, but I'm always finding ways to read some chapters a day. I think sooner or later I will become a bookworm xD (or already am)

[laut]

Hi, I'm Rhianne! I'm from the UK, and I'm going to study Psychology at the University of Cardiff in September.

[Myriam]

Hi, I'm Myriam. I'm 22 and I am done with studies (Languages at college). I'm from the province of Quebec, in Canada, so English isn't my first language.
I read a lot in English, because most of the time, I can't wait for a book to be translated before I read it...
I usually read 5-6 books at the same time (one in the bedroom, 2-3 in the living room and I always carry at least 2 with me.), which makes me a bookworm, I think...^^

[Natalie]

Hi, I'm Natalie. I just joined this club and will be a freshman at Baylor University this fall.

[Mallory]

Hey guys!
My name is Mallory. I'm 22 and a recent graduate of the University of Florida with my Bachelor in French and Chemistry, and moving to Boston in the fall. I've always loved reading, and being an only child I often escaped to whichever world I was currently reading (to this day I still wish there was a Hogwarts and I would get an owl asking me to attend haha). This is my first experience with book clubs and such….I really don’t know why it took me so long to just bite the bullet and commit. I’m usually the one giving my friends recommendations on which books they should or should not read, and I find I’m constantly on goodreads anyways so why not join you guys and finally have people who love reading as much as I do give me recommendations?! I just finished reading “A Discovery of Witches” by Deborah Harkness (loved it) and the new Sookie Stackhouse novel, “Dead Reckoning”. Looking forward to our reading adventures!

[Gothica Noctua]

Hello everyone,

I'm Hannah. I'm 20 and I'm from Leeds, England. I'm also new to this online forum / book club thing, but I wanted to give it a whirl!

I recently transferred onto the second year of an English degree at my university (courses are usually 3 years long in the UK), since I decided that I wanted to study something that I'm passionate about - books! I start my studies in September and, despite some nerves, I can't wait!

In general, I love books that can make me laugh, and I often read humour novels that have sci-fi or fantasy settings. My favourite authors include Sir Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Robert Rankin and Sue Townsend.

I also love the theatre and read plays quite a lot - two of my favourite playwrights are William Shakespeare (no, seriously, I read his stuff for FUN!) and Tennessee Williams.

I also love music and learning foreign languages.

[Colleen]

Hi there everyone, I'm Colleen. I'm 21 and from South Africa, though I've been living in Zimbabwe for the last five years. I'm an avid writer, and I've published my first fantasy novel a few years ago. I'm now on the third book in the series.
I love reading all things fantasy and adventure especially epic fantasy, like Terry Brooks and David Eddings. I love art, music and nearly anything involving creativity and imagination.

[Chloe]

Hey guys! My name's Chloe and I'm an 18-year-old junior in college, living in Texas. My major is Fine Arts although I'm hoping to minor in Creative Writing, and whenever I have a free moment (particularly on summer and winter breaks), I love to read as much as possible.
I'm new to GoodReads and I'm excited to find as many new, interesting books as possible, so please feel free to add me as a friend! I'd love to see all of your book lists and get recommendations.

Hi welcome. I have wanted to go to Ireland for a while, what is it like living there

[Tracey]

Hello,

I'm Tracey and I'm 21. Currently, I'm studying at my local CC and them I'm transferring to Portland State University to finish my English and Chinese majors. I love reading but I find that I have very little time for it these days. When I do find the time, I read a little bit of everything and I'm willing to look into any suggestions given.

Other than reading, I like writing, photography, doing mixed media art, making jewelry and music (listening and playing).

Not bad, if you dont mind the occasional rain, i must admit i do prefer Belfast better, as the nightlife and shopping are better, Dublin is quite an exspensive city but theres always something to see and do, i reckon you'd love it :)

[Niel]

Thanks I have wanteed to visit so i thought why not ask a local about it.

[Ariel]

Hi everyone! I'm Ariel :) I'm 20 and attending George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon. I love reading, and read all the time! Seriously, my free time consists of either reading or computer work. :P I also love blogging and I love the blogging community! Hoping to meet even more friends through this group :)

[Sashana]

Welcome to the group, Ariel!

[Jessica]

Hey everyone. My name is Jessica and I'm excited to be in this book club group. I love reading even though I am in college and love learning new things. I really think it's important to continue reading even after high school. Reading is fundamental we read things all the time so it's nice to develop that skill i guess. :)

[Ariel]

Welcome Jessica! I totally agree! :)

[Niel]

yes it is

[Jessica]

thanks :)

[AB]

Hey all, I'm a freshman at Bryn Mawr College outside of Philadelphia. I'm pre-med, majoring in neuroscience.
I like reading fiction- mostly sci fi and fantasy but I'll read pretty much anything... I'm a major fan of dystopias right now, though.

Welcome to the group everyone!

[[deleted user]]

Hi everyone I'm Tabby. I am somewhere between a junior and a senior and in the process of my 3rd transfer (4th college in 4 years!) Hopefully this is the one! I'm going to be starting at Murray State University with a major in Veterinary Technology. I've been an English major for the past 3 years but it's just not for me. So I have a few more years to go. . .any questions about the transfer process or what counts as a good reason to transfer I'm your woman! :-)

[Sashana]

Welcome to the group, Tabby.

[Jade]

Hello everyone, I’m Jade. I’m 18 and a sophomore. I just transferred from Florida State to USF. I’m studying Classics and Art History. I LOVE books, I can’t put in words the joy I felt when I finally got my own bookcase, ha :). Reading, watching movies, and pretty much anything that tells a good story are essential to me. I’ve never been in a book club before so this should be fun!

[Sashana]

Welcome to the group, Jade. USF and FSU are in my top five schools to transfer to.

[Aimee]

Hi :) I'm Aimee. I'm 18 and I've been using goodreads for over a year but I haven't been using it to socialize, so I thought I'd start! I'm going to begin my first year at the University of Virginia in August where I'll probably be deciding between majoring in English or Middle Eastern Studies. Books are my best friends... that's me in a nutshell!
