Hello Everyone. My name is She'Davia. I'm 16, and I LOVE to read. I am always reading and book, and cant go anyone without a book in my bag. I joined this group yesterday, and so far it seems pretty cool.

Hi She'Davia, this is a great group. Book lovers united!
Hi and welcome She'Davia. I take a book everywhere with me too - in my bag to the supermarket, in the car (I have been known to read at traffic lights before now) - you just never know when you can grab 5 minutes.
thanks for the warm welcome everyone
Welcome to the land of sanity in a mostly insane world! It's great that you read so much! When I was sixteen I usually got so into my books that I'd go into the bathroom and read until 3 a.m.! ...Yeah, that was when my dad would yell through the bathroom door at me to put the book down - how on earth he knew I was pulling another reading all-nighter on a school night is beyond me - and go to bed! hee hee! There's a fond memory!! Hooray for bookworms!!! Three cheers!!!
Hi and welcome from another newbie!
Sharee my friends parents do that to me all the time. Its will be like 2 in the morning when m friends dad is about to leave for work and he'll just look at me and say "dont you think you should be going to bed now". And its just like "umm...I'm reading, I will soon". Especially when your at the beginning or end of a book. Its so hard to put it down to go to bed. I dont know what I'm going to do when school starts back up.
She'Davia,as a book lover you couldn't have picked a better group to support you in your love of reading.Welcome to the group.
Good luck on THAT one, She'Davia! I can imagine that your "I will soon" means that you will before sunrise sometime, am I right?? :) Just be wary of books that are especially captivating during the school year. Like, oh, say, The Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer! They're like my Achilles Heel, I swear! I started reading Twilight at 10 p.m. - yeah, starting that late was ruddy brilliant - and couldn't put it down until I had finished the whole bloomin' thing at 7 a.m. the next morning! Booooy did I suffer the next day! But at least it wasn't from wondering what would happen next! Ha ha!!
Heyyy! Welcome to TNBBC!!I def know what it's like to always have a book in the bag, my purse is the size where it fits a big thick book quite comfortably. Clearly it's not to carry my money and credit cards, its for the carrying of my books :-)
haha. I carry around this HUGE canvas bag, that I use for books, makeup, and my knitting. People my age are like "She'Davia...what are you doing?!"
She'Davia, I have been crocheting since I was nine and remember people my age looking at me funny. :)
She'Davia, it's so nice to see a teenager so addicted to reading. You need to come over and teach my kids, especially my 7 year old, a lesson!
She'Davia, you knit too? You are a dream child! Do any of your friends knit and love to read as much as you?
Beth, none of my friends like to knit. But the majority of them LOVE to read.
Well, She'Davia, at least your friends like to read. That's awesome. I really do love to hear about kids who love reading!
She'Davia, sorry I'm late in adding my welcome! I'm also glad whenever I meet an avid reader in someone your age. Glad you're here!
I can't knit worth a darn! Ah ha haa! (Pun totally intended!) Of course, I've never tried, so I couldn't be sure! But I did find some old ladies that taught me to crochet! Soo... did you learn to knit from a book?? :)
no, I learned to crochet when I was 8, and then In July my friends aunt taught me how to knit and I've been obsessed with it ever since.
I also learned to crochet at a young age but I can't get the two needle thing together to knit. Welcome!
I can knit but only when it's winter...I can't stand the yarn touching me when it's hot!!
I have the same problem, April. That's why I like to crochet doilies during the summer months.
Ok, NOW I have to learn to crochet.Can I do that and read at the same time?
I learned how to crochet from my mom. I tried learning to knit from books. I even brought "Idiots Guide: Crocheting and Knitting for Dummies". I must be on the level below idiot and dummy when it comes to knitting because I never got it =/
I think that its IMPOSSIBLE to learn how to knit from books.And April...I wish that it was possible to knit and read at the same time, maybe then I would get more knitting done :)
I'm sure we can come up with some device to hold the book...maybe a miner's hat, and instead of the light we could attach a bracket that would hold the book? Whaddya think?
April, you're a genius. I want something like that so I can read while I walk my dog. Normally when I walk places I just hold the book, but the dog requires at least one hand free and when he chases things I tend to drop the book. A miner's hat could definitely work.
Plus, if you walk into something while you're walking/reading, the hard hat will protect your head!
Jackie, I bought that same book (Idiots Guide) about five years ago. Try as I might, I never got it either. I have been filled with shame at being "an idiot" about this since giving up, but it makes me feel a bit better knowing someone else couldn't get it either. :)
That's great...well not great because we still can't knit, but at least I don't feel so bad for not getting it and quitting. LOL. =)I found a knitting class at the community center which I may sign up for if I ever find the time. I think I just need hands on training.
Hello everyone!I just joined this group today...
Is it too soon to make a list? If not, is there a thread about coming-of-age novels? I don't want to steal anyone's thunder...
Belinda, go for it. I have a huge soft spot for bildungsromans and would like to hear your favorites.
Thanks, Logan! I posted it under the Lists section...I hope that's okay.
Belinda,Welcome to the funhouse for readers. Images in the mirror may appear (and are) closer. This place and these people are amazing. Enjoy!
I say that someone here, goes ahead and invents that miners hat/bookholder. It would do so much good in the world, lol :)
