Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Introduce Yourself Here so we can learn all about you. You can talk about your different interests, talents, books, ages, anything really!

Here's my introduction:
Hi! Thanks so much for participating and joining my group. My name is Jacquelyn and I love baking, reading, playing basketball, and reading! (Oops, did I already mention reading?)
I love hardcover books and lately I have really liked some of the Dystopia novels that are coming out lately. I have like the biggest TBR list in the universe. I have a little list on here but I have a couple pages filled with book titles I want to read!
Some of my favorite foods are tacos, ravioli, cheesesteaks, and mashed potatoes. My favorite color is lime green and teal. My favorite book is probably Divergent but I also really liked Hunger Games, and the Fault In Our Stars. I also am currently reading Me And Earl And The Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews and I'm reading Gone by Michael Grant. I love both of these so far. By the time I finish these they might be my most recent books on my favorites list! So that's me !

Trip  (shardsofromance) Hey! Lets see, I'm not that good at introductions sorry.
I love reading, Anime and video games.
I cant cook and I'm not that great with sports, mainly to lazy though...
I usually read online or with my kindle lately, but every now and then a paperback is awesome.
My TBR list is way to long and I am trying to read some of them now as well as getting rid of a few~
Favourite colours are red and white.
Book favourites are constantly changing currently they are the Morganville vampires and Divergent though.
Recently been trying out new genres so any recommendations are thanked.

Miss Deva (missdeva) | 51 comments Hi guys, I'm Noelle. :)
I love reading, which is sorta obvious since I'm on here but ya, I'm a vivid reader.For example,I can finish a 600 page book in one day.Maybe even two if I'm bored.( Though they would have to be a good books.)I like all kinds of book types as long as they can catch my attention.(Sorta like my men,lol) I have lots of favorite books but I'm still looking for my ultimate all time favorite.My favorite color is violet and my favorite animals are wolves and cats (White tigers, household cats etc.) and I wish I had one.A household cat I mean, though it would be cool to have a white tiger,lol. I love photography, particularly the black and white kind, and hope to one day be a photographer. I'm sort of mixed between a tomboy and girly girly. I love sports,working out,tattoos,motorcycles,hanging out with my guy friends but I also love shopping,fashion,cooking, and any thing that has to do with glow in the dark stuff,especially nail polish and makeup. (Though I don't really wear makeup.)I love music, any type really, and am a vivid listener,there isn't a time I'm not listen to any. And my favorite place in the whole world is California, where I hope to move to someday.

~Can't wait to meet everybody~ ^^

Nicole | 48 comments Hello, my name is Nicole and I'm 18. I have always loved reading from an early age. If I had to choose between buying books or clothes (or anything else for that matter), I would defs buy books all the way!!!
My favourite genres are contemporary, dystopia(lately) and historical fiction. I am currently in college studying Health Science. Basically, if you are as into books as I am, then you are automatically my friend :)Recently, I have been reading lots of classics(both for school and on my own) so I am in need of a good YA read! I hope I can get the chosen book for October :D

We will have two books you will be able to read! You can read both of them or just one. One of the choices is going to be a standalone book and the other book will be part of a series. I will set up a different poll for the standalone and series book later in September!

message 45: by Gisbelle (last edited Sep 01, 2012 11:02PM) (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Hi everyone! Happy to be part of the group. Well, I am 24 and On December I'll be a quarter of a century. I love drawing, reading and talking about books. I'd say I love cooking also, if only I could cook.

I read all genres, but YA contemporary is my absolute favorite. Frankly, I just started reading romance last year. Before my books were mostly horror. Recently, I've tried to read some GLBT.
Now I read most of my books on ereader since the book shelves are kinda full and it saves me some money.

Some of my recent favorite books are Don't Let Me Go, Pushing the Limits, The Boy Who Sneaks in my Bedroom WindowOnyx, What I Didn't Say...


message 46: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi!! My name is Andrea. I'm 27 YRS old and I live in Mississippi!! I'm a stay at home mom of a 3 yr old daughter. I love to read! Like seriously love to read. I'm pretty sure I'm addicted. Probably need to join some support group to help me control my addiction. Haha. I do love to read anything and everything. Historical romance, YA, paranormal, contemporary, suspense, and thriller's. I do love music also. If the book has a playlist, then I'm in heaven. I do not have a lot of free time after my wifely duties, motherly duties, and Reading. But I do love to have fun. I try to stay away from Youtube, because if you watch one cat meowing the alphabet, then two hours later you 've moved on to babies doing funny stuff and you are finding hard to tear yourself away!!! I'm excited to be in this group! YA has a special place in my heart!!
