Summer Reading Book Club discussion
Starting off & Information
>
Introductions
Hi! My name is Kertu and I'm a university student in Estonia. I'm majoring Computer Engineering. On my free time I enjoy making notebooks and other papercrafts. I mostly enjoy reading Fantasy and that's why I'm pretty sure I'll be joining the Fantasy and Historical group. Although Mystery and Horror might have some good reads, too.
Hi I am Helen from Liverpool, UK. I am 36, favourite colour is purple (useless info, but you can have it anyway!!!)I read a lot of fantasy, but the past few years I have been reading across genres to broaden my reading horizons. This broadening has been great and I have read some amazing books that would have otherwise been far far away from my book radar. I think I am going to cherry pick the books I will read from the different groups (if that is acceptable).
Looking forward to reading lots of great books with lots of great people. Happy summer to you all!!!
Hi! My name is Sarah, I'm 23 and I'm studying Creative Writing at university. I enjoying writing and I will read just about anything I can get my hands onto. I did the Summer Reading Club last year and really enjoyed it. I look forward to doing it again. :) xx
Hello! I'm Alyssa from the United States and I'm sixteen. My favorite genre is fantasy, but I also enjoy historical fiction, mythology, dystopian/utopian, and science fiction. I already have Snow Like Ashes - a candidate for the Fantasy group - so I'm excited to start!Can't wait to start reading and discuss these awesome books with other book lovers! :)
Hi! I'm Rachel. I tend to read children's/YA (any genre) most of the time, as that's a large part of my job. I'm really excited to read some things that aren't for work, so I'll probably skip around the different groups.Thanks for having me!
I'm Valerie and I hail from Winnipeg, Canada. I'll read almost anything, from chick-lit to military mysteries, sci-fi to westerns, tho almost always fiction. I look forward to the book club to read some books I might not have otherwise, and I love talking about books.

Hey guys, welcome! It's great to meet you all!
Hi! I'm Ifrah and I'm from Seattle,WA. I love YA and I've especially been enjoying YA Fantasy. I'm a bit obsessed with Throne of Glass. The group I join will ultimately depend on the chosen books for the different genres but might favor Marina's group for these first two weeks. I'm really excited to read and discuss with everyone!
Hi everyone! My name is Killian, and I'm a librarian from Michigan. I mostly read YA (especially fantasy), but my tastes vary like crazy, and I'll give just about anything a shot. I'm excited to get started !
AH! I'm so freaking excited! I just moved for my new job at DRC and I have yet to meet any people in the keys who get as overly excited about books as i do... And considering the only two bookstores are about an hour & a half away... I need all the booklr interaction I can get. lol I haven't read a TON of YA recently, but have gotten back into it a bit since I've joined booklr. Paranormal/sci-fi is my favorite genre, & The Mercy Thompson Series is my favorite book (series). It's not YA, but I'd highly recommend it, regardless since it has a little bit of everything in it (POC characters, LGBT+ characters, werewolves, vampires, witches, fae... grumpy old german gremlins...)
I'll probably partkae the most in Summer's group, but I'd like to pop into them all just for book recs, if nothing else, if that's alright!! ^.^
Looking forward to it!
Hi! I am Meg and I am in my 20s. I don't know how much reading I will get done this summer, as I am about to start work, but I'll try! I read just about anything, though I am a little sick of YA right now- I've just read A LOT of it lately. Favorite genre right now is memoirs :)
Hi, I'm Priscilla and I'm a high schooler haha. I love YA fiction (especially romance). I'll be joining Summer's group. I've been wanting to read P.S. I Still Love You, Red Queen, The Heir, Throne of Glass, I'll Give You the Sun, The Sky is Everywhere, and All the Bright Places, just to name a few! I'm currently reading Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor. Can't wait to start reading with everyone!

Hi! I'm Mae, I live in Florida and I'm 18 years old and just finished up my first year of college! I also have a booklr, which is magicalstories.tumblr.com, and I'll be most likely participating in the fantasy and historical fiction thingys because those are easily my favorite subjects!
Hey there! I am Ceisha and I'm living in Missouri. I just graduated college with a degree in History, so I'm in the process of finding my first after college job. I love to read, but haven't got much free reading done during the last semester (except for fan-fiction, of course). I will probably be joining Marina's group, as I love both of those genres. I'm not sure which book I'm most looking forward to reading yet!

Hi!! My name's Haji and I study Business in Uni. I've been in a bit of a reading funk and I was hoping this group would help me get out of it.

I came over from tumblr too

Hi, I'm Trish! I currently live in Texas and just finished my first year at college. I read mostly anything in fiction, but I tend to favor darker books like mystery and thriller.

This time around, I think I'm going to go with Obsidian, which sounds right up my alley! Generally, I read a lot of YA and historical fiction, with a good dose of classics as well. This is my first time reading with a group so I hope it'll be fun!
Hi everyone! My name is Erin, I'm 21. I typically like to read Historical Fiction and Mystery/Thriller. I think I will be switching between the genres as I am wanting to get more into other one genres. I am most looking forward to the Historical Fiction ones though. This is my first time reading in a group so I can't wait to be able to actually discuss a book for a change.
