I have been into reading since a year and a half.. From the very first day I loved writing reviews of the book I read. I thought it was kinda showing my respect to the author for his hardwork.

I post all my reviews on booksreviewwala.blogspot.in

Hi my name is Kelley, I am 45 years old and I live in Phoenix Arizona, formerly from Claremont New Hampshire. I have been a ferocious reader since I was a young child. I read just about anything, though I do love Stephen King. I have managed to pass my love of reading to my daughter, but it is a lost cause when it comes to my son.

Hi Kelly! Thanks for joining this group....Even I've been a ferocious reader since childhood....Hope you have fun here :)

Hey my name is Zarnain Khan. I'm an engineering student. Reading has always been my passion.Really interested in crime,thriller and mystery novels but surprisingly my favorite book is A Thousand Splendid Suns :) Apart from books I'm a total TV addict :)

Hey everyone!

I'm Cat, an event planner in the beautiful Montreal city! Books always were a big part of my life, and even with my crazy schedules I always find time to lose myself in awesome ones. I devour everything horror/thriller/mystery but can appreciate virtually any type.
I don't really have a favorite book... I could never choose only one! But if I had to, I'd probably choose Needful Things by Stephen King.
Looking forward to sahre with you guys!

Hello! I'm Nikki and I live and work in Columbus, Ohio (GO BUCKS!), 22 years old, absolutely in a long lasting relationship with books! I realized yesterday that I've read nearly 20 books since summer started, and that I might as well join a website where I can talk about them with people who love to read as much as I do!

The last book I finished was "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green, and I just started re-reading "Choke" by (my 2nd favorite author) Chuck Palahniuk. I generally gravitate towards novels, and most of my favorites could be categorized as "gritty". I would love to find some people who have the same taste for books as I do and to discuss my reads with a fun community!

Can't wait to talk to you all! =)

Hi! I'm Eunice :)

I just got into Chuck Palahniuk books (boyfriend pretty much glued Fight Club to my hand to make sure I'd read it) and I love it, so I guess I'll put ''choke'' as the next one I read from him :)

Hi Nikki! Welcome to the group.....thanks a ton for joining!! 20 books since summer.....that's really nice! I haven't yet read Chuck Palanhuik.....what type of books does he write?

I even wanted to read Fault in our Stars....hope I can in coming days.

And I hope that you enjoy here and have fun! :)
