Books Made Me Broke discussion

Welcome to Books Made Me Broke!

Introduce yourselves, let us know who you are and what kind of books you enjoy!

I hope you have fun in this group!

Almost forgot my introduction lol. I'm Jenn, I'm one of the two moderator's (the other is Nosce te ipsum (♫ נєѕѕι¢α ♪)) that oversees this group. I enjoy pretty much all genres of fiction, even classics (go Sherlock Holmes!!!).

I'll be starting a thread soon where you can add suggestions for ways to improve our group, as well as suggestions for books of the month and stuff like that:)

Thanks!

Hi all, I'm Kim. Lately I've been reading mostly YA since that's the genre I write and have always been drawn to. I like books with happy endings; it's okay if they make me cry or scream, but in the end I want to feel good.

I like urban fantasy/sci-fi, some paranormal, contemporary and thriller. For a long time I was addicted to Stephen King and Dean Koontz. Outside of YA I'm a Laurell K Hamilton fan. Just love a kickass female protagonist.

I have a YA/NA book review blog for anyone who's interested:
Once Upon a YA Book

I'm excited to be part of this group! Can't wait to talk books with everyone.

Hi Kimberly! Welcome to the group. I'll definitely be checking out your blog. :)

Hi my name is Heather. I read about anything. Amish books, mystery, fiction, romance, ya. I have about all of the hardy boys casefiles books, all of the r.l. stine (fear street) books, and cheerleaders series books.
Married with two kids a girl (5) and a boy (3). Im 37

Hi Heather, glad you joined!:)

I've never tried reading Amish books, but my sister used to be obsessed with Amish tv shows. *eye roll* lol. Anyways, I hope you enjoy being a member!

Hi! I'm Sapir and I love reading everything YA. My favorite genres are contemporary romance and dystopian.

Hey Sapir!

Hey! Welcome to the group. A really good book that has a lot of action and romance is Graceling. Its one of my favorites. Also, you might like to check out the Mortal Instruments series and the Gone series.

Hey, welcome to the group. :) As I said above, Graceling is a great fantasy book! You might enjoy it.

Hi Angelli, thanks for joining!

I would definitely reccomend Angelfall it's like a dystopian paranormal action-adventure. The main character is really kick-butt.

Dustlands: Blood Red Road by Moira Young was a good dystopian read, if you can get past the lack of quotation marks.

Hi everybody!! I'm Trinity, Im 13 yrs old, i love the color blue and I made my own group and would love new members ~>http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1...

Now I have to find Graceling.

Hey guys! I'm Chris and as you can easily guess I loooooove books. I really like every genre but I mostly read fiction/fantasy. I also like young adult and dystopian.

I'm currently reading the Maze Runner Trilogy and today (hopefully) I'll start reading the 3rd book. I really enjoyed them so far.

P.S I wanna be a writer :)

Hi Chris! Welcome and thanks for joining:)

I read the Maze Runner trilogy too! (the second book is the best, imo)

I think it's awesome that you wanna be a writer! What kind of stories do you write right now?

Welcome to the group Chris. :)

Hey y'all! My name's Bonnie, I'm an English Education major (creative writing) at Waynesburg University. (: I just joined. I love American Lit and the classics, mostly. Also, dystopian (:

Hi Bonnie! Welcome to the group! I'm Jenn:)

Greetings, My name just happens to be Tabreya. I was drawn here because I finally found a group of people who have gone through what I went through: Books making me broke. Like one minute I had 50 dollars and the next I had 10 cents and a bag of books. I feel like I'm a junkie and books are the only way to get my fix. :) Anyways, as you can see, I love to write and I love to read. I hope my time here is fun!

Hi Tabreya! Glad you joined:) I totally know how you feel about spending tons of money on books lol. Literally 80 percent of my money is spent on books. I'm pretty sure we have an actual addiction lol

Hello everyone! I'm Allie and I joined this group because I was bored and started looking through groups and this one caught my attention. I enjoy talking about my favorite books, but I never can find people who share my love for them as much as I do. I hope I can finally do that here and with all or some of you. :)

Salutations (I'm in one of those moods)! My name is Imari and I joined this group at the suggestion of a friend (Tabreya). I've actually been looking for a friendly group of people that I can get along with. I love to read and write and this seems to be a great place for people just like me. I also enjoy commentating on books or shows with my friends. It makes it all the more hilarious. I enjoy most genres of books.

Meow! Hi everyone! I'm Lina, and I'm a book fanatic. I read everything I can get my hands on (currently Hamlet by Shakespeare), but I prefer YA or classics. I'm a young(20 years) crazy catlady (meow!). But I am partially sociable too (If people only were smarter, I probably would be anyway). Oh, well! Nice to see you all :D

You're the one who is late tho xD. And hey Lina! That greeting was awesome. I feel your pain about wanting to talk to smart people. There's always that one class where I have no one to talk to but people who think it's weird that I speak proper English.

YOU talk to me EVERY DAY what do you mean you "feel your pain about wanting to talk to smart people." Am i not smart?!? LOL In those types of classes i keep to myself and contemplate my navel. And sorry Lina for skipping over your intro. Greetings!!!

Wasn't talking about you or our/my other friends. But in those classes.... those are the ones where I feel like I'm losing brain cells. But it's all good! As long as there is another person in their whose a bookworm, I can make do!

What annoys me the most is that i thought it was going to get better at uni, but noooo. But I'm glad someone share my pain!

Hi everybody! My name is Apple Blossom (not in real life) lol. I spend most of my money on books and every time i get out of a bookstore i realize im broke! What to do...!!?!

Hi, Apple! I suggest library or (if you're like me and hate borrowing books) I suggest a used bookstore. They have pretty much everything you can want if you find a good one

Hey Lina, nice to meet you! Unlike you i love libraries so thats a good option xx

Welcome, Imari! I enjoy talking about shows too. I think I'm going to start a folder so we can share about our fav t.v. shows:)

Hi Lina! I like reading a classic every now and then too. Not sure if I could make it through Hamlet ( tried watching the movie. couldn't understand a thing they were saying) Anyways, I hope you enjoy being in the group!

Welcome to group, everyone. :)

Hi! I'm Rebekah and I love to read basically anything but lately I've been reading a TON of Sci-Fi books and I love dystopian books. I love books that have strong characters in them like Clary, Tris, and June. I'm new and I'm so excited to be a part of a group! :)

Hi Rebekah, welcome!

If you like books with strong female characters then you might like Angelfall. It's also our BOTM.

Ello' my name is Ariel.I love reading all types of books. i guess my 2 favorite types would be post-apocalyptic and,of corse, comicbooks. i am thrilled to start being a part of this group, so thank you :)

Howdy people, the name's ayomide. Books are my obsession, it is not even funny. Basically I love reaing any young adult fiction book as long as there is a tiny bit of romance in it. I just read sweet evil by Wendy Higgins, and oh boy. I am hooked on the trilogy. I recently bought a product called book in a can, which is basically the smell of books in a can and it is like my marijuana. Looking forward to participating in upcoming group discussions

Welcome Ariel, Rebekah, and Ayomide. I hope you guys enjoy the group :)
