Daniela | 8 comments Heard about this lovely book club from Beth and Whytnee's YouTube channels. I am 23 years young and live in Miami, Florida :). I am studying for the MCAT and want to be a ER doc, and as of right now I am obsessed with the movie Gravity and Sam Smith -> check out his song Nirvana and Lay me down he is just amazing :)

Lol! I already have the venue, photographer, ceremony singer, DJ, and my wedding dress has been ordered. This weekend I'm meeting with a florist and a couple bridesmaids are ordering their dresses. :)

When I'm not working or wedding planning, I'm definitely reading. :)

I heard about this through Beth's youtube channel. I had seen a few reviews of the first book choice and it sounded great so I picked it up and joined this group. (Love the first book so far !). I'm 33 and work full time in IT and when not at work I'm usually at the gym:)
fave music; any alt 90s bands (don't judge, lol), fave authors; crichton was tops for me but lately I will pretty much read whatever I can find and usually prefer when I don't know the author.

Nice to meet everyone ! Happy reading:)

90s alt bands are my favorite! No judging from me. :)

message 8: by Kim (new)

Kim Alexander (booksandmusicatk) Hi everyone! I heard about this group from Whytnee's channel. I'd been wanting to read Fangirl anyway since I'd been hearing so many great things about it, so I thought it'd be fun to join this group.

I'm 30 and originally from D.C., but am now living in Nashville where I'm getting into songwriting. Which means I'm currently looking for an actual job until (and if) I can get somewhere with it. I love all kinds of music, though I probably listen to more country than I do anything else. Some of my faves: Parmalee, Brett Eldredge, Thomas Rhett & Jerrod Niemann.

Daniela, I just looked up Sam Smith because I was curious and I really liked him! :)

Anyway, I've always loved to read and I like a lot of authors including Nora Roberts, Francine Rivers, J.K. Rowling and Jane Austen. But I'll buy any book that looks good, regardless of who wrote it.


message 9: by Jessica Mae (new)

Jessica Mae (thewillowreaderxo) Hello :) I heard about this group from all three of them, Whytnee, Beth, & Jamie through booktube as I've been subscribed to them - so happy that 3 of my fave booktubers got together to create this awesome book club!! I love contemporary romance books!!

I'm 24 and working in retail until I can find my calling. Not sure what that will be! Reading is my main hobby and some of my favorite authors are Nicholas Sparks, Sophie Kinsella, Ann Brashares, Anna Godbersen, Marissa Meyer, Emily Giffin, Sue Monk Kidd, Sarah Dessen.... man this list can go on :) But my number 1 is Nicholas Sparks - read and loved all of his books :)

I also love watching tv and these are some of my favorite shows that I'm currently watching: Nashville, the Vampire Diaries, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, Once Upon a Time, Revenge, New Girl, Glee, and How I Met Your Mother! My all time fave is Gilmore Girls!

Some of my favorite movies are: A Walk to Remember, Titanic, Because I Said So, Pretty Woman, You've Got Mail, Made of Honor, the Man in the Moon, Now & Then.. and pretty much every "chick flick" there is!

I love listening to acoustic - type music but also listen to many other genres except hardcore rap or "screamo". One of my favorite artists is Schuyler Fisk - she's an indie singer/songwriter - now a part of the band FM Radio! You should definitely check her out if you love indie/folk/acoustic music! I also love Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Jack Johnson, The Goo Goo Dolls, Sara Bareillis, ...etc. The music on the show, Nashville is amazing too - so I listen to their songs & covers a lot!

And fall time is my favorite time of the year :) <3

It's really nice being part of this group! :)


message 10: by Elin (new)

Elin Sköld (eliinjohanna) | 2 comments I heard about this group on Beth's YouTube-channel and I was directly interested and wanted to join.

I'm 21 years old and I live in a small town in Sweden. I hang out with friends a lot, study a little, work at pre-schools and read a whole lot. My all time favourite book/series is Harry Potter, just because it was the first books I got hooked in and I could stay up all night reading.

I am currently also loving the mortal instruments, the infernal devices, divergent and hunger games. Those are my fav series right now and I can't wait for Allegiant!

As for stand alone books I think my no. 1 favourite is The fault in our stars. I also really like the silver linings playbook and the perks of being a wallflower.

In between the reading and working and studying I love to take pictures and post on my blog. I can take pictures of anything and everything.

I'm always open for new book suggestions so if you know any really good books that you just can't miss to read, let me know! :)

Oh my gosh I know!! Those two are my favorite too! I don't think I could pick a favorite song from them, they are all so good!! But the whole cast is awesome and this show is just amazing! I'm not even a big country music fan, but I can't get enough of the music from the show!


message 13: by Daniela (new)

Daniela | 8 comments I usually get a lot of reading done at night, thus I am behind on Nashville and all my other fall shows - thank god for onDemand :)

message 20: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (ashmarr) Hi, my name is Ashley, I'm 24 years old and I'm from Ohio. I currently teach high school math - and its pretty awesome!

I have been an avid reader since high school, but fell out of it once I went to college. Since I've graduated I have rediscovered my love for reading, especially when it comes to young adult literature.

I have an unhealthy obsession with Audrey Hepburn and all things British. My favorite shows are Game of Thrones, Downton Abbey, Doctor Who, Sherlock, and the Walking Dead.

Looking forward to participating in this club!
