Hey bookdragons!
To connect a bit better, we thought it would be nice if we could all introduce ourselves and share our instagrampages and/ or (book)blogs! This way you can promote your personal pages a bit (only rule is, that your page is legal and doesn't host inappropiate content.)

If you want to share another bookclub, you can do that as well, as long as you don't bash our bookclub along the way. Of course we would love you to be happy enough with our bookclub, but bookclubs are also about connecting, about putting in pride and effort and it should be acknowledged and rewarded. We will however check for inappropiate content and if we see a need for it, delete sites that aren't meeting the stated criteria. I hope you understand! ❤️

So to start it off, here's my little intro!
I'm Michelle, I'm 26 years old, studied graphicdesign and I'm currently working to take over our familybusiness. You probably know of my two cats King Lui and Madame Mim. ❤️
My blog is madamescozycorner.wordpress.com and is about psychological stuff, books, life and nerdstuff. My bookstagram is @madamereadsalot aaaand I'm from Germany!
That's all I guess!

Nicole Marquez  (nika_leann) | 5 comments Hi! My name is Nicole. I'm 17 and I love to write and read. Which you probably already knew. I share book pics in my bookstagram: _bookepiphanies.

I love to talk about books with people. I love K-drama and I also have a special attachment with wattpad and learning new languages and cultures.

I think that's all (?) >…<

Hola, amazing people! :) I'm Abeer from the bookstagram @lookingforabura. I'm currently working and living in Dubai but I'm originally from the Philippines.

I read any genre and I like to discover different authors, that's why I'm grateful with this community because I get to know more books and I'm able to meet new people, and some of them I consider friends like my @WeTheBookDragons co-moderators. <3

So, that's it! Let's get acquainted! ;)

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) Hello lovely people :)

My name is Dannii and my Instagram name is @Dannii.Elle.Reads

I am 25 and have graduated with a BA in English studies and an MA in Literature, Culture and Society. I am in the midst of setting up my own website to feature my blog posts, book reviews and short fiction and am participating in NaNoWriMo for the first time this year to (hopefully) get my first novel off the ground.

I love to read just about everything but have a passion for Gothic, classic and dystopian literature.

Valerie (book_doll) | 4 comments Hi everyone! I’m Valerie, I’m 29 and in the US. I was a history major but didn’t finish, and hope to go back to school in the near future for history and/or English. In the meantime I work in healthcare doing social work and admissions.

I’ve always been an avid reader, but I’m fairly new to bookstagram and am working on getting a blog up and going. I used to write a crafty/lifestyle blog so I’m looking forward to getting into blogging again. My Instagram is @book_doll (I’m also @whimsicalteaparty, where I formerly posted my book photos before having a bookstagram.) My blog, once it’s active, will be www.thebookdoll.wordpress.com. I like various genres; what I pick up at any given time just sort of depends on my mood or what I’m interested in at that moment!

Dela Dela (authordela) | 1 comments Hi everyone! A Bookclub that has 'dragon' in it, sign me up!

I'm Dela and I live in Las Vegas. I actually was born and raised here and it is such a good city to raise a family, surprising, I know. I am 33 and have 3 kids, I know I'm ancient to a lot of you, but our love for books makes us not only the same but ageless don't you think?

I wrote my first novel, THE 52ND, in a span of almost 4 years. Today is the 1 year anniversary actually since its been published!

I like to play tennis and snowboard and escape to different places in a good book. I am constantly thinking of new stories and love love love to be interactive with all of you on my social media. My bookstagram is @dela_author. You can usually find me there. I do have a YouTube account, link is in my Insta bio, but Insta is easier to stay active. My website is www.delaauthor.com if you wanted to know more about how and why I wrote THE 52ND.

Hope you all have an amazing day today!!

AmeliaaXavier | 1 comments Hello booknerds!

I'm Amelia, a 20 y/o Slytherin fangirl who major in Fangirling, Book stagram-blogging & Shipping Fictional Characters. I love reading since I can remember & I will always steal my time to read and write but I sold my soul to law school..

I have an Instagram account where I post bookish photos at My Bookstagram & a website where I blog about books and post my full reviews of books that I've read at AmeliaaXavier.com and I also do booktubing where I filmed myself talking in front of my camera alone & babbling more about books at My Channel.

I'm from a small country called Malaysia (maybe some of you might know). I am also a Polyglot, which means I can speak 4/more languages (Malay, English, Mandarin, Cantonese & Spanish) & hope to learn more in the future.

I love reading in general no matter what is it; books, fanfictions & even wikipedia. My favourite genre of all time is Fantasy & I hope I can read all fantasy books that exist in this world.

Nice to meet you all! x

Jcarrine32 Hello! My name is Julianna! I have a fairly new book blog at ponderstumblehumble.blogspot.com. I'm also a college student so keeping up with it is a little difficult, as I'm sure you all realize. But! I'm about to write a post about a book I just finished, so stay tuned!

Laura (berry_bookish) | 3 comments hiya :)

I'm Laura - a 27 year old graphic designer living in south Florida. I live with my husband, two kitties (Pippin & Suki), and LOTS of books :D

I just discovered the #bookstagram community back in July, though I've been on goodreads for years. Joining this community has seriously increased my desire to read and I'm so grateful to find like-minded people to discuss books with! I've even started writing again because being around you guys is so inspiring!

Fave genres are YA, fantasy & historical fiction :)

Cheers!


message 13: by Fatima (new)

Fatima (tototamboosi) | 2 comments Hello! ♡
My name is Fatima and I'm from Saudi Arabia. I'll turn 18 this December. My obsession for books started back in 2012 when I first read that Taylor Swift was featured in the soundtrack of The Hunger Games and soon after I decided to read the trilogy, which was followed by an endless trail of TBRs :p
Oh and the second fact you might not have concluded already is that I basically love Taylor Swift. And giraffes. And the latest book I've added to my favorites shelf was Stolen by Lucy Christopher.

I like to try every genre of books but my least read genres are non-fiction and classics.

I don't really post anything about books in any other social sites. Maybe on Twitter occasionally. @tototamboosi
And I'm thankful for this fantastic dragons community :) thank you!

message 15: by adam (new)

adam (adamdubrueler) hello! my name is adam! (and if you can't tell, i hate uppercase letters!) i am nineteen years old and live in richmond, virginia. i attend vcuarts (the number one public arts school in the us) and i study photography and film, but i also like reading.

what i like to create involves creating my own worlds and stories, but in a visual form instead of through the written word. reading has gotten me out of my comfort zone and has taught me so much about the world i live in (as well as worlds that don't exist). i am able to visualize these scenes which inspire me to think of new things and encourage me to create for myself and others. this may not be able to shine through on my account, but i truly value originality, but to create something original you have to borrow from someone else.

i love to be a part of a community that will always be there to back me up with whatever i do. i have now been a part of the community for a year and don't regret a single minute of it. i love and care about everyone and this group, i can't wait to see where it goes because "we are on a rollercoaster that only goes up."

recommend me any psychological thrillers or horror novels because i am a lunatic.


message 16: by Melissa (last edited Oct 28, 2015 02:49PM) (new)

Melissa | melisthereader (melisthereader) Hello everyone, I am Melissa and I live in Norway :-)

I'm 23 years old and just finished my BA in English and am proceeding with a year course in Norwegian studies and then hopefully a year where I learn to become a teacher. I also work in a small bookstore where I live and have worked there for almost 5 years.

I started out reading only YA dystopia books but managed to squeeze in some fantasy and got hooked. I have also been able to crawl out of my comfort zone this year and can read alot of other genres besides the typical YA books ;P

You can find me on instagram and youtube at MELISSASBOOKS ^^


message 17: by Sylvia (new)

Sylvia (sylvitus) Hi! My name is Sylvia and I'm from Guatemala... also one of the oldest in this club, 33 years old.

I work as an accountant (I know, taxes and numbers, and pretty much boring stuff) in a family business. When I was little I loved to read but during my early twenties I just stopped, Uni and work absorbed all my time. Then Twilight happened and I was hooked again. So, now I spend all my time trying to read all the books I have missed and all the new ones that are coming. As you can imagine I have a long TBR.

Fact: If the book was written in english I buy the book in english (there is always something lost in translation). What language do you prefer to read (if your native language is not english)?

Also, most of my books are e-books. And I think I don't own any hardcovers.

Ok, I'm done!! Bye!!

Craig (jenks11) Hi I'm Craig, 25, from Salford, UK.

I'm new to whole reading books for pleasure. Was always more in to TV, films and gaming. Thats why I've decided to join this bookclub as I've recently started to read more and im looking for good books and recommendations. And this a great way for me to find new books and keep the reading bug going.

OHH a fellow 'german' member! And if you recall maybe, my nickname is granny as well. Among the bookdragon mods I'm the oldest with now 27 years and called 'granny' :'D I think in reading, age really doesn't matter. I'm virtual friends here with people ranging from age 40 to age 14 :D So no worries there for being a 'granny' you'd be welcome even if you were 100 years old, as long as you enjoy reading with us! :-)

(And I see no problems with that, seeing you like the exact same genres as me and the bookclub >.

Hi Craig!
That's great you get into books more! (If you ask a bookworm, you'll always get the answer 'The book was better...' anyway! :D)
If you're looking for more inspiration, you might want to check out the bookcommunity on Instagram 'bookstagram'. It's become quite huge and I basically get all my inspiration from there! :) Just a suggestion! :)


message 38: by t. (new)

t. (lavidaenquotes) I seriously thought I had done this already, but apparently not.

I'm Tatiana, from @lavidaenquotes. I studied Economics for my BA and now I'm doing my Masters in Institutions and Economics. I know, it doesn't sound bookish or creative or artsy at all, which is why I don't have a blog and my pictures are, at best, ok. Still, I love to read and I'm so glad I found the bookstagram community that also lead me to a few book clubs, like this one. The thing is, my friends aren't that much into reading, so I never really had someone to tall about what I've read/am reading/want to read, and having this opportunity now makes me all kinds of happy.

Other than that, I'm originally from Colombia but been living in Germany for the past 7 years. I speak Spanish, German, English and Italian and try to read in all of those languages, although English wins by far. Oh, and I'm days away from officially turning 26, although people may tell you I sometimes act a bit younger than that. Say, 8.


message 39: by Audra (last edited Nov 08, 2015 06:45PM) (new)

Audra (bookishendeavor) | 5 comments Hey guys! I'm Audra from midwest USA (think lots of cornfields). I am currently studying marketing & management at my university and my goal is to work in publishing and editing. I started a book blog this summer (bookishendeavor.wordpress.com), but unfortunately I haven't been able to give it much attention because of classes.

Scifi/ Fantasy and Contemporary are my favorite genres, but recently I've gotten into Thrillers because of Night Film for this book club! Still debatable on whether that is actually a thriller though... My favorite book is Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss so if you haven't read it before, I definitely recommend it :)

Yeah! Another German! I guess I do follow your instagram, tho.
It's nice to have some "older" people here, too but yes, in reading age doesn't really matter :)

Robin (featherlyreads) &#x1faba;&#x1fab6; (featherlyreads) | 2 comments Hi, I'm Robin and I am so excited to be here! I'm very new to the #bookstagram community and this is actually my very first book club I've joined!
I've always loved reading and it's my favorite thing to do when I'm not a work lol. I don't know anyone who has a passion for books as much as I do, so I'm so happy to have found there are people just like me out there!
I'm also a PGA golf professional that loves to knit, quilt, and drink beer!

Hello friends! I'm Beth, I'm 20 and I'm from Australia. I just finished my Bachelor of Arts and I should be starting my masters next year. My life pretty much revolves around uni, books, tv and movies, exciting I know.
I'm super eclectic in what I read, I'll give just about anything a go though I do have a to-read list that is so long I worry I'm never going to get to them all.
My instagram has been taken over by books lately but I'm not very good at it so you can find me @readsandramblings at your own peril.
Anyway, thanks everyone and I hope you're all well :)


message 47: by Makenzie (new)

Makenzie Taylor | 3 comments Hey Guys! I'm Kenzie, I'm 24 and currently living in south Louisiana of the U.S but I'm originally from a tiny town in Southern California. I have a degree in exercise science but have been toying with the idea of going back to school to study literature because I enjoy it THAT much! I've discovered that I don't really have a favorite genre, I could pick up pretty much anything and most likely enjoy the read. Besides books, I love being an amateur photographer, I thoroughly enjoy mountains and snow, though I'm not close to any at the moment, and I adore my little cat and dog! I'm also working on getting a book blog started so once that's up and running hopefully you all can check it out! Thanks guys, and happy reading!

Kayla (lovethyshelfie) Hi all!

I'm Kayla! I'm 27 and I live in Ohio with my wonderful husband and our adorable pup! I have BA in Literature and Women's Studies and Masters in Library and Information Science (MLIS). I started working in a library when I was 15 and thus started my Librarian career.

I will read just about anything but horror and high fantasy. I'm not too fond of Non-Fiction but I'm always willing to give something new a try :)

My book-themed instagram is: bibliosoph_bibliophile
Book Blog: bibliosophbibliophile.wordpress.com

I'm looking forward to chatting with everyone.

p.s. I apologize if I'm not very active some days/weeks- I have a full time job and am currently dealing with some health issues that take me away from my home for days on end. :(


message 50: by Esther (new)

Esther (coolesther) | 2 comments Hi! I'm Esther and 14 years old. I homeschool (currently in ninth grade). I love my dog Lulu (which is a very important fact)! :) "Where I'm from" is complicated--I am American, but my dad is white and mom Chinese. I live in Tianjin, China right now (as I have for the last ten years). (Therefore I don't know whether to say I'm "from" America or China; it depends who's asking. ;D) I love reading and writing (but I like writing persuasively more than writing fiction). I also love theological and philosophical discussions, music, word etymology, thinking creatively, international politics, and WWII history. I know English and Simplified Mandarin (and I'm trying to learn Spanish). Oh, also I'm a faithful Christian. My blog isn't a book blog yet, but I'm thinking of starting a book blog category besides my everyday awesomeness category.
You can find it at: estherwroth.webs.com
My Bookstagram: estherreads
My personal IG account: estherwroth
I'd love to check out yours! Just contact me on my blog or either of my IG accounts.
