message 4: by Danielle (new)

Danielle (hhamlet) | 1 comments Hello there, everyone! My name is Danielle. I'm twenty-one years old, currently studying English in college, and hope to one day be able to publish books of my own. Most of my time is eaten up between attending school and working, but I always try to squeeze in reading time when I can. I'm a huge fan of fantasy and historical fiction in particular, but I'm willing to give just about any type of book a shot. Harry Potter is my favorite series of all time, but I'm also head-over-heels for The Raven Cycle, The Bronze Horseman, The Lunar Chronicles, and just about anything Rainbow Rowell's ever written.

Usually the wine is combined with one of the aforementioned activities.

I can't wait to do book bingo. I think this will be a great way to find new books.

Anyway, I love to read YA and will read almost every genre within YA. I will occasionally read MG or adult books, but not as much. I don't know how many squares I will be able to complete, but I always love a good book challenge!


message 36: by Mark (last edited Dec 19, 2015 09:09AM) (new)

Mark (markimusprime) | 1 comments Hello everyone, my name is Mark and I'm 26. A couple fun facts about me is that i've seen a president live, and i've been on tv 4 times. I'm a Front-end web dev, morning riser, fitness enthusiast, book worm, technology news freak, and all around random guy. My Fiancee is the one who brought me here, and this seems like an interesting thing to do this year.

My favorite genres are Science Fiction/Fantasy and my favorite series is Red Rising (even though I need to read the last one..) I'm that confident about it. I can't wait to try and hit BINGO next year!


message 37: by Enci (new)

Enci (neniko95) | 2 comments Hello peeps! I'm Enci, 20 and I come from Hungary. I'm currently in my second year of university studying economics. In my spear time I like reading (obviously), riding my bike, swimming and watching tv shows/movies.

I've participated in the 50 books a year challenge and I finished up a couple of weeks ago already, so the BINGO sounds similar, just a little bit less of a commitment which I appreciate finding a book to fill up every category was hard and I had to put aside a couple of books that I really wanted to read because I couldn't fit them into the categories, so the amount of books in the BINGO looks like the perfect amount for me and I'm pretty excited to start reading books for the given categories.


message 38: by Jessica (new)

Jessica Hi everyone my name is Jessica and I am from London, England. I love a variety of different genres but I tend to read mostly contemporary. I love joining groups and talking about my interests online because the majority of my friends don't share the same passion for reading as I do. Other than reading I also love movies and TV shows (I fan girl pretty hard)

Lizzie (lizziebigbooksandgrandelattes) Hi, everyone! My name is Lizzie, I'm 20 years old and I'm from Michigan! I'm currently in my third year of college and I'm majoring in Dance and Psychology!

I mostly read YA fantasy, science fiction, and paranormal, but I do read some NA. I guess my favorite series would be the Something Strange and Deadly series and my favorite author is Susan Dennard. I love book challenges and I'm really excited for this one!
