grace (thehouseofhades) Hi!! I'm Grace and I'm 20 years old! I live in the U. S. and I speak English and Spanish (i'm Mexican-American, by the way). ^-^
First off, I want to express my excitement of this book club! Can't wait to read books, with you all!
Bookish facts about me:
•I consider myself a #Slytherclaw.
•I LOVE young adult books, I'd say that it's the genre that I 99.99% read from the most. I also enjoy fantasy/high fantasy books!!
•Favorite books (and series) include: "Harry Potter", "Throne or Glass", "The Lunar Chronicles", "Pride and Prejudice", and "Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe".
I have a more extensive list of books in my Goodreads "favorites" shelf. :)

Hi!! I'm Amber! I'm 17 years old! I read pretty much all YA and I love mostly fantasy and some sci fi! Some of my favorite books/series are The Mortal Instruments, the Lux Series, The Shatter Me trilogy, Carry On by Rainbow Rowell, A Court of Thorns and Roses and Throne of Glass!!
Other that reading, I really enjoy writing and I also love art.
Im super excited for this bookclub!! I love communicating with all of you guys and talking about the things we've read!
Also, I'm a ravenclaw (I did retake the Pottermore quiz and I'm still a ravenclaw luckily)

Hiiiii! I'm Naomi, nineteen years old, born and raised in Florida! I speak English and have just recently learned ASL (American Sign Language).
-- I have always considered myself a Ravenpuff, but the new pottermore update told me I was Slytherin and I'm suffering an identity crisis.
-- I read primarily YA, but I go into whatever genre catches my appeal. One day it'll be a dystopian, another high fantasy, the next contemporary, etc.
-- My favorite books are also interchangeable but as of now it's still To Kill a Mockingbird, Fangirl, the Red Queen series and the whole Lunar Chronicles.
-- I attended high school in an art magnet program (PCCA) for the visual arts so basically I'm art trash, kinda, and I have a tendency to shove successful drawings in other peoples faces because five years later and it's still hard for me to believe I can do this.
-- I am attending college, majoring in Psychology and minoring in Creative Writing. I have about two book ideas right now that I'm trying to unravel and plot, but it's unsuccessful so feel free to ask me for writing help because it's a good distraction. Plus editing others is reading and writing so what more could I ask for?


message 6: by Marilyn (new)

Marilyn Hello everyone! I'm Marilyn! I am 17 years old and I live in California!
- I love reading (that much is obvious) and I usually read YA . I also love mystery and thriller books, although I don't read them so often. Some of my favorite books include: The Night Circus, I'll give you the sun, and Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe.
-I love listening to music! Some of my favorite bands/artists are: The xx, Florence + The Machine, and so many more. I love 80s music too.
- I am a Ravenclaw, but I have yet to be sorted again, so who knows.
- I also speak Spanish and English :) I'd love to learn Italian or Russian.
- I'm super excited to attend college in the fall! As of now, I've been accepted into 3 schools :)

I love Cosmic Love too! It's so hard for me to choose what songs I really like, because I love them all! Sometimes they change from time to time, but I really love "Which Witch", "Rabbit Heart", "HBHBHB" and "Drumming Song".
And wow, that's awesome! I'd love to learn. Let me know if you do end up taking it!

message 16: by Katie (last edited Feb 26, 2016 09:12AM) (new)

Katie (katiekat917) | 4 comments Hi everyone! I am Katie, and I am a 23 year old Hufflepuff living in the western U.S. (So now it looks like I'm the oldest!) ;)

I love to read YA, but it is not exclusive - like several of you, I dabble in other genres if the story grabs me! :) Some of my favorites (always changing depending on my mood) include The Night Circus, Trick by Natalia Jaster, anything by Tamora Pierce, The Throne of Glass series, the Lunar Chronicles, Harry Potter, A Darker Shade of Magic, The Abhorsen Trilogy, The Graceling books, and anything by Maggie Stiefvater (In no particular order). Lately, I have been listening to audiobooks because I can't read a physical book at work ;)

I love the outdoors and animals, and thus my degree is in Biology! I am currently at a desk job, but this summer I will be continuing my favorite line of work as an environmental educator!

Besides being a science nerd, I love languages (I have studied 5, though I am fluent in none), history, and art (though i have little talent for the last).

I love to meet new people and chat about anything! I look forward to getting to now you all - feel free to add me as a friend or chat anytime! :)

message 22: by Abby (new)

Abby (abbyrobinson) | 1 comments Hi, I'm Abby! I'm 20 and I live in Florida. I love the YA genre, although the last couple of years I've been branching out into regular literature and adult fiction. One of my favorite genres is high fantasy and am currently waiting (impatiently) for the last installment of The Queen of The Tearling trilogy. Some of my other favorite series are The Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner, Eragon by Christopher Paolini, the Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater and the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series by Laini Taylor. However, my all time favorite series is the massive Warrior Cats series by Erin Hunter, I know they're kids' books but I've been reading them for most of my life and I buy a copy of each new book as it comes out. I love books with LGBTQA characters (being a part of the community myself) and I'm always on the lookout for books with magical realism (like the Bone Gap by Laura Ruby or The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman) and anything with witches. I haven't read the Harry Potter books (they were strictly forbidden in my house growing up and I'm currently looking to buy a set that won't break the bank lol) but a friend and I are slowly making our way through the movies for the first time. I guess that's all I can think of for now! I'm so happy to be a part of this group!

message 32: by Angela (new)

Angela (ohkayreader) Hello all!
My name is Angela Kay and I'm 19 years old. I'm currently a sophomore in college and like everyone else I'm an avid reader. I mostly read YA but I've been bridging into 'adult' books. My favorite genres are high fantasy, contemporary and (to my dismay) historical romance.
My favorites are the Lumatere Chronicles, Diamond of Drury Lane, Red Queen and just about anything by Tamora Pierce.
My biggest struggle with reading is that I go through reading slumps a lot, especially while school is in session but I'm working on it!
Can't wait to get to know you guys better!

Meaghan Hi, I'm Meaghan. I'm now the oldest at 26 (if you want to kick me out that's fine). I'm from Canada-if you want to know anything just ask! There is no such thing as a stupid question. -I'm in Gryffindor in Pottermore (I was also a lucky beta tester!!!)
-I speak English and some French (sometimes I mix both when I'm tired but DO NOT ask me to write an essay in either language. I suck).
-I primarily use my phone for everything so if stuff gets cut out, it's because I've hit something
-I read anything that I can get my hands on
