My name is Laura and I'm 16 years old. I'm from the Netherlands. Besides reading I play soccer and I love watching movies and series especially Pretty Little Liars and Shadowhunters. I'm still in high school, but I'd like to study to become an English teacher. My favourite genres are fantasy and contemporary. My favourite bookseries are Harry Potter, the Mortal Instruments and Percy Jackson. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them.

Hello! I am Kristel and I am 14 years old, although in a few weeks I'll be 15. I'm from the Netherlands, and I currently am in high school. Next to reading, I also watch quite a lot of anime, and I only recently started watching some cartoons and Disney movies, which I also really enjoy. At the moment my favourite genre is fantasy, but I don't really mind any genre and will pick up a book if the synopsis interests me. My favourite series are the Infernal Devices and Harry Potter, but I haven't read that many series yet, because I've only started reading again like a year ago. Therefore I have not yet read The Hunger Games, Divergent, Vampire Academy and other series, although I plan on reading them as soon as possible.

Hey! I'm Niamh and I'm 14 years old, 14 in a few months. I'm from Britain although I tend to switch between England and Ireland because of family. I'm in high school. I play sports; love movies, the outdoors and travel, especially long car rides with good music - I love music, too. Genres mean little to me because I just like what I like and dislike what I don't. My favourite book at this moment in time is The Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson even though I haven't finished reading it, but my favourite changes almost weekly.
So yeah. Hi.

Hey Niamh! Welcome to our new group, I hope you'll enjoy it here!

Welcome Niamh! I love music too. What's your favourite artist at the moment?

Hey Laura. Thanks for welcome. Music is awesome, right? And that question is so tough! Even though it changes every day, right now in this second it's probably: Tove Lo, Halsey, Melanie Martinez and Kehlani. What about yours? :)

I really love Shawn Mendes, Tiësto & one number from a Dutch sing and songwriter. It's called Breng me naar het water and it's a duet with Sam Smith so it's Dutch and English. Justin Bieber's new album Purpose is also really good. Sam Hunt is also really good. So many good artists!

I like Halsey and I've heard some great things about Melanie Martinez, I just haven't gotten around to listening to her music yet.

Anyway, maybe we could move this conversation to the Chat topic to keep things clear?

Hyaa~ My name is Jolien and i'm currently 15 years old. I live in the Netherlands and i'm in the middle of my highschool years. I have a lot of hobbies, but one of my main hobbies are: Drawing, writing, reading (ofc ;3), horseriding and playing my instruments. I am currently still in highschool and do a bilingual education which we call "Havo" here in the Netherlands. My favorite genre's are fantasy and sci-fi superatural thingies. I normally do not really enjoy contemporary novels :c (Only if they include a circus, because circus is bae xD) My favourite book is The night circus by Erin Morgenstern. (IT'S SO AWESOME EVERYONE READ IT ♥)

you MUST LISTEN TO MELANIE! I also love Halsey's new song Castle, the Winter's War Version, with orchestra (it sounds more badass).
