The Bookish Circle discussion

Introduce yourself to the other members of the bookclub

I'm Lu, one of your moderators (@bookishfactory on Instagram) :) I'm 20 and I'm an english student, and I hope to become a french teacher for foreigners eheh. Other than books, I love video games, playing guitar and bass or just chilling while watching some series like Outlander or Got.
I have a ton of fave books, so I'll just pick my fave authors here: Tolkien, Shannon, Branderson, Martin, Clare or Sarah J. Maas (a lot of fantasy ahah).

Hey booklovers! My name is Tessa (from @mouireads on Instagram) and I love to read - obviously! I'm one of the many moderators for this awesome group.
I'm just your average university girl, sharing her opinions and recommending some wonderful reads. My all time favourite books would have to be Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling and my favourite author (currently) is Sarah J. Maas.

And I want to thank Lu for inviting me to this amazing group!=)

Hellllllo!

My name is Eden (edenlovesbooks on Instagram), a grown up fan girl in Texas. My love for reading started young when my mom would take me and my brothers to the library every Saturday and I came out with a huge stack. I remember thinking even then I loved the smell of books. :)

I mostly read YA (fantasy and contemporary are my faves) and seem to be stuck in that genre more than ever these days, but that's okay. I'm of the opinion you should read what makes you happy. I imagine I'll still be strolling the YA section in my fifties and not being ashamed of it in the least. ;) I'm engaged to a guy who has a love for books like I do, lucky for me. :)

Favorite authors- Melina Marchetta, Maggie Stiefvater, Richelle Mead, Sarah J Maas, Libba Bray, Sarah Dessen

Hi everyone! My name is Kate and I live in the Czech republic. From september, I'm going to start studying Informational Studies and Librarianship at one of the local universities.

I have to admit I can't go anywhere without a book in my bag. I just feel so uncomfortable when I don't have a book somewhere near me.

I read almost everything - YA, fantasy, horror, thrillers... but mostly I prefer classics.

My favourite authors are J. K. Rowling, Jules Verne, Jane Austen, Stephen King.

Hey everyone! My name is Emilie (from @createexploreread on Instagram) and I am slightly (um, completely) addicted to books! I'm a professional wedding & portrait photographer and a freelance writer working on my own novels on the side (romantic suspense and YA sci-fi/dystopian). I'm super excited for this group and our discussions of the fun books we read! When I'm not reading or writing you can find me drinking coffee (oh wait I do that during reading too), eating chocolate, playing guitar, or designing fun bookish things for my online shops (check them out here: http://createexploreread.jimdo.com/).

Yep, that's me too. I need to have a book close by!

My name is Corrine (@winniescreations21 on instagram). I currently live in Los Angeles but will be moving to Sacramento California in the fall so my husband can attend med school.

I'm in my senior year at Arizona State University majoring in English with an emphasis in English as a Second Language. I also work at a community college in my hometown tutoring in English and Literature (I call this my muggle job).

I also run an etsy shop and society 6 in all my spare time with bookish and disney inspired items.(Look here:winniescreations.jimdo.com/). It's a fun little community to be a part of.

Then when I'm truly "free" I like to read and paint. Right now I'm trying to finish the Percy Jackson (Heroes of Olympus portion) series. I don't really have a favorite set of authors but I love reading YA of all types and other types of fiction.

Hello everyone!

I have no idea why I just saw that we have a Goodreads page but oh well... I'm going to introduce myself anyways!

My name is Eleni over at @book.lover14 on Instagram and I am a sixteen-year-old bookworm from Greece! I am in the first grade of high school, and struggling to keep up with all the work at school.

I have been a reader since I can remember! The first book that really got me into reading was (you guessed it) Harry Potter and later on The Hunger Games! I mostly read YA, and my favorite genre is fantasy!

Apart from being an avid reader, I am also a book hoarder, but who isn't, right? I have lost count of the amount of books I own and have still to read!

Lately, I've been obsessed with bookstagram, where I met a lot of wonderful people :)

I am so excited to be part of this book club and I can't wait to meet all of you fellow bookworms and have fun discussing with you!

Hellooooo everyone. My name is Giota and I am 34 year old book addict, English teacher and mommy of a 4 year old little monkey. I live in Thessaloniki, Greece and my favorite genre would be ya fantasy but I like a challenge so I often read books that diverse from my comfort zone. My all time favorite book is A Storm of Swords by George R.R Martin (ASOIAF) and currently I'm obsessed with anything that Sarah J. Maas is writing.
I'm very excited to be joining this group because I really really want to fangirl like crazy but there's no one in my every day life that shares the same passion with me so...yay!!!!!!!! Happy readings everyone!!!!!

Hey guys ! Thank you for inviting me :)
I'm Alycia, I'm 22 and I live in France. I'm going to finish my literature studies in two weeks and I'm looking for a job in a bookstore or a publishing house to live thanks to my passion, aka literature.
This is the first group I join so I don't really know how it works but I can do it because I am always fangirling about books :p
I really love reading YA novels, thrillers and romances. A little fantasy too. I have eclectic tastes in terms of books.
I can't wait to share with you ! :)

Hello! Thanks for inviting me to this cozy cute group✨
My name's Marwa. I'm soon-to-be seventeen years old. I live in Jordan, in the Middle East (that's around the Mediterrannean haha). I'm in love with books (obviously). Apart from reading, I love to write, take photos and make memories. I aspire to be an author. I mostly devour contemporaries, historical fiction, and realistic fiction but I can take in some sci-fi or romance every so often ;)
Sadly I'm going to be a senior in a couple of months so I won't be able to rea much for a year bc it's the busiest year of my life. But i'm going to be an english student in uni so that'd definitely make it up. I'm not a professional bookstagrammer, but you can follow me on ig @starsfallhere

Hello! Just wanted to say you had me on fangirling.
My name's Vivian, I'm 21 and live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Yeah I do read a lot and can go really crazy about my ships.

Many of my books are guilty pleasure stuff, mainly with some random shirtless guy in the cover, apart from that I'm really into historical fiction, fantasy and epic novels. Sometimes I don't read as much books, because god bless the fan fictions. I'm a big fan of GOT and similar books and I have read some classics, mainly Russian ones like War and Peace. I wanted to look fancy, but I did enjoy them. Overall I'm really eclectic, if you say it's good I'm taking my kindle out and reading it.

This is the first time I join a group, so no idea how this works. But here I am, it's nice to meet you all! :)

Hey everyone and thanks for the invitation. I am 30 and live in Michigan in the United States. I have a BA in Biological Anthropology but work as a photographer, mainly doing wedding & portrait work, but also some commercial. I read pretty much every genre, but my favorites are YA, NA, historical fiction, dystopian and thriller. So pretty much everything! You can find me on Instagram at Mrsreadsbooks and that has links to my blog and Twitter. I love book recommendations and chatting about books, nice to meet everybody!

Hi! I am Angel.

I just turned 19 last week and I am from the Philippines.
I have a bookstagram with my sister @alwaysbooked_
I am currently a 3rd year college student taking up BS Accountancy and I started reading novels when I was in Grade 6.
This is actually the first bookish group that I've ever joined :)

Hello!
My name is Elda and I'm a 16 year old girl from Greece. I lover reading books even though I haven't read so many and I can't wait for the summer holidays to read all those books I want!
Other than reading I love drawing/painting, listening to music and going on little adventures with my friends. I've been on goodreads only for a short time and this is my first group which makes me really excited! I can't wait to read the book choice of June!

Hi everyone! :)

I'm Sabrina and I'm seventeen, and I'm from Indonesia! (But here's the sorta tricky bit: I have Chinese ancestors, so that makes me...well, I'm not quite sure myself haha)

Right now, I'm in the midst of taking my A Levels (you may wonder what I am doing on Goodreads...good point), and I have not really considered any major yet for my future. For my hobbies, I enjoy reading (obvi c;), watching TV shows, doing yoga, swimming and just generally hanging out with my friends. I also occasionally post on my bookish IG @acciotales, but I'm on a hiatus now due to said A Levels.

My well-loved books are the TMI/TID series, All the Light We Cannot See, the ToG series and The Martian! I'm sure that list is going to grow even more, now that I'm in this group! <3

Hi everyone! I'm Sharfin (@atinyreader on instagram)
I'm a 20 year old from Bangladesh. I've loved reading as long as I can remember but have recently discovered ways to meet fellow bookworms and share the experience (bookstagram/bookish blogs).
I love chocolates, movies and tea besides books, and I also have a passion for photography. I'm fine with any genre but I rate books very strictly. Really looking forward to getting to know all of you! <3

Anyone know what we are planning to read in July?
