Hi Christina from London haha I love that city so much! Wait London UK not London Ontario right? haha

UK! yes. Didn't know there was another one haha! Should of listened in Geography haha

hello everyone! :) thank you sasha for inviting me! 😊💕

Christina wrote: "UK! yes. Didn't know there was another one haha! Should of listened in Geography haha"

Actually the only reason why I know that is because I lived in Toronto for almost two years. And let me tell you, Sydney is also a city in Canada! So if you hear Canadians saying "I'm from Toronto, Ontario" that's because they know that there is a possibility that there are two cities named Toronto haha

hi my name is jessy and i'm from germany. i run a bookstagram and a blog, but discovered the book community through goodreads so this is basically my birthplace haha. i mostly read fanatsy and sci-fi but am trying to branch out a little (always glad for recommendations!). if you haven't read anything by v.e. schwab yet, what are you still doing here? run to the bookstore and buy one (or all).

hi naomi, that is a brilliant idea! the goodreads app is a bit difficult to navigate sometimes, so a twitter list might make it easier to keep up with everyone. but sasha what do you think about that? have you used twitter lists before? i am no expert! :)

Hello! <3 I'm Kylie. 29 and from Canada. Mom of two girls aged 4 and 2. I just got back into reading this year so I'm exploring all sorts f different genres and catching up on a lot of books and series that have been around forever. lol My buddy reads have been failing on me lately so I'm looking forward to sharing my opinions in the discussion and have someone actually reply and discuss the books with me hahaha.

I found Sasha on Booktube, and every day I think about how amazing the internet is that is can connect us across the world so we can be friends.

Right now I have one book I want to read and then I will start COBAB so hopefully you will see me discussing by Sunday/Monday.

Sorry if this is not allowed, and you can delete if it isn't. I just uploaded my first BookTube video, and I would love it if you guys checked it out!
