What’s your name? What do you like to read? What do you like to do besides reading? Here, write down any facts that you don’t mind sharing

My name is Kiley. I live in boring Connecticut. I like books so much, specifically big ones that are parts of a series. I like Harry Potter, the Hunger Games, Divergent, or any YA fiction books. I also do gymnastics and play basketball. I like music a lot and bouncing on my Air Track.

Amanda Minnock (mandyizzym) | 1 comments Hey! My names Amanda and I live in Scotland, UK. I absolutely adore reading, I think fantasy/dystopian YA is my favourite. When I’m not reading you can usually find me binge watching Netflix or prime! I have recently took up drawing which I’ve found out I’m not too bad at so I’m going to look at moving into digital art. I want to do more art/craft things this year! I think I may also take up walking, I’ve heard it’s so amazing for your mental health an Scotland has so many nice places to hike.

Hello! My name is Abby. Well, My Goodreads name is soul eater...
Not my real name of course. I live in Eugene Oregon, USA. I love reading, but not as much as my sister, Amelé. I usually am watching anime on Netflix or Hulu. I'm almost always watching or reading Naruto or other Manga like that. My favorite genres are Manga, Graphic novels, Action Fantasy, young adult, and thriller. I love drawing or playing music.
I'll except anyone as a friend, so feel free!


message 6: by [deleted user] (new)

My name is Christina and I, of course, love to read! My favourite genre has to be fantasy and science fiction though I love to explore any kind of genre I currently am exploring greek tragedies and mythology generally. I am an avid fan of Star Wars and slowly trying to read all of the expanded universe novels. I mostly just relax if I’m not reading which is typically editing or watching shows.

message 16: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer Wheeler Hey everyone, I’m new! Let’s see...I’m happily married, 41yrs old with a 16yr old son & 2 stepsons age 24 & 21. We have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a tank full of fish. I work nights, and am lucky enough to be able to read while at work 😁. I enjoy a really wide variety of genres, and I have a bit of a book buying addiction - I currently own over 700 books that I haven’t read yet...but can’t help buying more 😅. Aside from reading, I also colour in colouring books, and I’ve actually gotten pretty good at it. I’m always interested in new friends, both on here, and on Facebook (Jennifer Louise Wheeler, same profile pic) if you’re there. Honestly, I mostly goof around on Facebook & post pics. Anyway, I look forwards to getting to know everyone & interacting within the group. ☺️👋🏻

I enjoy reading books by Marissa Meyer, Brigid Kemmerer, Dorothy Koomson, Sophie Kinsella & Becky Albertalli currently. I am also very into reading Plays by Oscar Wilde - amazingly written. I am excited to get into reading much more and finding out about more great authors and books that are out there.

Hi Amanda,

hiking, or better long distance walking, sure is very good for all health, physial and mental. I used to do long distance paths in the UK, like the Two Morrs Way, the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, the Coast to Coast Path and a lot of the smaller ones and some of my own planning.

It kept me fit into pension age and even though I do not carry a 40 pound backpack with provisions, sleeping bag and tent together with some spare clothes around, I still am very fit and walk whenever I have the opportunity.

Walking gets you to appreciate the small changes on the way, how the pattern of vegetation changes, what wildlife/birds you see and hear and of course the vistas you find from vantage points, all of that calms the mind and gives you emotional balance.

Monique S. (monique1109) Hi, my name is Monique and I live in Brittany, France. I write novels and I also love reading other peoples work. At the moment I am discovering the fascinating world of lesbian romance, as my last two books had heroines, who were lesbians.

I am into the environment, organic gardening and permaculture, renewable energy and female county/rock singers as well as classical music.

I am fit and healthy still at 66 years of age.

 Reed | 21 comments Hi I'm reed. I don't share my age. I'm from the US. Specifically the land locked state of Colorado. My favorite books and authors and genres. Oof, this is going to be a long one. Where do I start. Ok . . . genres: I love YA, but I also read non-fiction, science fiction, fantasy, mystery, action adventure, and a little bit of horror. Not that big on romance. Sorry, I just can't even with that stuff.
Books (note S- stands for series):
Percy Jackson (S)
Harry Potter (S)
Jason Bourne (S) -- Still reading
Throne of Glass (S) -- Still reading (If I could only get to Barns and Noble :( )
Kane Chronicles (S)
Ready Player One
Keys to the Kingdom (S)
Lockwood and Co.
Heroes of Olympus (S)
Trials of Apollo (S)
Sherlock Homes

Mark Twain
Robert Frost

Hobbies: I golf (12 years), fencing (9 years), acting (8 years), rock climbing (14 years), Frisbee (??? years), Piano (5 years), talking to strangers (17 years and counting).
When I get out of college I would like to become a rhodes scholar and travel the world and learn. After I would like to become a astrophysicist or a particle physicist. I would also like to be a writer and actor for SNL. My friends tell me I have a great sense of humor, while my parents tell me I have a bad and dry sense of humor (Is that a complement?). After SNL I would like to be a screen writer or a actor, with my major of physics backing me.

Well that is all I think. I'll read anything. If you ever need a good joke to lighten up your day. I'm that person.
