The LadyGang - Reading Corner discussion

Here a thread to introduce yourself.

I'm Daniela, creator and one of the mods of this group. I'm 24 years old (for 3 more weeks) and live in Austria. I study to become an english and german teacher and already work part-time giving english lessons. My second job is working 8h a week at a bakery. I've been with the podcast since the very beginning as I was thankfully following Becca and Keltie on Instagram at that time.

My favourite genres are thrillers, mystery, anything magical and silly YA (yes I know, but they can be so entertaining). My favourite author has to be Stephen King, tahnks to my dad who has introduced me to his books when I was only 12, and I'm trying to read every single one of his books (which will take A LOT of time).

Hi ladies! I'm Brittany, I live in Wisconsin. I'm just about to turn 32 (a quarantine birthday wasn't my ideal day, but it's where we're at!). Most of my favorite things start with "B": Books, baking, baseball, and beer.

My favorite genres are suspense/thriller and historical fiction, but I like cleansing my palette with some romance or non-fiction as well! I love Jodi Picoult and have read all her books. I also try to re-read Harry Potter every year :)

Hello! I’m Aly and I live in Wisconsin. I’ll be 30 in June and hoping I’ll be able to spend it with family. I love books, animals, baking and hiking.

My favorite genre is probably thrillers and dystopian but I read anything and everything. I’m a fan of Ruth Ware’s books and just finished my first from Colleen Hoover and enjoyed her writing.

I re-read Harry Potter every year as well, especially during times I have a reading slump, I am currently reading book 2 :p

Hi! I'm Brooke, I live in Auckland, New Zealand, and I'm 26. I teach high school Chemistry, the best job in the world. I've always been a big reader, and have always loved dystopian fiction... But currently trying to push myself to read something else, so I'm currently on Bel Canto by Ann Patchett. I don't really know how to use Goodreads, but I'm figuring my way around it okay =)

Hey, I’m Rachel! I live in California and I’m a Math teacher. I absolutely love reading! I’m definitely using my time in quarantine to read the long list of books in my TBR list.

I will pretty much read any genre of book if it has a good story. I’m currently reading the Throne of Glass series, which I know is young adult but I am really enjoying the story and the author’s other series. I’ve also been into nonfiction/autobiographies lately.

Hi ladies! My name is Kalyn!

I am live in Colorado! I am 21 and just about graduate college. My major is communications! I have been an avid reader for as long as I can remember. I have loved dystopian ya fiction since I was a teen. My favorite book is The Selection Series! I also enjoy true crime/ crime books a lot. But I enjoy a lot of other types of books too! I am also a huge hockey fan!

Hi ladies! I’m Sarah, I’m 28, and I live in Cincinnati, Ohio.

I love to read and I love to travel. My favorite place to buy books is airport book stores, it’s where I’ve found some of my most favorite books. They’re normally small and simple convenience book stores but I associate reading with adventures for for imagination so what better time to find a new book adventure than when I’m jetting off on a travel adventure!

I’ll read just about anything, but my favorite genres are historical fiction, fiction, thrillers, and romantic comedies.

I’ve lived in 5 states and 7 cities and I’ve been in Cincinnati for 2 years. I work in journalism and social media.

Hi There ☀️ My name is Jamie! I’m an old soul so I’m new to Goodreads. Before this I’d write my reviews in a journal so this is a whole new world to me.

Last year I read 100 books a challenge I set for myself. I love crime books and writing my suspect pools in the front covers, I love Stephen King like a lot! I also enjoy YA especially fantasy series.

But I also love a classic. I have 15 copies of Wuthering Heights. All from different friends and family members and all inscribed with personal comments. It’s the last book I read every year.

I love that books are like films in our mind, no budgets just limitless imagination.

Hi! Hope everyone is staying healthy and sane! My name is Kelsey. I’m 27- I live in Boston but I’m from Upstate NY originally. I’ve always loved reading. Harry Potter was the first story I remember loving! I work in xray at Boston childrens which is always interesting. My favorite genre would probably be historical fiction however I love anything with some good drama!

Hi! My name is Lauren. I'm 29-- I live in Atlanta, but am from St. Simons Island, GA and lived in Chicago for 10 years. I've been married for nearly three years and have an eight month-old daughter named Vivian. I work in sales for Random House Children's Books so I read all the picture books, middle grade and YA. I also love adult books. I read almost everything, but I'm not super into sci-fi or high fantasy. When I'm not reading, I love to run, hike, cook, spend time with my family, travel, and do anything outdoors.

Hello hello hello! My name is Maddison, and I'll be 28 in June. I live just outside of Athens, Georgia with my husband and our fur babies (3 cats, 1 dog). I have my Bachelor's in Sociology with a Women's Studies minor and my Master's in Public Administration. I work in economic development, so I read some "boring" books from time to time about government and business. Don't judge my GoodReads lists! :)
Even though I will read just about anything, I tend to gravitate towards historical fiction and dystopian fiction with a few love stories and self-help fiction sprinkled in the mix. Malcolm Gladwell is one of my favorite authors along with Jodi Picoult, but I've read two books by Taylor Jenkins Reid which has her in the running to be #1 in my book... pun intended.
When I'm not reading, I'm binging Netflix, walking my dog, swimming, hiking, listening to the LadyGang, shopping, or spending time with family and friends. I've always loved a good story, no matter the format. I was very involved in writing and acting through childhood up until a few years ago. I would love to write books or scripts in the future, mostly just as a hobby.

Hi. I'm Ashley and I'm 33, from Florida. I'm easily distracted while reading so I tend to go for audio books. I love historical fiction, new age romance, and YA. my favorite author is Jamie McGuire.

I’m Michele, a 30 year old St. Louisan who works in healthcare with a side hustle in local politics.

I’ve rediscovered how much joy I find in books during my post collegiate years & have given myself a 100 book challenge for 2020, starting #40 today. My favorite genre depends on my mood but I do generally find something to enjoy in all genres.

Currently Reading: Grand Station by Zadie Smith (Finished Don Quixote for the first time this morning!)

Hi gang!

My name is Faye and I’m 24 from Toronto, Canada.

I’ve been listening to the LadyGang for just over a year now, but I just recently got involved in the social media side of it because quarantine boredom has made me much better at social media than I used to be!

I’ll read just about anything, but my favourite genres are memoirs and mystery novels.

My favourite book is Les Misérables.

Looking forward to reading and chatting with all of you ladies!
