message 8: by Elize (new)

Elize (sadandstupid) Hey guys, I’m Kat, and I am extremely boring. There's a reason I read, and its to fill the giant hole within myself where a personality should be, but ill try to find 5 semi-interesting things to put.
1) My sense of humor is incredibly dry, and my voice is completely monotone, so pretty much no one (including myself) knows if I'm joking or not.

2) I both love and hate reading immensely, but i cant stop now.

3) Really into meme rap and absolutely no other type of music (Reptilelegit stan fr).

4) Almost incomprehensible with the amount of slang and nonsense in everything I write (very sorry about it, but I physically cannot change).

5) Lastly, I'm very socially awkward and paranoid, so if I at some point disappear off the face of the earth and no one ever hears from me again, relax, I'm probably just living out the rest of my life as a hermit in an undisclosed location.

message 10: by Shá (new)

Shá (naturesexplorers) I'm Sha'! It has been really difficult finding a book club on Goodreads since there are so many! 

Things about me: 
1. I work in college admissions. My company has a bookclub, but they've fallen off dramatically since working from home. It has still inspired me to read more. 
2. I love to travel, but have never been out of the country- US.
3. I have an obsession with waterfalls. 
4. I also have an obsession with nature. 
5. I am a pescatarian. I may sound like a hippie, but I promise I am not. =) 

I am just trying to find a small active group that likes to read and is also consistent! If there are other groups you suggest as well, please share. 


message 11: by Shá (new)

Shá (naturesexplorers) I am also looking forward to the next reading! It was already on my To Read list (if To Kill a Mockingbird is chosen).

2. I’m badly in love with Draco and Zuko ahaha.

3. Fantasy books are go to for me mostly because I love to explore new worlds and often get away from this one.

4. I deeply love my little cat or well she’s 7 already wow.

5. And lastly I’m stressed over school who isn’t but mostly because I need to make choices about what i want to work with in the future and honestly I have no idea. :/

Ananya | 1 comments Heylo Everyone!!

My name is Ananya, or you can call me Pia.

I am from India and Pia is a second name (most of the Indians have a second name (don't ask me why), one used by family members and relatives and all)

Avid reader. Enid Blyton brought out the love of reading in me. I don't remember at what age I started reading, probably at around 5. Before that, my mom used to read out books to me.

Slytherin through and through.

Favourite genre is Fantasy.

Aside from reading, I enjoy painting, binging shows on Netflix, fish keeping and breeding (no that's not my profession), travelling, cooking, journaling and planning, astrology and tarot card reading.

Banker by day and Pranic Healer by night.

I love cats!

message 30: by Christina (new)

Christina (littlelizard) | 3 comments Hey guys! I'm Christina and a massive book lover as well! I'm a German living in New Zealand and all about reading. :)
My first language is German and I'm all good in English. Can do a little bit of French as well.

I've always enjoyed reading and the first ever book I feel in love with was Inkheart. After that I got hopelessly lost in reading all sorts of books, especially fantasy ones.

When I'm not reading and drinking tea I'm enjoying the great outdoors. Absolutely love fishing!

My favourite writers are Walter Moers and Carlos Ruiz Zafón.

Since a few of you guys mentioned your Harry Potter houses I would be Ravenclaw, for sure!

Always open for a good conversation, so feel free to add me. :)

elise p (elp623) | 1 comments Hi! I'm excited to join a new group. I tend to fall off the wagon posting in really large/busy groups, so it's nice to get to know y'all right away.

I'm Elise, I live in San Francisco, I have a menagerie of pets (1 horse, 2 dogs, 1 cat), and outside of reading, I spent most of my time running, riding my horse, or on my computer (for work & fun or both; I work in tech).

Looking forward to reading/chatting :)

message 37: by Natasha (new)

Natasha (thenightcourtreader) Hi everyone, my name is Tasha, it’s lovely to meet you all.

1) I’m Irish, born and raised, and quite often my lingo slips into my texts/writing. I try to reign it in but sometimes I’m not bothered.


2) I could quite happily live indoors with home delivery and book mail being the only things keeping me going.


3) I love TV and music just as much as I love reading. I’ll watch just about anything so long as it’s not dry comedy and I listen to pretty much everything, aside from disco.


4) My favourite time of year is Autumn and Winter. I turn into the grouchiest person ever when the sun comes out.


5) If I’m not doing reading of some sort, watching TV, or dancing horribly about the house to music I’m either writing or crafting.

I’m excited to be here, I love book clubs. I run the #nicnaxbookclub on Instagram which is always fun but I’ve never joined in on one here on Goodreads.
