Hi! I am Anushka (she/her). My favorite genres are fantasy, contemporary and mystery. I love to read, write, draw and eat chocolate!
I want to help create a society where we are not classified by our race, gender, color, religion, orientation, etc. I want to uplift the economically weaker people and make maximum resources available to them. I also want to prevent climate change to protect our and future generation's future.

Hoping to hear from you!

Helloo im Charmel (she/her).

I want to Stop the Killings . And same to Anushka, i want to stop people judging other people because of their race, gender, appearance, etc..
Also, https://www.protectthearctic.org/take... :) ✨

Thanks for the invite and excited to be friends with y'all!❤️

Hi everyone! I go by Tris here (She/her). My favourite genre is fantasy. I love to read, sing, draw and paint. My other hobbies include crafts, Oratory and writing. I see myself as a feminist and hence wish to help build a society where women are not just treated but also perceived as equal to men. I hope that one day we will get to live in a society where women do not need to carry a pepper spray with them wherever they go and their family doesn't have to live in dread when they leave their house until they return, in India and everywhere else. I also see myself as an Ally to LGBTQIAP+ community and believe that non-straight people must not be seen as any different from everyone else. I am also very much drawn to the idea of "Vasudhaiwa Kutumbakam" meaning, "The World Is One Family".
Thank you for having me! :)

Welcome Charmel, Tris and Maddie! Thanks for joining:)

Tris, I totally agree with your point about perceiving women equal to men. Our society can progress only if we start looking at everyone equally and as a part of our family.

Hello everyone! I'm Ayla (She/her). My favorite genre is fantasy, I absolutely love them. I'll also read contemporary, mystery, and possibly historical fiction or science fiction if they're good. I love reading and writing of course, but I have a lot of other hobbies as well. Some of them include playing soccer, swim team, learning new languages, playing piano and flute, and more. I want to bring change to the world, the kind that will inspire others to spread more change. I want racism to stop, discrimination against women and people in the LGBTQ+ community to stop. I believe that everyone should be treated equally and that no life is worth less than another. I want to help those who are underprivileged and bring change so that they will have better opportunities. And I want to bring education like reading all around the world so that everyone will be able to read and have a love for books like I do.

Hi! My name is Anna Kate (she/ her) my favorite genres are YA, Fiction, and YA dystopian, and sometime I read mysteries! I like to read, tumble(flip) watch Netflix ( or just movies) and I also like shooting a bow and arrows :) I want racism to stop and discrimination against women to stop.

hii :) I’m guada and i’m 17! i love reading fantasy, dystopian, ya and sometimes mystery books! Besides reading i like playing the piano, singing, dancing, drawing or painting and watching movies ✨ Also my first language is Spanish, so i’m sorry if i make mistakes

Welcome Ayla! Welcome Anna!

Hi, I'm hogwartsnative.(she, her) The genres I love are YA,fantasy,humor and mystery and I love reading, playing piano and watching anime. I want to change the world for the better and stop judging people because of their gender, orientation, religion or race. I also want to raise awareness about climte change and unite people. Thanks for the invite Anushka!

Hi everyone, I am Gabriela (she/he). My favourites are fantasy, romance, and historical fiction. I also love spicy is my books.
I am a hip hop dancer, read (ofc), listening to K pop or watching anime/ series, writing, and I love study maths while I am hearing Beatles or dark academia songs.
I am against all forms of discrimination but as a person who wants to be a doctor one thing I really want to change is the way people look to mental health problems. I have anxiety and I had anorexia, but society look at people with these problems as crazy or very dramatic. Also, it should be okay to women to read steamy books without being judge (just saying)
P.s I am from Portugal so English is not my first language, if you see some mistake be free to correct me

Hi my name is Annelize (she/her) but you can call me Annie :) my favourite genre's are YA, fantasy, NA and self help books.
I love reading, writing reviews, playing on the piano and painting.
I am a newly qualified counsellor and life coach, so helping people is my calling and my passion. I believe that a good book (especially self help books) can make a world of a difference, as it did in mine.

Hi, I'm Iggy (she/he/they). Some of my favourite genres are YA, dystopian, fantasy, LGBTQ+ fiction and realistic fiction. I love swimming, reading, playing the flute, sewing, soccer, taekwondo, reading (of course), classical music and writing.
I want to make this world a better place by promoting equality, saving the environment and so much more. I think that public speaking, writing, donating to charities, reading and other things can help create change.

Welcome Guada, hogwartsnative, Gabriela, Annie, Ash and Iggy! So glad to have you guys here!

Hey there!
I'm Priyansha (she/her).
My favorite genres include mystery, thrillers, fiction, fantasy, and YA!
I'm trying to catch up with the classics too. I love buddy reading so if some of you and I have the same books in our tbr, we could buddy read them!

Books are one of my favorite things in the world and I feel it should be free! I make an effort to donate books and encourage people to read them coz they are bundles of joy and information. Moreover, they are absolutely fun!

Glad we connected :D

I'm Ink&Paper (she/her).
My favorite genres are YA, Fantasy, Contemporary and Mental Health.
All my life, I've had only one hobby, reading (I know that's pathetic..)
I want to live in a world where we are not divided by our income, gender and race. I would like to advocate for that.
I also want to see people for their thoughts and actions, and stop being judgmental about everything else.

I want to thank every one of you for inviting me to this group.
Thank you, it means a lot. (Happy New Year in advance!)

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE!!🥳

Welcome guys!!

I'm Milica, my pronouns are she/her. I love young adult, fantasy and historical fiction the most. Hobbies are reading, writing, cooking, dancing, travelling.

As for changes, that's actually kind of hard to answer. I feel like I'm already making small changes when I give money to people begging on the street even when I don't have any to give. I probably shouldn't because some are scammers but that's on their soul, not mine.

I always dreamed of opening a no kill animal shelter. Won't achieve that in the next couple of years but I'm not giving up on it.

This I can't actually do by myself, people would have to decide for themselves if that's the right thing for them but I'd love it if in the future the world was turned more towards God. If we were all kinder to one another (not saying you can't do that if you don't believe, don't get me wrong) and helped each other as much as possible instead of turning away.

Welcome Milica! Your idea of being kind for a change is actually really nice. Only if we are kind, we can bring about other changes.

Hey! My name is Tabitha, she/her. I read mostly YA/NA, I'm 21 and from the UK. I'm a writer but currently studying film production, so hobby wise its usually based around work. In terms of change I'm hoping to read more books with disability/ illness awareness. I'm HoH and have a brain tumour so sometimes its hard never to see strong characters who are also fighting chronic illness and physical issues.

Welcome Tabitha! Glad to have you here!!

I am so sorry about your illness. Yes, reading books about illnesses helps spread awareness, and I'm glad you are willing to bring that change. It's something that many people don't think of.

hi i’m bumble, she/he/they, and I love ya fantasy! I love to read and that’s pretty much all I do in my free time. i’m a huge feminist and environmentalist, and I want to see lgbtq+ rights in every country.

Hi everyone, welcome to the group!

Why hello people.
I'm Evie. (she/they) My favorite genre is definitely YA fantasy or contemporary, and I love reading (obviously), acting, and writing. I'm particularly focused on feminism, lgbtq+ rights, and the black lives matter movement. :)

hello! my name's kennedy, and my pronouns are he/him (they/them is also acceptable, i really don't care). i prefer reading sci-fi and fantasy, but i'm open to reading anything if the concept intrigues me. i'm in band (percussion), and music is a vital part of my life. without making art, i would simply lose my flame. i think that there is a lot that needs to be changed, and i would love my eyes to be opened to topics that i'm not super familiar with. i live in america, and i am so thankful for the amount of acceptance and legal freedom that we have, though there is still improvement to be made. it breaks my heart that around the world people can be killed just for their gender, sexual orientation, religion, or race. people should be able to be who they are and speak their minds. many people in my country are hypocrites and refuse to listen to people with different believes than them. i wish that we could stop division in mankind and live in peace together, bettering the environment, listening to each other's opinions, and not caring so much about what people do in their own lives. my policy is: if it doesn't affect anyone or anything negatively, then there's no issue. thanks, ayla, for inviting me here! i love the sentiment of this group and think that it's absolutely beautiful :)

Hi Kennedy, Em, and Evie!! Thanks so much for joining :)

Welcome Adela!!

Hai, I'm Lanae Anne (She/Her)
My favorite genres are nonfiction, psychology, sociology, medical, and political science. I also like to read YA thriller, sci-fi, fantasy, and realistic fiction.
I love roller skating, painting, dancing, singing, writing, and studying/researching intriguing topics for fun.
The change I want to bring is to end discrimination against people of different cultures, but to also dismantle negative stigmas and stereotypes in our society that has caused us to discriminate against others.

Hi Lanae!! Welcome :)

Hi! My name is Sydney and I use she/her pronouns. I'll read pretty much any genre, but I really enjoy high fantasy and mythology. Other than reading in my free time, I enjoy watching old movies and learning new things. A change I wish to see in the world would be the accessibility to diverse authors and books. Many libraries within my community only have the same white cis authors, and have very limited books from BIPOC or other authors outside America & the U.K. I just want people to be able to find books from all over the world.

Welcome to the group Sydney!

Thanks for the invite Ayla, this group seems cool ;)

Araia (she/her)
Favorite Genres: Romance, YA, NA, Fantasy, Dystopian, Utopian, Biography, and Realistic Fiction
My hobbies: Besides reading I love to travel and explore. I also enjoy the outdoors. And I play volleyball and I practice jiu jitsu.
I want the world to just believe, understand, and allow equal rights for ALL people, no matter their gender, orientation, race, religion, or world views :)

Hello! I’m Kaitlyn, pronouns are she/her, favorite genres are fantasy, mystery, and ya contemporary, my hobbies are reading (obviously), volleyball, and booktube. I wish there was more representation of all kinds. POC, disabilities, different body types, and just a lot more rep in general! :)
