All the while, I never noticed I haven't properly introduced myself since I joined this group. Also, I would like to meet other members of this group!


message 2: by [deleted user] (new)

I mean, okay, I have said hello in Hello topic, but that was all.

So, where to start?
My name is Ginny, as you may have already noticed(haha), I'm 16, I live in Germany(so you'll have to forgive me for my English) and obviously, I love to read. Actually, reading is my main activity if I'm not out at school, doing sports, or occasionally meeting friends. Oh, and I've been one of the moderators in this group since May 10th without my knowledge(no offense, I feel honored
Life is hard in Germany - haha, kidding. It is not. Not really. Okay, except for the fact that it is hard to get my hands on English books and it lasts 2-4 weeks till they arrive once I've ordered them.

Well, that's all. For now.

Lindsay Paige (authorlindsaypaige) Haha, sorry about the moderator thing; I thought it notified you! My name is Lindsay. I'm 16 and I live in the US. I too read, read, read. The only sport I can play well is tennis. Hm. I love learning new languages. I have taken Spanish 1 and French 1. I'm going to take Spanish 2, 3, and 4. Maybe French 2.

Hm. I think that's it.


message 4: by [deleted user] (new)

Wow, you must really like Spanish to take it from 1 to 4! I've been learning French for 3 years but my teachers were so lousy, they kind of managed to make me hate the language, which is sad. Well, for now, I've got enough languages -3, to be precise- in my head ;p
I really wanna visit US someday!!


message 5: by Lindsay (new)

Lindsay Paige (authorlindsaypaige) I think Spanish is wayyy easier to learn than French. I eventually would like to become fluent in multiple languages. I want to travel EVERYWHERE. I went to Costa Rica for 9 days in April with my school and hopefully, I'll be attending the trip to Spain next April.

Kate (katemreads) | 9 comments Hi I'm Kate and also 16. I, of course, also love love love to read! I also love horses and horseback riding as well as photography. Since we're talking languages I'm in my second year of Spanish and I would love to learn and be fluent in at least five different languages. Oh, and I live in America.

Sherri (sherrij2003) Hey Ya'll I'm Sherri. I'm 25 (but I still love YA books...it's like I never knew they were there when I was younger!) I live in Florida, USA. I am a veterinary technician and love animals. My favorite thing to do (when I have the time and money) is to go to Orlando to all of the theme parks. I like to read just about anything...as long as it can keep my attention.

Lindsay Paige (authorlindsaypaige) Hi Sherri!!


message 13: by Amy (new)

Amy | 12 comments Hey guys! I'm Amy and i'm almost 19 years old.
Obviously i love to read too! I always have, but only about the past two years have i really made it a constant hobby. I'm from KY,USA . Sherri, my favorite place in the u.s is totally Disney World :) Although i'm dying to see the new HP park in universal!
And speaking of languages, i took AP Spanish in highschool, as well as sign language! I just got back from Austria and thinking about taking some german classes. :)


message 14: by Lindsay (new)

Lindsay Paige (authorlindsaypaige) Hi Amy! I would love to learn sign language. I think it would be pretty cool, along with the verbal languages.


message 15: by Amy (new)

Amy | 12 comments it comes in handy too! I've met several deaf people and have been able to talk to them! Plus me and my friends would always sign to each other in our other classes [:


message 16: by Lindsay (new)

Lindsay Paige (authorlindsaypaige) ah. That would be awesome. Signing in class! haha Maybe that will make my list of things to do this summer. haha

Rach (pagesofpiper) (piperbunny) Hi everyone!
I'm Piper, 25, from England. I help run a teen book club at my local library. I'm addicted to YA fiction!
Nice to see someone from Germany here, I lived in Germany for a year and speak (semi!) fluent German.
Currently reading City Of Ashes by Cassandra Clare.
Favourite book at the moment is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.
:)


message 19: by Lindsay (new)

Lindsay Paige (authorlindsaypaige) I have always wanted to visit England. I visited Costa Rica this year with school and hopefully Spain next year. Maybe the year after that we can go to England. Since finishing Love From London: The Principles of Love this past week, I've been thinking about England a lot!


message 20: by [deleted user] (new)

Welcome Piper!
I went to England once, as a class trip! I went to London, Edinburgh and much more :)
Nice to have you in this group!

Lindsay Paige (authorlindsaypaige) Hi Jeremy! Welcome!!


Rach (pagesofpiper) (piperbunny) WOW Jeremy, blue and orange do go together, your photos are awesome! I love the bug in the web one and the colours in "they're bats". Amazing stuff. Do you photoshop them or are they purely from your camera?


message 25: by Jeremy (new)

Jeremy Hung (jrhmy) Hey thanks guys! I do photoshop the pictures, but I'm trying to step away from that.
