Coffee & Books discussion

We all want to know about our members here. I am sure we will have things in common so lets share!

Well let me formally introduce myself. My name is Rachel, I am (now) 22 years of age. I live in the greater Los Angeles Area, California. I am the biggest non-city girl living in a rather large city herself. I am studying English Literature and Comparative World Literature. I want to teach, and travel and write. Create things, all that jazz.

I love reading- hence why I made the site at the ripe ol age of 19. I have put myself in the head of so many authors and I needed a way to reach out to people who shared the same passions as I.

:)

Hi my name is Catherine I'm from Ireland I love to read, and summer is my favorite time to read,thank u for letting me join :)

Hi Catherine! Great to have you!

Wow California cool :) our summer has not picked up over here yet, :( so what books do you like? I'm a big Harry potter fan, And James Patterson plus many others :) best of luck in college :)

Hi Allie! Welcome! I have always wanted to live on the west coast! I know it is so so beautiful over there! Im jealous! What kind of jewelry do you make? Do you sell them?

Our summer isnt too hot this June, its semi warm but not hot which I like hahah! I am currently reading the hunger games and its so good so far! My favorite author is markus zusak. His writing styles is really amazing. I also wanted to start reading the chronicles of narnia, I have never read them!! (: I actually havent read any of the potter books! Such a shame, I should probably read them! hahah And thank you!

Have never read Hunger games, I really should,I hear great things about it, Harry potter is cool, hope you get to read them :)

Hi Allie I have an aunt and two cousins from W.V :) and I love hand made jewelry so unique :) wish I had creativity like that. what books do you like to read?

Yeah Hunger Games is really good so far! And yes I will have to do that this summer!

Have you read twilight yet? Still on eclipse myself :) I might just buy hunger games for my summer read for my hols :)

YES I have read Twilight. Loved them. The movies didnt do them justice though. But the books were amazing

Yes they haven't I agree :) same as Harry potter films, well most films that are good books never do the book justice :)

That is so true! I mean some aspects of the movie somewhat play out nicely but other times I am just like, "What?" Hahahah But I will definitely read the Potter books because I loved the movies

I know yeah it kinda annoying,sometimes the characters don't turn out as u imagined either :)

Exactly my thoughts!

Are you going to see the last Harry potter film? I can't wait :)

I am dying to see it! Ive been waiting and now that its been getting closer It is even harder to wait!! Looks so good and so intense!

Yes it looks brill :)

Hi there! My name is Jacquelynne Lennard, but you all can call me Jackie :) ... It's easier to remember and spell lol. I am a 22 year old student and work-a-holic, who is studying History and the Medieval and Renaissance Studies program at Brock University in Ontario, Canada. I work at a non-profit theater group in N-O-T-L and during my free time at work, at home and school I read to me hearts content, lol. I am addicted to the sun even though I burn to a crisp every time I'm outside, and I love to swim. Basically me in a nutshell, lol.

I am an avid blogger as well, and my blog is called, the Hardcover Harlequin :) the link is: http://hardcoverharlequin.blogspot.com/

I am ecstatic to be part of this group!

Hello Jacquelynne! (Going with Jackie from now on...just wanted to spell it once. That's a very unique spelling)
Welcome to the group, I'm glad you decided to join us!

Looks like you're very busy and have a wide range of interests! How do you ever find time to read??

I love swimming too. I was on my high school's swim team and I miss it a lot. Unfortunately though, I burn to a crisp when I go outside too.

If you let me know your tumblr, I will check it out! I have a tumblr and a blogger! Glad to have you!

http://www.thaliasbooks.tumblr.com

I haven't been reblogging as many pictures as I have in the past, only because the new tumblr freezes all the time and I'm lucky if my reviews even post. It's been driving me crazy!

Welcome!! Glad we'll get to discuss and see your book choices! I'm an avid blogger as well, and have a blog on blogger.com come by and check it out and I'll be dropping by yours soon to check it out as well :)

I wish I understood blogger better, or had one. I have blogs from other people bookmarked but they'll never know I'm actually looking since I can't follow, hahaha.

Blogger is great. It is definitely a more personal type of blogging. Tumblr can be personal but what i see is reblogging and a lot of pictures.

Yeah, that's why I like it so much, I think. In between reviews and posts, when the blog seems to lag, you can still keep people entertained with really pretty pictures that still relate to the subject of your blog. I find it hard to try and spend time filling my blog and keeping people entertained without obsessing over it.

I totally agree, it gives you that outlet without having to be too personal
