Bloggers/Book Lovers from India discussion

Hey Guys,

Thanks for joining our blog. My friend and co-mod, Soumi, suggested the idea for this group and frankly, I thought it was a fantastic idea. Most of the readers/bloggers on Goodreads are from the US so they have their meets, discussions etc. We figured, why not start out club for book lovers from India so we can share our thoughts as well?

So, please let us know who you are, we'd love to get to know you!

Hey, I'm Priya!

Cool. Who're your favourite authors? Oh also, where're you from? I'm from Chennai.

My fave authors are Rachel Vincent, Kelly Creagh, JL Bryan, Melissa Marr, Lucy Christopher, etc... The list is quite long and I don't always remember author names! What about you?

I'm from New Delhi

I'm Soumi from Kolkata

Why do all bookworms live so far away! It would have been so fun to meet in real life and talk about books and all!

Oh wait, since your profile just said Priya, I didn't know. Are you the same Priya from my Daemon Invasion team?

I know what you mean. I heard Delhi has a book club though. I'm jealous :P Anyway, I might be in Delhi for an internship in the summer, we can talk books then =D

Hi, Shrimalya!

I am not from India but very interested plus Soumi is one of my favorite book bloggers around! I love that I relieved an invitation to be here!

I am really busy this month and things should start slowing down in September.

I live in Alaska, USA. I feel like I am somewhat of an outsider EVERYWHERE, but here in AK!

THANKS AGAIN!

Hey guys!

I'm Clarissa. I'm a 21 yr old, teacher-in-training (B.ed) student from Goa. I have too many fave books and authors and it will take forever to list them all out. I'm sure all of us feel the same.

I love this idea. Most of my book buddies are from Europe and North America so its awesome that we now have a group of our own.

Hey I'm Sukaina from Ahmedabad. I'm 17, and I love to read.

Hey I'm Salo from Georgia!

Welcome Depanjan, Clarissa, Sukaina and Salo. Wassup guys?

Hi everyone, this is Flawid 17, from Mangalore and I like to read, listen to music and tend to write occasionally.

Hi guys!!! I'm Nidhi, from Mumbai. I'm a complete book addict. I love music, traveling, drawing and dancing. It's good to finally have a group for Indian readers.

Adeeb here :) Not from India though, but I'm a friend of Soumi's and Anjana's =D

Hey everyone!!
I'm a fellow book-addict from Mumbai.
'Vidya' is what my Hindu dad named me.
'Scarlet' is what my Catholic mom prefers to call me.

& thanx a ton for the invite Soumi:):)

Doff my hat and offer my greetings to everyone. I may be someone, may - as reality is elusive, who is exploring the world inside himself through books (vicariously doesn't capture that accurately).

Based out of Delhi, India - such a inconsequential detail in this time and age!

Hi, I'm Jane Prowse from the UK and delighted to be asked to join the group. I'm new to Goodreads and still finding my way around - and would really value any advice on how to get the most form the website. I'm an author of YA books, currently promoting the third in my Hattori Hachi series by launching a global giveaway - really hoping to get loads of downloads in India! Take a look - www.hattorihachi.com And am now very pleased to be following the discussions on this blog. Thanks for the invitation.

Yay! This is awesome. Thank you guys, for joining. Everyone from India, it's cool that we can meet readers from where we live since most of the people I know on Goodreads are from USA or Europe.
