Re: Welcome and Introductions

Hey! I'm Brittany and I'm about to be a senior in high school. I'm an avid YA reader and Harry Potter fan. I also enjoy the classics (Jane Eyre is my favorite), as well as historical fiction and fantasy. Books aside, I'm involved in marching band and I'm a sucker for a good video game.

 

Here's to hoping I get picked. :smileyhappy:

Re: Welcome and Introductions

Hey everyone! Im Catalina, i am 20 and a college student. Unfortunately it took me a while to get truly interested in reading. Growing up with schools breathing down your neck choosing what you have to read is not a lot fun, but now i choose what i want to read. All time favorite...Twilight series. I am proud to say i am a twilighter. This is all new to me so treat me nicely ^_^

Re: Welcome and Introductions

I got my confirmation email today woo!

My name is Susan, I live in Southern NH and I'm pushing 30, no two-legged children but I do have two cats who of course are named after historical/literary characters as any good "child" of a bookworm should be. :smileyhappy: I haven't read a whole lot of YA since I was in that age bracket (minus Harry Potter and the Inkheart trilogy), but this one sounds interesting and I thought it would be a nice contrast to the current First Look book.

 

Hush, Hush will be my fourth FL book.

Re: Welcome and Introductions

Hey, everyone! My name is Chelsea and I will be a senior in high school. I love, love, love to read. I'll read just about anything, but my favorite genres are fantasy and historical fiction. My favorite authors are Markus Zusak and C.S. Lewis. My favorite book is currently "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak.

 

I have way too many obsessions to count. I also love writing, movies, music, and art. I have two cats, who are so amazing.

 

Hope I get in! This book sounds really interesting!

Hi everyone!

I'm Teresa from Kentucky.  I'm no longer a young adult, but I enjoy good books and this looks like it will be one!  I'm a pediatric nurse and have a young adult son, so I like to stay up to date as some others have mentioned. I've really enjoyed the other First Looks in which I've participated and am looking forward to this new experience.

Re: Welcome and Introductions

Hi I'm Faith and I'm 17. I'm graduating this year from High school so I really happy about it. I love to read and that really all I do in my spare time. I shop and buy books from Barnes&Noble all of the time so I kind of have my own mini library of books. Currently I'm in the middle of the City of Bones series and I really enjoy reading it. I hope I will be able to talk to people who love books as much as I do in this club.

Marcilio,


My girl cat is named Circe too!!! She's a tortoiseshell cat and fits the personality of Circe to a T. She's adorable but very tough to love (especially when she's working on taking the wallpaper down in one of my rooms - I rent so there goes my security deposit whenever I move out).

 

My boy cat is named Finn (after Finn MacCool the Celtic giant of many legends).
