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. ![]()

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.
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.

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.

I'm Marcílio, 30 years-old, from Brazil. I'm married, no children, a literature and languages professor at a university. I love cats: have two (Circe and Medea). I love reading and I've been participating of BN First Look Book Club since the third book. Now, hope I have the opportunity of being in the discussions of teens reads.
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).

I'm Lauren and I've worked for B&N for 2 years. I also work for the local library as a circulation clerk. I spend a lot of my free time reading.
I'm looking forward to this book club!
