Welcome and Introductions

Hi Anna,

Thank you for the warm welcome. =)

Hi, I'm Samantha.  I'm 19--right on the edge of teenhood.

I'm attending university, hoping to graduate with two degrees.  I want to work in the book publishing business in the future.  (Loving stories for a career--sweet deal.)  I keep two blogs: one for books and one for writing.

I've been hearing good things about Hush, Hush in the blogosphere, so I'm looking forward to reading it and discussing it with everyone.

Oh, and I have a dog.  His name is Rootbeer. =)

Hi and welcome Samantha!

Wow, you are a busy girl and I love your dog's name!

I am really excited to read Hush, Hush and have heard some good things.

Hi, I'm Bonnie and I'm 20. I love to read and then discuss the book, but I don't have many friends or family who read as much as I do or get into it as much as I do. I hope this will help a little and I'm looking forward to it.

Ahh, the introduction post.  I'm Kewpie.  I'm in my mid twenties and pretty much only read YA titles!  I've worked with books for years and am trying to get published, a slow and tedious thing.  My favorite book is The Grey King, by Susan Cooper.  Twilight, Pendragon, and A Certain Slant of Light aren't far behind it!  

Going away from books, I'm a huge Doctor Who and Star Wars fangirl. This is my first bookclub.  Can't wait to see how it turns out!

I'd like to ditto Toni's (Nelsmom) welcome to everyone.

And to all you newbies out there to First Look I guarantee you will love it here. I've have been lucky enough to be involved with all of them from the first. It's such a great way to discover new authors and even more important new friends among the participants. And I'm also glad that there is such a wide variety of us to talk about this book. 

So just don't let this be the last time you participate.

Can't wait to start the discussion.
