Welcome and Introductions

[peacelovevegan]

Hey everyone! I'm Brodie, 18 year girl from Australia. I only discovered this First Look program last night, so I'm really looking forward to getting involved! I've been discovering my passion for reading again lately and I'm in need of books to fuel my addiction. I read the two chapter excerpt of Hush, Hush that was released online and I think I'm in love with it already LOL. Hope I get copy, can't wait to read it!

[Teddyree]

I introduced myself earlier but just wanted to say hello to the other 'teens at heart' lovers of YA fiction Toni, Sue, Karen, Stewie's Mum & Anna, my teen years are long gone, I have 2 teenage boys now but age is no barrier to enjoying great YA of which I'm sure Hush, Hush will be one.

Special hello to Galleysmith, Greenbeanteenqueen & Sarbear, we know each other from our book blogs ... isnt this exciting.

[Teddyree]

Hi Brodie, nice to see another Aussie on here, I'm Teddyree from Brisbane, Australia. Do you have a blog I can keep in touch with you on. Mine's The Eclectic Reader

Hello,

I'm Angela.  I work as a legal secretary, have three children, and a crazy social life.  

I'm going through a divorce and am just now able to get back into focusing on fun things that I enjoy, like reading.  I'm very excited!

Hi!

I'm Juju.

I'm 33 year old secretary by day and bookaholic by night.

I review YA fantasy and sci-fiction books at http://talesofwhimsy.blogspot.com.

When I'm not reading I'm hanging out with my amazing husband, watching movies, or cuddling with my dogs.

Hello! My name is Melissa and I've been working for Barnes & Noble for 9 years. Teen books are my favorites although I cannot use the excuse of having kids. Just a husband and a fish at home, and neither of them share my passion for the genre. I just can't wait to get my hands on this book—it looks amazing!

Hello, I'm Jaya.

I've been on the boards since the release of HP7. I LOVE reading all sorts of books, though my favorite is chick-lit (my guilty pleasure.) I'm going to be a sophmore in high school, I have my permit, and I have a crazy family consisting of my parents, my (elusive) grandfather, myself, and my puppy, Seamus. Looking forward to reading this book and discussing it!  

[peacelovevegan]

Hey Teddyree! Great to meet a fellow Aussie. Funnily enough, I actually stumbled across your the other day and am a new follower :] I don't have one going as yet, but I would really like to start blogging soon... I'm quickly being sucked into the blog world!

Thanks for the welcomse and sending my own welcome here to all the other new members!

Hi my name is Kathy and I'm from Northeast PA. I just received my copy of this book and am looking forward to reading it with all of you.

I'm 16 years old, I'm going to be a senior in high school when my school starts in a mere three weeks. I got my permit a few months ago, and I still am scared every time I get behind the wheel, but less and less each time. I live in sunny California, in Orange County, and I love it here. I have two sisters, one older and one younger, I'm in the middle. I love to read, and am really looking forward to this book. The first two chapters that I read online were amazing!

Hi again all! Looks like we've got a great big diverse group.  I'm excited to get to discuss this book with you all.  I'm hoping my copy arrives soon so I can get started and be able to participate from the jump.

Hi everyone!

I'm Samantha, I am 20. I have 6 dogs and 1 cat. I love to read, mostly YA and general fiction. I run a blog. I love listening to music and watching movies. I'm not really good at these whole "here I am in a few sentences" kind of thing, so yea. That's all I got for now. I must go read! Nice to meet you all and can't wait to talk to you more!
