Welcome and Introductions

My name is Leanne and I live in Sacramento, California with my 2 cats, Max and Phoebe. I am anxiously waiting for this book. It sounds like another great ARC.

I am so excited! I thought I was too late to get a ARC of Hush Hush, but look at that I just realised the message was there since Friday the 7th that says I am. Can't wait this sounds like a good read.

Hi everyone! My name is Debbie and I'm 45, married with two teens and a twenty-year-old (gasp!) and three dogs. Things are never quiet here but that's how we like it!  I've enjoyed B&N for years and have done most of the First Look clubs. I'm thrilled that it's now branching out to YA reads since I love this genre along with many others. I've already received this ARC from the publisher to review and I read it in two days. I really look forward to the discussions here.

Hi there! My name is Rhonda. I am a thirtysomething mom of two children a 16 and 11 year old. YA is my favortie genre to read. I haven't heard one way or another whether or not I get to participate yet, but wanted to introduce myself to everyone just in case. My fingers are crossed.

I've seen this floating around the internet and I'm excited to hear everyone's thoughts on it.

Hi! I'm Jennifer. I'm another adult who loves young adult fiction! I work at a Barnes and Noble near Chicago, and one of my favorite parts of my job is discovering great young adult books and introducing them to teens. I've loved many of the books I've been introduced to by young people who love to read!

Hi Jennifer.

Hi all,

My name is Katelyn I'm 20 years old, and a junior in college pursuing an english degree with a concentration in creative writing. I've been apart of the first look book club multiple times now and I'm really exciting it's branched into the young adult genre as I have considered publishing (or trying to publish) a book in this genre (among others) someday.
