My name is Edana and I live in London. Googled online book club and stumbled on this website. Hope to pick up new books I may not have come across. Currently reading PopCo by Scarlett Thomas.

Hi. My name is Bill, and I'm a high school English teacher who is also trying to break into the writing world. If you have three dollars to spare and would like a fast, exciting read, check out my book Wild, by Bill Balsewicz, available through Barnes and Noble and Amazon.

Leah Silver is dangerous. Her wounds heal in seconds. She can set a fire ablaze in the forest with the heat of her body. Her bite transforms a murderer into a genuine monster. To give her a new life, her father moves her to a small town where she immediately falls in love with the wilderness. However, she was never meant for a peaceful life. Can she find answers and control the beast before something awful, something she created on the night of her mother's murder, finds and destroys her and everyone she loves?

Hi everyone!
I just turned 26, and feeling that there're just too many good books but so little time for me to read!
Loved reading stories and essays when I was in school, now I grow fond of the classics and novels written by Asians abroad.
Oh, by the way I come from Hong Kong, big city with little time to share the love of books with people. Luckily I find some buddies in a Literature class which meets once a week. All female ^ ^

Anyway, I guess reading shouldn't be a lonely hobby. Feel glad that allies aren't hard to be found on the net!
