Well hello, everyone :D

Post by IsobelJ »

Hi guys, my name is Isobel. I'm originally from Washington, but now I live in this tiny town in Missouri. I'm a college student so I've been pretty busy recently and I've only been able to read 5 or 6 books this semester *gasp*. With summer coming I've really been wanting to get back in the groove of finding and reading new books, and I found this awesome site and I'm just so excited to talk to all you people!
I just absolutely love reading. I've been an avid reader since I was little, and I have a certain special fondness for books that are more than a thousand pages long. I love shorter books too, but there's something awesome about getting wrapped up a stories that are so in depth and thought out. Unfortunately the people that write those books also tend to be the ones that don't get their books published quickly :P
For years my favorite author has been Brandon Sanderson. If any of you have read his books, I would LOVE to talk to you about it. What's your favorite author?
