Introductions

[Kristen M.]

Let's share who we are, where we are from and what we blog about!

I'm Kristen from the Seattle area and I blog kidlit, YA fiction and adult fiction and non-fiction. Basically everything!

[bethany (dreadlock girl)]

I'm bethany from Corvallis Oregon. I was born in Seattle and raised in Spain. I love to blog about my family and about the books I read. Mostly I read whatever looks good :) That used to be international fiction, but lately it has seemed too dark and negative for me.


Have a great weekend!! Isn't it nice that we have had some sunny days lately!?!?

[Kristen M.]

Good to have you here, Bethany! I have distant relatives in northern Spain but have never been able to go there. I have also been looking for more cheerful books to read lately. I guess our collective conscience is hoping for more happiness these days -- and more sunshine!

[tanabata]

Well, I actually live in Japan but I'm from Victoria, BC so thought I'd stop by and say hi.
I blog about the books I read, which is mostly fiction but varied at times, with a few photos here and there for good measure. :)

[Kristen M.]

Welcome! I like that our PNW group already has international ties. I think that is part of the character of this region.

[Michele]

Hi All-

I'm Michele and I'm up in Gig Harbor, Washington. Originally from Alaska, I've migrated south, I guess (but have lived all over the U.S. and a few places overseas over the years). I pretty much read whatever strikes my fancy at the time and have blogged about everything from historical fiction to YA to mysteries, etc.

My real job is in Houston, so I get a lot of reading done on that 4.5 hour commute each week. So why is it that I'm perpetually behind on all my reading??? :)

Nice to see a group for us!

[Wendi Barker]

Hi Everyone,

I live in Kirkland, Washington, near Bellevue and Seattle. I've lived here my entire life (well, within about 15 miles of where I live with my husband now. This is a wonderful area, and it is so much fun to find other people who live around here! I blog about the books I read, and I read just about anything - I like variety!

[Nicola O.]

Hi folks!

I live in Redmond & work in Seattle. My blog is all about romance. Pleased to be here, there are so many great authors living in our region.

[Wendy]

Hi everyone, I'm Wendy and I live in Northern California just east of Redding (so about 100 miles from the Oregon border). I blog at http://www.caribousmom.com which is mostly about books, but also a little bit about life as well :)

[Kristen M.]

Welcome Michele, Wendi, Nicola and Wendy! I'm glad to see our group growing here. I'm working on something fun for us to do here soon but feel free to take the lead at any time!

[Nicola O.]

Did you all see where Trish is working on a retreat in Portland this summer? I just *might* be able to go!

[Wendi Barker]

We should plan a get-together sometime soon! I think I've been seeing some posts on Twitter about a group getting together in Virginia - I was so jealous!

[Mo (Un-Mainstream Mom Reads)]

Hi everyone! I'm Mo from Tacoma, Washington. I read and review YA and adult books on my blog. My favorite genres are paranormal romance/urban fantasy, post-apocalypse, and horror, but I read a wide variety of other genres as well.
