I am a book addict

Unread post

I am a 23 year old girl, name Karen. I love to read and I have been looking for a place where I can discuss books with other people. I am from Guadalajara, Mexico.
I am currently majoring in Financial administration, I work and go to school.
My hobbies are going to the gym, reading, listening to music, watching tv series and being with my friends.
I love all books except for history and romance only some of them. I just love to read and be introduced to new authors and genres.

I found this page with google.. lol.. I just hope this is a very active group.

Welcome! I am a book addict, too. I just joined recently so I am not sure how active it is on here, yet, but I'm enjoying myself so far.

if you scroll down the main forums page

http://www.booktalk.org/forum.html

you soon get to the various books currently being discussed.

another approach might be to just click on the active topics button in the top left corner to see which threads are being posted in lately.

some of the threads in the "Belief, Religion & Philosophy" section are very genteel and civilised, urbane and sophisticated :wink: :D

Welcome to BookTalk, Karen! I don't know if I'd say things are super-active, but it helps to read the New Posts since your last visit (upper right corner of the screen is the link) and reply to anything that interests you. :)

Welcome, Karen! Good to see there are still book addicts in this world. :)
In regards to the way this site works, I usually follow several topics that interest me, and then check which ones are active. Sometimes, it's really exciting and you can discover new works, new authors...
What book do you like the most?

all the best,
Milan.
