Hello all! My name is Emily and I am 17-years-old. My passion for books started when I was in middle school and since then they have been a major part of my life. Any one of my friends and family will tell you they always see me with a book in my hand. When I am not obsessing over fictional characters (especially Will Herondale), I like to hang out with friends and watch my favorite shows on Netflix.

Olivia Will

Reviewer

Hello there! I'm Olivia, I am 17-years-old and I obviously love to read. I've had an extreme love for reading for as long as I can remember. Just being in the presence of a book automatically brightens my mood! When I'm not reading I can usually be found re-watching some of my all-time favorite movies,(Dazed and Confused, Stuck in Love, Pump Up the Volume, Me and Earl and The Dying Girl...the list is seemingly endless --- like my TBR!), listening to music or begging someone to drive me 25 minutes into town just so I can have a milkshake.

Hi! I'm Jessi, I'm 17-years-old, and I'm a senior in high school. I think young adult literature is incredibly valuable and ever since I was in elementary school, I have loved to read it. Besides reading, I enjoy volleyball, blogging and changing my nail polish color. I live in the big and cold state of Alaska! Outside of the United States, I've been to Canada and Costa Rica, but I hope to travel to more of the world someday. Until then, I will travel through books!
