About

Please don't be alarmed by the really long title of this series! This series is essentially for a book club. We'll be talking about books, films, comics, and more. You all can share all that you like! We can have fun debates and conversations about common tropes and ideas we see in the media. Please do not stop yourself from joining if you don't like books! Maybe you just don't like reading but I'm sure this club can allow you to take a greater interest in books. Even if you don't like books, we can look at many literary and non-literary texts like films, comics, mangas and more! Hey guys, I think I'll stick to holding one or two sessions a month.

Hey there! I'm a high school student with a passion for fantasy books (and pretty much any genre, really!). I also love exploring paintings, ancient scriptures, and art ✨. I'm an East-Asian bibliophile and could spend hours researching ancient cultures 🌏📜🪷! When I'm not buried in books, you can find me 3D sculpting on Blender, making everything from ancient artifacts to video games. I’m a huge fan of games like Yakuza and Honkai: Star Rail. I look up to many artists, with WLOP being one of my favorites! To unwind, I play guitar (I'm no pro, but I love cranking out some sweet tunes from my favorite songs and series themes song). I'm always excited to make new friends! If you ever want to chat, need help with anything, or just want to talk about books, games, or anything at all, feel free to reach out! 😊

Hi! My name is Ananya, also spelled Aananya, and I'm a sophomore in high school in the 24-25 school year. I have a lot of hobbies including track and field, reading, environmental activism, debate, coding, STEM competitions, and my mysterious favorite (robotics). I love classic books (they're practically all I read). My favorite is An Old Fashioned Girl. I'm involved in a lot of organizations. One of the ones I'm most active in is a leadership 4-h program for teens. We work on a lot of capstone projects to help our community. I've gotten a world record related to them. We partnered with one of our sponsor companies to have the world's longest envirothon. That leads us into my next hobby, debate. I've been debating for 2 years as of 2024 summer, and I love it. And then there's robotics. I spend a lot of time on that. I'm very involved in my team. I love volunteering.
