Welcoming the new members of TRB

Hi everyone

Firstly I’d like to thank everyone who responded or reblogged or helped me by sharing the “Reviewer Wanted” post on fb and twitter and if not then just for reading it. Thank You All!

I’m really glad to let you all know that after going through 14 mails, I’ve picked up 5 review-contributors for The Reading Bud. And now I’m feeling so light as all the burden seems to have disappeared from my tiny shoulders…

phew

So let’s welcome these 5 bibliophiles whose reviews you’ll be reading along with mine, every month on The Reading Bud. I hope you’ll enjoy reading their blogs as well!

welcome

Galit

pics copy 2I am an avid reader, coffee addict, a writer and a blogger. I am a bit of agoraphobic (people scare me, lol). Me and my hubby love to spend every moment together, we even game together. I live mostly in my own imaginary world full of dragons, magic and vampires and from time to time I pull myself away to deal with the real world.

I started writing when I was a kid, but only recently I found the courage to start my Writing Career. I am about to finish the first draft of my first book by the end of March, so I write and write all day.

I love reading so much! People always laugh when I say that I want to make money from writing books so that I can buy more books.

You can find also find me at my blog, Coffee n’ Notes.

Chris

pics copyI’m a scifi and fantasy loving dude, working in I.T.  with a strong interest in science and the how and why things work the way they do. To go with that, I’ve got degrees in computer science and psychology, because knowing how and why people work the way they do is just as fascinating. I read a lot, across a wide range of genres, but generally tend to default to the old stereotypes of sci-fi and fantasy. This is something I’m actively trying to change however!
I’m a firm follower of the House of Nintendo, and I’m always willing to talk technical about the video game industry and trends within it. I’ve got a wife, a child and a cat in order of increasing evilness and grudges against me. I have a black belt in taekwondo, which taught me that the best way to handle a fight is not to get into one in the first place.
You can also find me at Hades Central.

Heather

pics-2I’m a reader, writer, dreamer, and crafter. I like to create things and I love to see what others create. I avoid reality as much as possible, and often pretend I’m a vampire. I also own a group of black cats, so my neighbors think I’m a witch and I’m okay with that.

I am a fan girl. I love shows like Doctor Who, Supernatural, and Grimm. I love anime and dream of one day going to Japan.

I just like to have fun, enjoy life, and do what makes me happy.

You can also find me at The Awkward Life Of Heather.

Amaryllis

pics-3I work in an office. Outside of work, I participate on several non-profit boards and volunteer time as a life skills mentor. One of my favorite past times is reading, especially romance genre. I also enjoy writing, travelling, and trying new experiences with my hubby. I write poetry when inspiration moves me. My hubby and I try to travel a new location each year. I have a goal each year to try something that I have not tried before. Because of that goal, I have ran various types of 5k races, started playing tennis, and attended numerous wine tastings.

Since I am very opinionated, it only made sense for me to begin to share my musings about books and various experiences with everyone I meet. When not writing for TRB, you can find my opinions and me on The Opinionated Woman’s Musings.

Aditya Moghe

(I’ll be adding Aditya’s pic and bio later on as I haven’t received any yet.)

Aditya was my senior in high school, and so I couldn’t have denied his request at any cost… after all we are St. Marians or as a lot of people call us, Conventee (heheh!)
