Hello there, I'm Aleks! I am born and raised in South Eastern Norway, and currently live in Viken. I recently finished reading "How to fix a broken heart" by Guy Winch, and I was amazed by the great amount of details and explanation of examples he introduced in his book.

So excited to be here.

@Aleks2 glad you are here! I had a chance to visit Sweden, but not yet Norway. I hear great things!

Hi! I'm Rebekah, and I live in Wales. I have recently enjoyed reading a number of Jacqueline Wilsons, as well as true crime books - a very strange combo!

@RebekahRebel i'm just learning about crime books. you'll have to send me a recommendation!

@RebekahRebel

Hi Rebekah :)

I love jaqueline wilson books, which one has been your favourite so far?

@glisteningEyes

Honestly, I don't think I can pick. Probably out of the "Hetty Feather" series or "My Sister Jodie". I cried at the end of most of them! How about you?

@RebekahRebel

Oh, My sister Jodie is a sad one! I remember crying at that one too.

The books that I fell in love with the most were: Candyfloss, cookie, Kiss and the 'in the girls' series.

Jaqueline Wilson has got a new book coming out on 20th August called 'Love Frankie' :)

@glisteningEyes

Yes, can't wait for it!

@RebekahRebel
