@Raysofsunshineandrainbow2005

Hi sunshine! Nice to meet you! It's great that you're doing so much for the community through your leadership roles. Thank you! Good luck on this journey!

Hey everyone! My name is Ace and I live in Scottsdale, Arizona. A book I just recently finished that really resonated with me is 'Faster Than Normal' by Peter Shankman. It is a creative guide to people with ADHD.

@CognitiveACE

Hello! Nice to meet you. That book sounds interesting, I have a lot of family with ADHD. I always admire people who read educational and deep stuff in their free time while I'm over here reading teen romance books 😂. Good luck!

Thank you so much for the information with regards to ADHD. I took a RDHD call yesterday and have been looking for some resorces. I think the book will be a great help and I aim to look at it on Amazon. When I introduce my self I think I am going to mention a book till. May be also my favourite film. Look out for my post. It should be coming soon!

@GlenM

Hello everyone, I'm Juliana and I live in Texas. My favorite movie of all time is Troy as I loooove Greek mythology. Nice to meet you guys!

@heyitsjuliana

Hello! Nice to meet you too! I find Greek mythology very interesting as well, though I've never heard of Troy. Good luck on this journey!

@heyitsjuliana

Hey Juliana! I've never seen Troy, but I do love Greek Mythology! It's very interesting!

@heyitsjuliana

@heyitsjuliana

I love greek mythology, myself. Greatly entertaining stuff! Nice to meet you!

@heyitsjuliana

@heyitsjuliana

Hi, nice to meet you. I find Greek mythology super interesting too!

@bubblyJulie

Greek mythology ;O <3

@bubblyJulie

I also love Greek Mythology. I loved reading the Percy Jackson series.

introduce yourself and let us (if comfortable) where you are from and a recent book or movie you have enjoyed

Hello everyone I'm PinkPizzaz! I'm from Utah. A recent movie I enjoyed is the live action Mulan, it was great! I'm glad to be taking this next step to grow as a person! 💗

@PinkPizzaz

Hi! It is nice to meet you! I haven't watched the live action Mulan, however I have watched the original and loved it! Do you prefer one version of the movie over the other?

@hopedreamlove

I don't really prefer one over the other. They have a very different sort of feel to them so it's hard to compare. For instance they took out all the music and comic relief for the live action and it was much more dramatic and deep. I love both versions for different reasons.

@PinkPizzaz

Hey there! I'm Rashmieee. I am from India. I got to learn a lot here. I'm glad I'm volunteering here as a listener. The last movie I enjoyed is John wick.

@Rashmieee

Hello! Nice to meet you 💗

@PinkPizzaz

Heya, nice to meet you too ♥️

Hi there! I'm Liru and I'm from the Philippines 🇵🇭! I'm a frequent reader myslef and I enjoy a good thriller or historical fiction in my spare time. Recently, I read Agatha Christie's "The Murder on the Orient Express" and it's a very interesting book, I must say. Currently, I am reading Markus Zusak's "Book Thief" and I'm really enjoying it. Hope you all are doing well today, cheers!

@Liru0417

Hey, Liru! Nice to meet you! Great to see 7 Cups bringing people all over the world together!!

@Liru0417

Hi Liru! I also enjoyed Agatha Christie's novels. The Book Thief is especially one of my favourites.

@SophieWX
Hi Sophie! That's awesome, I'm glad you liked them as much as I did. Any books that you think I shouldn't miss? I'd love to hear recommendations from you. Hope you have a great day!

@Liru0417

Hmm, really I'd recommend the Sherlock Holmes series if you're looking for detective novels, since I feel that these two are the best at it. If you like Christies' witty writing style, and doesn't mind romance, Austen is especially entertaining. I kinda have a soft spot for her because Sense and Sensibility got me through some hard times.

If you want to read more concerning WWII, All the Lights We Cannot See is very popular, and rightly so I think, the writing is beautiful although it romanticise things a tad bit.

Definitely watch the movie adaptation of Book Thief though! It's completely worth it and really not bad considering it's an adaptation.

hi

my name is Laksh and I am from Pakistan.

i watched kabir singh ( an indian movie) that did i find fascinating and relatable.

@toughLion8324

Welcome! I hope you enjoy the program ❤️

Hi! I'm Katherine, and I live in Greece. I recently started watching an anime series named "A Certain Scientific Railgun" and I think it's pretty awesome! I enjoy watching it.

@kateaala

Hey, Katherine! Greece, wow, such a beautiful country you live in! Are you interested in manga as well as anime? I'm personally into neither of those but I know they typically go hand in hand for most people haha

@rebecca947 I've never read manga sooo i don't think so, yet 🤣

@kateaala

LOL I tried reading one manga and I found out I read it completely wrong. I gave up after that!!!

@rebecca947 🤣🤣🤣 i didn't know there was a specific way to read manga

@kateaala

Haha there is! You read it from the back to front, right page to left page. I just don't know how to specifically read each page, if it's from left to right or right to left xD

@rebecca947

I like reading manga especially if I am really into a certain anime and I can't wait to see what happens next in the story line. I found myself reading the manga for demon slayer because I thought it was a pretty nice series.

Hello! I'm C. :) I feel so honored to be here! <3 I'm a mom to one, a stepmom to 2. I enjoy video games, board games, art, watching streams, fishing, being outside - I just took up a new hobby of painting miniatures. It sounds dumb, I know, but I really enjoy seeing these little figurines come to "life" as I paint them, learn new techniques, etc. I was never talented as a painter on canvas, but figures have opened me up to a whole new world! <3

@CompassionateDreamer8522

No hobby is a dumb hobby! Nice to meet you, C!

@GlenM

Hello everyone 😄 I'm Dee and I'm from Trinidad and Tobago which is located inside of the Caribbean. I've recently watched and enjoyed a movie called Wonder. It's really nice and I encourage everyone to take a look at it😁. Nice meeting you all!

@frostyIris5554

Hi Dee! Ooh Wonder is a great movie, I recently watched it as well, and loved it!
