I'm Anidori-Isilee, Anilee for short.

Obviously, I love to read. Favorite author is without a doubt Shannon Hale. The Goose Girl and Enna Burning are tied with The Queen of Attolia and The King of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner for my favorite book of all time. Otherwise, I love Jane Eyre, Speak, and A Northern Light. And countless other books.

Other interests...I write. A lot. And curse at the characters for being so annoying and rarely wanting to cooperate, but that's normal, right?

And I like to procrastinate. Normally, I do this by playing FreeCell on the computer. It's addicting.

I also love music. I play flute and piano and I listen to music a lot. The Counting Crows are my all-time favorite band and they're absolutely amazing in concert.

Um...I'm a homeschooled senior in the lovely state of Pennsylvania. I hate math and science and adore history and English. And foreign languages. I can read Latin fairly well and can guess my way through a French book as well.

And I guess that's good for now, even though there's still like fifty-eight thousand eight hundred characters left. Wow...that's a lot of letters/spaces/punctuation marks.

Oh, and I blog at thegoosegirl.wordpress.com. Book blog is firemustburn.blogspot.com.

Cool. I'm homeschooled as well and live in PA. Welcome!

Ooh! I'm studying Latin right now. Yay for people who learn dead languages!

Hey! I live in PA too, though I'm not homeschooled.

I love music too. I play percussion in our school marching band. I'm taking Spanish now, mainly because that's the only thing besides German our school offers. Yuck.

Anyway, I'm with you on English and History. Both rock. <33

Yay for Pennsylvanians! And homeschoolers.

Ah...the local school district is Spanish, German, and Latin. My older brother took German all the way through; I have no idea how fluent he is.

Though Spanish would be like more useful than German (where we live)...I'd probably have picked German if not Latin. I don't know why, but I guess it's because French and then Italian would have been my first choices, and Spanish is just too close but not the same, so I would have been stubborn and taken German.

What I love about history is the stories. I keep reading history books and think, "I want to write about this. No, I want to write about that." And then I want to be immortal so I can write all these stories.

Hey cool. I really like the Goose Girl as well. :]

It's awesome that you know Latin, I always wanted to learn but when I was in high school, the choices were Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, French and German. In fact, I think only one high school in the school district offered Latin.

Wow, so many homeschooled people here, and I thought I was going to be the odd-duck. But I live in Georgia. Technically, I'm not homeschooled because I just finished highschool (!) but I was homeschooled for...gosh, nine years. I had a love-hate relationship with it.

I am so with you on the math and science thing, so terrible at it. English is my favorite subject, plus it was the easiest and most fun. Atleast, it was to me.

Have you read any of Shannon's other books, bookwormfae?

It's funny, but homeschoolers seem to be common on book communities for some reason. Like more common than you would think. :?

[bookwormfae]

I have read almost all of them except for Book of a Thousand Days. They are all really good and I love the graphic novel that she did with her husband. Very cute.

I've only read the first pages of Rapunzel's Revenge. I found it too late, but I'm half-tempted to go to Borders after class today and read the whole thing.

Book of a Thousand Days is wonderful. The writing is just gorgeous. It's very different though.
