About

The Blog: The Reading Fish started in June of 2011. I had wanted a blog for a while; around June Zareen from Reach for the Stars...and the Books and I finally had the guts to start our blogs! We were originally going to make one blog for the both of us and be co-authors, but we didn't realize we could do that. So now we have to separate blogs but still work together. <- Scratch that! She has actually joined me as a co-blogger! Keep reading to find out about her!

The Girl: Hey guys, I'm Ishita (ee-she-tha) but you can call me Fishy if that floats your boat. I am the girl behind The Reading Fish. I have been a reader all my life...Like seriously ALL my life.
I started reading at the age of 3, and haven't stopped since. I am an avid reader, and if I could have it my way I would never stop. Reading is what I do, but writing not so much lately I have been writing a lot. Books are my escape, especially YA fiction!
Growing up I have aspired to become a doctor most likely a cardiac surgeon or pediatrician. I love working with people, and have always been interested in the biological, and anatomical sciences. In high school I was really active, with starting a book club, being part of Academic Decathlon, and 6 other clubs. As a college student I still want to be active, but am probably going to make more time to do other things as well. I have been dancing since I was 3 and love it. I am classically trained as well as do Bollywood Dancing. Hmmmmm....oh I also love chocolate and have way too many favorite books, so don't ask my my number one favorite, because I have too many! If you wan't to know more just talk to me on twitter :D

The Best Friend, and now Co-Blogger: Hi there! My name's Zareen, also known as Taco due to the pronunciation of my last name. I'm an incoming college freshman who can constantly be found with a book in hand. I was an academic decathlete in high school, which is also where Ishita and I started a young adult book club. Alongside my passion for reading, I'm a huge fan of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team. I also write YA in my spare time. I think blogging will remain the extent of my published content, but hey, who really knows? For my more chatty (and ridiculously fangirly) side, feel free to follow @ShiningStar786 on Twitter! :)
