First Name : Camille
City : Caen
Favourite author(s) : VE Schwab, Laini Taylor, Anne-Gaëlle Huon, Taylor Jenkins Reid
Favourite genre : Young Adult, Fantasy, Contemporary
Description:
My name is Camille, and my internet nickname is Ellydesmots. I live in Caen, the city of books, and as far back as I can remember, I've always loved reading.
My passion for reading intensified in 2017 with the creation of my bookstagram account where I like to give my opinion on my reading. This community that I discovered a bit by chance adopted me and even made me want to make it my job.
In January 2021, I launched my company. Book promotion, collaborations with authors and publishers, photo or video reports, interviews, booktube workshops...
In short, I do literary content creation on the internet! In March 2021, I hosted Festivelly, the first literary festival on Instagram. And in December 2021, I realized another dream, hosting a literary radio show.

Hi, my name is Peggy and I am 38 years old. I run the Instagram account and the Youtube channel Madame_lit. I devour books, (fortunately they are light in calories)...

Description:
My name is Marie but I also answer as Poppins. I'm currently in a Master 1 in business school in data analysis and business digitalization. If you ask my friends to describe me, they will all tell you that I am a globetrotter. Far from the literary world for my studies, I've been reading since I was very young. Sometimes I go out in my slippers, without a phone, but I would never forget my book. Due to a lack of socializing during our beloved pandemic, I created an instagram account in March 2021 where I am fully blossoming.
