I was thinking that, too. Everyone is from someplace awesome...and I'm from Iowa. Trust me, it doesn't get less exotic than that ;D
Hahaha! I'm from Pittsburgh so not too excited either! But I'm living in Sydney, Australia, so that's a lot cooler :)

Hey I'm from Caracas, Venezuela. It has a really nice weather and we are known for our partying, beaches, arepas and our personality :) I'm so glad I found Goodreads! I don't have people here to talk about books, and I only read books in English so this is pretty amazing.
LOL- better than Pittsburgh too! Although I do love my Steelers and Penguins!

Australia is pretty amazing too! I will defiinetely go there sometime, it's definetely in my bucket list.
Like I said, this is pretty late (I actually joined about a week ago) but it's pretty rude to skip since everyone has posted where they come from.
I'm from the Philippines. I shouldn't need to tell you where our country is, you probably do already. (what with this conflict between China and all)
Nevertheless, hello everyone!
