Hello :) I am Ciska and living in the Netherlands (and no not in Holland, was born there though).No kids and animals here. Am a software engineer and am capable of developing small things myself too.
The possible books for this group scare me already... *goes planning some sleepless nights*
Hi, thanks for the invite Teneal :) My name's Hayley, I'm 25 and live in S.E England - just me & a three legged cat :)
I'm currently working my way through a loooong list of books that I bought but never got round to reading that will, most probably, take me all the way into middle of next year (Crime & Punishment, War & Peace etc are all in there:S ) and I'm not allowed to buy/download/borrow any books until they're read :(
Welcome Hayley! :) Hopefully some of them can make their way into the challenges/monthly reads etc in here then! :)
Hopefully, otherwise I'm gonna end up lurking in the 'currently reading' section :S Although I'm sure I'd make a lovely lurker ;D
Ai War & Peace for your better Sunday read. Good luck with that.

I'm Jessica. I'm 26 from the US. I am an editor and so my entire life revolve around books. I live on the shore and spend a good deal of time on the beach. I'm learning Spanish and glass blowing!
Hi everyone! I'm Jana I am 31 and live in Oklahoma. I am married no kids yet but we have been working on it! I am eager to get to know everyone! So excited to see people from around the world!!
Hi Jana! I suggest you get plenty of reading in now, because when the pitter patter of tiny feet arrives you won't have much time for it :) I recall that getting into bed early to read a book was something that I fantasized about! It's nice to meet you :)
Hi everybody, i'm Chris. I live in Australia, 23 years old and a pre-service high school teacher. I participate/run in a few different bookclubs on the website reddit, but i'm always eager to read more :)
Hello! My name is Melissia and I am a 33 year old who lives in Florida. I work as a Recruiter and am in the height of my travel season. This means lots of time for reading (on the plane at least) but not a lot of time to be on here. I was invited to the team by Esta and look forward to getting more involved when I can. I got a Nook for Christmas and am now obsessed with it.
Welcome everyone! Great to have you :)
I'm Laura and live in Baltimore, MD. I am a language arts resource teacher for the local school district. I have been married for almost 10 years and am a proud parent of an adorable beagle, Etta, who we rescued a year and a half ago. I love to read fiction and am always looking for recommendations.
Welcome Laura! This place is great for recommendations already! You'll find your TBR shelf growing before your eyes!
Hello everyone! I'm Kel. I live in Ohio with my boyfriend and my 3 cats!! ( my babies. They love to cuddle up with me while I'm laying in bed reading. I look forward to hearing what everyone is reading and discussing :)
Welcome Laura and Kel. I agree with Teneal, I think you will find many recommendations and great book discussions.
Hello Everyone!Wow! I am the "old lady" of this group so far.... but that is okay, because I love being 45 years old!
My name is Cecilia. I live in Northern California, and have a 13 year old daughter and a 7 year old Tibetan Terrier. I am a single mom, with a full plate, and lots of wonderful friends and family to keep me sane.
I look forward to getting to know all of you ladies, and discover many amazing books with you.
Have a wonderful evening and a wonder week ahead.
Hi Teneal!!! I have just been running into you in groups all over GR lolHello Everyone!!!
@Cecilia I am another "old lady"....I am 40 and it doesn't bother me at all : )
Some of you I have already made aquaintances with (Teneal, Jana, Cecilia) but for those of you I haven't, well here goes. My name is Robin and I live in a very small town in Nebraska. I live with my SO (Andy),my youngest son (Josh) and my two rescued furbabies (Saturn and Murphy). I am currently not working due to a fall that happened at work so I have had lots of time to read, participate in lots of reading challenges, lurk around GR, and add to my ever growing TBR mountain.
I look forward to sharing/discussing books with you all, as well as getting to know each of you. I am always looking for new books/authors to read. I hope you all have had a great weekend and an awesome week ahead.
Happy Reading!!!!

Significant Other : ) I could've/should've said boyfriend lol Just a habit from texting and being in groups that I use internet/texting lingo LOL
Ohhhh haha. I'm a bit slow with the texting language sometimes haha. You'd think being a teacher I'd have it down pat haha
Hi everyone, I'm Sue and live in Brisbane Australia although I spend most of my waking life in Newcastle doing leadership and communication coaching in the mines. One would think being away from home would give me lots of time to read, but just doesn't seem to happen so I am hoping to gather inspiration from all you lovely people and find my nose nestled in amongst many books.

Oh that's sweet! Welcome Sue! Teneal has made a great group here and I am sure there will be something that will takes your fancy - if not we can always have a good gossip anyway!
Hi I'm Lauren, from the UK and from what I've just read I'm the youngest here... I'm 18 and currently finishing up studying Photography and Double Award Art, next year I plan to further my education with an arts foundation. Other than reading I also love gaming, primarily pc at the moment but I still love all my other consoles too. I also blog. A lot. I watch too many television shows and films too.
I have a boyfriend of three years in June and we have two yellow bellied turtles - Kenpachi and Squirtle. I also have two west highland terriers - Max and Monty.
I have a ridiculous obsession with Adam Baldwin.
I think that is all.
Hi Sue and Lauren!!! Welcome to the group : )

LOL Adam Baldwin was in Full Metal Jacket and Independence Day : )
I watched the whole of Full Metal Jacket just cause I knew he was in it with his muscley arms out and being a lot younger :3 I mean I spent most of the first half shouting at the boyfriend like "You said that he was a main character!" haha.
He turned 50 last week ;_;
I remember when we would call any cute guy "A Baldwin"Daniel Baldwin was on Grimm the other night. They are all still so very cute... and quirky.
Adam Baldwin doesn't have any siblings :)I'm currently watching Grimm, I've seen about 7 episodes.
He is still A Baldwin! very cute and quirky.I really like Grimm. I like it better than Once upon a time. But I really like that too.
Thanks Lauren, Robin and Esta. I am going to condition myself to read and post. :D
