First book finished! I hope to finish at least 3 or 4 today so I will update closer to the end of the day.

The first ones are pretty good so far! Would you recommend anything similar?

Ok you asked for it Cynthia. Here are my current starts for this round
Scar Tissue
As Long as We Both Shall Live: Experiencing the Marriage You've Always Wanted
Where the Crawdads Sing
Shadow Prey
Eyes of Prey

I should be able to add at least 1 more before we start.

I'll follow the lead. I'm John and I'm a book-a-holic not looking for recovery. I was raised in South America but currently live in CA, USA. I am blessed enough to really enjoy audiobooks which means I can listen to them almost all day long, (running, doing laundry, in the car, etc) If you have any questions about audiobooks, I am always happy to share anything I have experienced.

This team cracks me up! Love it.

You know I have way too much fun with this group. I wasn't going to this year but I can't stay away. I am in for Autumn.

Welcome readers! Make sure you take a look around, check out the book shelves and lend your voice to the monthly book reads.

Now stop messing around. We have a pile of books to read and you need to get to it.

For those of you joining the reading room and finding a comfy spot to chill and read, what are your favorite reading items of choice? Do you need a blanket, a cup of tea/coffee, a fire, a treadmill, etc?

I prefer a black coffee! Hot and bitter, like my soul :)

Welcome! Jasmine? Earl Grey? Chamomile?

Welcome to the group! Take a look around but don't linger. Pull up a chair and get comfy.

Do you prefer coffee or tea when you crack open a book?

As long as you don't send the pizza away for having pineapple we can still be friends :)

Welcome the this weeks comedy hour! You thought this was about books? Wrong. Now we need to hear your corniest joke!

Enjoy your time here. Books are wonderful and especially better when enjoyed with a friend.

Welcome one and all! Step right up and grab a book and a comfy place to get your reading on. Whether it is drama, romanic, sci-fi or western, all are welcome. Except literary fiction, I hate literary fiction. Just kidding, just kidding. You can read those here too.

And please add more pineapple to the pizza chef!!

Oh Leeam and Ajay, you wound me. I will console myself in my pineapple topped pizza as I cry in the corner while listening to Urban Fantasy.
