Anissa’s Comments (group member since Mar 03, 2015)

Anissa’s comments from the 2025 Reading Challenge group.

Thank you for fixing that for me Kara.

Okay sort of a silly question but I tried to post my personal reading challenge and member corner under the appropriate topics but it only created a separate topic called "general". Is there something I did wrong?

Count me in for 5 please.

Hi, I am Anissa..28/F/WY. I have been on Goodreads for about a year now but this is my first foray into joining a group. It seems like it will be fun even though I am not the fastest reader. I most like historical romance/fantasy but I am open to expanding my reading horizons. I think the book club I started at work is a step in the right direction but I am open to any suggestions.

I know it's not a lot but I don't want to discourage myself for my first group and only second attempt at the yearly reading challenge.
