Hi my name is...

[Heather]

Sounds great. Thanks, Jessi!

[Meghan]

Hi everyone!! My name is Meghan! Thanks Vered for inviting me! I normally don't review books but recently have been wanting to take the time and review what I read. I'm considering doing a review blog. The reviews and the blog will have to wait until I am done/graduated with school in December so I'll be a lot more active then! School work keeps me busy so I don't have a ton of time to read and do reviews! (though I wish I did! :p)

(lol), well my take on writing is considerably different than some. ;) I will admit right off the bat that I am a nontraditional writer so you would have to enter my mind...ooops my books with caution (lol).

Hey girl, good to have another "nerd"! Welcome, Christy! :o)

[Vered]

Hey Christy, do you write the music for the songs as well? what instrument do you play?

[Monica Porta]

Hi, there Christy. I'm curious too about what instruments you play :)

[Meghan]

Hi everyone! Thanks for the very warm welcome! :D

[Nian]

Hi my name is Nian and thanks to Vered for the invite! I'm a total newbie to Goodreads and reviewing (I just posted my first review ever!) but love the community so far and it has definitely broadened my 'to read' shelf...I actually feel like I spend more time deciding what to read next than actually getting down and reading it! :)

[Vered]

Hey Nian - congrats for the first review!!! Look forward to reading more.

[Vicki]

Hi Nian, I think reading/reviewing is so fun! Hopefully you'll enjoy it as much.

[Nian]

Thanks for the great welcome :)

[Alana ~ The Book Pimp]

Howdy, y'all! Thanks for the invite! I'm Alana, and I am a recovering read-a-holic... no wait, this isn't a 12 step meeting.

Sorry, joking aside, I love PNR, UF, and Horror was my first love of books. I've always been a fan of both YA and Adult, and I've been branching out into Romance, Science Fiction, Dystopian, and Fantasy. I love free books, be they from Amazon, authors, or publishers. Looking forward to seeing everyone's reviews and maybe some ideas of how to make my own better (reviews).

Bahaha! Yes, you'll find a number of proud addicts in this group.

[Monica Porta]

not even recovering... :)

Hi Nian :)

[Jessi, <~}{{Faery Queen**aka**PixiBell}{{~>]

I'm not even trying to recover...

[Alana ~ The Book Pimp]

I was just joking about recovering, I'm a lifelong book addict. Never going to kick the habit

[Vicki]

After reading Still Alice that's why I want to read everything I can get my hands on! You never know when your ability to read---make sense of words, communicate in the fashion we do in this group and elsewhere---will change. I seriously want to devour everything (especially with good covers)...just wish I had that speed-demon-reader quality!! Oh well, guess I'll just enjoy it more like slowly eating a delicacy in a fine restaurant. :o)

[Flora]

Hi, I want to thank Monica for asking me to join. I read and review almost any genre but I'm a particular fan of sci fic.

[Monica Porta]

Hi, Flora :) So nice to see you here. You'll love this place.

[Vicki]

Hi Flora, welcome to therapy! LOL

[Eri]

Vicki wrote: "Hi Flora, welcome to therapy! LOL"

lol

[Jessi, <~}{{Faery Queen**aka**PixiBell}{{~>]

@Vicki: Now, now we don't call it therapy. We call it literary support. Calling it therapy implies we want to recover or that we have a problem...LOL!!!

@Flora: Flora welcome to the group!!!

[Vered]

Oh, Jessi, nicely put. It's only a problem if we admit it's a problem.

And welcome to all! Feel free to share the love and invite your friends. We're a friendly bunch, but a few of us have caffeine and sugar issues.

[Jessi, <~}{{Faery Queen**aka**PixiBell}{{~>]

LOL...Maybe I should make a thread of no-no words for the group & what words to use as substitutions. Words like: therapy, issues, "stalking", fanatic, etc. I'll call it feeling loved in a not dangerous kind of way...LOL!!!

And caffeine & sugar are not issues they are energy supplements...LOL!!!

[Vered]

Energy supplements... nice one, Jessi

[Jessi, <~}{{Faery Queen**aka**PixiBell}{{~>]

I try...;-)

[Vicki]

Jess, you crack me up! I didn't mean therapy for being book addicts! I meant therapy as in needing someone to "talk" with and getting support! This is "group therapy" but only in the best of ways!

I genuinely LOVE this group!Everyone is so nice, fun and funny, intelligent, and we all have something in common.

So I think of this group as therapeutic for my soul, helpful in getting me through rough spots, a place where I can be ME and thrive with others of like mind! It's all GOOD, Jessi!

[Jessi, <~}{{Faery Queen**aka**PixiBell}{{~>]

Awww now you're going to have me tearing up at work if you keep that up Vicki then everyone will look at me and wonder why I'm getting over-emotional about end of year reports

[Vicki]

Now you are proving to be even MORE amazing! You work AND do all of this? Put ME to shame! It's all my students' fault that I don't have more time to read. I keep asking myself WHY Lord do I require essays on their reading?? LOL

[Flora]

Vicki wrote: "Hi Flora, welcome to therapy! LOL"

LOL, then I probably should have been here years ago.

Speaking of love...Who loves this group enough to want to be a moderator? We only need 1 maybe 2 more (First come, first serve)...

[Susie M.]

Hello everyone,

My name is Susie and I am an author, but I read so much that I also review books on my blog at www.susiemhanley.com

I am fairly new to Goodreads so feel free to friend me or ask me anything, I am a fountain of knowledge :)

[Ken]

Hi, my name is Ken. I recently joined the group because I like to write reviews of the books I read, and being an author, I enjoy being reviewed. My favorite authors are Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, and David Foster Wallace, but I enjoy good books in almost any genre. I look forward to posting my reviews here, and asking benevolent people for reviews.

[Robb]

Hi Susie and Ken! Welcome.

[Monica Porta]

Hello, Susie and Ken!
Great fan of Gabriel Garcia Marquez here :)

Heya my name is Hannah - thank you so much for the invite! I think I have found my guilty pleasure group on goodreads! I have loads of opinions on book series', single books, characters, authors and genres so I would make a really good member in this group! I really am looking forward to making new friends in this group also - have a nice day! :)
