Hi ! My name is Evi. Umm... I'm from Singapore. I try to read alot but with the amount of projects and reports I usually don't get to read that much. Plus, Singapore doesn't get books that fast (?) so I guess I might not be able to find some of the books. >.< !

[Gisbelle]

Hey there Evi! I love Singapore :) I went there last December.

Welcome to the group. I hope you can join in the discussion, but if you cannot find the books to read, it's ok :) Still feel free to drop by :)

Ooh.... I am going to read this book soon too :) Maybe we will add it to the group read someday (now we have a lot already) :D

[Naomi]

Hi, my name is Naomi Rabinowitz and I'm the author of the contemporary romance Revenge of a Band Geek Gone Bad I'm from NYC and am happy to be here.

That said, I love YA romance stories -- both reading and writing them. I just finished reading The Secret of Ella and Micha, which was HOT and am in the middle of reading the Brenna Blixen series. So far, I'm Team Jake all the way ...but we'll see. I do like bad boys like Saxon!

[Gisbelle]

Welcome to the group Noami :) I'm planning to read Secret of Ella & Micha too.

[Nicole]

Hello Everyone-

I'm Nicole and I also read anything and everything. Lately I've been reading romance across the board (from YA to Erotic Adult). I jumped on the 50 Shades bandwagon pretty early on and haven't looked back. I've read Easy from this months selection and I LOVE IT! I hope I can get some more goodreads friends and recommendations from this group!

[Gisbelle]

Hey there Nicole! I read all kind of romance too. I read FSoG a few months ago. Sadly, I didn't like it (maybe I am not that into BDSM)

Hope you have fun here :)

[Naomi]

Hi Nicole,

If you like erotic YA, try any book by Jay Bell. He writes YA gay fiction and his stories are a cross between dramatic coming-of-age tales/really hot scenes. I really like his work.

[Gisbelle]

I have only read a few MM romance. But this one is my absolute favorite: Don't Let Me Go

[Nicole]

I just got Ella and Micha but I have to crank out some library books before I get to the one's I've purchased. Glad I'm hearing so many good things :)

[Naomi]

Ooh, I'll have to check that one out! Thanks!

[harshini]

Hi! *waves*
I am Harshini, I am almost 15 years old(one month away) and I love YA contemporary or chick-lit books :)
Some of my favs are:
Anna and the French Kiss
Lola and the Boy next door
The Last Song
Pushing the Limits

[Gisbelle]

Hi Harshini

Those are my favorites too :) (except The Last Song since I have read it yet)

Welcome to the group :) I hope you find it enjoyable here!

[harshini]

Hope I do too! I am a member of so many paranormal clubs, but I love this genre too!
PS You should read The Last Song..!

[Gisbelle]

I watched the movie already :) That's the problem. I generally don't read the book after I watch the movie :D

[harshini]

Good point, sometimes the book might disappoint or the movie might. But I think the movie and the book are the exact same thing, since Nicholas Sparks wrote the script

[Gisbelle]

Oh really? I liked the movie, so I guess I would love the book as well :)

[harshini]

Yep he did. In fact he wrote the movie script before the book. So I guess you are safe :)

[Pang]

WELCOME EVERYONE!!! :D Let's fun together on this group! ;))

[Omnia]

hey am OMNIA from Iraq living in EGYPT , 3rd Year Medical student :)

[Gisbelle]

Hey Omnia! Wow, a future doctor? Wonderful :D Welcome to the group.

[Evelyn]

That's so cool! I don't think there's was many people my age

[Gisbelle]

This makes me feel like an old lady :D

[Renee]

Hi Everyone :)

My dream is to become a writer/author and i'm currently writing my first YA Contemporary Romance book :)

[Gisbelle]

Hey Renne :) I hope you reach your dream one day :D Welcome to the group :)

[Renee]

Thank you so much Gisbelle, glad i joined :))

[Mary]

Hiya! My name is Mary and Im new here. Ive never done something like this, so here goes nothing. I love any kind of romance and I've read many books recently so I currently can't pick a favorite. :)
