Welcome to the group, Sarah. I'm just over the border in North Dorset :)
Thank you Elizabeth, hope that you've had a good Christmas and not been too badly affected by the weather!
Hiding new. I'm west coast of Scotland.
Hi - I'm Gail, living in the south east with one small boy. We're both avid readers - I'm a cheapskate though so am generally restricted to whatever the library has on offer :-). Am looking forward to the magic square challenge to get me out my comfort zone!

Hi, I've just joined this group, although I've been on the Goodreads website for a while and find it fantastic for deciding what to read next. I now have about 80 books on my to-read list.I live in London and mostly read fiction (I don't do horror either Minnie) with the odd bit of history or science thrown in. I've had quite a few books for Christmas, which I'm really looking forward to reading, but also make good use of three different libraries, borrow books from my children and husband and pick up cheap e books when I can.
I'm keen to do the 50 book challenge in 2014 and really like the magic square idea, so will give that a go too.
Mod
Thanks Paul. The 50 book challenge is just to read 50 books (or whatever number you decide) during the course of the year. I have my total on my Goodreads home page under "2013 challenge".My to-read list just gets longer and longer. For every book I read from the list I seem to add two more that I want to read.
Mod
Welcome, Lizzie, from the other side of the pond.
Mod
Thanks for the welcome Paul, Jan, Jo, Elizabeth and Minnie. This is a very friendly group!

Hi, I am Ema. I live in Serbia with my hubby and sons. I am a versatile reader I love the magic square idea but it will be hard to find a genre I avoid.
Mod
Welcome to all new Vipers and Happy New Year! Also looking forward to the Magic Square Challenge.

Welcome, I also live in the South East and rely on the library. I regularly use the on line catalogue and can reserve items and suggest book purchases. I also love audio books to listen to in the car and have to reserve these as my own library only has a small stock.
Hi, I live in East Anglia. I am looking forward to the challenge so that I can try new books rather than sticking to familiar territory.
Hello, I just joined a few minutes ago. I'm a teacher and reader in Connecticut. Hope to find some readers and good discussion here!
Welcome to the group, Kathy! You might find the reviews members have written of interest -- aside from the general comments.

Hello all, I'm Erica from Florida. I love reading historical fiction. I enjoy getting good read recommendations from these groups. Thanks for having me.
Welcome to the group, Erica. You might enjoy our non-fiction group read, which is The Six Wives of Henry VIII. It is very readable (more like a novel) - I'm enjoying it.
Thank you very much Elizabeth. I'll check it out now.
I'm pretty good at joining groups. Rubbish at posting in them. I like history and historical fiction. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo (also known as 'The Brick') is my favourite book EVER. I seem to read slow, I can't bear to read less than 10 books at a time. More than trying to finish a book, I want to enjoy the journey. The best books are like holidays, you never want them to end.
Jazzy: You are a gal after my own heart: I also read slowly and, if I find a particular passage or image extraordinary, I'll read it over and sometimes just stop and think about it.Welcome!
Hi, I'm Claire,I live in Hampshire and found this group via mumsnet. I'm keen to do the 50 book challenge this year. My favourite type of books are fantasy fiction, currently reading the Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson.
Mod
Welcome to the group Claire. I am currently reading Elantris by Brandon Sanderson, and have the Mistborn trilogy to read. We have our own challenge on here too if you are interested.
