Hi everyone, I'm Alison and I love books. I have a degree in English Language and Literature, so I can be quite critical of language in books. But I like my fair share of 'easy reads' too. One day I'd love to write my own novel, and do a lot of dreaming/scribbling. I read a lot in the winter - Oct-Feb when the weather is miserable, then not as much as I'd like, as I like to hit the hills and trails running :-)
Hi I'm Laura, I live in England. I read mainly crime fiction with the odd foray into sci-fi and horror.
I know I have been AWOL, anyway I am back, still enjoying my reading and reading a wide range of genres. I have also got an interview to be one of the two library managers in Dorchester Library, fingers crossed.

Oh whats her name, I did a two year stint in the headquarters before I shifted to the prison.

Hello, I'm Katherine and I live in Yorkshire.
Somehow, I missed the 50 Book Challenge thread on MN until yesterday. I saw the link to this group and thought it looked interesting - so I took the plunge and joined.

Welcome to the group Katherine. I've added you as a friend. We're a friendly bunch over here :) We're an open group, but a lot of us are also on MN!
We have a monthly group read. The books we're currently reading are The Silver Linings Playbook, Findings and The Color Purple. Next month we're reading We Need to Talk About Kevin and Falling in Honey: Life and Love on a Greek Island. by Jennifer Barclay
Thank you for the welcome, Paul and Elizabeth. I'm still finding my way around Goodreads - I have been on here for a couple of years but it's only in the last two months that I've been 'active', as it were.

That's very impressive, Paul. Makes my reading list look positively pathetic ;-)
Hi Chantal. I am trying to be a bit more sociable too. Trouble is that I forget how long things in RL take and I take on more than I should; so that often means the things that I do for me (reading, knitting) tend to be neglected. I am 7 books behind on my reading challenge already.:-(

Hello Jen, thanks for the welcome.

I stopped doing the challenges after a couple as I didn't like the feeling of having to reach a target, even though it's obviously a self-determined goal. Everyone's different though and I do like seeing others meet their challenges :)

Welcome to the group Sandy and Evan :)
My, it seems like there are a lot of Elizabeths in this group. That is my "real" first name. I am an American who has lived in France for 22 years. So many of my American friends are in (face-to-face) book groups and I have felt kind of jealous of them, so I looked for a group today and this one seemed great.
I teach college English as Foreign Language in Rodez in the Aveyron department.
Looking forward to participating!

Welcome to the group, Betty :D. I hope you'll enjoy being a member of The Book Vipers. There's plenty to do on here. It's not too late to have a go at one of our challenges, or join in with our book of the month read which is currently The Silver Linings Playbook (fiction) and Findings (non-fiction).
Next month our fiction choice will be We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. A controversial book, which should lead to an interesting discussion.

Hi, I'm Renita, I'm happiest when I'm reading, writing and when I am with people who love to read. This group seemed perfect for me. Thanks for letting me join :-)
