[Marina]

Hello!!!! Im Marina.
My favorite author is J.K.Rowling, or J. R. R. Tolkien, or is it Umberto Eco? Oh well I can't decide. It's so hard to choose. Anyway I love reading books

[KC]

My name is KC Rhoads. My favorite possession as a child hands down, was my library card.
I have my new book out "The Corn Stalker: An Uncomfortable Truth" available now. I wrote it because I felt that the gift of 20/20 hindsight after tragedy was something I needed to share. The story simply would not leave me alone.
Now that I have that book completed, I feel I can enjoy other authors again before my next book.
There is nothing better than cuddling up in a comfortable chair or by a fireplace with a book that captivates my interest

Nice: I like hearing that someone who enjoys reading gets to work in the same occupation!

I just moved to the St Louis area from Tucson. Nice to hear of a familiar place that I always loved. Good time of year to curl up with a book out there in Vail.

Hi. I am a librarian from Oswego IL. Always like to know what Oprah is promoting. A new (to me) favorite author is Deborah Harkness, author of A Discovery of Witches and Shadow of Night (Harry Potter for adults!). "

Glad to have you, Heidi! Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself with the group. Have you been able to start reading The Twelve Tribes of Hattie yet?

[[deleted user]]

Hi, I'm a new member(K P Malor) from the UK and I certainly hope to read some of the books mentioned. Iyanla Vanzant is the only person I'm reading at the moment. What's life without Iyanla's uplifting books?

[Trish]

Hi! My name is Trish, and I'm from Oklahoma. Some of my favorite books include An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Thirteenth Tale, and anything written by Roald Dahl. I'm looking forward to reading The Twelve Tribes of Hattie and sharing with the group.

[Michael]

Hi,
I'm Michael Alan Mayer, retired 30 year airline professional and author of 'Time Trippers: The Nights of the Round Table.' I was inspired by and in some ways modeled my story on some of my favorite books: Jack Finney's masterful 'Time and Again,' Herman Wouk's 'Winds of War' and 'War and Remembrance,' and George MacDonald Fraser's 'Mr. American,' all of whom grasp history in the narrative in a most engaging way. I read history extensively such as Jon Parshall's 'Shattered Sword. As a result, I am very picky about my fiction, and it needs to really grab me. I prefer accurate historical fiction, such as Ken Follet's 'The Fall of Giants' which I'm reading now.

[Shaundra]

[Jenn]

My name is Jenn and I live in Raleigh, North Carolina. It would be impossible for me to name a favorite book or author because my tastes vary so widely.

I've read a lot of selections from the original Oprah club. Some I adored and some I could have done without, but in general it seems that Oprah and I are on the same page when it comes to taste in books :) Thus, here I am for 2.0!

I read Wild last week (to get caught up!) and I'm starting Twelve Tribes today!

[Ellen]

Hello all. I'm Ellen from Long Island, New York. It is hard for me to select a favorite author because I am an English teacher and teach many authors who I enjoy teaching, many authors, both new and old that I enjoy reading, and many Oprah selected authors who I read as well. I am often asked for recommendations which I do give, however I have lists and lists of books that I still want to read. Definitely not enough hours in a day.

[Carla]

[Christine]

Hi everyone!

I'm Christine and I am originally from NJ but currently living in Pittsburgh as I finish my undergrad degree. I don't necessarily have a favorite book or author (there are just too many to name - I can't possibly choose just one as my favorite!) But if I had to choose, I would say that Gloria Naylor is probably one of my favorite authors of all time. Recently, I also loved reading A Thousand Splendid Suns!

I can't wait to start reading The Twelve Tribes of Hattie :)

[Anna]

Hi! I am Anna from the Philippines. There are so many good authors so it's hard to single out a favorite. I get interested in various kinds of books from classics to contemporary to memoirs and biographies. If somebody tells me a certain book is worth reading I put it in my list and try to read it soon. I love discussing about the books that I've read. I joined this group for more book recommendations.

Happy reading everyone!

[Purest]

My name is Brittiney, I am from Houston Tx. and would love any book suggestions. I love many authors, not just one. But one of my favs is james patterson.

[Stephanie]

Hello, my name is Stephanie and I am from Rochester, NY. There are too many books to choose just one as a favorite however I love everything by Wally Lamb and Douglas Kennedy and Grisham is an classic favorite author of mine.

Looking forward to being apart of OBC 2.0.

[Pam]

Hi, my name is Pam. I live in Bryant, Arkansas, a suburb of Little Rock. I'm a retired kindergarten teacher. I read a lot, mostly escapist reading. Two books that I have read multiple times are Dracula and Jane Eyre. I read a lot of paranormal fiction (I always loved fairy tales).

[Michele]

1. Where are you joining us from? Hello I'm Michele. I live Wales (where Charlotte Church and Catherine Zeta-Jones and Anthony Hopkins come from) UK near Cardiff - the home of Doctor Who and Torchwood.

2. What is your favorite book or author?
I think that has got to be the most difficult question in the world to answer. It is probably easier to say what genres I enjoy most and those are: fantasy, science-fiction, children's books and books which cast a different eye on the world and let me see from somebody else's perspective.

[Linda]

Hello, my name is Linda and I live in Toronto.

I could never answer what my favourite author or book is because I think I love pretty much all of them. It is rare that I find a book that I truly don't like. However, there are lots that I love more than others.

Love John Grisham, Michael Connelly and Ken Follett.

Among my favourites are tomes such as The Thornbirds, Pillars of the Earth, Fall of Giants, etc. In my younger days I read every single book that Catherine Cookson ever wrote. I guess you could say my tastes are varied and eclectic.

I try to read at least one non fiction book every month or two as well just to keep me "real".

[BE]

Hello, my name is Joy. I'm from Harlem, NY. I don't have a favorite book or author. I'm always in search of the ultimate book experience.
