[Leonardo]

Hi,

I'm Dr. Leonardo Noto (nom de plume), a physician, avid reader, mixed martial arts enthusiast, and occasional author. I'm from a military family and have lived in 14 states, but I'm currently in Kansas City, MO. I am a huge fan of Michael Crichton (RIP) but I read widely and across genres. Some of the better books that I've read recently include: "The Medical Book: From Witch Doctors to Robot Surgeons, 250 Milestones in the History of Medicine," "Good Boss, Bad Boss," "Working with Emotional Intelligence," and "On Killing/On Combat."

[Monise]

My name is Monise; I live in Snellville, GA with my three kids. I absolutely love reading and this book is simply amazing! I am a little sad because I only have 70 pages to go and I don't know what I am going to do once I finish:-(

My favorite book is The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison. Each time I read it, I find something I missed on previous reads!

Looking forward to joining the conversation!

Hi, my name is Kelly and I'm from Louisiana but recently moved to Alabama. I am a mother to a beautiful baby girl. She is such a blessing and I can't imagine my life without her. I used to read all the time, but since she was born, I haven't found the time. I am finally starting to read again and she loves books too. I love when you can find a book that you can't seem to put down and you are counting every second until you can pick up where you left off.

[Charee]

Hi! My name is Charee, and I live in Georgia, USA. :)
I love a lot of different kinds of books, but historical fiction is my favorite! Some favorite authors include Ken Follett and Jodi Picoult. I believe they have very different styles, but they each create very rich and detailed characters.

I'm new to this group! I love the idea of sharing experiences of reading good books and, for me, my new book itself. It's called Boozehound! Breaking a 30-Year Obsession, and it's about my life with alcohol and the first terrifying week without it. I hope you can pick it up and read it. Best to all my new friends at Goodreads, and to you, Oprah!

[Mary]

My name is Mary Ellen Ryall. Love the idea of sharing our books and readings. Right now I am reading "Platero y Yo" by Juan Ramon Jimenez. Finished reading "Winged Obsession" by Jessica Speart.

Two published books are "My Name is Butterfly" and "The Monarch Butterfly Coloring Book." I look for environmental education books because this is my genre.

Hi! I'm Steph from Ohio. I cannot pick one favorite book or author. There are just too many! Since I got a Kindle last year I have been a sucker for free books. Too many books that I just cannot say no too!

Hi, I'm Angie and I'm in Yorkshire, England. Like Steph, I enjoy all the free titles on my kindle and don't really have a favourite author although I've read a lot of Jodi Picoult and Peter James in recent years.

Hi Tara, I'm in Goose Creek, SC. I've heard a lot about this series, considering reading it. How many books are there?

[Natalie]

Herndon, VA near Washington DC, but I am originally from England.
My favourite author is Kate Atkinson (Behind the Scenes of the Museum) and Ken Follett (Pillars of the Earth).

[Bridget]

Hi Everyone! I'm writing from Los Angeles California and my new favorite book is Is This All There Is? by Patricia Mann. I highly recommend this book! It's so real and captivating, I couldn't put it down. If you want a glimpse inside the mind and heart of a wife, mother, and professor who is tempted to risk it all for a passionate fling with a former student, you must read this book! It doesn't glorify infidelity. In fact, it shows the devastation it causes, but it also reveals how easily it can happen, even to people who want to be decent and honest. This book not only addresses contemporary issues of marriage, parenting, and infidelity, it also delves into many other challenges women face today - struggles with food and body image, friendships, healing childhood wounds, and so much more!!! Is This All There Is?
