Howdy! I'm Becca from Austin, TX. I've been watching Oprah for years and I've known that she's had a book club; I'm just happy to see I'm able to join now. I'm intrigued by everyone's different reading style and would like to branch out one page at a time. I love authors Janet Evonovich and Aleatha Romig

Hi Becca and Manasia!

[Cydnee]

Hello from Atlanta! My name is Cydnee and I am thrilled to be a part of something positive in the Ethernet! Great to meet thousands of fellow readers.

I read multiple books at once depending on my mood. Currently in progress on the Kindle are:

Truly Madly Guilty
Stalin's Daughter
Infinite Jest (don't know if I'll ever get through this oddity)
Mindset
Immunity to Change
Ask for It
NeuroTribes

Have to admit the fiction and thrillers are more captivating during these summer months. Loved, loved, loved the first two in Stephen King's trilogy starting with Mr. Mercedes. Saving the third for a treat.

Look forward to getting tips on great books.

[Bea]

Hi! My name is Bea and I am joining you from Sweden. I find it very difficult to name a favourite book since it changes over time. When I was young and started to explore books it was Astrid Lindgren who was my favourite. But it changes. All the time. Which I think is a good thing. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to explore new/old authors and books. But I do love Steinbeck and John Irving.

[Grace]

Hi everyone! I was pleased to see this particular group as I feel that interest and input will be global that provides a better world view for myself. I am constantly reading something, usually fiction and this past year have been reading books specifically to the Rory Gilmore book list. I've found some that there is no way I will ever finish because of the subject matter and others have been great finds and made me feel happy that i started reading this list or i never would have attempted reading those specific authors. I look forward to some interesting learning!

His writing was an inspiration to my own. I'm also a big fan of True Grit (again, book and film [remake]) by Charles Portis. He was also an influence on me.

Reading is more than a passion...is the only way of life.

[Joi]

Hello fellow book lovers and readers! My name is Joi (pronounced Joy) and I live in Virginia. It is really tough for me to choose just one author for my favorite but I think it is safe to say that Ted Dekker is my favorite author. As far as my favorite book, it is more like a series of books which coincidentally are not written by my favorite author, it is the Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon. I look forward to exploring new books with you all!
