Hello new friends! My name is Heather and I am from Maryland. I have loved to read my entire life and find it an escape that is better than other forms of entertainment that are mindless. I have always wanted to join a local book club but have not found any (we live in the country). Hoping that this is fun and I make some new book loving friends. I like to read uplifting and engaging books-not mystery or thriller. Just a really good story...

Hi Anamika,
After reading your post, and besides, wanting to welcome you to the reading group, I thought of a book that you might very well enjoy. I read this book a couple of years ago, and I was so enthralled by it; it was hard to forget the protagonist, Anahita, after I finished the book, THE MIDNIGHT ROSE, by Lucinda Riley. The protagonist, Anahita, is from India. The story tells of her love relationship with a well-bred Englishman, and what ensues in her life, his life, and many years later. I think that you will greatly enjoy this fine book!

Welcome to the book club Julia! I just have to share with you my absolute love of the late Dr. Maya Angelou too! Her writings seem to resonate every fiber of my soul. As an African American woman, this most wonderful writer echoed so much of what I have thought and felt as a woman of colour. A book that I loved and have reread time and again; one that you, too, might enjoy is: REDEMPTION SONG, by Bertrice Berry. Besides being an unexpected love story, the book shares with the reader a rich, but painstaking history of African Americans. Enjoy!

It would be hard for me to narrow it down to just one author as my favorite. My favorite books are philosophy and spiritual, by several different authors.

[Aguinaldo]

Hi, I live in the beautiful island of Florianópolis, state of Santa Catarina, south of Brazil. I've been an international-broadcaster all my life, married to a very talented writer, Rosa DeSouza. Myself I've only printed one book, about my international adventures around the globe. For now is only in Portuguese, by my wife has 10 books published in English, Spanish and Portuguese. The subjects vary from a book about the dogs along her life, to romance, to adventures and whatever else tickles her fancy in our convoluted world. If that tickles yours, she can be found on the Amazon.com.

I've had a difficult time reading lately, following a family tragedy last November. I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things, eventually. I have a wonderful support network, including a reading group comprised of beloved friends, but I still struggle to concentrate. Perhaps, this on-line community will be another stepping stone toward my healing.

[Colleen]

My name is Colleen, and I live in Rochester, New York. My favorite author is Hermann Hesse, and Steppenwolf changed my life. I will also read every book that Toni Morrison writes. I am very picky about the fiction I read for better or worse, and it is hard for me to read beyond the first ten pages if I'm not struck dumb with awe in my head and my heart. I would say my favorite genre is memoir since this demands writers be poignant and poetic. I'm glad to be a part of this group!

[Syafira]

Hello I'm Fira from Indonesia. I have a lot of favorite books and authors, some of them are To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Friend of My Youth by Alice Munro and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

Hi everyone! My name is Line and I'm joining you from Esbjerg in Denmark. I love to read and always have. I don't have a favorite author, or a favorite book, but I enjoy reading many genres: classical and modern novels, historical fiction and memoirs that are uplifting and light but also dark and real. I'm currently reading: The Wind-Up bird Chronicle, The King Killer Chronicle # 2.

I already have too many books on my to-read list but I look forward to new inspiration for must-read books.

[Lashonda]

My name is Lashonda Beauregard, I'm from Louisiana. I don't have a favorite book or author at the moment because I feel there's so many great authors and books available . Being an author myself I definitely want to support other authors as well. I like fiction, historical and literary, science fiction, suspense, mystery, and christian fiction and inspiration. I'm glad to be a part of this group, have a blessed day everyone.

[Patty]

Hello everyone! I am joining you from Toronto, Canada and like all of you, reading in one of my passions. I have to say that I am loyal to no one genre but rather read whatever strikes my fancy. The one author that I have been reading since I was young (although I can't say favourite, maybe one of my favourites?) is Stephen King. What is glorious about now is not only do we get to know authors from all over the globe, the access to reading has never been better.

I'm Fred, from the Detroit, MI, area. I'm pretty new to Goodreads and usually read crime genre, thrillers, etc. by James Patterson, John Grisham, etc. but I joined Goodreads in hopes of expanding my reading preferences. It's great to see the reviews and pick out a book based on readers' opinions. My first choice was a book called The Beech Tree and it was great! I look forward to picking out several more in other genre.

The book has won a Rraders' favorite honorable mention award and has received their 5 star award. In general it's rating is 4.9 stars on Amazon. For each book sold $1 is going to Variety Club. I attended camp as a child there and they were instrumental in me being able to walk. How does one get Oprah interested in looking at your book. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi everyone. I’m Eli. I’m a British writer/author, and I currently live in Hampstead in northwest London, although I was born on the south coast of England. I wouldn’t really say I have a favourite author as such, because I really admire many different authors for their individual styles. However, I can list a couple of my favourite books.

I read John Fowles’ “The Collector” when I was only 13 (I stole my father’s copy), and it scared the crap out of me, but it also inspired me to write a novel in a very similar genre, even if I did take almost 40 years to get around to it. Another book that had a huge impact on me – in fact it’s really the book that inspired me to become a writer myself – was William Goldman’s “Marathon Man”, which was eventually made into a very good movie in 1976 staring Dustin Hoffman, Laurence Olivier, and Roy Scheider.

It was actually the last movie Olivier filmed before his death, and he was so frail during shooting that he needed to have someone standing by with a chair so he could sit down between takes, just to make sure he didn’t fall down! Not that you’d ever guess it though, because he was such a consummate actor that he still managed to turn out one of the best performances of his career playing Dr. Christian Szell, a former Nazi SS Dentist who experimented on Jewish inmates at Auschwitz during WWII. Goldman is also a very accomplished screenwriter of course, as well as a novelist and playwright, and has won two Oscars for his screenplays of “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” (1969), and “All The President’s Men” (1976), both of which starred Robert Redford.
