[Devi]

Hello Everyone, My name is Devi Di Guida. I was born in Guyana but currently live in Montreal, Canada. I love to read - mostly books that are of mixed genres , suspense and thrillers, romance and mystery. The biggest draw for me is when the book is set in a part of the world that I have never visited and my brain can escape to that location. I have just finished writing my first novel titled The Cayman Hustle, a book that narrates the story of a deaf man, inspired by a deaf college graduate I met on a beach in the Cayman Islands. Give it a read. This deaf man has tall tales to tell, and takes on some billionaires in their own preconceived game. Give it a read.

[H.K.]

I am Holli and from the San Francisco Bay Area (USA).

I don't have a favorite book or author and read nearly all genres.
I like books that are fast paced and you can't put them down!

[Vanessa]

hello! I am Vanessa from Cincinnati. I am slowly starting to get back into reading for fun, as opposed to for school alone. I cannot minimize my love for J.K Rowling, but I am willing to explore other authors that can replace her as my favorite.

[Guy]

[Kimberly]

I am the author of "A Mourner's Diary:Poems of Grief and Healing" from North Carolina. I'm looking to interact with other authors and readers as well as gain readers. My favorite author has always been the late great Dr. Maya Angelou. I have loved her since a little girl.

[April]

Hi! My name is April. I currently live in the Columbia, SC area, but am from Florida. My youngest child is 17, so I'm preparing myself for Empty Nest and am not having the easiest time of it! I really think getting lost in a great book helps a lot! I have always enjoyed reading, but this past year I've seriously picked up my reading game :).

[Laurel]

Hello from the highest incorporated town in the US, Leadville, Colorado! This is Laurel, and I'd have to say that I am totally in love with everything Steinbeck has written (so far...I'm still working through his books)! I love reading many different genres, so I'll never say I have one favorite book. Writers who make me laugh, cry, get angry, or inspire any kind of emotion are the best. I also love savoring sensational sentences.

[Spring]

Hello,
My name is Spring and I live in Las Vegas NV. Two of my favorite authors are Lawrence Sanders (R.I.P) and Danielle Steele.

Many years ago I was an avid reader trading books with my daughter and sister. I made a promise this year to start reading again on a regular basis.

I'm old school, I prefer hard copy or paperback. I like turning pages. My preferred genres are autobiographies, murder mysteries, suspense, comedies and love stories, not necessarily romance novels.

[Camila]

Hi! I am Camila forma Santiago, Chile 🇨🇱. My favorite book is I Am Malala. Its a beautiful, sad and inspiring story.
I hope to get to know more authors and books to keep reading!

[Shelby]

My name is Shelby Londyn-Heath. I am an author, reviewer, and blogger. I just started a Facebook group titled: Global Writers for Peace. I think authors have the power to promote peace in today's uncertain world. I am partial to classical literature, but I believe all authors have something valuable to say. and they deserve to be heard. Peace comes when we open our hearts and minds to each other.

[Angela]

Hello everyone. My name is Angela K Parker. I am an Author, blogger and reviewer from the Myrtle Beach, SC area. My favorite book? I can't really pick one. I love to read. So when I find a good book, whatever the genre, I dive into it.

[Lindsay]

My name is Lindsay Detwiler, and I am from Pennsylvania. My favorite author is Nicholas Sparks. I adore all of his works. Right now, though, I am reading The Glass Castle and really finding it to be a deep read.

[Theresa]

Hello, my name is Theresa. I'm from Michigan and I don't have a favorite book. Most of my reading material has always involved children books and required course material. This is my opportunity to begin reading for my own personal interest.

[Theresa]

My name is Theresa and I live in Pikesville, MD. I am a 72-year-old great-grandmother who loves to write. My first book, Bursting Through the Clouds: Life Reflections and Memories, has just been published. This is Book I of my trilogy of life. It is a memoir of my childhood in 1950’s Jim Crow South and my journey to young adulthood in New York. A synopsis of my book can be found on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

These brave and honest reflections and memories describe a life unlike how we live in today’s world. Although this is a book that will appeal to all ages, many of the recollections will resonate with the childhood of the “silent generation” and “baby boomers” across the country. It offers a nostalgic look at a bygone era and addresses the unique challenges that continue to define an entire generation. This memoir gives voice to many who shared similar memories growing up, and readers will identify with one or more of the stories in my book.

Writing this book was my rare opportunity to relive my most profound moments with all the joy and all the pain of growing up in the 1950’s. I bring these memories to life on the pages of my book so that generations can intimately experience them. Some stories are humorous, some serious, some frightening, some heartbreaking, some traumatic. I reveal some of my and my family’s deepest and darkest secrets for the first time. I remember the impact my mother and my grandmother had on my life. My journey back has been a therapeutic process and I find relief knowing that I have had my say.

As we age, there is a need to be heard. The rumors about failing memory are real. Our long and short-term memory lessens and our mind starts to play tricks on us. We have difficulty remembering what is real, and what is imagined. We have difficulty separating reality from fantasy.

There is no better gift to give than the gift of immortality. My memoir is a chance for my grandchildren, my great-grandchildren to get to know me; for my living siblings to see into my soul. Writing about my life provides an opportunity for others to share in my journey and to connect their life to mine.

All lives are worth living and I want to encourage everyone to write their story.

[Shirley T.]

Good day everyone,

I am Shirley Harris I am an author, speaker and professional life coach. I've written my first book, Conversations With The Little Girl Within which will be released Fall of this year. It is a book about dealing with unresolved childhood issues.

There are billions of children disguised as adults who live recklessly as adults because of unresolved childhood issues. Throughout my life I've encountered hundreds of adults who are well into life that still talks freely about their traumatic issues stemming from childhood, yet many don't attribute the negative effect appropriately to their current relationships and lifestyle.

They've relieved and retold their stories thousands of times and with the same emotional intensity. Many have resigned to living a less than fulfilling life because they remain stuck emotionally at the age of their traumatic childhood experience.

It is my intention for this book to provoke people to reflect over their lives and recognize areas where they may feel stuck; an area that could be the result of an unresolved child hood matter.

[Theresa]

Hi Shirley,
I would love to read your book and will be looking for it in the Fall. The best to you with your continued writing.

[Pedro]

Hello!
I'm new to goodreads and to this group.
I'm from Porto, in Portugal.
Regarding favorite author and book, I would have to chose two.
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck and The Piano Cemetary by José Luís Peixoto.

Cheers

Pedro

Hi everyone my name is Rachelle; I’m an author I live in North Carolina.
My first book is my memoir an inspiring story that resembles many survivors like me that must go on no matter how much adversity we face.

[Stephanie]

Hi. Im Stephanie. I am in MN and my favorite book author...ugh. Thats a hard question. I really like Jacqueline Careys books. Her writing sucks you into the story. I like Neil Gaiman because he is so imaginative in his stories. I like Terry prachett for his discworld series that is so elaborate and fun.
I like classic for the standards they uphold and I really like Jane Austen. Who wrote for herself in a time when women werent thought of as authors.

I love to read to be transported to another workd, another dimension and just loose myself.

[Anne]

Hello everyone. My name is W. Andranette "Anne" Anderson. I am joining you from Pine Bluff, Arkansas.

I must admit that my favorite book is my own " My Journey with Infiltrating Ductile Carcinoma (Breast Cancer)" that was published in February 2017.

As a breast cancer survivor, I felt that it was essential, after some coaxing by friends and acquaintances that I share my story and how it affected me and my family.

[Lisa]

Hi y’all! I’m from Austin, TX & I am an avid reader. We have a few local book shops here that I frequent, I am not a chain store kind of gal. I do however support BOTM because they feature new authors & they have great prices. I give much more money to my local shops. Malvern books is a great shop here that features books from other countries & local writers. BookWoman is a local shop that features independent local writers. Of course, I’ve been shopping BookPeople since I was a kid(ATX born & raised)local books, book readings/signings. I recently answered a question about favorite book/author/book that changed my life. The bible changes my life everyday. I always go to it when I need guidance or an answer. I taught my son to read chapter books with my old hardback copy of To Kill A Mockingbird & still have it. I also shared with him my copy of Night by Elie Wiesel & still have it & buy anyone a copy if they never read it. I enjoy The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo & it changed my life. I recently(last week) read Donna Tartt’s The Secret History & I enjoy her writing. I crave every word & I notice that have the book is her laying out the scene, but it was needed & I wanted it. I wanted to read this book before her known book Goldfinch, I’m reading TOBC book, Behold The Dreamer, then I will read acclaimed Goldfinch sitting by my bed, 1 of my book club book, my second book club book & so on. I’ll see if my fave writer changes along the way again...

Hi! Congratulations & Best wishes on your Book Club.

[Mark]

Hi To Everyone: My name is Mark and I am from Boston. If you are interested in reading a truly wonderful human interest story then I highly recommend the book SMELL THE RAINDROPS by BA Austin. It is her Intimate Memoir and tells of a journey which begins with privilege and includes a life of heartbreak, addiction, recovery, triumph, inspiration, strength, and courage. This very easy to read less than 200 page memoir was written by an amazing woman with a powerful and compelling story to tell.
