Hello, I'm joining you from Romania. As regards my favorite book, it's usually whatever I'm currently reading, whether I'm mentioning it on Goodreads or not. Being a polymath, I read in many different genres and I can't pick an absolute favorite author either.

Nice to meet you all. My name is Henry Gindt. I really shoot to read a book a week, which ends up being a book a...month :)Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like to trade book suggestions in historical fiction, classics and the latest non-fiction and self-improvement books.
Hi, I’m Jen! I enjoy historical fiction, but also enjoy many other genres. I’m very interested in learning about other cultures from others who live in those cultures. I’m beginning to feel saturated with European history this point, as the world is such a big and diverse place!
Hi, I'm Lisa Pence, Goodreads author. My favorite author is CS Lewis, specifically his Chronicles of Narnia series. I have a new juvenile fiction book releasing this summer on the subject of elephant conservation. Hope you check it out.
Hi everyone! Shubham here from the subcontinent of India. I love to read and draw and currently I completed Animal Farm by George Orwell.

Look forward to sharing books with you all. My favorite author is David Foster Wallace and favorite book would be infinite Jest. New Years resolution is to read 1 book/ week but will settle for 1 book/ month :)
Feel free to add me as a friend. I usually read classic fiction, science-oriented books and the latest non-fiction “hits” lol.

Hello, I'm joining you from Boston, USA, and my current favorite author is Leigh Bardugo because I loved the Six of Crows duology. Currently, I'm reading 1984 -it's quite fascinating. I just finished Truly Devious and Fighting Words today. I'm a fan of fantasy, realistic fiction, and recently, dystopian. I can't wait to talk about books with more book lovers!

Hi Henry! I am a huge historical fiction fan. It is rare to see me reading outside of that genre. But I made it my goal this year to branch out a little. What is your favorite era in history to read? I am stuck on a WWII craze right now and many of the books on my want to read list are from that era. But right now I am reading a Stephen King novel which I am actually enjoying quite a bit. But my next read is going to be something from Erik Larson.
Feel free to add as friend...maybe we have read some of the same books and can discuss :)
I'm Violet from Texas! I love crime, physological thrillers, cookbooks, horror, humor/comedy, thrillers, suspense, young adult, nonfiction and fiction.I recently started getting into reading again (after 10 years) and looking for more books to read.

Hello, I'm joining you from Bristol in the UK. I run my own business and work for an indie publisher in book marketing, I love to read and this group caught my eye because Michelle Obama's book is on my list to read this year. I enjoy fiction; having read four Jojo Moyes books in three months, she's my favourite fiction author right now. But my favourite book of all time is the classic, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I also read plenty of non-fiction, both spiritual and business books. I recently finished Glennon Doyle's Untamed, and I'm working my way through Atomic Habits. Happy to connect and hear your recommendations.
Hi Debra, I enjoyed "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho and also "The Einstein Prophecy" by Robert Masello, feel free to check out my reviews on Goodreads !! by the way... Welcome !!

Hello All,
Joining you from the wine country in Washington State. I have too many favorite authors to list them all - but two I especially enjoy are Jane Austen (for the wit) and Christopher Moore (for the hilarity). I just started Caste by Isabel Wilkerson.
