Religious/inspirational. I recommend Standing on the promises by Christina Whitaker. I just finished this book and when you read a really good book that impacts your life you want to share it with everyone. I have to wait to read something else because this book is still on my mind. An excellent book to read.

[Michelle]

Hi all, I'm Michelle from over the Golden Gate Bridge in Northern California, and I'm going to wrap this book and put it in my Christmas stocking , if I can wait 'til then to start reading!(...Along with my Non-Fiction Book Club's next read, The Disappearing Spoon.) I am a paper book reader FYI, I do not want a Kindle or other electronic reader.

I have read most of Oprah's picks, although not with the Oprah Book Club, and generally love them. My favorite novels I've read lately were "The Art of Fielding" and "The Help", but there are lots of other well-loved titles on my Goodreads list (which I update religiously.)

Looking forward to being part of the group!

[Terri ♥ (aka Mrs. Christian Grey)]

Hi, I'm Terri. Where am I from? A little bit of everrywhere but I currently reside on the east coast.

I'm an avid reader. I've read over 250 books this year even with a full time job, a husband and kids. This is because I listen to a lot of my books. Love audio.

My favorite authors, I have many. Too many to list. I like all genres. Check my bookshelf, reviews, and fav author's list if you are really so inclined.

Thanks for having me.

[Austin]

1. Where are you joining us from?

Hi all! My name is Austin Wimberly. I'm the author of Sobornost, and I'm from Birmingham, AL.


2. What is your favorite book or author?

This is a tough question. I'm a fan of The Confederacy of Dunces, and I enjoy most Dickens novels.

As far as authors go, I love reading Ann Patchett, John Irving, and David Foster Wallace. If I had to pick one favorite author, though, I'd have to go with Tolstoy. I know that probably sounds pretentious, but it's true. No other author has affected me so profoundly.

[Debbie]

My name is Debbie, and I live in east Tennessee. I have 3 favorite books: The Help, Where the Heart Is, and Walking Across Egypt. Some of my favorite authors are: John Grisham, Janet Evanovich, James Patterson, John Sandford, and many more!

[Linda]

I am an adventure travel writer and an author. I find it strange that I can't discuss what I have written on Good Reads but I can tell you that I love outdoor adventure and that I am a Hawaii aficianado.
My favorite authors are Jack London, Tim Cahill, Paul Thereoux, Peter Mathiesen..Maya Angelou..well the list is endless so I won't go on.
So here I am.

[Jamie]

my name is Jamie. I'm sure if I have a favorite author because I've only really started reading books for enjoyment within the last 6 months. It's been so exciting!

[Lacy]

my name is Lacy and i'm from northern california. im a big historical fiction fan but read anything that catches my attention within the first 100 pages. never been in a book club or anything like it so this should be fun!

[Jennifer]

My name's Jennifer, I'm joining from the U.S. My favorite author is probably Philippa Gregory. I just bought "The Kingmaker's Daughter" and am looking forward to "The White Princess" next summer.

[Vanessa]

My name is Vanessa, I'm currently living in Philadelphia. Everyone I work with knows me as the girl who loves to read (and started our work book club). I would have to say, after discovering Jeffrey euginides, I fell in love with his work. As a comfort read, I always turn to l.m. Montgomery or the Harry potter series.

[Natasha]

Hi! My name is Natasha and I'm from Pennsylvania! I thought I'd join to get more suggestions on books that may not fall into what I've been reading (and getting recommendations for) lately. I don't think I have one favorite author, some of my favorites are Mary Monroe, J. D. Mason and Cheryl Robinson. One of my favorite books has been 32 Candles by Ernessa T. Carter.

[Fjoy]

Hi. I'm Joy from New Jersey. If I had to choose a favorite book, I would say Sula, by Toni Morrison. I'm not even sure why. I just love the way that book made me feel. Edward P Jones' The Known World was some of the most impressive writing I've ever read, so he and it would be a favorite as well.

I read the Twelve Tribes of Hattie last week, so I'm looking forward to the discussion.
