[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Hello there, I got an invite, for which, thank you.

I'm Rosie, been on Goodreads for a couple of years and I'm a reader and not an author. I read a lot, in spurts! - depending how busy I am.

I live in a small coastal town twenty miles to the east of Edinburgh in Scotland.

[Dawn]

Welcome to the group Rosie.

[Lynn Renee]

Hello, Thank you for the invite to join the group. I am from Erie PA U.S.A. and read a lot averaging four books a week. My reading tastes vary, I enjoy a variety of genres. My service dog is a German Shepherd Dog named Otto.

[David]

Hi Rosie and Lynn.

Rosie I already know. Psst, Janet, Rosie likes fantasy.

[Janet , Moderator]

Lol!!

Speaking of fantasy I saw a trailer of Hunger Games Mockinjay Part 1 earlier. I glazed over ......!! ;)

Ah! but you do like Game of Thrones. I thought the first Hunger Games was great, but then it goes down hill somewhat. I'd also say it's more dystopian than fantasy.

Yeah, true enough. Have you read the Hunger Games trilogy? I have them sat on my Kindle but I honestly can't see myself going there, they were freebies. Found the whole premise quite depressing and cruel.

[David]

All true, Dominic.

I have read the trilogy, Janet. I thought the first was great, but the other two could have been better. An enjoyable read, if you already like that kind of thing, otherwise, I'm certain there are tons more books out there that you would get more enjoyment from.

[Ty]

I haven't undeerstood why most of fantasy or sci fi is about end of the world or some kind of survival mission.

[Paula]

Welcome to the group Rosemary and Lynn. Enjoy!!

[Martha]

Hi, I am Martha and live in the Fingerlakes Region of New York State. I spent the last nearly 40 yrs in healthcare but am now a library assistant in a small town library and love my new career. I enjoy mysteries especially quirky ones and love reading Preston and Child. Those books I can't put down! I also enjoy books about people my age and books concerning life in the early part of the twentieth century. I look forward to exploring with all of you!

[Aymen]

Welcome to the group Martha, it must be exciting to work in a library! I work in a public administration but i dream of writing books and owning a library. i hope so ...someday.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Hi welcome

Hi Martha, welcome!

[Janet , Moderator]

Hello, Martha and welcome!

[Paula]

Welcome to the group, Martha.

[Katy]

Hello :)

I was invited to join this group, so thank you.

I'm from the UK (Wales, to be precise) and I'm a university student. I enjoy reading (obviously) and baking. I also have a blog.

Hope to chat with you all soon :)

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Hi. Do you bake and read at the same time????

[Katy]

I do, actually!

[Paula]

Welcome to the group Katy!! You read while it's baking, right? I do the same thing.

[Katy]

Thanks, Paula! :)

I do read while it's in the oven, but I've also been known to read while mixing and kneading (family members get annoyed with having to turn the pages for me!)

[David]

Hi, Katy, good to have you here.

[Katy]

Hey, David! Saw Rosemary here, too. Anyone else migrated?

[Mike (the Paladin)]

So, how often do you find books baked into something???

:)

By the way, welcome.

[Katy]

Thanks, Mike!

I've not baked a book into anything so far!

[Mike (the Paladin)]

...keep up the good work.

:)

[David]

Ok then, how much baking ends up in the book?

[David]

Katy wrote: "Hey, David! Saw Rosemary here, too. Anyone else migrated?"

Not sure *looks around*

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Come-on David, baking always ends up in books. You eat cookies while you read...crumbs get in the book!

[Katy]

I learnt early on that if you lay a sheet of clingfilm over the Kindle, no baking gets in the book!

[David]

True enough, Mike. I work part time in a library, and you would not believe the state of some books that we throw out. A co-worker once found a crispy rasher of bacon :~/

[Mike (the Paladin)]

...humm, I've tons with coffee rings. I can imagine that books you have to, discard would be worse.

[Dawn]

Welcome to the group Lynn, Martha and Katy.

Thank you for the welcome! I too bake and read but the reading is only between putting sheets of cookies in the oven and taking them out again. I am way too messy as a cook to let my books get anywhere near my prep area. Disaster would not be too far away. :-)

I confess I get a little squeamish when I find unknown/unidentifiable things and stains inside library books.

[Lynn Renee]

{{shiver}} I've been the same way with library books. Just watching what gross things people do coming and going from my apartment building. Really scares me if I think about it to much when it comes to library books. That is why I try to borrow ones I can download to my Kindle.

[Franky]

Thanks for the invitation to this group. Looking forward to it :)

I am from Central California, currently teach in high school and love reading and film.

Looking forward to read insight in this group!

[Janet , Moderator]

Welcome to Katy, Martha and Franky! Enjoy the group.

[Paula]

Welcome to the group, Franky. Enjoy!!
