Looking for potential book reviewers, as well as others..."that would be our whole group that delights in humor before the rest of the world does... its nice to meet you... what kind of executives are you looking for? I don't want one was just wondering.. I deal with them all the time at work and I could ship you a few if yo like.. and ignore the missing man alert that will follow.
what kind of reviewers are you looking for? yo know you can give away your book here on the site in exchange for honest reviews...
glad to have you here with us...
I'll be back soon... going to go pack up an executive for Joel.... shipping it to any where Arizona...

Jennifer wrote: "Hi Dhanaraj, I'm a newbie too, welcome :-)"Thanks Jennifer. Let the new friends remain till they be able to say that they are the old friends. Hope we can say that later.
Welcome all newbies! I would prefer to welcome you all by name but I have lost tract sorry:(.

Hi, I'm Cheryl from the Midwest in the US. I am interested in so much that I could never list it. As for books I read almost everything including cereal boxes but more fiction than non-fiction. I love meeting new people although I am usually very quiet when first meeting someone - tend to study first and then form an opinion . Friends say I have a quirky sense of humor - will let you decide about that.

Welcome, and looking forward to chatting about great books.
Ok Jack, any feedback on what happened for the past almost 10 hours from our hosts?

Tell us a bit about yourself like:
Your name (or what you'd like everyone to call you)
My real name is Alice and sometimes I like to be Alice Cullen but other times I prefer Lady Alice Rowhedge depending on my mood! ;-)
Where you're from:
I am an Air Force brat, Air Force ex wife and mother of an Air Force pilot currently living in Colorado the most beautiful state.
Your likes/dislikes: I really dislike too much bad language and if a book has too much of it I often quit reading it. It has to be a super good book for me to continue. Once in awhile that does happen.
Your favourite books/movies/song: Probably Afternoon of an Autocrat by Norah Lofts and then Twilight.
Movies: Twister, Twilight, New Moon and Gone with the Wind
Song: any of the Twilight songs but especially Bella's Lullaby

I am a new author, new to Goodreads and late bloomer on social networking. W.C. Fielstra is my penname. I found the All Sorts group interesting due to the openness of the group to multiple media. My work is influenced by film, music and books, all combined.Most of my time is spent on creating anthropomorphic furry characters with heart. My first book "Kit and Kitty in Love" is a lush fully illustrated ode to love for lovers, expressing commitment through the unshakeable love between an anthropomorphic fox and vixen couple. You will find a strong Disney influence. I will be posting the intimate diary of Kit and Kitty in the creative writing section. The blog also captures those entries.
I look forward to meeting more people at my author page. Hope to see you here and there.

Hi W.C.! Welcome to the group. I love when new authors join our group. I like to think its a place to help authors start in their way. Please start a corner, so you can be part if our All Sorts neighbourhood. Just out if curiosity, how exactly did you find us? :)

I am impressed with your commitment and glad you are seeking an extra pair of hands to help you out. We do not want you to burn out. To reply to your question, I searched quite extensively within the Goodreads group search to locate a group which would have broad interests. Your group name was quite an apt way to describe it. I hope to find a community here because I am quite a late entrant to social networking. I am working on building my corner and hope to populate it over the next couple of days.

Hi guys,
My name is Patrick Sean Lee. At least for today, like Sara, lol.
I live in a house; a house in Southern California.
I love Zafon, Helprin, Steinbeck (certainly).
Music? Classical, mainly, but I've been known to play "My Boy Lollipop" by Little Millie Small over, and over, and over!
Movies...hmm. So many. Local Hero, Best In Show, Death at a Funeral (Frank Oz version). That's just a few.
I write (and read). Love Viki's and Hulu's Korean Dramas!
I've written three novels. The lastest is being read by a prospective agent. Hail Mary:)
@ Jack.Thanks as well.
Sooooo....should I read the threads, or simply ask the stupid question: What exactly do we do here?
Duh.

What we do here is amazing! Explore the threads, and make sure you join our All Sorts neighbourhood by creating your own corner. We are very active, so I'm sure you'll get a warm welcome. :)
