Good wishes are winging their way across the waves, along with a big bag of ju Jubes, one of my go-to snacks when I was taking courses, then sweating over report cards.

message 704: by Julia (new)

Julia (juliace) Hi All - my name is Julia, I'm 47 yrs old and live in Orlando FL w/ my BF of 15 yrs (no kids but are talking about a dog).

I will read just about anything that catches and keeps my interest. I don't have a favorite genre, but some of my fave authors are Nora Roberts, JD Robb/Nora Roberts, Kristin Hannah, Tess Gerristsen.

In addition to reading, I love to go fishing w/ my BF. Living in FL we have alot of opportunity to go salt and fresh water fishing.

Laurel (goodreadscomboddy_l) | 621 comments Welcome, Julia. I live near Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where it is non-Florida-like for a good part of the year. I am sure you will find lots of great book suggestions and people to chat with in this group.

Robert Spake (ManofYesterday) | 53 comments Hey, I'm Rob, this group seems pretty active so I thought I'd join! I'm from England and have an eclectic taste in pretty much everything so I won't bore you with my lists of favourite things but an interesting fact is that I used to work at Disneyworld.

Welcome. I live in Canada. I think you will enjoy this group. I am a Disney fanatic...wish I could visit a lot more often.

Julia (juliace) Hi Robert!


message 715: by Chloe (new)

Chloe (chloef13) Hi Rob! Is it true that if you shout "Andy's coming!" the Toy Story characters have to stop what they're doing and drop?


message 716: by Robert (new)

Robert Spake (ManofYesterday) | 53 comments Chloe wrote: "Hi Rob! Is it true that if you shout "Andy's coming!" the Toy Story characters have to stop what they're doing and drop?"

It was, but I think they've changed it now because it freaked the kids out too much (and I don't think it was particularly good for the physical well-being of the characters). If you shout it at them now they just freeze.

Thanks for the welcomes!


message 717: by Chloe (new)

Chloe (chloef13) Aw, I was hoping to go and just shout that for a week straight! Haha!


message 718: by Robert (new)

Robert Spake (ManofYesterday) | 53 comments Chloe wrote: "Aw, I was hoping to go and just shout that for a week straight! Haha!"

That's probably one of the other reasons why they stopped it, I'm sure you're not the only one who had that idea!

message 729: by Kimberly (new)

Kimberly Granado | 5 comments Hello My name is Kim and I am from Massachusetts.
I love the beach, and just being outside in general. I dislike cold weather. I guess you could say I need to move out of MA and further South sometime soon:)
I like to read memoirs. I haven't been able to read as much as I would like to lately because I have a very active 10 month old baby.


message 730: by BattyKat (new)

BattyKat (prosserkat) Welcome Kim!

Yes, I'd move away for the northwest EAST.
Sorry, I've lived on this side of the country for so long, west just came out!

When you get a few hours, (yes, hours..) stop buy some of the Corners and see what's up with the site. It's full of fun, talkative people. In fact, most of us(ok, just me) can't seem to shut up!

Laurel (goodreadscomboddy_l) | 621 comments Welcome, Kim. GR will provide a good diversion from being a tired, overworked new mommy.

message 737: by Holly (last edited May 01, 2013 09:54AM) (new)

Holly (goldikova) Hi everybody!

I'm Holly, I am 48 years old. I was born and raised in the small Michigan town where I currently live, but I have lived in north Jersey, Wisconsin, Virginia & North Carolina.

I have a 6 year old daughter, 3 Italian Greyhounds, 1 rescue dog, 3 cats and we currently have 3 ducks. I am an avid horsewoman, but my 27 year old ex-racehorse died last fall, so I am currently horseless (a good one is so hard to replace, especially after 23 years together)

My official job title is Advertising Executive (it sounds so fabulous, but it really means that I sell newspaper & digital advertising to our local mom & pop businesses). I serve on my local library board and I am also a 4-H alumni and leader.

I have an old house which I am in the process of restoring (10 years and counting), I like to garden and read. I look forward to discussing books with everyone here and getting some good recommendations.
