Hello everyone -I'm Elizabeth, a Midwest girl born and raised, living with my husband, 3 1/2-year-old twins, and father-in-law in the great state of Iowa.
I learned how to write my name when I was 4 years old so I could get my first library card, and I've been a bookaholic every since. I read across a wide variety of genres, and lately seem to have 2-3 books going at any given time (print, audio, and ebook).
I'm excited to get to know everyone and share some good books together!

Hello everyone, online I call myself Paezra. I'm 29 years old and I'm from the Netherlands. I love Oscar Wilde, but also fantasy like George Martin and Weis & Hickman.

Hi, Paezra! Welcome to the group.:)
Greetings...My name is Guy Robert Vestal. I am a single Father who has raised 8 Daughters alone our entire lives. I have four elementary school aged girls still left at home.
I just recently got back to reading and writing. I love to review books, but sadly enough, I am too old school to abandon ink and paper, ergo I own no e reader. Sorry. LOL
Hi I'm Nancy. I'm 51 years old with 2 grown children. I've been married for 25 wonderful years and I'm from Indiana. I read many types of books but really have favorites. I just enjoy reading and getting lost in the stories as a way to relax and unwind from my day. I don't read very fast so I get frustrated with a book club a friend asked me to join-it seems every other day they are all finishing another book. I like to take my time and get to know the characters. I am looking forward to finding new authors to read and talking to people about books I have read.
Hey guys, my name is Cat and I'm born and raised in Hollywood, CA. I work at Galaxy Press, and I'm in love with anything sci fi, classic sci fi, space opera, as well as vintage pulp fiction.

Favorite books RIGHT NOW (as this is an ever-changing thing) are Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, Dune, The Kingslayer: Seven Steps to the Arbiter and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?.

Hi, my name is Ross. But you can call me Ross. I'm from Dublin, Ireland.
I like Fantasy, especially Epic Fantasy, so if anyone has any suggestions, feel free! My favorite authors would have to be George RR Martin, Robin Hobb and George Orwell. I am also hugely interested in History, Middle Ages, Renaissance and Revolutionary. I watch House of Cards, GOT, and Suits regularly. I am open to all fiction though, I do not discriminate when it comes to reading. I also play games on PS4.
I hate romance, especially romance for the sake of romance. I do not mind it when it gels with the over arching theme, but a novel dedicated to romance is not for me. I always want a book with a definitive beginning, middle and end, I cannot stand useless sequel bating.
I do not have a favorite book of all time, but there are some I value amongst the highest. Of course LOTR, but there is also ASOIAF, The Farseer Trilogy, The Bonfire of the Vanities, Fevre Dream, The Great Gatsby, Animal Farm and Dune.
Thanks for a reading, and I look forward to talking to you all shortly. Feel free to add me as a friend!

I was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. But now 24 years later, I live in a tiny village called Warburg in Alberta, Canada.
I like gardening, photography, cooking, writing, listening to music, activism, and of course, reading.
I dislike sexism, prejudice in any form, rudeness, and teasing.
A small sample of my favorite books are Wuthering Heights, Dark Places, Gone Girl, The Demonologist, and The Damned. (I like a lot of books.)
A small sample of my favorite movies include Bandslam,
Persepolis, Bullet In A Bible, and Gone Girl.
(I like a lot of movies.)
Favorite music is anything from Punk to Jazz. But if I like a song, I like a song, regardless of genre.
Interesting fact? I'm a writer who used to write my own zine.
Thanks for reading!
Feel free to chat with me, or add me!

Have been reading for years and am now writing, factual, short fiction and reviews, non profit etc, hope to get published later this year, so am reading as much fiction and non fiction as I possibly can, when time permits and gleaning advice from friends and those within the industry.
A good link is the following, quite often I pick up a novel and fail to read, all the way through.
