Hey everyone!

I am a mother of three and love to read! I have all sorts of favorite authors, series and genres. Really I like to read a variety of things but I mostly read YA, NA and Urban Fantasy.

Hello! I'm Anna- I'm a therapist by profession. I'm an avid reader, and enjoy everything from erotica to literary fiction. I truly enjoy a variety of genres and try to mix it up. I love dystopian fiction, YA, NA, sci-fi, urban fantasy, and anything hot. I also like the dark stuff sometimes. Essentially- I'll read almost anything because you never know where a great read will come from. I love sharing my thoughts and feelings about books in my reviews, and look forward to doing more of that and hopefully making some good connections here.

[Bee]

Hi Emily thank you so much for your invitation. I am Bee both a book lover and a blog lover. I live with my husband in Norfolk UK and have just joined my 11 blogs into one. My most favourite books are the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and Women who run with the wolves but there are many more. You can find out more about me and my writing here: My blog "Something Random now and then which is bi-lingual English/German

[Kayla]

Hi guys! I'm Kayla, I'm 15 and I live in the Philippines. I don't have enough bookshelves in my room so people are always tripping over the books on my floor. I run a book blog: https://thebookishowl.wordpress.com/ so feel free to check it out. If you want to talk to me, just add me here and let's be friends!:)

[Claude]

Thanks for the invite, nice to be here! I'm an avid reader and writer too (7 books so far on Amazon - the latest is a sci-fi serial novel rated #1 today by Amazon on its list for 'Science Fiction Adventure" - book is free today, you can get it here: http://www.amazon.com/Will-Leave-Behi...)

I also started a group here on Goodreads to discuss Boomer Lit and anyone interested in that kind of books, intended for boomers and featuring boomers, are most welcome to join, it's an open group!

[Michele ~ la Smoocherina]

Hi! I'm Michele. Thanks for the invite. I belong to ReadOurLips! book Blog. I haven't done much with the blog since last year when my husband was laid off and I went back to work full time. But every so often, I do submit a full review. My coblogger is the shiz and does a good job.

I have made my reviews here on GR much shorter. I'm so tired of trying to get a feel for what the reviewer felt when they read the book. Instead, people put up 20 gifs and 15 quotes which amount to a book report. But how did it make you feel?

So if you look at my bookshelves (which are a shorthand review in and of itself) and my short review, you'll get how I felt and you won't be spoiled. I don't like to be spoiled.

Are you sure you want me in your group? :)

Liberating Lacey is my favorite book (ignore the cover) and I love Kristen Ashley, Cherise Sinclair and Laurann Dohner.

[Brenda]

Hello Ladies,

I'm Brenda a SAHM to a 4 year old and a dive coach. Reading is my escape as I have Fibromyalgia and it helps me focus on something good.

I'm pretty eclectic about my taste in books. Lorelei James, Erin Nicholas, Kelly Jamieson, Oliva Cunning, Elle Kennedy, Chloe Neil, Molly Harper and Cat Johnson are a few of my favorite authors.

I've started trying to catch up and write reviews on the books I've read and I plan on starting a blog after my summer dive season winds down.

Thanks for the invite and I'm thrilled to be here with so many fantastic women!

[Elle]

Thanks for the invite. I am an author and would love to have my books reviewed. I write New Adult contemporary romance, general contemporary romance, romantic suspense and paranormal romance. I look forward to contributing to this group. Thank you!

[[deleted user]]

Appreciate the invite---not online a whole lot, but I'll be sure to stop in when I am =)

I'm Francis, 32 , live in Switzerland, though transplanted from California (Placerville). Kind of a hermit, but adore my girlfriend. Why she digs me I don't know, but I'm grateful and crazy in love. I'm kinda like Carrie above, in that I prefer books to people most of the time (except Georgette, a.k.a. the one). I only joined Goodreads because she wanted me to make friends here in Swiss-land, but she wasn't expecting onliners (grin).

Love a good mystery, some science fiction (YAY--they're making an Ender's Game movie!!)...but my true passion is a really good fantasy. You can mix in romance, adventure, whatever you like--but it has to be a place I want to visit. The characters have to be people you want to step through a doorway and hang with. Does that make sense to anyone?

Love authors like, Tolkien, CS Lewis, J.K. Rowling, Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman, Robert Jordan and Terry Pratchett. But I have to admit something...

I picked up an Indie book, on a dare mind you...and I have been insanely hooked ever since. I know, I know--some people think I was crazy, but I'm learning there are some seriously great books out there! Anyway, I found my absolute favorite: The Wanted Hero books.

The storyline is, how can I say this...addictive? Incredible? Flat-out butt kicking...that's closer to the truth.

The author is Jaime Buckley and he's crazy. He has to be--he's got 11 kids! But whatever crazy he is, works. I suggest you check out his books--and all of it is the same universe, wrapped around the same storyline. If I could suggest books, I'd say, read them in this order:
, , , then . He writes as a gnome too, which is hysterical.

Sorry, I'm rambling. Thanks for the invite and may the books be endless on your shelf!

F.

P.S. I'd love to make more friends--so don't hesitate to throw me an invitation if you have room around your book light for one more reading junkie. (smirk)

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the invite to join. This sounds like a fun group. I am a newly published author of erotic romance and also a book junkie. I love to read. My favorite types of books are paranormal romance ranging from ya-erotic. I am a huge sap, so I only read books or series that have HEA's, otherwise I will obsess over it for weeks and wish I never read it, lol.
Looking forward to chatting with you all.

[Erin]

Hello, my name is Erin. Thank you so much for the invite!

I love reading about others finding love... I, like so many others in this group live vicariously through the romance stories I read... Ah, love... The books are, for the most part, my love life right now. LOL

I'm going to have to check out Kristen Ashley, I don't think I've read any of her books. Hmmm...

Have a great evening, everyone!

[Darren]

Hello folks. I'm Darren I'm 42 and I'm an avid reader, reviewer, writer and recently small publisher.

I tend to read crime, sci-fi, humour, some literary fiction and a little horror. I read a lot and review everything I read. I'm always skirting the top 1,000 UK reviewers on Amazon, this might give you some idea of how much I read. My own fiction is published by Byker Books. My fiction is set on a run down housing estate in the UK, the series is called Tales From The Longcroft. I publish others under Near To The Knuckle publishing. Our first anthology called Near To The Knuckle Presents: Gloves Off was recently released. This isn't a sales pitch, you can find all of these Good Reads should you be more interested.

I am keen to speak to other reviewers of all genres so very much appreciate the invite. You can get me on Twitter as @groovydaz39 or @Longcroft_Tales.

It'll be great interacting with you all.

[Gokce G]

Hey everyone, thanks s much for the invite, I'm Gokce :) I try to read as much as I can and only recently I've started up a blog where I post my reviews outside of Goodreads.
I'm a big lover of historical romance, and my favourite auhtors are Lisa Kleypas, Julia Quinn and Karen Hawkins from this genre. I also absolutely enjoy reading paranormal romance as well and a big fan of Lara Adrian's Midnight Breed series and Nalini Singh's beautiful writing.

I always welcome new friends who're interested in books and reading, so feel free to contact me, and take care!

[Elaine]

Hello All and a big Florida shout out to all of you, especially Emily for the invite to join the group!

I am business executive by day, and multi-tasking reader, reviewer, and writer by night...My tastes are a little eclectic but really enjoy historical, biographical novels. Currently I am reading The Paris Wife, and Divergent (told you my tastes were eclectic).

Last year I realized my dream of becoming a successful published author and its thanks to reviewers like you that it has been such a wonderful experience. Thank you all for taking time to share your thoughts and recommendations...it truly is what makes the difference!

Looking forward to hearing about your latest reads.
