Introduction

[Sarah]

The idea of this group is that people are able to read a wider range of books than they normally would do. Enjoy and introduce yourself. Each month we will have four different books to read on different subjects

[Gloria]

Hi !
I'm Gloria, i'm from Belgium and i absolutely LOVE reading !! :D

[Sarah]

Hi I probably should introduce myself. I am the mod for this group. My name is Sarah, I'm from England and I am studying for my GCSEs at the moment. And I also love to read a range of books and is why I have made this group

[Manon]

Hai, I'm Manon and I'm from the Netherlands.
Most of the time I read the same genres of books, so I love to explore more :D

[Claudia]

Hello. My name is Claudia, from the wonderful Kiwi land of New Zealand. I read anything of any genre. A pleasure it is to meet you all. :)

[Sarah]

You too!

[Manon]

Nice to meet you :)
New Zealand, I would love to go there :P
(it looked so beautiful on LOTR :P)

[Sarah]

I know I would love to go there too, the flight would kill me though

[Manon]

Yeah, I don't even want to think how long that will take :P
We should make stops in other cool places and then fly further, then we can do it :D

[Sarah]

Yeah that would be the only way I could do it

[Turquoise]

Hey I'm Turk!(Turquoise). As long as the book is good, I'll read it.

[Claudia]

Hello, Turk! :)
LOTR did make this place look beautiful, I agree, though when you live here you don't really notice it haha. @_@ What are your countries like?

[Sarah]

At the moment the rain has returned to England, yay. Absolutely sick of it but otherwise nice. Apart from the fact that the fog has come

[Manon]

Has returned? That means that the rain was gone, in the Netherlands rains never stops :P haha, okey, sometimes :)

Yeah, I understand, then all the beautiful things are normal, in the Netherlands I also don't see very interesting or beautiful things, but a lot of German people see them, they always come here and they love it :P

[Sarah]

We had a couple of days of sun and well I think that was the extent of summer

[Manon]

haha, nice :)
We had last week 2 days of sun, and that was when I went to a festival, so I was extremely lucky :D
Now I go study again, ugh, math :s

[Sarah]

Try and do better than I did in mine

[Manon]

I'll try, but maybe yours will be better than you expect it to be :)

[Sarah]

Hopefully

[Rebecca]

Hi! My name is Rebecca and I live in the U.S. I love spending time with my husband, reading, cooking and exercising. I'm looking forward to reading many more books this year and getting to discuss what I read with people from all over the world.

[Manon]

Hi Rebecca! :) Nice to meet you!
Well, all over the world is not going to be a problem, I think nobody lives here in the same country :P

[Sarah]

I know at the moment we are well spread out.

[Ellie]

Hi, I'm Ellie. I'm an author, but I'm also an avid reader. I enjoy all sorts of books from biographies to crime novels. I also read a lot of general fiction and since I've become a novelist I read a lot more non-fiction

[Manon]

Hi Ellie, nice to meet you :)
Woow, you write books, cool :) What kind of books do you write? And which genre?

[Sarah]

Hi Ellie nice to have you in the group

[[deleted user]]

hi, I'm Tammy. I live in the U.S. I mostly read historical fiction but need a change from time to time.

[Sarah]

Hi Tammy well this is a perfect place for you

[Rebecka]

Hi, I'm Rebecka. I'm from the U.S. I love reading, but sometimes I get stuck in one genre and need help getting out of the rut :)

[Sarah]

Hi Rebecka nice to have you and hopefully this group will help you pick book from a different genre

[Randy]

hey, my name is Randy Blackwell. I am running a Kickstarter project right now to publish three novels and an RPG Book that all have a redemptive message, spiritual symbolism, and encourage parabolic lessons.

I recently applied for a vendors booth at Dragon Con. Dragon Con is a multigenre convention which takes place once each year in Atlanta, Georgia. As of 2012, the convention draws attendance of 52,000, features hundreds of guests, encompasses five hotels in downtown Atlanta near Centennial Olympic Park, and runs thousands of hours of programming for fans of science fiction, fantasy, comic books, and other elements of fan culture.

There were thousands of applicants for the 350 booths available. Lamplight Media was one of the applicants chosen because of the uniqueness of our product (Christian Fantasy/sci-fi novels, RPG Books, and art). I count it a God thing that we were chosen out of so many secular applicants.

The Kickstarter ends in 20 days. We are 27% of the way to our goal. Please go check it out at:

[Jess]

Hi everyone, I'm Jess and I live in the UK! Currently studying Interior Design in Manchester, so I've joined this group to (hopefully!) get me more educated in much wider genres. I think my favourites are fantasy, sci-fi and romance, but I'd love to read the classics just because they are a must-read! Also, this is just an incentive for me to read more :D

Hi Jess nice to have you in the group
