I'm Megan, I'm from across the water from Seattle. I've been following LTT/LTR since the fake lesbian days. My drink of choice is a blue moon or a malbec depending on my mood. I'm excited for this group!

You *may* recognize me if you see me out sometime if I happen to be sporting my old "I'm a LTT girl" shirt! :-)

Nice to see another PNW person up in here.
Megan: My boyfriend and I visited Seattle last March and we fell in love with the city! You're so lucky to live there! So sad I didn't know you before, I would have loved some tips from a local :)
Tiffany, I love J'aime Les Crepes. That's our go to fast food on night we don't want to cook. Dany,
I'm glad you liked the area. I lived in Phoenix for a year after school but PNW is home. :)

awwww an oldie follower! Have we ever talked? stalking your page now so I can see if I remember....
Hi all, I'm Cara. I'm 30 (eek!), married for nine years, no kids, am a Cardiac ICU nurse and live in Albuquerque, NM (it's not as bad as you've heard). I was so excited to hear about the Boozy Book Club! It's combining two of my favorite things! I was an LTT fan for years and have followed That's Normal from the beginning. I love to read and like YA but need some smut in there sometimes too. I'm normally a wino (pretty much any red), but decided this is the summer of cocktails so my husband and I are trying out a new cocktail every week (this week was the vodka mojito). If anyone has any yummy cocktail suggestions, please share!
Bekah, I probably commented twice on LTT. I was a total lurker. (Level death-con style) I'm trying to work on that now.
I'm Mary Beth. I'm from Michigan. I was been a total lurker for 3 years, til Darcy made me post for the first time. I have never belonged to a book club. I'm a wine or 7 and 7 drinker, but have a goal of becoming a Scotch drinker this year. I also have a pair of Crocs that I ONLY wear to work in the yard.
Mod
:)
@beth I can't figure out how to quote from my iPad app.... But anyways, my Bella is Isabella too. We were looking for a name to go with Lynn... My late fil middle name and I thought "Isabella Lynn" sounded so pretty.... Little did I know it was going to be as huge as it turned out to be!!! Otherwise we would have prob called her Izzie lol
Hey, I'm Sadie. 31 with 2 adorable girls. I LOVED LTT and posted a few times. I'm loving TN. I'm living in Grass Valley, CA and loving my move (still new after just a year from Salt Lake City, UT). I want to love Wine, but I spoiled myself at a young age doing stupid drinking. So, instead Disarono & Tea or pretty much anything with Vodka. I love to read and am so excited that you gals set this up.
I do not wear crocs! But I am a crazy lurker. Win some, lose some.
Hi, I'm Jenny, longtime LTT/LTR lurker, big fan of TN. I'm an avid reader and just finished Shadowfever yesterday. OMG. I jumped into the series after reading the obsessive post about it on TN. What a crazy, random, awesome series!I'm originally from Chicago (Go Sox!) but I live in the Milwaukee area with my husband and our two kids. I'm work as a writer for a university.
For my 40th birthday, two friends of mine gave me a life size Jacob cut out from New Moon. I had to open it in front of 50 of our friend and neighbors, most of whom did not know I was obsessed with Twilight.
And that's me!
Mod
Jenny, come talk about it with us on the Fever board!
I am Janet or Jane, which ever you prefer. I am @janetrigs on the Twitter. I'm a contracts lawyer outside of Washington, DC in VA. I love books! LOVED Divergent series so far, Loved the Uglies series, the Hunger Games series, and the first 2 books for the Maze Runner series. I HATE everything, esp Nikki and Alzheimer's Disease
PS I have a pair of crocs that I wear and I had sandaly crocs before that I wore and always got compliments on. And I don't care! Sue me.No, really, sue me, it would make life interesting.
Forgot my drink of choice! I love Spotted Cow beer, white wine, and pina coladas.
So hello im Desiree totally late to the party I guess. I am new to goodreads and this os my first book club. I read a lot probably ro much. I am from upstate ny herkimer to be exact. I read a lot of fantasy romance. Cant wait ro join you ladies on the next book or this one of I have a chance to read it before end of month. Feel free to add me as a friend.
soory forgot drink of choice I like a codka feuit punch or mud slide have not found that one wine to call my favorite yet
Oh my drink of choice would currently be a caramel ribbon crunch frap from Starbucks because alcohol rui
Let me continue. Alcohol ruined me on my bday last year!!!
Hi!I'm Jill, a stay at home mom living in Chicagoland with 2 kiddos that are my biggest accomplishment to date. I'd tell you my age, but it's not as important as my true inner age which is more like a screaming 14 year old fan girl. With that being said, I always thought I'd make a brilliant voice over in an animated feature film, so if you know anyone over at Pixar or DreamWorks go ahead and let them know I'm available for that kind of thing.
Confession time: Long time listener, first time caller. I've been a silent follower of LTT/LTR and That's Normal. I enjoy reading nearly as much as I enjoy booze.
Let's get this party started!

so glad you're a part!!!
Hi everyone! I'm Kathryn (LTT/R and TN commenter TheColdWoman) from Michigan and new to Goodreads thanks to That's Normal. I'm a poor library user so I can't get Written in Red in time but I'll try for book two. (Some ridiculousness about not transferring books that are new. Psh.) Super excited about more TN book recs - I've already read a few of them and have plans on more. I love books and movies and books turned into movies although the books are pretty much always better. I'm about to read Siege and Storm in about 5 minutes when my lunch break starts. Oh and my drink of choice is Moscato or Dr. Pepper. :)

Keep meaning to check.. is there such a thing as a library for ebooks? I think the Philly library might have one... ? is that possible?
Keep meaning to check.. is there such a thing as a library for ebooks? I think the Philly library might have one... ? is that possible? Very possible. I live in Milwaukee, and our county library system allows card holders to check out e-books. I haven't gotten that desperate/broke/brave enough to try it, but I understand you get an e-book for 3 weeks, like real books, and then have to return it or renew it. Check with your local library system.

Sorry... had a death in the family and am woefully behind on email. This is like #265 out of eleventy thousand.
And I'll be around, inserting my opinion about things I know nothing about. Per usz.

I downloaded the Overdrive app onto my phone and you "check out" the ebooks through them or Kindle. I read The Spectacular Now through the Kindle app but my librarian recommended I use OD instead because you can return the book right through the app rather than going to Amazon.com to return the Kindle version. My library is in a co-op with about 20 others for eBooks so there's a wider variety but one drawback is there are only so many digital copies available so I am on the waiting list for three books; one book I am the 64th person waiting. Plus sometimes there just isn't an eBook in the system as is the case of Written in Red. You can get audiobooks through the OD app too. Hope that helps!
Helloooooooo, Name- Carrie

Oh crap thought I was filling out my questionnaire for Tiger Beat Magazine.
I like to read A LOT! I started young with some very diverse reading materials. People magazine, encyclopedias, and Sweet Pickles books. This might be the reasons I'm so goo at trivia.
I've been telling people for years that I'm in an online book club (you get weird looks if you tell ppl u meet on a Robert Pattinson fan blog) and now it's finally true!!!!!
I might also like to drink a lot. JaneTrigs has taught me to never forget my pacer water. It's what professional drinkers do. :-D
Hi Team TN-I'm Helen a totally "normal" 32 yo Aussie who by day works with ears to check they are working properly (Audiologist), am studying to be an English Teacher in high schools (WHAT am I thinking!) answer to Mum by an 8 year old and 5 year old who I totally hope will grow up and meet Edward, Four, Jace or Will but definitely not Peeta (just by a cake from the shop, no need to marry a bakers son). I need to expand my love of literary husbands and have been flowing the TN blog from LTT days and LOVE IT and trust you with my Kindle decisions. So, bring it on!Words that I have learnt today what I should be working = Fourgasm...'nuff said
Sorry for the amount of fat thumb typos in my previous entry
Mod
Do people call you "Helly" because that is SUCH a great Aussie nickname.
Mod
yessssss
Mod
I'm Jamie, Blogger on TN, used to roam the internets as my alter ego Wonder Woman or Brooke (who occasionally pops back online, but now I'm just me.
Last year I read 56 books, or something crazy like that (it's crazy for me). This year, I kept my book goal to 40 because I'm the type of person who loses all sense of reality when I read. Doesn't help that I'm a slow reader either. Needless to say, if I disappear from the internet for a few days, I'm usually in the midst of a good book series, or a really bad one. I usually have to finish a series when I start (AHEM, FALLEN).
I read a good amount of YA, but after loving the Fever Series when I read it back in 2011, I have taken to reading more Urban Fantasy - or at least trying to.
Exciting to have a real online book club happening as opposed to the fake one that I used to tell people that I did to explain all my online friends.
WOOT.
Mod
I'm not ..."
HOTT with two TTs? You must really think it! xo
Hey Beth,Yep, I've been Helly since I can remember! I just realised I introduced myself as Helen-that's what my mum calls me when I'm in trouble! Don't call me that! Just Helly
Mod
I have computer issues. Need to get a new one ASAP...perhaps before our Hangout...hmm.

I love doing Chocolate cake shots, but my go-to drinks usually involve Vodka. What can I say? I'm part Russian.

Et voila: http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink2833....
This tastes just like a bite of chocolate cake (with a boozy kick). I promise.
Mod
I hope you do chocolate cake shots during the discussion tonight. HA
Yay! More books for my leaning tower of To Be ReadI'm Lynette, an osteopath and an Australian by birth and nature who's been living in England for far too long than is good for her.
Known to the odd one or two on Twitter and LTT as Sister Penguin (or Sissy P when a couple are downed).
Drink of choice is margharita (shaken, not slush puppy style) and I use way too many parentheses (this is true).
Looking forward to commenting but sadly can't join in on this school night. I have read the book though
