DILFFFFF
Hey All! I'm River originally from Southern California now displaced in some foreign country referred to as Washington. This place is full of trees and granola so I'm just hiding behind books and Netflix. Pretending to have my toes in the sand. I love all things Doctor Who and Firefly (Obviously I'm River with a daughter named Kaleigh {Kaylee}). I also have a son but his name isn't as interesting. My whole family is actually obsessed with Doctor Who.
My drink of choice is POM with Pellegrino and lime. Or if I'm really adventurous I'll go outside pick some fresh mint (we all have that in WA it grows like weeds) just do Pellegrino, sugar, mint and lime my version of a non-alcoholic mojito.

welcome! that drink sounds YUM
Hi,
I'm Christine- from sunny Sydney Australia. LTT made me laugh so much I had to be careful to go to the toilet before I read each entry...... And I am convinced that UC and Moon are in fact my bestie, Helen and my American alter egos- (but with better computer skills).
This is my first foray into the world of the blog (other than as a fan/stalker) and I'm pretty flippin EXCITED to have online access to such awesome gals.
My drink of choice is a crisp Aussie sav blanc, I think cats are hilarious and DO NOT CRITICIZE my baby name choice- or you will feel the wrath of a mother scorned......

Yay! Finally you're here Christine, good, where would my book obsessions be without you? I mean you totally let me think that Edward may be real and maybe I was in with a shot or that maybe Jace would run his lady fingers all over my post baby body....now just to find me a signature drink and give us a reason to plane hop and road trip and find the crazy excitement we neeeeeeeeeed!
'Snooorrrrrrrrtttttttt' Helly!! LOVE a good man/lady hand reference and a delusional happy place! Life is better with you.

Howdy from Texas, y'all! Hi, I'm Tracy, a 31 year old (almost 32... YIKES) SAHM of two, born & raised in West Texas, where the land is flat, the wind is constantly blowing, and you can experience every season in one day for a good part of the year. I found TN today, after someone in another book club posted the link for the defense of Sam Heughan as JAMMF post. Loved it, and I shall follow religiously now! I LOVE to read, and I always have. My fave series of all time is the Outlander series (on my millionth re-read, currently) and the Fever series, so I think I'll really enjoy this bookclub. I'll read just about anything, except non-fiction & biographies. My drink of choice is usually moscato or beer, preferably Leigenkugel's (sp?) LemonBerry Shandy or Ace Pear. I have an obsession with the TV show Friends, and I can quote that show like gangbusters. Really looking forward to this group!

Hey Tracy!!! So glad you found us. I was once a 31 year old SAHM of two. But now I am a 33 SAHM of two. I haven't changed all that much.
OH JAMMF is always bringing awesome people together. <3
Welcome Tracy!! Quoting friends is a skill one should be able to write on resumes when job hunting ;)
Mod
Other than the spectacular now and the ocean at the end of the lane? Which one? Which one?
Mod
Those are the only ones we are reading this month, Dany. Unless of course, you want to hop on the Outlander train and get your JAMMF fix. :)
I really shouldn't... So of course I will :) I'm reading three books at the moment but as soon as I finish one of them, I'll start with the Outlander series :)
I started Outlander this weekend. I am such a sucker for peer pressure.
Currently looking st outlander in my e cart on Barnes and noble.....

Good morning! My name is Shawna and I'm from Georgia. I stumbled over here from That's Normal after I found the JAMMF post a couple of weeks ago. I'm late to the party but plan on joining in ASAP. I read way to much,my husband bought me a kindle fire and it's permanently attached to my fingertips. It's so lovely to have 100's of books at my fingertips at any time. My only problem is keeping the thing charged. I have been known to read while charging and sitting in a most uncomfortable position for long periods because the cord is too short.
Hello!! My name is Christina and I'm unfortunately from Ohio. I'm 23 and have been out of college for a year and saving up to do my master's in Higher Ed Administration. I've loved to read my whole life and am currently on my third re-read of Outlander thanks to all the posts about the Starz series!! I have a large obsession with anything Wizard of Oz related and my collection grows with every Christmas and birthday since my family is full of enablers. I currently live with three sorority girls (I'm a Delta Zeta myself) which may seem scary but it's a vast improvement from the three fraternity guys that I lived with last year. Looking forward to reading and discussing with you all! My drink of choice is cheap beer, sad I know, but hey I'm a cheap drunk! ;-P
Hi, Christina! I have a master's in Higher Ed from Loyola U Chicago. It's so rare to "meet" someone with that same interest, and most of my friends from grad school have moved into different career fields. I'm currently a writer in advancement for a large university, but I worked in res life, admissions, career services until I took a career detour into the nonprofit sector. I'm so happy to be back working on a college campus. There's a specific energy about the academic culture that I just love. Let me know if you have questions about higher ed in IL or WI!
Hello, Christina and Shawna, welcome! And Shawna, I have the same problem(?) with my kindle. It just never leaves my side! :)

So JAMMF is a new Hanson song, right?
Glad we're on the same page.

It's kind of like UNF, but better.
Actually, when I see it or read it, I hear James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser. All of it. Because JAMMF's a mouthful.
Hi y'all! I'm Elizabeth from 'ol South Carolina. Greer to be more specific. 31 years old with a head strong daughter who loves to read, just like her Mom. ;) I enjoy a good cab or Pinot noir. Hubs is a chef so I get primo selections at wholesale. I'm lucky, I know.
Anyway, I found this group through Beth's post in defense of Sam being JAMMF. And if you can't tell Diana is my all time fav author.
I'm totally stoked to join the group. Can't wait to read and discuss with y'all!
Hello, Boozies! I'm Jenn. I live in WA state. I have four kids (hubs is freaking hot, what can I say?) - the kids have been put on this earth to teach us patience. I've been in school in the medical field. for.evv.eer. but should be done in 2015. Ubiquitously pie-fingered doesn't even begin to describe it.
I am a classically trained air-drummer, incurable book-sniffer, and drink of choice is more coffee than is good for a body.
I found you all through a twitter RT: Beth's epic tale of why we love Jamie Fraser. (killin' me, girlfran!) I have read all the Outlander books to date. I read everything but horror.
I look forward to talking books!

Cyndy, I'm old too. And also fond of tequila, chocolate and sleep. Especially sleep since I temporarily lost my mind and agreed to "try again" for another child and had one a year and half ago and I haven't slept since. Having children when you are old=bad idea just in case anyone was wondering. Plus you get to see this new alarming term on all your medical charts "AMA". I was horrified, especially since my heart continually tells me it's 2000. so how on earth could I be 40? lol
Mod
oh yes he is
Hi! I'm Kim from Texas. Married and have 5 boys. Yes, 5. So needless to say I read to escape this fun house of chaos. Just started Outlander a few weeks ago and I'm hooked! Ready to start #4.
Mod

err...maybe seven.
Hi I'm Stacey! Am a SAHM to 15&12yo boys & a 15mth old little girl (yes-I'm a little nuts)Live near Pittsburgh,PA and am a certified bookworm!I love to read just about anything, but am an avid Outlander fan (who's not??). This is my first time on anything like this, so please be gentle with me!! Am @eyemama on twitter, feel free to say hi!
Oh, and I'm not much of a drinker, but that's never stopped me from joining in on the fun :)

Also, bless. The thought of going back to diapers now makes me want to hork. SO. VERY. DONE.
I think we need to rework the definition of 'old' on here. Mine is looking at some gorgeous thing, going "Yowzers, hawt!" then immediately thinking of how long my jail sentence would be.
We are all young, lithe things – Carlisle and Jericho are OLD

Well, I'm regularly half-watching the front door for Chris Hansen when I'm watching TEEN WOLF. YMMV.

Are you a fellow 1980er? Marrying a younger man, I like your style.

I think you are gonna like it here. :-) Im on bk 3 of Outlander-Voyager- gah!! It's stealing my life... in a good way. Also, since you are here, I will be in London for 24 hours, alone, in late Oct., do you have a suggestion for a place to grab dinner by oneself on a budget?

Hello! I'm Molly. I'm a book club and goodreads newb, so please forgive in advance my general awkwardness and ignorance of the whole shebang.
When I was little I used to devour piles of books every summer break, but once in college I found I had little time for reading outside of a textbook. :(
But atm I'm on a hiatus from school, so I'm taking advantage of it while I can and reading everything I can get my grubby little hands on (most of which ends up being YA novels because I'm a whore for YA)
anyway....I'm 22, live in Kentucky near Fort Knox with my bf of two years ( whom I haven't seen pick up a single book since we've been together , THE HORROR)
and my drink of choice is usually pineapple vodka and orange juice, but lately I've been trying a lot of different (cheap) wines.
and sorry to be so disgustingly newbish, but I've looked and looked....what book are we reading now? there seems to be a million going on at once, do I just pick a book and jump in somewhere?
Hi and welcome!! I believe the official one is "night film" by marisha pessl (I'm reading thy one), but some of the girls are also reading the Outlander saga and the fever series.Have fun!
so many good choices! I need to hurry up and finish reading ink exchange then lol
