Hello ladies! I'm trying to learn how to better use Goodreads so I thought I would join a couple groups and make some new friends!I have two children, ages 11 and 13. I work in an ortho clinic during the day, and by night I'm a writer!
I love to read, mostly historical romance novels or books about being a more godly wife/mom.
Hey y'all I'm a SAHM while my husband is at sea in Alaska braving the waters to bring me all the FISH YOU CAN IMAGINE! :) I'm always reading more than one book at a time. I have two on my Kindle ( Revisting The Shack) ( Godmother) and one actual hard cover on my night stand called What The land already knows.My favorite author is Jean M. Auel but I've read them all and I own them, however my reading genre varies. :)

Hello All!How to introduce myself... Well, i just turned 26, i am a wife to my childhood sweetheart and best friend(we met at church camp when we were 11! Lol), a stay at home mommy to two adorable little men (ages 4&2), a complete "book worm" (always have been!), and I love to write as well! I guess I just love a good story! I am learning to fall in love with the story God has written for me, as he has carried my family through some very rough times these past few years... hospitalized pregnancies, Seizures and then an autism diagnosis for my oldest son, my husbands unexpected diagnosis of late stage cancer, and then just a few weeks ago I was diagnosed with mono... Through it all, God has been so good and has really re-ignited my passion for His word and uplifting stories of faith! I'm so excited to be in a group with sisters in Christ that share the same passion for words and what they can inspire in all our walks through faith! Thanks for having me! :)

Good Afternoon, my name is Wynel Harris and I currently just published my first book entitled "You've Got Your Hands Full: A Mama's Manual." I infused all my experiences from being a Christian Mother. My main goal for writing this book was to inspire Moms live yourselves through God's word and to encourage women who are overwhelmed with responsibilities as a mother, wife and individual. Please check it out, it is on www.amazon.com. Just type in "You've Got Your Hands Full." However, I love to read books that help me out spiritually and help me recognize the strength in Jesus Christ. Right now I am waiting for the book "Instinct" from TD Jakes. I should receive it tomorrow and I am thinking I will be done with it no later than Friday.
Mod
It is very nice to meet you Wynel

Hello, my name is Laura. I'm a SAHM of 3. I have two girls ages 6 and 10 and a son age 8. I try to instill a love for books and God in their lives. We've recently moved from Indiana to Kentucky. All of my kids are in school now. I get a little lonely during the days when they are at school and my husband is at work. So, after chores are done I usually get lost in a good book. I look forward to reading and chatting with you all.

Hello, My name is Rachel and I am a stay at home mom to a 4 year old, almost 3 year old and 7 month old. We love to read in our house it is something that my husband and I both grew up doing and are working hard to pass to our kids.
Good Evening:My name is Annie Fogel. Ihave been married for 21 years and we have 4 kids - 16, 14, 12, and 9, 2 boys and 2 girls. We live in NY and I have just published my first children's book - Journey to Faith - Through the Eyes of the Wise Men.
Rediscover the beauty, majesty, wonder and awe of Christmas from the perspective of the Wise Men. Readers will walk in their shoes to see what they saw, feel what they felt, hear what they heard and experience the encounter that changed their lives forever. They are also "dared" to believe, place their hope and trust in the living God, and to become like the Wise Men, seekers of truth.
This story is sure to bring the family together this Holy Night and ignite deep and thought provoking conversations. It is also a great tool for sharing the gospel in a nonthreatening way with friends and family, as God's love and his desire for relationship, not religion, permeates from every page.
I hope you will enter the giveaway I have sponsored for your chance to win a free copy.
Blessings,
Annie

Hello, I'm Janine, and I'm a wife, a mother of five, an English teacher/school counselor, and a very soon-to-be-published author, I keep trying keep my priority relationship Christ.I cringe at the title of this book, but Respectable Sins: Confronting the Sins We Tolerate is an amazing read if you're looking to grow your relationship with Christ. I read it last summer and will do so again this summer. I appreciate its convictions.
More about me . . . I like cats, and we have two golden retrievers to help make our two cats' lives interesting. My school year is coming to a close.
Big struggle here: I'm technologically challenged (my thorn in my side), but, by His grace, I'm teachable and am willing to take the time time to read & learn about how to do things like build a website, or be social on facebook. I'm so bad, I had to buy a book to figure out how to use facebook, and I'm still not to great at it. Just yesterday, I got a kindle, and I'm still trying to figure it out. (I'm getting better at all of this, you'll see as we get to know each other.)
As far as my writing goes, well, Starving Hearts
is God-honoring historical fiction/romance that reads like you're watching a movie. It's on a giveaway right now, if you're interested. (I'll put that under giveaways.)It's good to be here on goodreads. Although I'm fairly new at using it, I'm figuring it out. Looking forward to getting to know you.
Blessings,
Janine
Hi I'm a mum of three from Australia who enjoys reading and reviewing books!
Hi! My name is Sally and I live in Adelaide, South Australia. I have two kids - a 7 year old daughter and a 2 year old son. I love to read but lately have been re-discovering the joy of writing as well, which has kind of put reading a little on the backburner! I still squeeze a bit in here and there though. I'm enjoying Goodreads - it's great to find out about all the amazing books out there. Now I just need some more time to read them all... :-)

Hi!! My name is Jackie. I am 40 (ACK!), with 4 children (12-19) whom I homeschool. My oldest son was dx with autism when he was 3, but he is doing really well. My 17 year old son just got back from China where he spent 3 weeks on a missionary trip. He's hoping to go back in July. I also have a 14 year old son, and a 12 year old daughter. My daughter has a youtube channel where she translates Christian music into ASL praise. My favorite genre was fiction - and I still like fiction. This year, my plan is to read mostly Christian non-fictional, however. However, I read myself to sleep at night, so those with be Chr Fiction books for the most part.
Can't wait to get to know everyone!

Hi, I'm Tabitha. I have one son (10 months old) and am a stay-at-home mom. I love contemporary and historical fiction, poetry, and learning new things - so "educational" non-fiction (I suppose?). I love art of all types (especially theatre).
