[Macala]

Hello,
I am Macala and I am in Oregon. I love all kinds of books. I read anything that grabs my attention. However, I would have to say that classics of any type are my favorite. I also am extremely fond of mysteries and fantasies. I am looking forward to joining in on all the conversations. I am so excited that I finished one of this months books tonight already. So, far it seems like this app is set up pretty visually impaired friendly which will help me out, but we'll have to see.

Good reading to all of you,
Macala

[Pink]

Welcome Macala, I'm glad you've joined us. I hope the app works for you. I have a couple of visually impaired friends on here that only listen to audiobooks, but they're able to use goodreads with no problems, though I don't know if they use the app or main website. Good luck and enjoy your reading :)

[Angel]

I'm already a group member here. Just checking in and welcoming all the newcomers. Welcome!

[Mark]

Thank you, Angel! - )

[Ayush]

Hello everyone!

I am Ayush. I live in California and I'm a junior in Fremont High School in Sunnyvale. I've always loved reading books, but I do not know much in the category of classics. So I felt it would be nice to join a group to read more classics.

Hi Ayush and welcome to the group. Glad you have decided to read some classics with us.

[Tom]

Hello all:
I'm Tom, I live in Michigan and have been an avid reader since a child. I have quite eclectic tastes and fluctuate between the classics to science fiction (I've dabbled a bit in fantasy, but surprisingly little), and thrillers, like james Rollins. I've also been carrying a writers bug for many years, I've had five stories published online, but now that I have retired I hope to scratch that itch much more. I thank you for having me. Of the classics I've read, I loved The Three Musketeers, Great Expectations and Crime And Punishment.
I see that you also delve into other areas as well, and that was the selling point for me to join your group. As I said, I am a reader, first and foremost. Genre is just another name for a book to read.

Hi, I'm Jane, I'm in the UK. I studied English at uni (but that was a few years ago), and though some of my friends now are keen readers, I really miss having lots of different people to talk books with! Looking forward to chatting with everyone here :)

[Clio]

Hi, I'm Clio and I just moved to Nashville, Tennessee. Currently I'm a stay-at-home mom and I love hiking, reading, cooking, and baking. My favorite book is All the King's Men by Robert Penn Warren. Lately I'm reading more nonfiction nature books and more modern lit (and also a million board books for my baby) but I love the classics and I'm looking forward to reading and discussing some great books here!

[Brina]

Welcome to the group Clio. This group helped me transition from only reading to my kids to reading classics and other books as well. I hope that you enjoy it here.

Welcome Clio, I'm glad you've joined us and hope we encourage you to read some more classics :)

[Michele]

I think I might have joined before, but lost a lot of stuff with computer problems.

I live in Lakewood, Ca and have always loved reading. Just recently got into buying some B & N leatherbound classics. The books are so beautiful! Love buying old books as well.

[[deleted user]]

I am not entirely certain if I introduced myself or if I just decided to sign up for this community and watch the posts. However, it's better to be safe than sorry, so I'll just nip right on in here and introduce myself formally.

My name is Tiffany, and I come from a town in Canada that nobody's ever heard of unless you are unlucky enough to live in the surrounding booney's near to it. I fell in love with the classics at a very young age, and am very well read with the English and French authors. I am currently reading through some Russian and German classics, but find that I return back to Dickens, Dumas, Flaubert, and other such writers.

I am really looking forward to being introduced to other writers and their work, and hope to include them onto my bookshelves.

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Welcome to the group Tiffany.

[Rosemarie]

Hi, Tiffany. I live in Toronto now, but grew up in a small town that no one has ever heard of called Rodney, in Ontario, population 1000. I wonder if I have heard of your town. I have travelled quite a bit in Canada.
Welcome to the group from one new member to another.

[Brina]

Welcome, Tiffany:-)

I haven't heard of Rodney. Though, I think it has something to do with the fact that I live on the other side of Ontario. I come from a town about 45 minutes from Peterborough. It's a nice area, but so boring!

Thank you and Katy for the welcome!

[Rosemarie]

Tiffany, Rodney is southwest of London. The scenery around Peterborough is pretty.

Hey Tiffany! So glad to see another friend here! Enjoy! 😊

[[deleted user]]

Hello Loretta! I am pleased to see you here. I definitely feel overwhelmed with the size of this group. I am just acquainting myself with the topics/discussion posts.

Rosemarie: I agree, the surrounding area of Peterborough is very pretty. From what I've seen (through google), Rodney looks very pretty as well.

Hello, Brina! It's nice to meet you.

Tiffany! Don't feel overwhelmed by the size of our group. Once you start participating on the different threads and join in on discussions about the books that we read, you'll wonder why you were overwhelmed in the first place! The added plus of our group is that everyone is very friendly. If you have any questions, you can count on me for help or you can ask any of our wonderful, knowledgeable moderators! 😊

[Tammy]

Hiya ClassicCatcher Uppers,

I'm Tammy from VA. I've always been a big reader. Seriously, I'll read a cereal box if there isn't anything else. Last year I decided to dig a little deeper into classic lit and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I'd gotten away from the classics for many years and burned myself out on thrillers, best sellers and mainstream junk. I found that the books I had to work on a little bit more, actually gave me the biggest thrill. I tend to like Modern Classics (let's say 1900 to 2000) so I'm probably more of a Hemingway/Faulkner kind of gal, as opposed to a Bronte sister kind of gal. Don't get me wrong, I love Jane Austen, and Dickens, and Hardy, but my sweet spot tends to be the modern lit. Oh...and I love listening to music.

Hi Tammy! Welcome to our classics group! Looks like your taste in books will be an added bonus because as you can see we read an array of different books each month! Enjoy and happy reading! 😊

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Welcome to the group Tammy -- and I love the ClassicCatcher Uppers nickname. So glad that you will be a part of us.
