Thanks Everyone for all of your welcomes...it makes me feel right at home...I am taking a break from reading Little House On The Prairie Books and now I am reading a series called BookTown Mysteries.
The current book that I am reading is
I love reading Cozy Mysteries and this is Book #2 in the BookTown Mystery Series. This is considered as Cozy Mysteries.
I got this book from my local library. Book #1 was already checked out.
Hi everyone!! I'm Emily from Ann Arbor, Michigan. I'm super excited to talk to other bookaholics! I'm currently reading Drums of Autumn, the fourth Outlander book and would love to chat up the series with other fans out there. :)

Tell us more about you, whereyou live and which books you read!
@Linda: probably you'd better say what you read in the specific thread https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
I did previously :-) I read most things although not a great fan of fantasy / horror / vampire / fairy related books unless they are in the classics genre.
And I'm from Manchester/ Lancashire area, UK. I'm on my phone so can't edit my previous comment in order to add this!
hello everyone! I have always enjoyed books for as long as I remember. I live in Texas and I look forward to reading suggestion and reviews from this group!!

Have you seen the show yet?
Hello everyone. I'm from Milwaukee Wisconsin and am big into Non-Fiction. I've been on an economics/finance kick lately. Michael Lewis / Steven King are probably two of my favorite authors. Cheers!
Hi JohnWelcome aboard....I do like some of Steven King Books but not all of them.
I love to read Cozy Mysteries mostly.

Yes, I've been keeping up with the show! Bummed that we have to wait until April for it to start up again, but I've been really impressed with how it is going. What do you think of it?

Hi everyone. I'm Tingyi from Melbourne, Australia. I've been really into science-fiction and history lately, but I'd read just about anything that catches my eyes.

Thank you Linda! It is really great to have a place away from everything where I can curl up with a good book. I just finished "Tell the Wolves I'm Home" it was a really fantastic read. My books are usually really eclectic. I dont have one style that I am partial to yet. :) i just love them all.

LauraT wrote: "Welcome Siewjye! Tell us something you like reading..."Thank LauraT! I like romance, comedy, war, science fantasy, scary n horror, memoir and some motivation books. I am so glad I joined All About Books because there are so many books recommendations, either from the challenge, events or seeing what members are reading. I try to find the books from my university library and sometimes I buy if it's not too costly.
Mod
But libraries are a good way out of it!
Have a look around here and see if you can find some books we are reading you'd like t comment!

Wow, so many new members! Welcome everyone!
Hello all. I'm E. I went down a rabbit hole from another group and discovered this one. I like to read thrillers, mysteries, horror, detective series, various "just good books" and I've been searching for something new to put on my shelf. Right now I'm finishing up Swan Song. It's a biggie.
Hi there - My Bookish friend Petra suggested this group to me, as it seems like I'll be needing a new Goodreads home soon. I'm a 53-year-old female, network technician, happiliy married, and live in Portland, Oregon. I love reading pretty much everything: Classics, non-fiction, speculative/science fiction, etc... When I'm not reading, I enjoy hiking and kayaking. I think that just about sums me up! Looking forward to finding a place to discuss books and discover new authors. Thanks for having me!
Oh hey GP. Join the refugees-or-something-like-that.Look! I'm going to be pestering you here as well.
Welcome, E and Miss GP!!! I'm glad you found your way here. There's lots of threads to poke through. Lots going on here.
