[Jessica]

Hey, my name's Jess.
I'm 20 and my goal is to read 50 books this year!
Have got through a load already and am excited about the group reads, especially reading stuff I might not of picked up on my own :)
I'm a fan of most genres but especially fantasy and have recently read some biographies!

[Shivani]

Hello,I have joined this group to be able to read different books and challenge myself to reading more.

[Lacy]

Hi all! My name is Lacy, and I am a 26 year old Navy wife and PR consultant. I am new to the group (just started today!) and I joined for a multitude of reasons. I was and English Lit major in college and with day-to-day life getting increasingly busy, reading has fallen by the weighside and I desperately want to get back into it, as reading/ writing is my passion. I also wanted to challenge myself and find some new treasures in the world of lit. I read any genre, seriously, any genre. Just excited to start and get my reading on! My goal this year is 25+

[Katie]

Hello all!!!! I am a new member as of Dec. 2013, I used to not track my reading before then, but this is definitely a good motivational idea to keep me reading!!! I have tracked some, but don't remember start-end dates. I hope some of you can become friends to keep up this motivation!! :). Read a lot!! :)

[Mariam]

Hello :) I'm Mariem and I'm 14, from England :)And I would really appreciate it if any of you could suggest some interesting books to me :) Have a goo day everyone. xx

[Vi]

Hi, I'm Vi, 26 years old. So, throughout my life I've read a few books, but I was never a 'reading all the time' kinda girl. That changed last year thanks to Divergent. I discovered the kind of books I like and started devouring books non stop.
I'm into YA, mostly dystopia & contemporary, but always opened to suggestion.
I'm really excited about joining this group and find more books to read!

[Susan]

Hello. I'm Susan, and am initially amazed at how many books some of you are able to get through.
I'm not the fastest of readers ad easily distracted. So thought I could start with a book a month.
Already downloaded Rosie, so off we go.......

[Tricia]

Hi everyone! :) I'm Tricia and I am a law student, so I don't have much time, but I love reading just like all of you. My goal for this year is about 25.

[Eliza]

Hey, I'm Lyzy. I'm studying to become a primary school teacher and I wish to create YouTube channel with a range of types of videos, including book reviews.

I just joined a few groups on GR today so I would say I'm pretty new. My goal is to read 50 books this year, which isn't too much when you look at it from that being one book a week. But considering I read very few books last year (less than 10, or even 5), it's a bit daunting to me but if I pull it off I'll be really happy with myself!

Happy reading!

[Mahrukh]

Hi,I am Mahrukh. I'm 19 and a book-addict. :)

[Libby]

Hello everyone! My name is Elizabeth. I am unemployed at the moment so I have plenty of time for reading. I am hoping to go back to school in the fall for writing. My reading goal this year is 26!

[Jodi]

Welcome everyone! Good luck with your reading goals. I hope to see you in challenges and buddy reads. Please ask if you have any questions.

[Jill Renee]

Hello everyone! my name is Jill & I live in Nashville. I've loved reading a variety of books ever since I was a little girl. I love all genres and am always interested in finding my next favorite book. My favorite day of the week is Saturday morning when I can cuddle up with a blanket, drink coffee & get lost in a book for hours. Excited for the challenge!

[Stephanie]

I just love Good Reads and the fact that I have somewhere to go and share with other bookworms!

[Autumn]

Hi! I'm Autumn. I am currently 15 books into my 100 book goal. My niches are Supernatural and Romance, but I do venture outside that box occasionally.

[Canadian Dragon]

Hi everyone I am Tasha, I am always learning and willing to try new things and stumbled on goodreads.

[Lissy]

Hey everyone! My names Lissy, and I'm from a small town. My two loves in life are music and literature! I love so many books, but if I've learned anything, I've learned that classics are the best. I'm excited to discuss books with everyone!

I like to read books from every genre too. I always find it hard to list my favorite genres because I don't like to limit myself. Some of my favorite books are ones that cross boundaries and draw from multiple genres. Welcome to the group!

Yay! I hope you enjoy the group. Welcome :]

Nice, and welcome! You are making great progress. I'm almost 12 into my 76 book goal, which is a lot for me. This is my first full year of being active on Goodreads and beginning with a goal, and it has really motivated me to read every day.

Welcome, Tasha! I hope you find some new books to read and discuss from the site and learn something new :]

I love classics too, much more so when reading with others to discuss it. We are excited to have you - welcome!

[Day]

Hello I'm Day! I'm glad I've finally found a place where I could share and talk with other book lovers! I read almost any genre of books but my favorites would be classics, fantasy, and fiction.

[Rochelle]

Hello Girls,

I am 25 years old. I live in Pretoria South Africa. I only discovered my reading passion about a year and a half ago, so I haven't always been a reader. I have been part of one other book club for the last year, but decided to join more groups for inspiration and to challenge myself more. I love good food, good wine and a good romance! I don't currently have a favourite author, I read anything and everything.

[Corné]

Hi everyone,i`m corné and i LOVE to read books. i even do it while in class :P. i`m a huge tolkien fan, and the percy jackson/heroes of olympus series. I hope to get some good books to read!

Hello all! I am Ben, I like to read as much as possible. I enjoy Lehane, Demille, Brown, mystery/crime/military type Novels. I work full time and I am also in school full time, so my reading time is limited, though I would rather read...Anyways, glad to be here.

[Ilse-mari]

Hello, I'm Ilse. Recently rediscovered my absolute love of reading (shortly after my husband gave me a Kindle for Christmas)! I already love the Goodreads community - everyone is really welcoming and friendly. Just finished my first book which I chose from a Goodreads group - Wonder. What a great read. Anyway, just thought I would say hi to you all :)

[Jessica]

Hello everyone, my name is Jessica. I'm fairly new to Goodreads and new to this book club. This is the first time I am participating in a challenge and I'm SUPER excited. I signed up for a 24 book challenge and am on my 3rd book with the 4th and 5th patiently waiting on my nightstand. I like to read a wide variety of books so I plan to read one book for me and one book recommended by this group each month. I LOVE reading reviews of books so I hope to make many friends from this book club. Happy reading everyone!!!

Hi Ilse-mari, I just finished Wonder myself. It's a very special book. What are you reading now? Just curious.

[Cait]

Hi everyone, my name is Cait. I've been a member of Goodreads for a couple of years now, but only just started joining groups and posting. I've been an avid reader since I was a toddler, it is something that will never change. :) I am originally from Vancouver, and now living in Quebec with my 3yo daughter, who is quickly becoming a reader herself! I set a big goal for myself, 100 books. Currently reading through some VC Andrews series, and always looking for new series to read!

[Alayna]

Hi Everyone! My name is Alayna. I've been using Goodreads for a long time but this is my first group. I've been in a bit of a reading funk lately. I can't choose what to read or I just can't get into anything so I'm hoping by joining this group and participating in the challenges I will be able to snap out of it :-)

[Rita]

Hi I'm Rita...I love to read of course. Just dropped out of a book club to start my own. Actually it's a book/movie club where we read the book first then see the movie (if there is one made from it). It's called Face2face Book and Movie Club (Cobb County) although anyone anywhere can join and participate through Facebook. Check us out if you want. Otherwise, I hope to check out this group on what's good etc.

[Deborah]

Hello! I'm Deborah. I have been really struggling to get much reading done lately, so I'm hoping this group will help me remedy that. I have two daughters who are 8- and 2-years old. I homeschool my 8-year old, so there's always something going on at home. I am reading mostly non-fiction at the moment, but I also enjoy fantasy and young adult books.

[Amanda]

Hi! I'm Mandy. I've been on and off Goodreads sine 2011, but I'm hoping to utilize it much more this year. I'm 27 and a 1st grade teacher (1st year and stressed). I like to read all kinda of books...I like to see what all is out there. Excited about being in this group!

[[deleted user]]

Hi
I joined to see if I could find some book friends to discuss books with, while at the same time having fun by playing along in some of the challenges. This sounds like a fun group.

[Jennifer]

Hi! I'm Jennifer and I just joined Goodreads about a month ago. I found that when I went to college I stopped reading as much for fun so now that I've graduated I want to get back into reading for fun (and I have a very long list of books that I want to read!)

My favourite types of books are sci-fi, fantasy and non-fiction about psychology and economics.

[Sabrina]

Hello!

So, I guess I haven't introduced myself yet, I always forget it, silly me! <.<

I'm Sabrina, 19, from Germany. I already participated last year, but got very sick and couldn't match my goal. But I've never been much of a quitter, so I'll just try it again :) I mostly read fantasy, sci-fi and mystery; the only exceptions are the YA novels written by Rainbow Rowell and the thrillers by Jan Costin Wagner.

[Bonnie]

Hi all! My name is Siobhan and I love to read and cannot wait to see if I can reach my personal challenge this year. I have already read the Rosie Project, so am happy about that! Good luck and see you around the boards.

Hi, I'm Joel! British, living in France, I love reading and read 200+ books a year. Although I have a preference for genre (SF/F/H) but I also like crime novels, thrillers, non fiction, slipstream, historical novels... Glad to be here!

[Leslie]

Hi everyone, I'm Leslie. I made a new year's resolution to be more goal-oriented and I started out by committing to read 20 books this year and going to the gym 3 days a week. Well, I broke my ankle last week so I'm focusing on the reading. I'm so excited to have found a website for people who love to read and I love seeing everyone's suggestions.

[[deleted user]]

Hi, I'm Samantha and my goal is to read at least 200 books this year. I may raise that goal depending on how I'm doing by July. I have loved reading since I was in elementary school. I also work in a public library as a cataloger and part of the social media team.

[Kaleena Rheeya]

Hi All!

My name is Kaleena. I currently live in Chicago with my husband, 1 year old daughter, and our three cats. I decided to join this group to keep myself accountable for the personal reading goal I set for this year. Being the lifelong learner that I am, I have found a reinvigorated passion for reading and hope to instill a similar passion in my daughter as she grows.

[Charlotte]

Hi my name is Charlotte and I live in Swansea, Wales. This question may have been answered already but can I include audiobooks in my reading challenge ? I love reading but also get through about 20 books a year by listening as I walk the dog,do housework etc .

[Rebecca]

Hi everyone. I'm Rebecca and I'm in Birmingham, UK. I've always been a reader and am really enjoying tracking what I read on here. My main reading passions are romances and mysteries - and I'm especially pleased when I can get both in the same book!

[Juliana]

Hi Rebecca and Hazel I am not far from you in Dudley but I must agree about your waterstones it's fantastic the staff are so helpfull too I have only managed the Merry Hill branch lately but it's not as good as your branch and there is a couple of assistants that can't be bothered. Just give me a bookshop and leave me there lol

[Kara]

Hazel's correct, Rebecca. Audiobooks definitely count. I enjoy them myself. :)

If Goodreads counts it as a book (that is, if Goodreads has it or could have it in its system) and YOU want to count it as a book, we're totally fine with it.

[[deleted user]]

I'm in for 101 books for 2014 with a mixture of books, ebooks, and audiobooks. I tend to mix things up between literary fiction, genre fiction, and non-fiction. I've been keeping track of all the books I've read long before Goodreads and the internet. I started in December 1990.

I'll probably reread the Kesey novel for March. It's a great book.

[Sushma]

Hello! 28 year old from good old Jersey. I set a goal of 52 books for this, averaging one a week I hope. Although with this crazy cold winter we're having, I hope to exceed that!

[Brianna]

HI everyone! My name is Brianna, I'm 21 and I will be graduating from college this spring with a degree in Library Science as well as writing. I love to read anything with a good storyline. If you have any suggestions as to what I could read next please don't hesitate to let me know! =)

[Myndi]

Hi, I'm Myndi! I'm a mother of four, including 3 year old triplets. I used to read about 100 books a year, but then...triplets. So, I'm doing my best to carve out time for myself...to READ! I mostly read fiction (like 99.9%), and have been on a long streak of reading YA/fantasy/paranormal/supernatural stuff. Have discovered a strong interest in historical fiction. Love literature. And I'm long-winded. ;)

[Elsbeth]
