Hi! New to the group, but excited to be here! Nothing like being surround by fellow book lovers...

[Tabitha]

Hi all. I'm a high school teacher, writer, reader, and avid napper. I'm joining this super late, I know - I hope that's okay! I've wanted to be a part of a book group but have never felt like I've had the time, but recently picked up The Rosie Project; I'm excited to have the chance to read at my own pace and have some fun conversations with people. Nice to meet you all.

[Zeba]

I am a Zeba! I basically joined this group because I was in a reading slum and now I need to catch up

Hello everyone! Looking forward to getting into some reading challenges with this group :-) I love seeing what everyone else is reading and getting to know people who love reading as much as I do. :-)

[Maja (majareads)]

Hi! :) I'm Maja, I'm 27 and I live in Croatia.. I recently joined my city library again after a long time, and I've been enjoying books more than ever! I discovered Murakami, who I feel in love with, and so now I'm trying to find books similiar to his.. My taste has really changed from what I used to like, so I'm reading as much as I can to discover more good authors.
Goodreads seemed like the perfect place! :) I'm glad I'm here!

[Charlotte]

Hi, my name is Charlotte and I'm from Mexico. I love reading and making friends :)

[Marcela]

Hi everyone I'm Marcela ~ I enjoy reading but don't read as much as I would like. I'm a wife and mother of 4 kids. Now that they are more independent I want start tackling my ever growing TBR pile. So to get myself motivated here I am joining the challenge & setting a goal!

[Brighid]

Hi, I'm Brighid. I'm trying to find more time to read in the little time my toddler daughter and infant son afford me. Right now most of my reading is done between midnight and 7am when I'm up with my son (if I can keep my eyes open). I love well written books, although I don't tend to read things that would be considered romance.

[Natalia]

Hey all I'm new to the group my names Natalia! Im 22 years old and a motherr of one! My personal challenge this year is 100 books, I wouldn't really consider it a challenge I'm already almost up to forty lol. I love the fantasy romance type books, but I read everything. My favorite autor is Julie Garwood and Karen Marie moning. The fever series I've read four times I'm obsessed haha. Black dagger brotherhood, vampire academy, house of the night, cassandra clare, nora roberts, etc... Anyone with book series that's similar that you think I should checkout feel free to suggest always open to new books. :)

[Brian]

[Booktastic]

Hi, I love to connect with fellow book junkies! I enjoy everything about books: book quotes, book reviews, old books, new books, pictures of books & bookshelves, the smell of old books, buying books, talking about books... I could go on! And because I know there are book lovers out there like me, I've created a book page on Facebook to display my literary finds. Come join me at www.facebook.com/booktasticfun

[Hazel]

Hello everyone! I'm Hazel, 22 yrs. old. Actually, this is the first time I've a joined a book club and I'm so excited! I wasn't really an active reader before due to my busy work schedule & just read book 1-2 times/yr or worst, none at all. I really love to read novels. And this year will be a change, I hope. I'm planning to read 30 or more books for 2014. I'm not specific to any types of genre as long as it's interesting. Btw, I love Paulo Coelho's works. I've read mostly his works. :)

[Hazel]

Okay, so I'll be Hazel@22 then. :D

[Jordan]

Hello, I just joined this group this week. I want to be in a book club, but there isn't one in my area. I just ordered this months book. Thank you for the nice welcome.

[Clare L]

Hi Everyone! My name is Clare and I am from Ottawa, ON. I love reading and would like to become a more active reader. This group seems fun and easy going. My goal is to read at least 20 books in 2014, and I look forward to participating in other reading challenges with the group.

[[deleted user]]

Hi! My name is Katie, and I thought it would be fun to join this club. Looking forward to reading with all of you!

[Anita]

Hi all! I'm Anita from NY. I love to read historical fiction, biographies, and romance novels. I'm really pretty out to anything, but those are my favorites! :)

[cazdoll]

Hi Catherine! Where in Ireland are you from? My father is from Kerry and my mother is from Cork.

[Aleta]

Hi there! :) I'm Aleta (don't judge lol, I had just noticed the Prince Valiant movie in the local store when choosing this username (and I did looove those graphic novels) :b) and I'm a student currently on sick leave. I'm finally at a point where I feel like my head has de-fuzzied enough for me to read, first time in years, so I have a lot of rading to catch up on lol :b
I thought I'd start slow with making myself read at least two books a month and joining a group here seems perfect for keeping track of it :)
You'll pretty much find me reading any kind of book except anything too dark or bloody lol :P I especially love reading the classics though :)

[Anita]

Hi everyone! I'm Anita from NY. I LOVE to read, am open to most books especially if friends or anyone raves about them, but mostly romance, historical fiction and biographies are my favorite. I have to put a 2014 challenge up on here. Will be modest and go for 50 but if I read more, that would be awesome! :)

[Megan]

Welcome to all the new members!

[Cassandra]

Welcome everyone! I look forward to seeing you all in challenges and group/buddy reads. :)

[Stărlit]

Hi!! ^_^ I'm Sam, new here :)

[Jodi]

Welcome everyone! I look forward to seeing what books you read. I hope to see you in some challenges.

[B.A.]

Hello all!

My name's Becky, 23, and there's nothing I love more than reading and writing. Okay, that's a bit of a fib as my family and pets come first, but only just!

Chick-lits, thrillers and stories based on true events are my favourite, but I'm willing to give anything a read.

Interesting little facts about myself: I'm not your stereotypical woman as I prefer rugby to shopping. I'm not so much of a romantic as I thought I was and the constant man in my life (apart from my dad) is Colin Firth. He's a fantastic actor who happens to have the most amazing brown eyes I could happily stare into all day. And I can happily say he's so much better in person as I was afforded the opportunity to meet him five years ago. I also love everything regency, mainly that of Jane Austen. If only there was a time portal and I could go back for one day...

I'm very much looking forward to my time on here and meeting new members of similar/opposite minds. Like Darcy said, "...to all this she must yet add something more substantial, in the improvement of her mind by extensive reading."

Sorry about the long intro, I just get carried away! :)

[Meleena]

Hey there! I'm Meleena, and I'm new to the group as well, although I never participate in stuff like this until today. I'm interested in romance, YA novels and I love the Lunar Chronicles.

[Kara]

Welcome, all!

And B.A., no need to apologize for the long intro! It's great getting to learn more about you.

[Shannon]

Hello my name is Shannon. i live in Vermont. recently engaged and just bought a house!!

[Kara]

Congratulations, Shannon, on both the engagement and the house!

Congrats!!!

[Sylvia]

Hi I'm Sylvia, I'm in advertising and I currently live down south in the US. I like pretty heady books most of the time but I add something light to the mix occasionally. I just finished something I read 'just for fun', a book called "Live Alone and Like It" written by Vogue editor Marjorie Hillis in 1936. She was so funny. I'm currently reading Shakespeare's Hamlet for the first time. Also reading The Plot Whisperer, a book about writing by Martha Alderson and a couple of other things you can see on my profile page.

So glad Goodreads has the challenge to keep me reading on schedule (I would read all the time if I could). Very excited about the books I'm currently reading and the ones in my "to read" list too.

[Vernice]

Hi! I'm Vernice and new to the group. I used to read CONSTANTLY until I started being able to afford other gadgets and since then my interests have spread far and wide. Reading has always been my first love though, and I feel that I need to get back to reading more than I do now. I also dabble in writing, so you're welcome to check my writing and give me some honest and constructive criticism here: https://www.goodreads.com/story/list/...

[Sam]

Hi, I'm Sam :) I'm on my 20th of my 75 books I plan to read this year.

[Ry]

I'm just a reader trying to expand my horizons. I'm going to school in fall but want to read as many books from as many different genres as I can before then. I hope to have some good discussions here in the meantime :)

[[deleted user]]

My name is Andria and I am 15 years old, I love to read a lot of young adult. Really only young adult. There is a lot of drama going on in my life and I am losing friends one by one. It sucks quite a lot so I go to books for my escape. I am in this group so I can hopefully make new friends, and meet new people who love to read as much as I do. :) <3

Hi everyone, I'm Renee and I'm new to the group. I love mysteries and police crime and legal thrillers. I am striving to read 35 books this year. So far I have read 5 books, so I really need to step it up. I am always looking for new authors to read. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello, Renee!
Reading that you like "mysteries and police crimes," I suggest , which I read in January. Good book!

I havent read these next books, but they are on my to-read shelf. Maybe you find them interesting. as well:
, ,
They are all true crime stories, which are fascinating to me.

Hope this helps or at least inspires!
