[Lindsay]

Hi Everyone!

I'm Lindsay and I'm from Portland, Oregon. I've been on Good Reads for a while but I'm just now really starting to use it. My plan is to read more in general, especially when on public transportation (instead of playing games on my phone!) and before bed.

I enjoy lots of books, but I tend more towards fiction and fantasy. My goal is 24 books this year but I'm fairly confident that I'm going to go past it. I am also trying to read more books by female authors, and more 'classics' as well.

Right now I'm reading White Teeth by Zadie Smith, Capital in the Twenty-First Century by Thomas Piketty and We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. Next up is O Pioneers by Willa Cather.

[Robert]

Hi I'm Rob, I love reading any book.

[Sarah c]

Hi I'm sarah I enjoy lots of book but tend to read crime thriller mystery books.

[Claire]

Welcome, Emilce, Lindsay, Rob, and Sarah! It's nice to have you here!

[Mrs]

Hi everyone! I'm Hayleigh from New Zealand. I am 25, married, no children and I am an English and Linguistics Major at Otago University. I am a budding writer and am getting stuck in with reading as many books as I possibly can! I have just finished reading The Luminaries and I got to meet Eleanor Catton a few months back and she sign my book (fan girl moment). Anyway, she is a huge inspiration to me and I plan on following her path to Victoria University to study a MA in Creative Writing after I finish my Honors Degree. I'm also a feminist so if anyone can recommend some awesome feminist books I'd love to read them :)

Hi, Hayleigh! Welcome to the group! I recently read an article where fan girls like us were pushing the industry to write more mainstream feminist characters. Yay for Fan Girls:)

Hi everyone! I'm Charlotte. I'm from the Netherlands and I'm a medical student. Currently reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, and enjoying Good Reads so far!

[Alisia]

Hello! My name is Alisia, I am a new mom and I just got back into reading after a very long dry spell. I love all genres and the way I accomplish reading so many books is by way of audiobooks! I usually listen to an audiobook during the day while tending to the baby/house chores and at night I read a print book. I try to challenge myself to at least 50 pages before bed.

[Alisia]

Hello! My name is Julie and I'm a high school student from Japan. But I go to school in the United States. Although I suck at English (especially writing), I love to read! I joined this group in order to widen my interest and make new friends who will motivate me to read even more! I love mystery and fiction books.

Julie We hosted a Japanese student this year. Hiroki could speak only some English when he landed in our small town. He returned to Japan last month.
Young adult books are a good way to improve your English. I could give you some more suggestions. But writing letters haing someone reafd your papers to check them, wull help your writing. I would like to help if possible. I have a couple college degrees and work at our elementary school in the library.

[Kathleen]

Hi my name is Kathleen. I joined the goodreads site on the recommendation of a friend last year. It has given me a lot of assistance in choosing new books to read and remembering old books that I have forgotten. :). For 2014, I decided to challenge myself to reading 10 books a month for the year. I am on track but finding it harder to keep motivated as the year goes on. So , I decided to join this group and I must say I am blown away by the amount that some people read. I find it extremely inspirational. If anyone has suggestions of books to read, I would love to hear them.

I am also a single mother of 1 beautiful girl and am proudly Canadian.

Hi to you all and thank you for letting me join your group! :)

[Claire]

Hello, Charlotte, Alisia, Julie, and Kathleen! It's nice to meet you all, and I hope you enjoy the group.

[Lisa]

hi all, my name is lisa and this is the first group on good reads I have joined :)
not sure how it works at all so please be patient, haha
love all kinds of genres although not a fan of true crime. To me reading is escaping from the day to day so I love a bit of myths and fantasy. although I will give anything a try.

[Cassandra]

Lisa, mostly this group is about you having fun and participating (or not participating) in whatever challenges, group reads, and buddy reads that you choose to. You can be as involved as you want, and if you haven any questions, don't hesitate to ask! We're glad to have you (and everyone else who has joined recently)!
