[Kaylee]

Hey, I'm Kaylee and this is my second year doing the Goodreads challenge. I always have a good on me and that's what I do in my spare time.

[Laura]

hi--i'm lurk. i am so excited to find this group because i love fun challenges that push me outside my lazy lazy zone. i split my time between mississippi (winter) and wisconsin (summer). wherever i am, i sleep with 5 cats. on weekends i add my husband to the mix, but he works in boston during the week. theoretically, that should mean more reading time...but squirrel! last year i faltered a bit with reading. not gonna happen this year. nope. can't wait to start a challenge or two.

[Laura]

I'm Laura - I read The Book of Strange New Things on my own and found this group while looking for a place to talk about it. I am somewhat addicted to Goodreads.:) I live in Michigan, have two teen-age children, a husband and a full-time job. The older I get, the more I realize the importance of taking time to just sit quietly, disconnect from technology, and read a book - a real book, no e-reader for me (yet). I have been a reader since I was a child - I thank my parents for that gift.

[Cassandra]

Welcome, everyone!

Laura, feel free to jump in our discussion and share your thoughts.

[Isabella]

Hi! I am Bella and I'm a bit of bookworm! I've joined goodreads for a week and I'm loving it :)

[Angelina]

Hi, I'm Angelina. I'm 20 years old! Looking to expand my reading list, welcome to any suggestions!

[Barbara]

Hi, I'm Barbara - only discovered Goodreads fairly recently so this is the first year I have set myself a reading challenge. Looking forward to seeing how I get on ... I like a wide variety of genres , but tend to steer clear of Horror and Chick Lit.

[Kara]

Welcome, all! It's great to see so many new members. If you all have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out!

[Melissa]

I am Melissa, I have a 10 year old and I love to read. Im trying to open my mind and read things I would never usually choose.

[Kara]

Melissa, that's one thing I love about this group. We have such a divers membership list, so I'm being exposed to all kinds of books I never would've picked up on my own. For example, last year we read The Rosie Project. Never in a million years would I have picked this up (especially with such a lovey cover), and I completely adored it and have recommended it to so many people since.

[Jay]

Hi all, I'm Jay. I am kind of new to Goodreads although I joined quite a while back. Last year was not a great year for me in reading books but looking to dive into books as much as I can this year. My goal is to read ~50 books this year.

[Kristine]

Hi everyone. My name is Kristine. I'm from Ontario, but I'm moving to Alberta soon. I love to read and will pretty much give any book a chance. I'm hoping to read 2 books a month this year.

[Jennifer]

Hello all, my name is Jennifer. I phase always loved to read but have been distracted the past few years by a busy life to read to the extent that I would like. IThis year I have decided to make the time to do what I love to do--read more! I look forward to interacting with everyone.

[Leona]

Hello all. My nme is Leona and I live in Minnesota. I was raised in West Texas (Monahans). I love to read and I do book reviews also.

[[deleted user]]

Hello everyone! My name's Adele and I'm from the UK. I'm completely addicted to reading and I aim to read 60 books this year! (I'm currently reading 'City of Heavenly Fire' by Cassandra Clare which is book 7/60) :)

Wow, Minnesota has to be as different from Monahans as you can get. I'm from Lubbock and I can't imagine living where there are so many trees although I would like to try ( but somewhere much warmer).

[Natalie]

Hi, I am Natalie, I work fulltime and run my own children's clothing business. I absolutely love reading!! Will give anything a try, but I really love French books and anything to do with Historical Fiction.

[mussolet]

Welcome new members! I hope you have fun sharing books with us. Remember, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Natalie, do you have time for reading? You sound so busy, and Historical Fiction is usually a lot longer than other genres!

[Kimberly]

Hey I am 28 and have 3 daughters ages 7, 3 and 2 (the fun ages). I love a good chick-lit but will pretty much read anything that sounds interesting. I am trying to get back into reading on a regular basis.

[Lauren]

Hi everyone! My name is Lauren Rosenbaum, I am really excited to be involved in this reading challenge group!

[Zara's Retreat]

Welcome to the group everyone. It's great to have you join us. This is a really great group. We have lots of fun challenges to choose from and have lots of fun talking with each other over our love of books.

Once again welcome.

[Traci]

Hello!! I am new to this group. My kids say that I have enough books to start a town library. I just started a book club in the small bedroom community where I live. I look forward to discussing books with all of you. :)

[Päivi]

Hi,
I am Päivi from Finland, a wannabe bookworm who would love to read more than what is actually timewise possibIe. I have a lot of unread books in my shelves, and once again my goal is to finnish quite a many of them. Maybe some challenges would help me and get me on the right track.

[Heidi]

Hi! My name is Heidi and this is my first time joining a group. I love to read, and love to explore new books, so I'm excited to participate in reading the common books here! My goal this year is 70 books this year!

[nicole]

Hi! I'm Nicole. This is my first online book group! I'm excited to be a part of a reading community:) I set my goal at 30 books this year. Good luck to everyone on their goals.

[Jennifer]

Hi, I'm Jennifer and I began using Goodreads about an year ago. I read just about anything, but my favourites are YA and fantasy genres. I try to read when I can and am really excited about making my own reading challenges. Just wanted to thank the mods in advance for creating this group!

[Zara's Retreat]

Welcome, Traci, Päivi, Heidi, Nicole & Jennifer. It's great to have you all with us. It is our pleasure to have created this group Jennifer. We hop you all enjoy your time with us.

[Sivasubramanian]

Hello everyone ... i m shiv ....i just joined the group but i aleady love it am looking forward to exceed my own expectations.....

[Nwanneka]

Hello Everyone, my name is Nwanneka. I stumbled upon Goodreads based on a conversation some of my friends on FB were having. I had no idea such a community existed! I was an avid reader and then life pulled me away from joy and I am determined to get back to my passion. So here I am!! Happy Reading everyone!

[Anna]

Hi, I'm Anna. I'm 16 (almost 17) and from Norway. I mostly read everything, but I'm not that fond of horror. I might try more one day... I was looking to join a group, and then I stumbled upon this one. It seems really nice, and I'll try to join some challenges :)

[Bella]

Hi,
I'm a stay at home mom of three. I homeschool two and the oldest- who's sixteen- just started college. I, like millions of people, am an unpublished writer. I just finished writing my first book last November. However, I swear that I'm here as a reader. (If this is too spammy, please spank my hand and tell me to delete it.)

I read all genres, except erotica. My GR challenge goal for 2015 is 400 books. So far, I've read 45. Due to life being crazy and taking time to write, I only read 339 books last year. I think that's the least I've read in my whole life, unless you count the years I couldn't read.

I'm looking forward to discussing books and finding new books to read. Mount TBR can never get high enough, right?

[Cindy]

Hi! My name is Cindy. I love to read, mostly fiction, but I have a hard time saying no to an interesting biography/autobiography/memoir. My yearly average is around 115 books. I plan on reading 120 this year. I'm old fashioned and I prefer to read a book that I hold in my hand, but I do own an e-reader & I keep it in my purse so that I am never without something to read. I'm looking forward to participating in some of the challenges. :)

[Diana]

Hi there! New to the group (obviously right ;)) and hoping to take part in the 52 book 2015 Reading Challenge. Haven't used Goodreads before so still finding my way around :)

[Morpho]

Hello, I am Andrea, young woman, mother to an eight year old. Love Art, Crafts, Sewing, and reading, and this year I am ready to join a Book Club!

[Ariel]

Hi, I'm Ariel. I'm 26, I've had my GoodReads account for awhile but finally got around to using it for more than quote-hunting. I'm a student, a painter, and a book nerd. Very happy I stumbled on this group, it looks wonderful.

I read a bit of everything but I've been in a classic fic deluge for seemingly forever. So I'm really up for recs and reading people's reviews on their challenge books. :)

[Rose]

Hello, readers! My name is Rose and I was very involved with challenges on PaperBack Swap (although I wasn't into swapping). I want to continue pursuing the challenges--I love how they expand my reading horizons, but I can't continue on PaperBack without paying a fee. (I would do this, but, as I said, I'm not into the swapping--only reading their forums.)

Anyway, I've been meaning to join Goodreads for a few years, but I never could figure out the method of entry (I have done my share of commenting, however). So I'm in with you all. Thanks.

[Shay]

Hello! I'm Shay, 32, from Hilliard, OH. I belong to a local book club here in the city, but I'm always looking to expand my horizons and try out different kinds of genres. I love my sci-fi/fantasy/adventure, but I've been enjoying just about anything and everything as of late. Nice to meet everyone! :)

[Lara]

Hi :) I'm Lara from Grahamstown, South Africa. I'm an Accounts Manager and own a photography business on the side. I love reading, but have found myself doing less and less of it due to stress and time constraints, but am hoping to change that this year :D

[Cassandra]

Welcome to the group, everyone! Take a look around and jump right in to whatever sounds interesting. :)

[[deleted user]]

Hi! My name is Rosa, I'm thirtyish and from Austria. My favorite genres are (urban) fantasy, some scifi, old fashioned crime... And I love zombies! I'm not really a fan of thriller, chick lit, paranormal romance, hardcore fantasy, history settings and I absolutely loathe elves and fairy courts and the like. 

I'm here because I love reading challenges!

[Bernhard]

Hallo! I'm Bernhard and in my early 20s. I live in Austria. Last year I manly read secondary literature for my subjects of study, so for this year I set my self a goal to read 50 books (at least), that aren't related to the subjects. I'm not very picky about the genre and happily explore new ones.
Currently I'm reading the third Kate Brannigan volume, by Val McDermid, and next I'll tackle the second Sandman Slim or The Silver Linings Playbook.

[Barbara]

Hello I'm Barbara . I'm from Poland and love reading :)

[Tanesha]

Hello! I'm Tanesha, I'm 28 and a mommy of 3. I have been slacking with reading and I'm getting back into it. I'm a fan of scifi,fantasy, adventure, and a sucker for a good romance novel. My starting goal for 2015 will be 25 books. I've already read 3 so far so I'm at a good start. I'm glad that I'm finally joining a book club :).

[Carrie]

Hi! Just joined the group. This is my first goodreads group! Love goodreads and of course love to read!
