Hi everyone! My name is Jaymie. I just recently found out about the groups on Goodreads and this one looked like lots of fun! I'm currently in college and I love to read classics, mystery, adventure, fantasy, historical fiction, historical non-fiction, YA and biographies. So basically anything and everything! I'm super behind on my challenge, but better late than never. :)

Candace,

Have you read "The Chronicles of Nick" by Sherrilyn Kenyon? She has several different series, but this is a good one.

[Hanna]

Hello my name is Hanna :)

[Paul]

Hi all - I'm Paul, 24 years old and this is the first group that I've joined on Goodreads! Last year I set myself a challenge of reading 52 books - only one per week, not too tough - but failed miserably and only got about halfway. This year I've set the same target and so far I'm on track.

For the most part, I like to read classic fiction and history/non-fiction. I have a degree in International Politics and Military History so alot of my reading falls roughly into this category.

Looking forward to chatting with you and hopefully getting some inspiration for future reading!

[Tiffani]

Hello, I am Tiffani and I am 15. I have currently read 20 books so far this year. I will list them in my discussion after this. Glad to be here.

[Audra]

Hey y'all! My name is Audra, and I'm from the U.S.! My current reading goal for this year is 30 books, and I just finished my 15th book of the goal. I read a lot during the summer, when I'm not in school, so I apologize in advance if I disappear a bit during the school year (October - June). I enjoy reading books that don't pertain to my major, which is Community Health Ed, or Public Health as it is more widely known. I also like a random array of books, and I recently have discovered a love for mystery and thrilling books.

[Amy (Other Amy)]

Hello, all. I'm Amy and I am from the U.S. I am new to Goodreads and joined both to keep track of my to-read list and to get back in the habit of reading for pleasure. (I read a lot for work.) I am going for 52 books this year.

Welcome all - I am not the mod, but just saying Welcome!

[Nicole]

Hey all, I'm Nicole. I have been a member of goodreads for ages but I have only discovered groups (They are so cool!). I am 24 and I love reading, so much so that it affects my social life :(

[katie]

Hi folks, I'm Katie. I am a 30-something in San Francisco with a bit of a book obsession. I was that kid who always brought a book with me everywhere I went. I will read almost anything, favorites include classic literature, sci-fi/fantasy, nonfiction about super nerdy topics, memoirs, travel literature. I was behind on my reading for a while due to my previous job which entailed reading long, boring legal and policy documents, so in the past year I've really been enjoying getting back to reading for pleasure, plus a new commute that allows me to read. I'm a little behind on my reading challenge for 2015 than I would like to be, so I thought this awesome group would help me catch up. Thanks for running the group, mods!

Hey everyone, I just joined Goodread's a month or two ago and I have just started to become a bigger reader than before. My goal this year is to read 15 books and I hope that number will grow over the years. Recently I've been enjoying horror books, preferably Stephen King's, but I also like fiction, YA, and some fantasy and romance. I also have a few questions so if anyone is able to help please message me!!

[Daša]

Hi all! I didn't know that a supporting group to the Goodreads 2015 Reading Challenge does exist. That's why I am joining this late. My name is Dasa and I come from Slovakia. I actually work for the biggest internet bookseller in the world (I am surprised myself when I put it this way :) because my actual work has nothing to do with books. I am also blogger beginner at The Dream Chaser's Notebook. And I love to read books in English. For the Goodreads 2015 Reading Challenge I've resolved to read 35 books this year. I've already read 18. There's also my half-year reading summary post on my blog :) I am currently finishing The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet by Bernie Su and Kate Rorick - a book from my more relaxed summer reading list :) I am glad I find myself in this group of like-minded booklovers trying to reach their reading goals while enjoying the reading :)

[Albert]

Hi, I'm Albert! I will read basically anything, and right now I'm reading the Lord Peter Wimsey novels by Dorothy Sayers. My goal is to read 100 books this year however I'm 12 behind schedule. My three favorite books are: Slaugherhouse-Five, A Clockwork Orange and The Count of Monte Cristo. Feel free to send me a friend request!

[Irene]

I'm Irene, 25 and Danish. I'm studying to be a librarian.

[Jessica]

Hi Everyone,
My name is Jessica-- I am new to the group. I love to read when I find time for it! I am excited about being in this group!

[Amber]

Hello!
I'm Amber, I'm new to this group, and kinda new to goodreads too. I really love to read, but don't we all? It's so amazing to see what all you guys read! I'd like to make new friends, so if you want to send me a friend request, be my guest! :)

[Solistari]

Hello all :) I'm Sarah and after 5 years of studying, I can finally get back to reading for fun :D

I'm a big fantasy fan, and anything with magic in.
My favourite books recently have been the Magician's trilogy by Lev Grossman, and I'm a big Game of Thrones fan.

I've just started following some booky youtubers so hopefully I'll be finding some more books soon!

[Melody]

Hi all! :::waves hand obnoxiously:::I'm Melody and somewhat new to goodreads. I signed up years ago, but didn't stick to it.

Truth be told, I was the kid who hated to read and struggled through assigned literature in school. Because of that, books intimidated me. It wasn't until I was in my 30s that I made myself pick up a book for the sheer pleasure of it. I now yearn for the time to turn pages and get lost in a story.

(Oh and I'm still in my 30s although the clock is ticking....loudly.)

Life has gotten in the way of picking up books oh so many times. I'm on a mission to stick my nose in a book a 100 times more than checking social media. This is my first goodreads group and I look forward to the monthly challenges (and the yearly).

I just finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (loved it!) and now on to The Boston Girl by Anita Diamant. I often enjoy 'fluff' reads to just take my mind off life -- easy reads that don't demand too much of me. Reading is my way to unwind from storms - there have been several lately.

My sweet neighbor and I are hoping to start a book club (in real life) soon. I'm excited! I'm looking forward to being a part of this group!

[Amy]

Hi everyone! I'm Amy, my favorite books are Robinson Crusoe and Lord of the Flies. Favorite genres include; fantasy, dystopian, and of course classics! I'm also a huge TV Person, I enjoy watching Supernatural, Breaking Bad, Scandal, House of Cards, and a bunch more- which I'll not name because I'm afraid I'll bore you, haha.

[Jana]

Hi everyone! I'm Jana, 18 years old and I'm from Belgium. I really started reading when the last Harry Potter book came out. I then started reading a lot, every week I had a new book, unfortunatley I've been in what feels like an everlasting readingslump which I'm trying to get out of. Right now I'm reading Game of Thrones, which I love, but Red Queen and many other books are also on my TBR.

[Jerri]

I'm like Melody - new to Goodreads, joined a few years ago but never stuck with it! I was once a voracious reader but seems I let Netflix, FB, email, surfing the net sap up a lot of my time. I'm hoping that by participating in a challenge, it'll spur me on to spending more time between the pages! Because every time I do, I wonder why I'm not doing it more! I'm an editor and writer but haven't published anything in years. I'm looking forward to this!

[Cassandra]

Welcome to all of the new members! We're glad to have you and if you have any questions, feel free to ask. :)

[Yesenia]

Hey everyone! My name is Jesse and I am a newbie. I made a goodreads profile a few months ago and I have use it to keep track of the books I have read and to keep track of the books that I want to read. I set up a reading challenge in January to read 10 books this year and I have read 8 so far and I am currently on my 9th (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo). I have never joined a group and I thought that maybe it was time! Growing up I enjoyed to read and once I graduated high school I joined the Marine Corps and just stopped reading :(. One day I felt that it was time to start reading again because it was something that I enjoyed doing so much. So here I am now joining a group and reading my 9th book! YAY lol. So now I constantly go to Barnes and Noble and thrift stores in search of books...I kind of have an obsession lol. Hmmm, what else? I am 25, kind of awkward, somewhat funny, very caring and that is all I have for now :).

Welcome, all! It's great to have you here. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

[Kelly]

Hello, I'm Kelly. I just joined the group recently. I'm hoping to motivate myself to read more instead of getting swept up in the hustle and bustle of busy work days. I love reading classics, fiction, sci-fi, fantasy and autobiographies, but I will probably read just about anything!

[Langfordlibrarian]

What a diverse group! Hi, I'm Peggy, probably old enough to be everyone's mom at least, maybe even abuela! I've been motivating kids to read for 30 years, and think a new book is the best thing EVER! A reading Around the World in 50 Years at the moment, just finished Grandma Gatewood's Walk by Ben Montgomery. I'm a based-on-a-true story kind of girl. Looking forward to hearing what you're reading.

[Jessica]

Hi, I'm Jessica. I love to read,I have had a life long addiction to reading. At this point in my life I read most fiction. Mostly I switch between romances and suspense novels, with a sprinkling of science fiction, and YA books. Sometimes I manage a biography, or a historical non-fiction. Usually anything that looks slightly interesting gets added to my insanely long list of books to read.

[Jorie]

Hi guys, I'm Jorie and I am life long reader. Grad school has taken up much of my reading energy and I'm trying to get back into reading for enjoyment! I like romance, sci-fi, fantasy, and nonfiction especialy social/cultural history.
