Hi Everyone!!!
I'm, like all the rest in this corner, a new member of goodreads! I haven't really made much of a mark yet... but I'm hoping to dedicate more of my time to my books once I get the chance. I really like the atmosphere that you've created here. It's fun!
I'm looking forward to future discussions and am planning on conquering some of the books on the group's shelves.
Yay! Take care everyone

Hey everyone! I just stumbled across the Summer Reading Challenge and it sounds like fun.. Does anyone know how it works? Can we start it now?

[Sharon]

Hi Jen! I just learned yesterday that Ithaca is not a small foreign country on the other side of the world!

[Katie]

I'm not new to goodreads, but I am new to this group. Looks like loads of fun.

I'm also really interested in the Summer Challenge, but nervous to join this late after the start.

Welcome Emily and Katie.

[Jen]

Sharon! Hahaha no, it is not. But it might as well be it's own foreign country in upstate New York. Have you ever been there? lol

[Sharon]

I took a train through NY once to get to the port to board an ocean liner to sail to Southhampton England.
Did I go past Ithaca and see it out the train window??????
lol

Hey, I am a newbie, too. Just found the Summer Challenge yesterday & am going crazy trying to fill up my list. Suggestions for the best way to start?

I went through the list and figured out which tasks could be fulfilled by books I already own. If there were certain lists or bookshelves that had to be taken into consideration, I checked those out to see what I had or had already been wanting to read.

Hi there Michelle, Ingrid, Sally, Heather and Suesaroo! Big *waves* to you all :-)

[Bedtime Booknerd]

Hi PETRA X...

[Lori, Super Mod]

Wow, look at all these newbies cramming into just one little newbie thread!

Welcome all you ladies!!!!!!
I was wondering how this thread had so many posts to it so suddenly :)

[Julie]

Hi...New to the group! I've just gotten into "Goodreads" over the last week and love it! What is the Summer Reading Challenge?

[Lori, Super Mod]

Julie, welcome.
Check out the thread folders, you will see one that says Cynthias challenges...
They are reading challenges broken into the seasons...

[Sharon]

Again, good mornign to All!
Hmm Lori, you spotted it when you said "Welcome all you ladies" - so I scrolled up to the top and it just says "Newbies" - yet I guess we are all girls here! That's kind of intetesting, I think!
Maybe I could sart a guestion - then we all answer and also ask a question - so we can get to know each other better.
My question: What animals do you own, or share your home with?
I have two wonderful black lab dogs. Recently I noticed that we are sharing our home with two beautiful swallow birds who are making their mud nest up on our top porch. I watched them build their nest each day, bringing in mud and straw,grass. The mom and dad both work and both sit on the eggs. The nest must be with eggs now, cause they are taking turns sitting there for long periods of time.
OK, now answer the question and pose another question, if you wish.
Love and hug! Sharon

Oh, wow!! So many comments, how exciting! Well, I haven't been online for a while, I went to Santa Fe for the weekend. It was wonderful, the museums there are fabulous and very reflective of local art. Hi Sharon, Michelle, Katie and everyone else. Hope to talk to you real soon. Keep the comments coming!

My favorite books are almost all classics. I love Fyodor Dostoevsky novels because I think he has great insight into the workings of the human psyche. But there are contemporary novels that I enjoy as well. How about you?

I enjoy mostly contemporary fiction, though there are some classics that I loved.

Emily, I read Bros Karamazov, but have three of four other novels by him sitting on my shelves waiting patiently to be read. I was really impressed with his style.
