[John]

I thought I did this yesterday, but can't seem to find it ... if so I apologize. My name is John and I write stuff. I also read stuff, which is why I'm here. My biggest fault is commenting too much, so I'll try to keep that down. Nice meeting everyone. :)

[Dalia]

Hi Pat- I recently read the obituary of a man who spent many years collecting/recording oral stories in Appalachia - the recordings are all now at the Library of Congress in DC- I would start by searching their archives to find the writers who specialized in Appalachian history. Good luck!

[Elizabeth]

Hi Pat,
Although David Baldacci's book Wish You Well is fiction it includes many of the habits and customs of Applalachian type living.
It is different than any other of his books and I think you might find it charming. I think it would be available at the library too.
I loved it so much am going to read it again.

[DeAnna]

Hey! Love to read. Looking forward to some new ideas and books to read!

Welcome! What genre's do you enjoy reading?

[Barbara]

Hi Everyone! I'm Barbara and I'm hunkered down, surrounded by good books, waiting for spring. My “go-to” reads are horror and crime thrillers, but I’m always looking to expand my horizons (and TBR list). After a few months, I’m still a bit of a newbie to Goodreads. Love the site, groups and like-minded readers. Glad to find this group as well.

[DeAnna]

I love to read any and all genres. I do tend to pick horror, fantasy, thriller and historical fiction though when I'm visiting the library!

[Bella]

Hi everyone,

OK, I admit it. I’m a total, incurable book junky, who gets withdrawals if I don’t get my daily fix, and so it’s great to have found a group for people who share my addiction. I’ll read pretty much anything, from women’s fiction and young adult, to thrillers and paranormal. So long as it’s a great story and not too heavy-going (I read for pleasure, not self improvement) I’ll snap it up! Among my favourite authors are Penny Vincenzi, Philippa Gregory, James Patterson, Jessica Chambers, Cassandra Clare and J.K. Rowling. I can’t wait to start getting to know you all and chat books!

[Evie]

[Elizabeth]

Welcome all. I love Good Reads!!!!!!! Have fun

[Cheryl]

Right on, Elizabeth! Goodreads is a fantastic place to meet fellow book junkies and to also discover great new authors. Since I've been on here, I've been on a book buying tear that borders on obsessive! Welcome to everyone who has recently joined. You've come to the right place if you love books!

[Helen]

Me too Cheryl, I check someones book out and before I notice, I've bought it!

Welcome to the new members.

[J.D.]

Welcome Newbies! :)

[Chris]

Hi! I accidentally started two Goodreads accounts (don't ask me how that happened), so I'm joining up through this acct. now. I like YA and adult fiction, my favorite books being Coraline (big Neil Gaiman fan), The Collected Works of Edgar Allan Poe, and Jitterbug Perfume. Happy to be aboard!

[Helen]

Hi Chris

[Elizabeth]

Love Edgar Allen Poe! Welcome

[Heidi]

Hello, glad to find another good group! I am an aspiring author and I perform book reviews to support my reading habit. I read a wide variety of books from sci-fi to urban fantasy from Thrillers to Historical romances. I even dabble in Non-fiction. I recently completed a book review on "To Believe or Not To Believe" By Rahasya Poe ( You can check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S23SKn... )

I just watched your video on youtube. Very interesting! I think it's a great service you're doing for book lovers!

Why Thank you, Roseann!!! I got tired of watching a lot of the reviewers on Youtube, because I have some ADD tendencies and when people just talk at you for five or more minutes... well, there is a reason monologues aren't big in films!! I thought the images make it more interesting and keeps the person's attention. It takes WAY longer, but I think it is worth it! Besides, I've found a bunch of people to give me free books for it, which feeds my addiction quite nicely!!! If you have a youtube account, you should friend me so it will tell you whenever I have a new upload (since they are not "regular". If not, it is really easy to create one. Or if you are on FB, you can friend me there. I always post them there as soon as I am done!!

[Kerri]

Hello, all! I'm Kerri and I'm new to Goodreads. I've been exploring the site and decided that joining a group seemed like a swell idea. Seeming as my taste in books is all over the place, I figured a group that catered to all the different genres would be a good idea, so here I am! Currently I'm on a classics kick, though I enjoy everything from fantasy to travel memoirs. I'm always open to suggestions, too! I like to try new things, so I'll pretty much read anything that someone recommends to me, haha.

Anyways! Hi again and happy to be here :)

[Helen]

Hi Amy.

[Rachel]

Just to say Hello everyone! And hope I'll enjoy GR like you all seem to. I'm very excited to be here!

[J.D.]

Warning: GR is addictive! lol I joined in 2009 and I am still addicted to it. It's a great way to keep track of all the books you want to read, but are unlikely to find the time for, because you list grows faster than you can read. lol

[Rachel]

LOL. Thanks for the warning, I already have too many addictions (books REALLY included). My want-to-read list is already so huge, I don't really know what I'd do if it grew anymore... but thanks anyway.
I liked the "swap book" thing but I don't have kindle or anything like it, and I live in Portugal, so I guess it won't be for me, right?

[Silverunicorn]

Hi my name is Gayle
I am 44 care taker of mom (82/cancer)and an avid reader (addicted)when I get the chance. I pretty much love them all, romance every now and again, mainly horror-zombies-true crime-ya and many other genres.
My read list is like forever and a day long,I love yard sales/rummage sales/discount stores the first place I run to is the books. Our library here dont do to many yrly salses they have books on sale all year and the prices for pbs are 3.99 and hbs 7.99 so they are a lil pricey

[[deleted user]]

Hello all.. I'm a horror book author and avid book reader. I own a Kindle and never leave home without it.

[Helen]

Hello and welcome.

[Junying]

Just want to say hi to everyone. My name is Junying, and I'm fairly new to GR so still trying to find my way around. Great site for readers and writers, and I look forward to getting to know some of you soon.

[James]

Hi, I'm Jimmy and I like Horror books...TNX

[Cory]

Hi, I'm Cory. I'm a bibliophile. I read anything. Ok, that's a lie I won't read romance. I don't have an e-reader because I can't flip through the pages and smell my book. (Among other reasons.) As long as you are open minded, feel free to chat me up about anything.

Currently reading A Canticle For Leibowitz and If on a Winter's Night a Traveler just showed up at the library so that's next. ;)

Cheers!

[Jennifer]

Hi, my name is Jenn, I live in Maine and have five children, including triplets. I love to read just about anything, and have a Nook. Would love to add friends on it. Thanks all

[Cory]

Jenn, where in Maine. I'm a Mainer (I pronounce my R's though ;) ) stuck in Florida these past 8 yrs. Moved from Kennebunkport.

[Gothica Noctua]

I'm Hannah. I'm 20 and I'm from Leeds, England.

In general, I love books that can make me laugh, and I often read humour novels that have sci-fi or fantasy settings. My favourite authors include Sir Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Robert Rankin and Sue Townsend.

I also love the theatre and read plays quite a lot - two of my favourite playwrights are William Shakespeare (no, seriously, I read his stuff for FUN!) and Tennessee Williams.

[J.D.]

Welcome Everyone! I hope you enjoy my group and let me know if you need anything or if you have any questions. :)

[Tabitha]

Hi Everyone! My name is Tabitha, I am new to Good Reads and can already feel the addiction begining. I have a NookColor which I have used but I am still reading from my collection of books. I have always been big on reading since I was probably about 10...I used to read the Fear Street books...haha. Now I am more into Chick Lit and Vampire stories but am really looking to get into different genres.

[Candice]

Hello everyone! I adore all kinds of books. Right now I'm on a biography kick, but I'm open to most anything :D

[Maritza]

Hi Everybody,
I love to read and have way too many books in my TBR pile! I have books everywhere in my house and I enjoy reading most genres. For a while now I've been mostly reading historical romances and PNR but recently I've gotten into a post-WWII fiction phase and more 'historical' fiction.

[Emma Lou]

Hi everyone! I'm Emma, 24 and from Essex (it's nothing like The Only Way Is Essex though!) I have always been obsessed with reading and will read pretty much anything. At the moment I am working my way through the True Blood series as a bit of light reading with various other books mixed in. Some of my favorite authors are John Green, Isabel Allende, David Mitchell among others!

[Gothica Noctua]

Hello to all the other newcomers!

[Emma Lou]

Thanks Hannah!
