[Helen]

Welcome new members.

[Readingcureall]

Newbie here, I am an avid reader I am pretty eclectic in my tastes and styles. Due to my need for thriftiness as much as interests. :) I have just finished a few books I really enjoyed. Love letters by Geraldine Solon, Chasing Amanda by Melissa Foster, and The last letter by Kathleen Shoop. All very good. I am pretty busy over the next week but hoping to find some quiet me reading time. I am a homeschooling mom to 4 kids. Things can get a bit hectic.

[Lisa]

Hello everyone, I'm Lisa, I live in FL, mother of 5, new grandmother, about to turn 44 on Sunday, LOL, & been married to a wonderful man for 20 years tomorrow.

I am indeed a bookaholic, but I have not yet found a 12 step program for this disease, LOL. Not sure I'd pass even if there was one :)

I am a multi-genre reader. I enjoy a lot of historical fiction, paranormal adventure/romance, I read biographies that pique my interest, latest one was on Cherie Blair, the book was given to me by my MIL, who's British, LOL, so I read it. I also love fantasy, some of my favorites were Piers Anthony, Robert Jordan, Morgan Llewellyn, Anne Rice, Alice Borchardt, & Anne Bishop. I collect occult/Pagan/Wiccan/comparative religion books. Some of my favorite girlhood books were the Black Stallion series, Black Beauty, The Secret Garden, Little Women, the Nancy Drew mysteries (yes, I will admit to that)the Big Red series, Bambi the BOOK, LOL.

Thank you for the invitation, I think I'm going to fit in well here :)

[Meg]

I'm new to the group too, love sharing what I've read. Love love love historical mysteries, historicals of all genres actually - Morgan Llewellyn! yes!! Judith Merkle Riley's medieval series, and I once read HALF of a huge book on a plane - The Sunne in Splendor - about Richard the III, it was that good, I was totally lost in those fabulous details. Sharon Kay Penman was the author. Love Charles Todd's series with Ian Rutledge. Also love contemps, and a fabulously fun read is Nearly Departed in Deadwood by Ann Charles. Am reading the next one, Optical Delusions, and howling. :-D

I am close to finishing up the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning, that's been a really lighthearted paranormal romp, the library just called to say they are holding book 5 for me, YEAH!!! That's a fun read if you like that sort of book. I like classics too, forgot to mention. I've hacked my way through every book Hemingway has ever written :) Some I've loved, some I'll be honest, I've hated.

[Meg]

I love a lighthearted paranormal too - have you read Julie Kenner's demon-hunting soccer mom series? Those are great fun.

I like classics - Shakespeare, Hemingway, Dickens, one of Hawthorne's, The Scarlet Letter - his others are snoozers - Dumas, Hugo, etc. Been a while since I read those. Prefer mystery now. So many books, so little time...

[Angie]

Hi everyone! I just joined GR and kinda still confused XD.. Anyway, just like all of you here, I'm a bookaholic too, have been since I was 5. And I think I don't have any favorite genre, as long as it's a goodread for me, I'll read it.

[Maggie Mae]

Hi there!My name is Maggie, and I'm from Portugal.
So I'm a bookaholic and a really fast reader.
Anyway, I like a lot of different genres, so I think this group will be a nice place to get some ideias in what to read. And share some good books to.
I have the feeling, that this will be fun.

[stormhawk]

Hi Maggie, welcome!

Do you read mainly in English or Portuguese?

What books are popular there ... is it American best sellers in translation, or local authors?

Hi stormhawk!
I read as much in english as I read in portuguese, it depends of my mood and of course depends of the books I find in either language.
Here I thinks that American best sellers sells better than our litterature, I personally don't like portuguese writers as much as the english or american ones. But of course I like the classic portuguese literature, like Fernando Pessoa or Luís de Camões.
Sorry If I made any spelling mistake

[Nada]

Hey all. My name in Nada. I'm super excited about joining this group. Hope to get along.

[Csencsitz]

Hi everyone! My name is Christine and I'm an author from Orlando. I love reading fiction, especially the classics. Willa Cather is one of my favorite writers and I really admire Ayn Rand's storytelling abilities. Books are a huge part of my life, as is my writing. I had my first novel published this past January (http://www.tinyurl.com/August1899). I just started my summer holiday and I plan to use this free time to catch up on my reading! I can't wait!

Hi J.D.- wonderful to be apart of this great Group!!

[Cate (The Professional Fangirl)]

*waves to everyone*

I'm Cate, 22 from Los Angeles, CA. I studied Library and Information Science in college and needless to say, I love books. I have both physical books and ebooks, which I read on a Barnes & Noble nook+WiFi.

I am currently in a Borgias kick... actually, any historical/historical fiction book. So I'm open to suggestions. :)

[Jenny]

I'm a Brit living in Southern California, an author and avid reader, always on the lookout for a new book. Mostly I buy from recommendation, but a stellar back cover blurb has won me over a number of times. Pleased to meet everyone here.

[Nora aka Diva]

Hi, I'm Nora.
I love to read and read a wide variety of genre's.
Suprisingly though with as much as I read I am still a horrible speller... lol

[Helen]

Hi Catrina, I read a good Borgia novel, I think it was the Borgia Bride.

[Kimberly]

Hi, my name is Kimberly and I am a 7th grade English Teacher.
I began my book blog as a hobby, but it has become much more than that! I am currently working on about 20 review requests (and always open to accepting more!) I also try to have at least two giveaways per month. Any authors who are interested in having me read and review their book on my blog should definitely get a hold of me! My review policy is listed on my blog!

Hi Helen! :) Yep, thanks. I recently purchased that. It's about Sancia of Aragon, right? I can't wait to get to it.

Hello to everyone!

[Jenn]

I'm Jenn, I just got an invite to this group from JD so I came over to check it out. I read a little bit of everything but my preferred genres are Paranormal and Historical Romance, Young Adult and Fantasy. That said regardless of the genre, a good book is a good book and I'm not going to pass it over just because it doesn't fit the average genre I read.

[Lambert]

Hey if it's good,read it.That's what I say,...so more power to you Jenn

[Naomi]

Hi Everyone...I am Naomi and like Jenn I received an invite from J.D. and will really read almost anything I can get my hands on! I also see a ton of my GR friends on here!

[Patti]

I'm Patti from Australia :)Love GR!

[Treece]

Hello, I'm Patrice. I'm a big fan of sci-fi, vampire, dark & urban fantasy and paranormal fiction.

I also enjoy reading non-fic books about travel, history, social/human relationships/self-improvement, cooking and metaphysical/philosophy/occult stuff.

Thanks for the group invite, J.D!

[J.D.]

Welcome everyone! :) I'm glad you all decided to join. Let me know if you need anything. :)

[wayne]

hello, I'm wayne, I love fantasy novels and fiction.

[Poppy]

Hello everyone, I just invited myself in, hope no-one minds. :)

My book shelves are over-full with a variety of things - fantasy, young adult, romance, mystery, history, and non-fiction, mostly, with a sprinkling of literature and scifi for flavor.

I don't read much horror - I get nightmares pretty easily, so that's pretty much out. Urban fantasy is about as close as I get, but I'm pretty picky - vampires are supposed to be scary, not whiny and misunderstood and heroines absolutely have to be able to get themselves out of trouble instead of waiting around for help.

[Sylvain]

Hello Everyone, I'm a new member. I enjoy reading books from a variety of different genres. I learnt of your group through the poll for your July read - lots of interesting choices on that list.

All the best everyone and thanks for creating this group.

[Kristin]

Hello. I just joined. I will read pretty much anything. I love books. I'd eat books if I could.

Hello Freckleface79. Your line about eating books had me spewing my coffee... in a good way.
Best,
SR

I thought that was pretty funny. I don't know if I would eat them... then I couldn't read them anymore! I would love to be able to do that thing that KyleXY did when he would take a book, flip through it incredibly fast, and have read everything it contained... That would be GREAT!

Welcome Everyone! :)

[Elizabeth]

great name Freckle face 79! Welcome and have fun

[Dianne]

Hi, I'm Dianne. With so many book clubs to join, I thought I'd choose the one that covers just about everything! Looking forward to meeting you all.

[Melissa]

Hi. I'm an author and I love to chat with readers. I found this book group as a referral from a reader (thank you!).

I write women's fiction, but my books are cross genre - Megan's Way is literary fiction/women's fiction and Chasing Amanda is suspense/mystery/women's fiction.

Megan's Way and Chasing Amanda have both been nominated for Global eBook Awards for 2011 (Winners TBD later this summer), although both books are also paperbacks.

Megan's Way just won the Best Beach Book Award (2011) and also was a Finalist, 2010 Next Generation Indie Book Awards.

I'm also thrilled that Megan's Way is currently being adapted to film. Casting is taking place this summer.

You can read about my books here on Goodreads, Amazon, or of course, my website.

I'm also the founder of The Women's Nest, and hope to make new friends here in Book Haven!

XO,

Melissa

I was going to comment yesterday and wasn't allowed to :( Anyways... I know what you mean. I keep thinking of this movie I saw when I was a kid, where Kim Basinger was an alien. All she had to do, was stick her arm inside a book and she could absorb the story. I would love to do that. I can never seem to read fast enough.

[Amy]

Hi I recently joined myself. I will read anything. ANYTHING!~ :)

[Dannye]

Hi! My name is Dannye Williamsen. I read across all genres, and I can't say that I have a favorite as a reader. As a writer, I have two novels that are paranormal suspense and a number of nonfiction books in the field of spiritual psychology.

I've read a WHOLE LOT MORE books than I have listed here on Goodreds. I can't remember all I've read in the years past, and I give them away before I remember to list them here. I guess I need to work on that! :-D

[Kerri]

Hi to all the newbies!

[Dannye]

Thanks! I'll try not to be, Carroll.

[Dianne]

Hi, I'm Dianne and I just joined. I like to read just about anything. My favorite things to read are romances and things from the past. I loved reading the Twilight Saga. I love reading real books but I also have a Nook color. Either way besides my family reading is my favorite passtime.
