Glad to be able to join read alongs, it'll be a nice change to discuss the book with other people. I'll join Dreaming Anastasia as I happen to have the book.
Nice to meet you all :o)

My name is Jeri and I live in North Carolina. Although, I do have summer homes in Solace, Braavos, the Black Forest and Oxford, among others. :) I like to read and dive into different worlds and stories. A good yarn, is a good yarn. That being said, I read a variety of genres. Such as the classics, fantasy, historical, horror, mystery/suspense, and a little sci-fi. I am not a fan of romance by itself. If it is historical romance, I may give it a try. I also enjoy some young adult novels as well.
My favorite book is Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Other favorites are the Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin, Dragonlance by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman, Deerskin by Robin McKinley, Cabal by Clive Barker, and Watchers by Dean Koontz. Besides these authors, other authors I really enjoy are Juliet Marillier, Rick Riordan, Phillipa Gregory, Laurell K Hamilton {Merry Gentry series}, Alice Borchardt, Charlaine Harris, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Morgan Llywelyn, and Carrie Ryan. My favorite poet is Percy Shelley-he has my heart.
I am fairly new to the workings of goodreads. So, please add me as a friend, if you would like. And recommend me a good book! :)
Hi, my name is Kristin. My favorite genre of books are cozy mysteries and fantasy.


I like making new friends from all over. I love reading, and I enjoy mostly everything. But I do have a special spot for romance, be it PNR, contemporary, YA or historical. Glad to join this group, seems amazing!


I'm Enn and I just registered at goodreads!xD I am 17 years old and it's been a while now that I look up at the goodreads reviews when I want a new book so I just joined!xD I am interested in every genre but I find myself addicted to YA books.(I am absolutely and 100% in love with Sarah Dessen's books xD )
By the way this seems like a really cool group :D

Hi, Lennie! You're welcome for the invite. It's great to have you here! :)

I'm totally new here, I've just joined this group so I thought it would be nice to say some words about myself before I post in every thread. :)
About me:
My name ist Martina, short Tina and I'm 26 from Vienna (Austria - no, that's not where the kangaroos are) and I'm not native, but nonetheless I'm also reading books in english or write here - so please, just ignore my many mistakes.
Beside working in an office I like to read (suprise, suprise) and write my own reviews and talk about the books I've read. And I love music, dogs and sport.
The books I like the most are:
Twiligt series, Mortal Instruments, Darkest Power Trilogy, Fever Series, The Host, and so on...
So I guess I'm a fantasie fan and like to read about love and romance - and yes - I'm totally a happy-ending addict... :)
Hi, Tina! Welcome to the group. I always love meeting another dog lover :)
Hope you have a great time here!
Hope you have a great time here!

I'm Natasha and I'm an eighteen year old reader, writer, gamer and blogger. I love reading most things Fantasy, as well as some Horror and Crime/Mystery.
I've been blogging since March, and have been reading for as long as I can remember. As for writing; I started working on improving my writing about six years ago and have been published in an anthology once since, at the start of this year.
I love Egyptian Mythology and it's one of the things I research in my free time. Of course, between college, a part-time job and writing, finding time to read and play video games is difficult, but I still manage. =)
Hi, Natasha! Welcome to the group and congrats on being published. Sounds like you're a busy girl. :D

Thanks! It's good to be here. :)
Busy is definitely the right word; often a bit busier than I'd like to be.

You're welcome, sweetie! Hope you have a great Labor Day! :)"
Thanks!!! You too!! :D

Needless to say I love reading, but I also love love love being around animals, especially cats, dogs and horses (in alphabetical order as I don't favor one over the other). Other things I love are travelling, spending time with my loves ones, a good cheesefondue and cycling, provided the weather is good.
