Hi Taylor, Hope you manage to get into that private school! :)

Taylor wrote: "I do to!
BTW, you did a really great job creating this group. I made one, but its really hard to keep up with everything...
"

Thank you! I know it is hard. Everyday I have between 60 and 120 emails from people responding in the discussions. I love it though. I'm always proud when people respond more. Sometimes it's hard to think of new discussions to put up though...I actually bought a notebook to keep a list of ideas in. :)

[J.D.]

Taylor wrote: "Yeah. Mines only like 28 people, so I don't get as many E-Mails. I also added 2 more mods, so that makes it a bit easier."

LOL Thats probably a good idea...If you go to the "promotional folder" at the very bottom of my discussion list, you can promote your group...

[J.D.]

Taylor wrote: "Cool! Thanks! Were can we post our own ideas and/or suggestions?"

There is a "suggestion" folder. Otherwise, if your discussion topic falls into one of the other folders you can put it there. If you're confused post it in the "general" folder, and I'll move it to the correct folder for you. :)

No problem. :) BTW you have a very interesting name, I've never heard it before...

Both! LOL

[Angelc]

Hey Angelc! :)

[Anne]

Hi! This looked like a great group to join! I like to read urban fantasy, mystery, paranormal romance, horror, sci-fi, and even the occasional trashy romance. LOL! I'm addicted to GoodReads. I think it's such a great way to find new books and authors!

Hello Angelc and Anne

I totally agree about Happy Endings! It is almost a must-have for me. I don't want to get lost in a book for the realism! LOL! I guess that's why I love fantasy so much. I figure if I'm going to suspend disbelief, why not go all the way?!

Thanks for joining Anne! I know what you mean about being addicted to Goodreads! It is my favorite site! :)

[Angelc]

I gotta say I'm addicted to goodreads too!

[Unapologetic_Bookaholic]

I love GR and spend WAY too much time here. Welcome all. This is a wonderful group.

[Jesika]

hola ! im jesika =) i love love love to read and i also love to be on goodreads all the time. haha =) my favorite type of books to read are about vampires. i don't really get my facination with them, and neither does anyone else i know, but i can't help loving them ! my favorite vampire series is definetly the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead. =)

[Unapologetic_Bookaholic]

Welcome Jesika. I never leave =D.

[Jaimey]

I'm Jaimey and my book addiction comes from my mother. She's the only other member of my family who reads for pleasure. Unless you count the fact that two of my brothers enjoy reading dictionaries and encyclopedias...

I have books everywhere in my house. My children have nearly as many books as I do.

I read most genres but prefer romance, specifically the less steamy ones. I like a dose of realism with my "fantasy" but with actual fantasy books, I like total fantasy, like The Lord of the Rings or Tara K. Harper's Wolfwalker series.

[J.D.]

Hi Jesika & Jaimey!

LOL Everyone is welcome to join. I'm glad you did!

[Andrew]

Well, my wife finally talked me into being more active on Goodreads...
I'm Andrew. I enjoy reading, but prefer audiobooks. I'm a fan of Science fiction & Fantasy. I'm not a fan of mystery, and I hate romance with a "passion". haha get it?

Hi honey! Love how you mention me in your first post on here. LOL As if being on Goodreads is something to complain about! :P hahaha...

[new_user]

LOL, Andrew. Nice. A lot of SF and Fantasy fans around here. Maybe you'll get some good recommendations. Joy, good lookin' out, LOL. ;)

Good to see you have a sense of humor!

[Elvia]

Hello everyone! I am an avid reader, mostly of urban fantasy but if I can find something that catches my eye I'll read it (hopefully you all can broaden my horizons!).
I'm a 30 yr old married mother of three kids and I work full time so you'd think I'd be too busy to read. Yet somehow I can finish a book in a couple of days if it's really good.
I'm a "borrower" from the library and my ON HOLD list there is VERY LONG. So is my CHECKED OUT list (told my librarian I'm cutting myself off from the website for awhile).
Hope to get to know you all better!

[Anne]

Good to see you here, Elvia! Watch out, because Joy is the one who introduced me to Historical Romances. LOL! I just finished Lord of Scoundrels. Go ahead. You can laugh.

Hi Elvia! :) I'm glad you joined! :) Do your librarians know you by name? Mine certainly do. LOL I have to bring an extra large bag just to carry all the books home. hehehe

[stormhawk]

Hi, my name is Stormhawk and I'm a book-a-holic.

I'm actually in danger of being crushed by books if I walk to close to the piles, so I've gotten a Kindle. Kindle books don't pile up quite the same way!

I read almost anything, the exception being romances, and yes, I HAVE TRIED. Just can't stand them. I can read the manly equivalent (hairy chested men's adventure novels) which have about the same level of quality of writing, and I really enjoy those, but just can't like a romance.

My preferences run toward science fiction, thrillers, mysteries, horror, and sometimes weird and quirky books like those written by Tom Robbins.

Some other favorite authors are Andrew Vachss, Harlan Ellison, Robert Heinlein, and Stephen King.

[J.D.]

Hi Stormhawk!
Thanks for joining.
Some people were just not made to enjoy romances...it's good that you seem to like most of the other genres. :)

[Elena]

Hi everbody! My name is Elena and I am in NJ. I am always reading something. I can read anything except modern romance or books about wars. I really don't have a "favorite" genre. I enjoy a classic as much as a fantasy, or a fiction book (that is why I am in so many groups!) I read an average of two books a week, and I love GR.

[J.D.]

Welcome Elena! I'm not too keen on books about wars either, and the only way I will read a modern romance is if it's a paranormal romance. LOL So, I can completely relate! :)

[Ramya]

Hi,
I am Ramya and new to Goodreads. I am passionate about reading. I try to read different genres. But fiction always wins the heart!!

[Jackie]

Hi everyone,
I've been a member of GR since last year and I belong to several groups. This group appealed to me because it's not based on one genre. I love that since I'm not exclusive either. I tend to read everything I can get my hands on, however, I seem to have a mental block when it comes to non-fiction.

[J.D.]

Hi Ramya & Jackie! :)

Hope you both enjoy the group! :)

[BK]

Hello all new people! I love this group, and so will you. We have very entertaining conversations here, about numerous things. :) (<-- That's my innocent smile.)

[J.D.]

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been sending out invites for others to join this group! It's growing quickly, and we have almost reached 150 people! :) The more people in the group, the better the discussions are. :)

Thanks Everyone! :)

[Kristina]

Hello! I'm new here! I recently found out about this website and by looking around found this group. I've had to refrain from buying books b/c I still several at home I need to read. So that's what I'm working on.

[J.D.]

Welcome Kristina!
:) Glad you joined. I have a serious problem with buying books, even though I have an entire bookcase filled with books I need to read. LOL It's an addiction. :( The library helps though...
Hopefully, you'll find some books to tempt you...:)

[Nathaniel]

Hello!
I'm one of those people who can go from Don DeLillo to Star Trek to Ian Rankin to Steven Erikson to Carly Phillips.

[J.D.]

Hi Nathaniel! Don't worry we're all pretty well rounded in this group. I am sure you'll fit right in! :)

[Nathaniel]

Joy
There's always the first time. (Kidding!!)

[Angela]

Hi! I'm Angie and joined goodreads a few months ago when a friend recommended it. I tend to enjoy reading many types of books. I love books about the paranormal, mystery, thrillers, horror & suspense, ghosts, etc...

Nice to see you here! Goodreads is such a great way to find new books! I'm addicted to it myself.

[J.D.]

Hi Angela! Isn't it great to have friends who recommend sites like Goodreads? My best friend recommended it to me in the end of December so that's how I discovered it too! :)

[Vikki]

Hi I'm new to the group. Just looking for a place to share my love of reading and get good recommendations on future reads.
