[Eve]

I'm a bookaholic, my mum would like it if I got rid of some of my books (no way!). I like genres like science fiction, mystery, romance, historic and a couple others :) What I love the most though is old books, with yellow pages and the typical old paper smell!

Hello, I'm Samantha and i'm new to goodreads. I love to read and i find theirs nothing better then losing myself in a good book but unfortunately i'm not a speed reader. I enjoy most genres but Fantasy, Thriller and Mystery are my favourite. Looking forward to being a part of this group.

[Luke]

Merry Christmas everyone! I just recently joined this group in hopes of finding good books to add to me TBR list. My favorite genre is fantasy, with historical fiction a close second, but I'm up to reading anything so long as it looks interesting.

[stormhawk]

Welcome, Merry Christmas, and Happy Boxing Day to you, Aubrey!

I have been reading more fantasy than usual, lately. I really enjoyed The Crown Conspiracy and am working my way through A Game of Thrones and the rest of The Song of Fire and Ice.

[Marc]

Hell-O,
Dig reading books and writing them. Suppose everyone else here does, too. Have one pretentious novel under my belt, and I'm currently working on another (with 50% more pretentiousness). Favorite topics include; good books, fantasy, humor, poetry, (whatever the hell Cormac McCarthy is), philosophy [Camus, Hegel, Plato (and Play-Doh), Heidegger, etc], And SCIENCE! About to explore Thomas Bernhard (probably pretty much rotted to the core by now) and see where that takes me.

[Juliet]

Hello ,all dear book lovers . I`m Juliet and it`s nice to join you.

Hi my name is Christina and I LOVE books! Everything from non fiction to YA and chick lit and everything in between.

Hi, I really enjoy all types of books! But I really love coming of age novels. - Bert

[Erin E]

I just like to read - It keeps me "out of trouble" lol

[Samantha]

I am fairly new to good reads and just found this group. Glad to have other bookaholics to talk to!

[Erika]

Hi, glad to see so many book lovers like myself. I enjoy reading almost anything but I love historical fiction and mystery/thriller books. Happy New Year's Eve!

[Terri]

Hi, everyone!I just joined this group last night. It seems like a great place to discuss books. And finally I'll be around people that love to read as much as I do. My tastes include just about everything, as long as the story remains interested after the first few chapters.

[Leslie]

Nice to meet you all! I am an ex lit prof and writer with wide reading interests - thus my desire to join this group. I enjoy reading all kinds of novels, but particularly those that have inspired me at low points in my life. I'm currently completing my memoir THE READING LIST: LITERATURE, LOVE, AND BACK AGAIN (to be published in fall 2011). It's about an exhausted English professor who leaves her job in academia to return home to her parents, and tries to get closer to her retired father (who has his own crisis to deal with), by creating a reading list of important books for the two of them to discuss as a way to get closer to him and uncover the secret of what led to his crisis. More information about my book and the books I'm reading can be found at my blog www.the-reading-list.com

[Victoria-Lynn]

HI, I'm Victoria-Lynn but any short form of that is fine. I'm in my final year of high school and have been in a love affiar with books since the fourth grade and have been unable to put them done since, and let me tall you that has gotten me a phine call home from my teachers more than once. I'm a fan of all book genre's and my book tastes run all over the map, but I'm more interested in fiction at this point in my life. I hope to use this group as a way to discover new books and people.

[Bj]

Hi everyone! My name is BJ (Bobbie Jo), and I live near Pittsburgh, Pa with my dh Bobby, and sons Tyler who is 13, and Jacob who is 10. I have loved to read since I learned in first grade, and I have books stashed everywhere, so my in laws gave me a Kindle for Christmas. My fave genre is epic fantasy, but I also love paranormal books, historical fiction, and any non fiction books about the Tudors, especially Queen Elizabeth I. Looking forward to talking about books with everyone!

[Laura]

Hello all! Just joined GR and am finding my way around the site. I felt that joining a discussion group such as this one would be a great way to meet like-minded people and get feedback on great books.
Is this the place where I introduce myself and confess that I too am a bookaholic? lol

[Capability]

Hi - I am having a great time finding all of these kindred souls on GR - I read everything - Do cereal boxes count as a genre? I love all fiction, YA a fave, non-fiction food books are a new focus and love hearing about new books!

[Jessika]

Hi all! My name is Jessika, and I'm sorta-kinda new to GR. I love reading anything, so if you have any suggestions, make sure to tell me!

Hi, I have only recently joined facebook and found goodreads today. Its great to be able to connect with other crazy book lovers like myself. I do read just about everything except horror and nasty crime. My great loves are sci fi and historical novels. I always enjoy time shift books. The first one I read was D.du Maurier`s The Strand and many others have followed. Do send me book recommendations, please. Carolyn

[Shirley]

Hi. Just joined. I too am a bookaholic. I read lots of different genres, but my favourite is mystery and thrillers. I love historical mysteries, classic literature and am currently reading my way through some really good Canadian authors. I have a Kindle, which I love, but still read books too since I can't get a lot Canadian authors on Kindle. I love to discuss books and am currently reading Annabel by Kathleen Winter which was a Giller Prize finalist last year.

Hi Shirley. I have a question for you. I was wondering what you think about the Kindel, I'm in the market for an e-reader and I was looking at the Kindel but I just thought that I would ask what someone who has one thought of it.

[CharleeMoo]

Hello everyone! My name is Charlene, and I was surfing groups and just couldn't pass this one up, it looks fantastic and I can't wait to jump in.
I'm a bookaholic, love to read, most people who know me cringe when I even mention reading, so it's nice that there is a site that I can go to with people like me!

=)

[Leah]

I have been on Goodreads for quite a while but have recently joined some groups for discussion and this group caught my eye as a pleasant place to stop by. I love reading and discussing books. I also have a book blog...

I really love my Kindle. I have a hard cover on it so it feels like a book when you hold it. The battery lasts a long time too. I like the screen and find it soothing on the eyes. I also like the variety of books that are available in this format. And I can also read on my iphone if I so desire (great when waiting in a doctor's office).

[Beanie]

Hello, my name is Beanie. =]

I just joined goodreads over the weekend, & I have to say that I'm glad that I did! As a child, I always had my nose in some book or another, & often read from cover to back within a day. As I got older, I became busier & busier & eventually lost interest in books all together. Recently, I decided to give books a try again & rented some out from the local library this weekend.

I'd love to meet & interact with some new, interesting people! <3

[stormhawk]

Nice to meet you, Beanie!

[[deleted user]]

Hi, my name is Anne Whitfield.
I write historical women's fiction, plus the odd contemporary romance and short story.
Lovely to be here.

Thanks!

[Paula]

Hi Everyone,

I'm a librarian and I have joined Goodreads in the hopes of chronicling my thoughts on books I have read and also finding out what other people are reading and their impressions. I couldn't pass this group up! I enjoy many genres of fiction and also many nonfiction subjects. I can't wait to hear about everyone's book passions, and nose around their bookshelves (that sounds creepy but isn't).

[[deleted user]]

Thanks Beanie and Michelle!

Welcome Paula!

[David]

Hi everyone,
I have few friends that share my love of reading, so I am so glad I found this site. Can't wait to talk with others that share my same passion.

[Beanie]

Hello, David! Welcome. =]

[sonya]

i just published "Obsessive Trap" as a kindle book. (gothic fantasy. i think a GR author board would work.

[Ive]

Hi everyone! My name is Ive, 21 years old from the Philippines. I've been reading novels since I was 11 years old. I'm a fan of Harry Potter, Haruki Murakami, Neil Gaiman, John Irving and the classics!

[Kelly]

Hey there everyone. I'm pretty new to this website and I've never been part of a book club - online or in real life. What can I say? Name's Kelly and I'm a major bookworm/bibliophile. Nothing makes me happier than adding new books to my shelves, and there is no feeling quite like the one I get when I'm totally immersed in a book - it's utter bliss. My love for books started off with Enid Blyton's "Famous Five" and "Secret Seven". Right now, I'm at University studying for a Bachelor of Arts (honours) in English - my homework involves reading...a lot :D
My favourite books seem to be dystopic novels such as The Handmaid's Tale and 1984, but I love all kinds of novels.
Also - I'm addicted to Goodreads. Nice to meet you all!

[Arch]

Welcome new members.

[Ellen]

I've been on GR for awhile now and use it to help me find good books and track what I read - I've recently discovered the Groups aspect of the network and thought this was a great fit - I love to read everything. Looking forward to sharing thoughts about books!

[Kathy]

Hi, everyone! I'm Kathy and I am a complete bookworm geek and proud of it! I read a bit of everything, but I would have to say that horror is my favorite. But I also love classics, sci fi....and pretty much whatever crosses my path! I look forward to chatting w/ all of you! :)

[Tisa]

Hi All, my name is Tisa.

I have been an avid reader for as long as I can remember. I guess this is the time to admit that I am a bookaholic, and proud of it! Finally I have found a place where I can chat with people who love books as much as I do!
