1. The Giver by Lois Lowry.
2. Science fiction and horror.
3. I want to make connections with other people. I would value these connections because I don't know anyone in real life who enjoys reading for fun. I also want to add books to my bookshelf, I would love to learn about new books and genres I would never have thought much about before.
4. I made this group because I noticed that there were no active groups out there for people new to Goodreads.
5. I enjoy watching anime and enjoy listening to kpop. Here is my myanimelist profile (a site similar to Goodreads but for anime):http://myanimelist.net/profile/seal308
6. I watched a tv show called Big Brother over the summer. My friends make fun of that show, but it's a little secret of mine so don't tell anyone :)

Hi Jessica. In your intro you stated that you only used to read what was required. I always thought that people who write for fun must read a lot. Is this fallacious of me or did you start to write after you started reading for fun?
Do you believe a good writer needs to read a great deal?
I've always been more of a free writer. I do agree that you must read alot to be a decent writer, I wouldn't publish any of my stuff just yet but i do feel that reading more would help me write better.
1. The Secret Garden2. Sci-Fi, Fantasy. Historical Fiction
3. Friends, maybe? Definitely, new reads :)
4. I'm new to Goodreads and I have no idea where to start.
5. I love T.V. shows, movies, and writing (though I'm not very good at it)
6. I love watching certain shows meant for younger kids

Hi Chelsea,
Welcome to Newcomers Paradise.
I created this group and I still have no idea what I'm doing.
But if you want to chat, send me a message through goodreads or send me a message through Books Amino (see here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...)
If you have any ideas for the group, or anything you want to do together as a group, post a comment on the "Ideas for the Club" thread.
I'm happy to be in the group. Here's my answers:1. My favorite book is the Bible, since it has so many interesting stories about imperfect people who turned their lives around.
2. My favorite genre is murder mysteries, but recently I have enjoyed historical fiction.
3. I hope to have interesting virtual discussions about books and book suggestions.
4. I knew about Goodreads as a resource for book reviews, but when I got a mini iPad for Christmas, I discovered the app and the Overdrive app.
5. I also enjoy crocheting and am a freelance book indexer. I am currently indexing a book on golf.
6. Sometimes I practice accents or ventriloquism when no one is around!
