Robin (robincarlton) | 21 comments Hi there!

I'm Robin, 35, mom to three and owner of an e-commerce digital scrapbooking site. I've been a member of Good Reads for a few months now and while I suck at blogging and the like, I seem to really love keeping up to date with what books I'm reading and what my friends are reading over here too!

TNBBC looks like a great group with lots of action, group reads and discussion, and I'm looking for a group of avid readers to get chatty with, so I thought I would jump in and join you guys.

My reading tastes are sorta all over the board - just finished The Mortal Instruments trilogy (YA, paranormal fantasy - LOVED it!) and now I'm jumping into Abundance: A Novel of Marie Antoinette (historical fiction) - so I'm hoping to get great suggestions on what else to read while getting to know you guys better.

So yeah... Hi!

Robin

Pumpernickel | 23 comments Man... (-.-) This place is simply HUGE...

As I said in the topic What Are You Reading
: "I'm typing from São Paulo, Brazil, where I live and teach 'Composition in English' to candidates who want a career in diplomacy here. I MUST read because of my job, but I am totally blessed, cause I LOVE to read. I read in English, French, and Portuguese, of course, my beauuuutiful native tongue."

I LOVE to exchange ideas about books and am VERY glad to have found you guys...

I am going to the beach ( Santos ) the day after tomorrow, for a one-week MUCH needed vacation, but I will come back on August , 2nd... But, of course, I still have tomorrow to visit the site !

Pumpernickel | 23 comments Lori,

THANKS, but I had to put off my trip exactly due to the weather : We've had this obnoxious, continuous rain, both here in São Paulo AND in Santos (the beach) ! Urrrrgh !

What have I been doing instead ? READING , of course ! (^.^) Heh...

I think -- and HOPE! -- I'll finally travel on Monday... But thanks for your wishes, anyway : I'll take them with me on the trip; who knows ? They might give me some luck !!!

Awww... sorry to hear about the crap weather. At least you have the luxury of putting it off and picking it back up when the weather clears :)


message 17: by Pumpernickel (new)

Pumpernickel | 23 comments Oh, of course this means that my trip will be SHORTER, I hope people understood this ! But it's OK, Lori. I'm on vacation, and I really needed the break !
