[Kayla]

Hey guys, I'm Kayla...Completely and utterly a boring 18 year old American girl. I like horror, and Victorian Romances way too much, but tend to spend my hours with my guitar, a good book, or some paints. My goal this summer is to read as much as possible before my freshmen year in college, while also exploring my own mind and finding a new, wholistic way to living.

[Jade]

Welcome! :)

[Kayla]

Awe u guys are too sweet

[Jade]

I liked your intro, so full of lovely propositions! Not boring at all, seems to me ;)

Welcome, and what makes you boring? I ask because one summer I met someone from New Zealand (such a cool place I'd love to visit) who told me that each of her siblings had been born in other countries, but she'd been born in boring, old New Zealand. The US is cool and exotic to many.

[Mariel]

Hello everyone!
I joined Goodreads today and I'm liking a lot.
I have a basic level of English so a translator is my best ally at this time. I'm from Mexico, a town called Tampico is on the Gulf Coast.
I'm lately obsessed with dystopias. But I would like to read more classics and psychological thriller books.
I love happy endings!!!!
I have an internal conflict when there is no happiness at the end for the main character.

I'm writing too much :s
This weekend start reading "The Elite" by Kiera Cass.
The next week I expect a visit postman with "All the boys I've loved before." by Jenny Han.

Greetings to all!

[Samantha]

Hi all!
My name is Samantha, I am a children's librarian from Long Island, New York.
I am trying harder to be more inclusive when it comes to my taste in books, but I really do enjoy bestselling novels, and biographies the most.
I am currently reading The Island by Elin HIlderbrand, and recently finished Big Little Lies, What Alice Forgot and the Help. I have both Neil Patrick Harris and Michael Strahan's books on my to read shelf, along with a long list of others.
The last I checked, I think I was aiming to read 26 books for 2016, although my main goal is to just read, as often as possible, and possibly keep track of the books I have completed.

I look forward to participating in a regularly active group (all the other groups I have joined so far seem to not be as active as I was initially hoping) !

[Mariel]

Hi Sameeksha :) i liked very much too The Girl on train! And Hi Samantha :) how is it The Island? I'm currently reading The Elite, you probably already read because it isn 't recent but i'm enjoying it a lot.
Sorry for my english, enjoy your reading! :) Regards!!

[Abhiram]

Hi guys,
My name is Abhiram, I'm from India. Currently i'm doing my masters in mechanical engineering. I started reading only a few months ago, boy I have to say i'm loving it. My interests are science, fantasy, self help, non-ficton. Currently i'm reading mans search for meaning by Viktor E Frankl.

[Winter, Group Reads]

Welcome everyone :) I look forward to getting to know you ! I hope you have all gotten to read some great books already this year :)

[Kadisha (paperbackpassionista)]

Greetings Everyone. I am Kadisha Rollins and I'm new here!!! I am a fourth year Business Administration student and I'm overjoyed that I will be graduating on April 29, 2017.

I have a passion for and a deep connection to romance and erotica novels. I guess you can say I'm a sucker for a good love story. Currently I am reading Manwhore and I have a feeling that its going to become one of my favorites.

I like meeting new people and making new friends. So I am excited to get to know each and everyone of you.

Happy Reading (:

[Winter, Group Reads]

Welcome to both of you! :)

[Liz]

Hi everyone! My name is Liz (or Lizzie) and I live in SW Florida. I'm single, stay with my parents, have a chihuahua and 2 tabby cats. :)

I'm currently doing a 2016 Book Challenge and, while I've fallen behind on it (BAD LIZ!), it's also gotten me away from my regular authors such as Nora Roberts, Debbie Macomber, Jodi Picoult, Kristin Hannah, Susan Wiggs, Elin Hilderbrand, etc. I have read books and have LIKED and LOVED books that I normally would never have read before. I'm learning that stepping outside of your comfort zone when it comes to reading can be a really cool thing.

I *won't* delve into hardcore romance/erotica or horror type books, though. I have to draw the line somewhere lol.

[Imane]

Hi my name is Imane i"m 19, and i'm from morocco
i am the kind of girls who loves classic romance books
but i wanted to read something different and new so i chose to follow the themes of the 2016 read challenge
i thought it'll give me the oppotunity to read new books, books i never thought i'll read or even like
also, i hope this would improve my english cause i was used to read in french

[Wormichon]

Hi everyone!
I'm Mimi and I'm from India. Love to read anything that i can get my hands on. Would love it if you have book any recommendations for me

[Sarelle]

Ayye people!
Sarelle here! I'm from Lebanon (I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't heard of it) and I'm 16.
I like to read young-adult books mostly, but romance novels do no harm.
I found this group while browsing Goodreads groups and wanted to join you people!
Unfortunately, I decided to go with 10 as a reading goal this year, and I'm halfway through!

[Sarelle]

Hey Mimi! I'm new here, too. i recommend "Before i Fall" by Lauren Oliver and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (if you haven't read them already)

[Eline]

Hellooo, I'm Eline. I'm new here! So yeah.. hi.
I like to read YA-books. Mostly contemporary, fantasy or distopian.
I recommend to read The Selection by Kiera Cass and We Were Liars by E. Lockhart!

[Eline]

[Hannah]

Hi everyone,

I'm Hannah. I'm and English Literature and History student from NZ.

I have had a passion for reading and books from since I can remember. I think this developed from when my mother used to read to me before bed.

I'm really up for reading anything, but I do like a good classic, adventure, culture or crime novel.

I spend a lot of time reading as an English literature student, so a lot of the books I review are classics or are NZ based authors.

Please add me as a friend and follow me on Twitter @ABookwormsLife

:)

[Elizabeth]

Hello my fellow book lovers! Or from where I'm from: Hey Y'all!

** I enjoy classic lit, philosophy, psychology, New & contempary adult, fantasy, paranormal, books on true U.S. & world history, social, political & economic injustice (U.S. & world) (((The new Jim Crow : mass incarceration in the era of colorblindness by Michelle Alexander IS a must read))) mystery, dark romance, books on various types & history of religions, various types of spirituality books, holistic (new age, chakras, reiki healing, auras, ascension)....so yeah pretty much anything except horror (suspense is okay ).

**I found your group from a member or authors page when searching for books to add to my future reading list.

* I read A LOT I think I set my goal at 250 this year and I'm half way there.

[Madilynn]

Hi everyone my name is Madison. This is my first group that I am joining here on Goodreads. I am from Oklahoma and I absolutely love to read. I like to read a variety of books. It kinda depends on how I am feeling at the time. I have a reading goal of 100 books set for myself for this year. I just recently graduated with another college degree and will be sitting for a license exam as a Physical Therapy Assistant next week. I am looking forward to more free time to enjoy life and devour a ton of books after I finish.

[Furrawn]

Welcome, everyone!
Happy reading!

[Kellie]

Hi everyone! My name is Kellie. I am a youth and children's librarian from Georgia. I read a little bit of everything. I usually wind up reading more YA than anything because my job requires me to be kept up-to-date-oh darn ;). I also really enjoy fantasy, science fiction, thriller/mystery, and historical fiction. I am obsessed with Arthurian literature and anything to do with Scotland! I joined this group as a way to narrow down my TBR pile (okay, shelf. Well, shelves!) I have too many books and I need a direction to steer it in! I also love to talk books and I don't get enough time to talk about the more adult books at work!

[Simon]

Kia Ora, I'm Simon and I'm from Aotearoa, New Zealand, or Middle Earth - whatever you want to call it.

In the past few years, I haven't been reading much. I blame high school for that. But now, as a budding BA student of English and history, I want to get back into reading as much as possible. I'll give almost anything a go but am mainly interesting in historical fiction (especially ones involving time travel), crime thrillers, and classical literature.

I think I found this group by browsing the "Community" tab to be honest. I also know someone else who is a part of this group too, though.

My reading goal is simply to get back into something I love - which is books. I set a minimum of 10 books to read this year but it looks like I'll probably surpass that. I've decided I'll read at least one book a month, though.

So that's me. I'm open to chatting and making new friends. Happy reading.

[Nick]

Hi guys, I was here but I left (had to take a break), but now I'm back again!

Where are you from?
I live in London, England.

What kinds of books do you like to read?
Anything really: from fiction to non-fiction, ranging in a wide variety.

How did you find our group?
As I said, I was here before so that's how I found this group.

What's your reading goal?
Last year, I managed to just read over 80 books - I think it was 82 or 83 - so this year I've set myself a goal of 100 books and I'm almost at 80 books.

[Kadijah Michelle]

Welcome everyone! It's so interesting to see where you all are from. Sarelle, my husband is from Palestine, a neighbor to Lebanon. Eline, I lived in the Netherlands for three years, and Hannah, New Zealand is on my bucket list to see before I die!
I'm here in Pennsylvania now looking forward to my next adventure which is looking like a trip to the Middle East right now.
Eid Mubarak to our new Muslim members, and happy 4th to our American members.
I hope you all enjoy our group.

[Andrea]

Hi!

I'm from California and I love all kinds of books: fantasy, classic, sci-fi, biographies, fiction, non-fiction, history, etc.

Excited to have a group to share this with! I've been a bit lazy with reading lately so I needed a little motivation to watch less Netflix (as it's rotting my brain and imagination) and I'm hoping joining this group will help :)

[Surupa]

Hi! I'm Surupa and have set my target for 20 books this year, and have finished 8 so far. My real goal for this year was to read different genre books, as I'm a girl who sticks to mystery and crime thrillers a lot more than anything else. So far I've read romantic, non fiction, crime, and funny drama, and I am hoping to widen range. Any suggestions for any kind of books, except maybe non fiction of political sort, as I still haven't found the edge in me to read that sort of a book, are welcome!

Looking forward to completing the challenge!

[Kaleen]

Hi, I'm Kaleen and I'm from Arizona.

I like dystopian, action, drama, horror, and fictional books in general.

I found this group while looking for an amazing reading group and I found one!

My reading goal for 2016 is at least 60 books and I am currently at 33.

[Sara]

Hello, my name is Sara. I live in Virginia. I love to read and looking for some friends that enjoy reading as well. I am looking forward to trying challenges and more.

[Ilona]

Hey There :)
I'm Ilona and I'm from South Africa! I am SO happy I found this group!!

I mostly read Young Adult & Contemporary. I do also enjoy Fantasy a lot!

My reading goals for 2016 is to read 100 books.
As of today I have read 56 books this year! (Yay me!)

[Rebecca]

Hi Guys! I'm new to the group here. I am 21 years old and from Connecticut. I joined because I don't really have many friends on here and wanted some people to talk about books! I mostly just read novels. I love historical fiction, mysteries and memoirs. I love to see what other people are reading and I love new reccomendations :)

[Leilani]

Hello all! I am from the Pacific NW. Growing up, I had a more eclectic taste in genre. Scary, funny, suspense, coming of age, etc. Nowadays, I'm more into mystery, suspense, thriller, scary and for some reason, I have become insanely picky about what I read. And sadly, I'm not one of those brave people that can trudge through a book that they end up deciding isn't their cup of tea.

Unfortunately, I have a small goal of 10 books for the rest of this year. I would like to exceed that goal though.

[Kaiya]

Hey there!

My name is Kaiya and I currently live just outside of Toronto Canada. I love reading any type of Genre but especially love Mystery, Horror and Thrillers.

I was just browsing around and came across this group! Seems perfect for me. I just moved out of the downtown area and have started a new commute into the city for work so I’ll have plenty of free time on my hands for reading. My goal is to read at least 2 books a month, if not more!

Please pass along any book recommendations, I’d love some suggestions!
