Sarah | 18550 comments Oh my! I am laughing so hard right now. Travis. Goats. Blokes. This is hilarious.

Welcome to Pdy and Shannon. You'll find heaps going on in this group. Plenty of chat. Book related and non book related. And plenty of madness.

It's a great group here to interact with in my nsh opinion : )

jaxnsmom | 8341 comments Welcome Shannon! As you can see, besides reading we have plenty of fun with each other. ☺ When I'm in a rut being in this group helps - we have readers of just about every genre so I always end up finding something to pull me out.

Viji | 1513 comments Hi, I am Viji from Pondicherry, India. I love reading and needlework. I started participating in challenges only from last year. I like Year Long Challenges but sometimes I do bi-monthly or seasonal challenges. I still have difficulty in understanding the challenge rules, task requirements, finding books etc. but hope to improve gradually!!!

Sandra (sanlema) | 11293 comments Welcome, Viji! You'll see that the thread where the questions for the challenge are asked is huge. Everybody has doubts about it before finally getting it right. And it's a great excuse for chit chat. So don't worry!

jaxnsmom | 8341 comments Wow, get behind and see how many things you miss. Welcome Viji, Fee, Efflorescence, Kaitlin, and Carla! We have really fun activities, and I'm glad to see that some of you have jumped right in.


message 82: by Efflorescence (new)

Efflorescence | 20 comments Thank you all :)
Actually, I wonder how all of you can have so much time for reading. I always plan to read more, but most of the time it doesn't work.

We have readers who all read at various rates. Some are speed readers and some are a bit slower. We also have members who have the time while others are busy with children, jobs, and school. What's important is that you read at your own pace and what your schedule allows.


message 84: by MegMiller (new)

MegMiller | 10 comments Hi my name is Meg, I'm from the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Books, reading, and hot tea are my favorite things. Last year I found myself in a bit of a book rut, I can't wait to broaden my horizon's and chat about books with people who love them as much as I do!


message 85: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 60035 comments Hi Meg! Welcome. You've come to the right place to pull you out of a book rut!

...forever


message 87: by Tejas Janet (new)

Tejas Janet (tejasjanet) | 3513 comments Welcome to the group, Meg : ) We've all been there - in a rut reading-wise. It still happens to me sometimes, but this group always lifts me out of it pretty soon.


message 88: by jaxnsmom (new)

jaxnsmom | 8341 comments Welcome Meg! If you join any of our activities you'll probably find something to keep your interest :)


message 89: by Rusalka, Moderator (new)

Rusalka (rusalkii) | 19219 comments Welcome Meg! We'll have you out of that rut in no time!


message 90: by Margo (new)

Margo | 11664 comments Hi all. I am forever scratching my head when It is my turn to choose a book for my bookclub. We met last night to discuss The Weird Sisters which was generally well received. Next up is All the Light We Cannot See.

Not sure when I'll be up again, but I'd love a few great option ;-)


message 91: by Sandra, Moderator (new)

Sandra (sanlema) | 11293 comments Welcome Margo! All the Light we cannot See was a 5 stars for me. And made a great discussion in my book club meeting. I hope you enjoy it!

Rusalka (rusalkii) | 19219 comments Welcome Margo! Hopefully we can inundate you with ideas for your bookclub. As long as you promise to tell us all the good things you read for it too ;)


message 95: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 60035 comments Welcome Margo! Nice to see you here. :) My bookclub meets next Tuesday and we're discussing A Sudden Light. We read All the Light We Cannot See a few months back. You'd think we had a theme. LOL!


message 96: by Mimi (new)

Mimi | 16 comments Hi everyone! First of all Happy new year =).

I'm Mimi from France. What can I say about myself? I love reading but I think that's kind of obvious since I'm here ^^.

Anyway, I'm still studying and have a long way to go. That's why I might not be as present as I would like =(.

Back to books and reading, I've set my reading challenge to 60 books (maybe that's quite a lot idk ^^). And being in this group will widen my mind and make me discover new books =).

And I'm sorry if I make mistake in English, since it's not my mother tongue sometimes I don't realise I made a mistake...


message 97: by Sandra, Moderator (new)

Sandra (sanlema) | 11293 comments Welcome, Mimi! Many of us here speak English as a second language, nobody cares, don't worry about your mistakes. You can take a look at the first page of this thread. We have discussed (and laugh) already because of that.


message 98: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 60035 comments Welcome Mimi! I'm glad you've joined us. I'm glad you've joined us.


message 99: by Rusalka, Moderator (new)

Rusalka (rusalkii) | 19219 comments Welcome Mimi!


message 100: by Mimi (new)

Mimi | 16 comments Sandra: I have to admit that I haven't read all the 94 comments before mine ^^. But I did read some of them after putting my comment and I've realised it wouldn't be a problem at all :-).

Thank you for your reassurance and the welcoming :-).
