Hello there! My name is Maggie, and I'm a librarian mom of two from Muskoka. I have loved books for as long as I can remember, and my day just isn't complete without reading a chapter or three! Besides devouring a good book, my hobbies include singing, hiking, writing, and baking. I don't have a favourite genre, but I do tend to finish novels with some family drama quicker. ;) I look forward to making new friends and getting some excellent recommendations.

Hi, My name is Caroline and I live in Mumbai, India. I am a preschool Teacher by profession. I always loved reading but have discovered a passion for it a year ago. My favourite Author being Nicholas Sparks and my favourite book being “The Notebook” which is you guess it right written by Nicholas Sparks himself. But don’t get me wrong I am also open to all kinds of genres as long as it keeps me hooked on.A very big Hi to all in this groups. Looking forward to have a great time here.

Hi. My name is Sheri and I live in Guanajuato, Mexico. I am in a group that tracks progress by number of books, and that is fine, but I wondered if there was a group that went by number of pages read, as my reads last year varied from some Nero Wolfe novels under 200 pages each to a few books in the 700-900 range. Evidently I used the correct key words in my search, because I found this group! I am looking forward to tracking with you all, although I am usually not a very frequent poster.

Hey everyone! I'm Amanda and I live in rural Idaho. I've lived in Idaho my entire life, I have a degree in Agricultural Science from the University of Idaho and currently work as a Commodity Merchandiser for a global ag company. When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time with my boyfriend and his little brother, who lives with us, spending time with our critters and being outdoors. I have always loved to read. As a kid, I was the one who had her books taken away when she was grounded and spent many a night up way to late immersed in a Harry Potter book. If I'm not outside, you can find me on the couch, with a dog in my lap and a book in my hand. Thanks for the add! I look forward to seeing what you all are reading and trying out some new books!

Hope you have fun with us.
Hi I'm new to this group and have been on Goodreads since 07. I am 60 years old and a part time Library assistant in my home town. I have read books all my life and I really love classics novels. It has been my active hobby since I graduated from college in 93. I never married and take most of my good reading habits from my great grand mother. She was an active reader all her life too. I still have some of her books. I also like Theatre and collecting and they say I have a green thumb in the garden.

Hii, I’m Max and I’m a sophomore in hight school. I’m new to goodreads but though it would be great for new book recommendations and to track my reading. I used to read a lot as a kid but as I grew I kinda lost it. Last summer I tried to re-bond myself with books again but it’s been hard. I joined this group so that it hopefully motivates me.

If you have any questions, ask away.

Welcome, Dea! As Book Concierge mentioned, the monthly challenges are always fun. And it's interesting to see what others are reading! Glad you've joined us :)
Yikes, I just joined the group because I love the idea of counting pages rather than books. But, all the posts I see are from 2016-2020. Is the group still active? Anybody out there?
Mod
Yes, this is quite an active group, in fact. Not sure how you are only seeing posts from 2016-2020. How are you accessing the site? What browser are you using?
We have a monthly challenge - You can find January 2023's challenge HERE
We also encourage members to post reviews / ratings of books they've read. The new Review thread is HERE
Hey everyone. I’m new to Goodreads after getting a recommendation from a friend.I studied English (and Politics) at Uni many years ago and my first job outside of Uni was in a bookshop. I ended up managing the store in London and those were the best 5 years of my working life.
Now sadly working in a job that confines me to a desk I rely on my books for escapism more than ever.
I generally try to be open to all genres, and often go through phases of fiction and non-fiction.
Favourite author has to be Steinbeck. Read several of his books and loved every one.
Outside of reading I am happiest when travelling. Have so far been to 30 countries and love going somewhere new whenever I can.
Have also just had my own book published. It’s called “The Devastation of Dunelaw,” and I have added it to Goodreads in case anyone is interested. It’s for anyone from 12 years and above. I wrote it for my middle son during lockdown and it is a good old fashioned fantasy story, full of heart, intrigue and adventure. Hopefully, something for everyone.
Nice to meet you all.

We encourage members to post reviews of books they have read, and would welcome your input. Doesn't have to be scholarly or professional ... a couple of sentences will suffice.
We also have a monthly challenge just for fun (and it may help us clear the TBR mountains we all seem to have).
