Welcome to Play Book Tag, Gina! So glad you could join us. I love that a lot of Shelfarians are just now discovering us . . .

Please don't hesitate to reach out to the administrators or to our friendly warm membership if you have any questions.

[annapi]

Welcome, Gina! You'll find this is a fun group. Check out the PBT baseball game we are playing now - and join us in the next game the admins come up with!

So glad you found us!!! Did you go by the name, Brenda, on Shelfari too? I keep trying to match all the wonderful Shelfari folks with who they are now here at GR. I'm not very good at keeping it straight.

At any rate, WELCOME BACK!!!

[Margaret]

Welcome Brenda

Hi all! I didn't belong to the original Shelfari group but just found Play Book Tag on Goodreads today. Actually, I typed the word "theme" into the search function for groups, as I was looking for something to participate in that had a monthly theme versus a requirement to read a specific book. There are so many books I already own that would probably fit well with various themes, too.

Otherwise, I live in California, practice yoga on a regular basis and like many different book genres, although I tend to read more fiction than nonfiction.

[annapi]

Welcome, Lisa Ann! I think you'll find that this group is a lot of fun. It's very active, we play a lot of games, and the monthly tag gives you a lot of flexibility with reading. Jump right in!

Thank you, Annapi.

Welcome, Lisa Ann!! It's so cool that when you searched the way you did, you found us. I find that super reassuring :).

We are all in the same boat with HUGE TBR lists. We want to read off of those, but we also like to share with one another.

So glad you actually found us!!

[[deleted user]]

Thanks Anita! Thankfully the word "theme" is mentioned within the group's introductory description paragraph, which is why it appeared within the search results. Also yes, I have a huge tbr list too, especially kindle books. I feel I should be making more of an effort to read those. It will also be fun to see what other group members are reading. :)

[Ellen]

Welcome, Lisa Ann. I promise that your huge TBR list will grow by leaps and bounds with this group!

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Hi Lisa Ann. I also was not a Shelfari member, but have found this group very warm and friendly. I'm afraid it won't help reduce your TBR, however.

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. :)

Hi Lisa! :-)

[Jeremiah]

Hi all - Just joined the group but not really new, just been away for too long. I was a member years back on Shelfari. Good to see familiar names from my active days - Anita, Nicole (the science minded girl), LibraryCin, and others. it's good to be back with PBT.

[Barbara M]

Welcome to Lisa Ann and welcome back J. W.!

[LibraryCin]

Lisa Ann, there's no tbr reduction here! But, if you have a large tbr what this will do is help you focus and choose which to read next off your tbr! :-)

Welcome!

Hi, JW! What was your screen name at shelfari?

[Jeremiah]

Honestly LibraryCin, I don't even remember. maybe something with savage in it. Not sure.

[Anita]

I think it was Jeremiah! So glad you made your way back to us even if it took a few years!!

[Margaret]

Welcome to Lisa and JW

[LibraryCin]

Oh, Jeremiah! I remember you! Hi and welcome back!

[Jammin Jenny]

Hi all. I'm new to the group - just joined a minute ago actually. I love books, playing games, and talking about good books so I think I've found a good group to do this. I'm going to hunt around the group site and see if I can join in the April group tag - if not I'll get back in touch in May!

[Margaret]

Welcome Jenny. April's tag is such a broad one that you're sure to have at least a few on your tbr.

[annapi]

Welcome, Jenny, you definitely have found a good group. And don't wait to come back in May, just dive right in and join the conversations. Our baseball game is in reading mode right now, but you can check out the thread to see how we are playing it for when the 3rd inning starts in about a week. One of the best things about PBT, I found, is how active it is. The moderators are wonderful about keeping it lively. Have fun!

[Karin]

Welcome to all you new people who have joined recently!

Jenny, my sincere apologies for not stopping by sooner to give you a warm administrator welcome! So glad you found us and really hope you will jump in right away. However, we did just announce the May tag so please let us know what you will read and what you recommend to the rest of us!

Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions . . .or you will find our members are super helpful too!

[Barbara M]

Welcome Jenny!

[annapi]

Welcome, Genlady! You will add a TON of books to your TBR, I guarantee it!

[Denizen]

Welcome, Genlady. This is a great group for reading reviews and finding new books but also lets you work in a few you have already discovered!

Welcome Genlady, nice to see you jump right in. I too have been researching my ancestry for about 20 years, it's been interesting to say the least.

[Susie]

Hi Genlady!

Welcome, Genlady!! I hope you join us for many good reads and can't wait to hear what you learn about your heritage. Sounds fascinating!!

[Nicole R]

Welcome to PBT, Genlady! I see that you have already dove into the voting for the monthly tag -- that is great! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. PBT has great members and they are likely to respond before the admins :)
