But we will give you a chance to try some new genres (and perhaps classics in the making) for sure.
Sounds like you've had a great summer so far - - we look forward to getting to know you. I think we have some fellow travelers here too!
Welcome, Natalie! You'll find this is a fun group!
Welcome! Are you the same Natalie from the Olympic reading challenge? It's a great group here! Hope you find lots of great new books!
Welcome, Natalie! This is a really fun group.
Yes, I am in the Olympic reading challenge and I am on your team, Jen!I found out about this group from the Olympic Reading challenge, in fact.
Thank you to all for the welcome messages.

Welcome! Looking forward to getting to know you.
Yay! Love when my worlds collide. Welcome! I think you will really like this group.
Welcome back Faith and Alle, and welcome Natalie. Also welcome anyone I may have missed
Natalie wrote: "Yes, I am in the Olympic reading challenge and I am on your team, Jen!"Actually, you're not on my team. I'm the Jen who is organizing the challenge. You have a Jennifer on your team with the same initials as me. It's all very confusing. I'm actually helping out on a different team :)
Oh, I see! Sorry about the confusion! Right now I am totally baffled. It's a world of Jen's out there!
Hi! I'm Jennifer (just to add to your confusion, I am none of the Jen's you previously discussed - lol) and I am on the Goodreads Olympic Challenge, and one of my team members is from this group. She told me about it and I thought it sounded cool, so here I am! I'm from Michigan and have a 2-year-old son that I'm currently potty training, so I'm exhausted and cranky always. :) And my husband is Australian. He works from home and I'm a stay at home mom, so lots of reading time.
Welcome Jennifer! We can never have too many! I hope you enjoy the group.
I finally found you! It's diamondgirl. Hiya

Mine sons are young adults now, and I've moved from exhausted and cranky to constantly worried. Not sure which is worse, lol.
Hopefully you will find some respite here!!

And welcome Katie!

At least I am not a JP - I'm a JM. So that should make it a bit easier. :) Out of curiosity, what are all the Jennifer's middle names? My husband is fascinated that every Jennifer we meet seems to be a Jennifer Lynn (like me), Jennifer Anne, Jennifer Marie, or Jennifer Leigh (Lee).

I always just list Jen when I enter my name b/c that was what I was over at Shelfari although I realized here my name is Jen P.
So long as you stick with the same "icon/avatar" I'm pretty good - - especially if you use a picture of yourself! I just worry people will change that, and then I won't have any clue.Generally, I am able to figure it out, but the BEST is if you can put your location in your profile. If I'm confused, I will look there and see where the person is from . . .which is usually a unique identifier I can actually remember.
Welcome to everyone old and new!As a person who joined PBT about a month before Shelfari made their closing announcement, I was just starting to learn the regulars before the switch. Couple the move with new names, avatars, and new members, and I have been totally lost. I tell myself it will come.

If I'm confused, I will look there and see where the person is from . . .which is usually a unique identifier I can actually remember."If you can add an initial after your first name, it's much easier for me when doing the raffle scoring. I usually just go through the discussion list on the group page, it's easier than paging through all the reviews. We have several Nicole's as well as Jennifer's and a few Linda's - which is why I went back to my Shelfari name.
If an initial doesn't work, a distinctive avatar is helpful.
Just my two cents.
But there are two Jen Ps which is why I ask unless she is going by Jennifer P
Jen wrote: "But there are two Jen Ps which is why I ask unless she is going by Jennifer P"Well I know your avatar, so that helps somewhat.
Katie wrote: "I finally found you! It's diamondgirl. Hiya"Hi, Katie! Welcome back!

Hello everybody!I'm from Poland. I am a student, who loves reading as much as can. In last year, I read about 300 books and it was the biggest number of books I've read. I read almost everything. :)

Welcome, Wiktoria!! So glad you found us. 300 books is INCREDIBLE. When do you study, lol? Are you a literature major?

Welcome! We want to hear about all those books.
Welcome, Wiktoria! I look forward to your reviews. You'll find this is a fun group!
Welcome Wiktoria, I love the way we do our book reads here. Instead of everyone reading the same book, we all read about the same topic. It is a great way to find out about interesting books.
Nice to have you here with us, Wiktoria! Welcome!

I think it's impossible to hear about all (because maybe I don't remember about all of them), but maybe about few :)

Anita, I could connect learning with reading. It was quite funny, but I don't remember how I did it. I'm not literature major. :D

Kathy, I love that kind of reading adventures :) I think it's something to me.
Hi Brandon, welcome to PBT! This is a fun group, we hope you'll agree!
I think I will like it when I can get to it and get familiar with it some more.
Brandon wrote: "I think I will like it when I can get to it and get familiar with it some more."Don't hesitate to reach out to us with questions, Brandon. You will find our members to be very helpful and happy to provide assistance.
Heyo, I'm Jessica - might be a little weird to call me Scrounger all of the time. ;)My reading interests are all over the place, but mainly, I tend to enjoy graphic novels, YA books, and poetry. Recently I've been reading a ton of children's literature because I've been working in a children's library, so that's introduced me to a whole other spectrum of reading. That's been fun.
This group looked really interesting, and feeds into my basic love of recommending books, so that's why I joined. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

My user name is Doulton---he was a cat. My "real name" is Natalie. In addition to reading, I like to travel but don't have any travels planned. I spent 5 weeks in London in May-June and consider myself very lucky!
I am looking forward to playing the game with you!
