Hey Scrounger, I mean Jessica!!! Welcome to PBT. We are so happy to have new members, and your interests will definitely expose us to some new arenas . . .I just finished a book called Just Kids and the author, Patti Smith, was a poet/musician. My favorite poet is Billy Collins. I keep saying I should try to read more poetry because I do enjoy it when I make the effort. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on poetry to explore.
Welcome, Jessica! This is a great group and I hope you enjoy it.
Hi Brandon and Jessica. I know you'll enjoy this group but your TBRs are going to grow like you wouldn't believe!
Haha, other Jennifer P./Jen P....I think when I post it just says Jennifer??? My middle name is Nicole. I'm Natalie's teammate on the Olympics challenge. I will figure out how to update my profile name to Jennifer P. I go by Jen/Jennifer/Jenny with different people. My last name is also pretty common and my email address is just my first and last name so I'm constantly getting confused for other people.
Whatever you put in the FIRST NAME slot on your profile is what appears in the the little banner.

Glad to see you again, Faith! Welcome, Wiktoria!

Hello everyone. I'm Ashley & I'm new to your group. I wanted to belong to a group of people who love to read, but don't pressure you to do it. I found yours & am giving it a go. The hole "monthly themes" thing seems very neat, & I'm excited to try my first. On a personal note, I'll be 26 on 9/11/16. I live in Minnesota on a farm with about 4 acres. We just bought the place a year ago so we're learning the land. We have a massive garden & enough apple trees to feed our small town.
Growing up, I hardly ever read. I found it to be a bit nerdy. When I did read, I loved it. I wish I had read more.
As I got a bit older, I thought I only liked romance stories. Then I read a book about zombies & it opened me up to more genres.
I read very random things. I don't have just a few genres I like. For instance, today I finished a chick-lit book about online love (Chat Love) & also finished Tuesday's with Morrie. (Two books in one day is not normal! I take my time.)
My favorite book of all time? Can I say "The Notebook?" I also really loved "Wild." I just finished "Me Before You" recently & that was very good. I feel like I will never even come close to being able to say "I've read a lot of books." It is so overwhelming how many books are out there. I want to read them all.
Enough of me. Let's get to reading!
Welcome to PBT, Ashley! We're all about having fun while reading.

And we are very low pressure so I think you've found the right place!
I'm a fan of Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail myself so look forward to learning more about your reading likes and dislikes in the future.

Welcome, Ashley! You will find that this group has a knack for expanding one's reading horizons. Have fun!
Thanks for the greetings, all. Glad to be here.
Welcome, Ashley! I think you will like our group of friendly people. And a Happy Early Birthday to you.
Welcome Ashley, the whole reading a category instead of a particular book is fun. It introduces you to so many interesting books that you may never have heard of before. I am not a big reviewer but I love to read everyone else's reviews. Oh, and my TBR list has exploded!

Hey, I'm Colleen! I was born and raised in Virginia, but I am currently studying in Northern France. I've never joined a group on Goodreads before, but I hope I'll find a nice place here.My favorite book is The Unbearable Lightness of Being, and I speak French and English (obviously)! Nice to meet you all :)

Welcome, Colleen!!! We are so honored to be your first group and hope you find that you enjoy it. How amazing to be studying in northern France!
At any rate, please don't hesitate to reach out to any of the administrators or members if you have any questions. We just announced the new tag for next month, so hopefully you will find a book that fits the theme of "animals" and join in the fun :).
Welcome, Colleen! I've joined other groups but this is the only one I stay active in. I think you'll find that it's a lot of fun! Just jump right in!

Hi - I'm new to Goodread Groups and this one is my first to join. Happy to be here and interested to learn about "tags".
Hi,I'm Susan, known as Suetu to some. I was an active member of the Shelfari community for a few years. Unfortunately, my work life has devoured all "screwing around on the internet time," so I visit infrequently these days. Still, it's so nice to see you guys!
I'm glad I've finally visited/joined the Goodreads group. It looks like it's worked out well. Not the same, but not terrible. Congrats on getting the community back up and humming along.
Susan
Welcome to the group, Colleen. You will meet some wonderful people here and your TBR will grow enormously!

Hi Marnie!! Welcome to PBT. So happy you found us and chose us to join first. That's so nice!!
Our upcoming tag for November will be animals. I hope you can find a book that fits that theme on your "to-read" list and will join us in reading and sharing our favorite animal books.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to myself or any of the members here if you have any questions at all.
As a total aside, your last name is the name of the town I grew up in, lol!
Susan, good to see you again! Looking forward to more activity from you!Marnie, sorry I didn't see you there at first, but welcome to PBT! This is a fun group, jump right in!

Welcome, Susan!
Hello there! I'm Kathryn. I'm twenty-six, live in Oregon and I'm disabled, which leaves me with a lot of free time to read. Currently I'm a student, learning Russian with the hope of becoming an interpreter. As a result, my reading list is about to become heavily focused in Russian history and literature.
This group sounds like just what I've been looking for! I hate needing to get a specific book during a set period of time, so the flexibility this group offers is fantastic. I look forward to getting to know the community!
I love reading just about anything I can get my hands on. I have a strange habit of reading multiple books at once. I’m often working on half a dozen different books in various genres. I love a lot of the classics. The Count of Monte Cristo is my all time favorite book. I’m also a huge fan of Dostoevsky, Dickens, Nabakov, Steinbeck; Poe; Heinlein; Asimov; Neil Gaiman, Douglas Adams; Terry Pratchett; Philip K. Dick; Kurt Vonnegut; George R.R. Martin; Chuck Palahnuik; Lois McMaster Bujold and Tamora Pierce.
I’m a huge history fan. My favorite history set is an eleven volume set spanning from our earliest knowledge of civilization, all the way up through Napoleon’s time. It’s called The Story of Civilization by Will and Ariel Durant.
Sci-fi and fantasy are my favorite "easy reads". I don't tend to read mystery, romance or westerns often, but I'm always open to broadening my horizons.
Welcome, Kathryn!Welcome back to the group, Susan!
Welcome, Kathyrn! The flexibility of the reading of this group, as well as the wonderful people, are what make it so great and fun. Dive right in, and I'm sure you will end up trying books beyond your boundaries as most of us have!
Welcome to PBT, Kathryn. We're happy to have you join us.
