Yes, Bree! I really like how you talk to me. I would love a nice, cold champagne! It was actually 60 degrees here yesterday in Arctic Blast Land. Cheers to a very Happy New Year!

Hi A.S.! I'm getting my first novel ready for publishing in February. I have a full house of kids as well so I completely understand how hard it can be. Good luck with all of your books. Your head must be spinning with so many ideas! You should reveal your published book in this group. Search for the discussion. Have New Year!

[Jodie-Leigh]

Hey guys! I'm Jodie☺

I've been on Goodreads for a while now but only recently joined a group! I'm a serial reader (like, seriously, I'll read a book or two a day or I won't function right) and I don't write (tried, but that was a great fail of epic prepositions!!).

Thought I'd drop in and say "hi"... so... Hi!✌

Wow, Jodie!
And I thought I was a fast reader by reading one a week!
How do you do it?

[J.]

Welcome new people! I am so thrilled you've joined us. I cannot believe how big this group has grown. So awesome!!

Happy New Year to all of you!! *drank all the champagne so put out so more for everyone else ; )*

[Amanda]

Welcome, Valentin and Jodie! So glad you found us:)

If you have any questions trying to navigate, just ask, Valentin!

And awesome, Jodie, reading is so soothing sometimes for me.

*hands out goodie baskets* *puts more champagne out* It's New Year's Eve!!!! Yay!!! Although, it might even be New Year's Day for some of you so....Happy New Year! Let the confetti rain down!

Im a stay at home Mamma so i read in between taking care of my little one and cleaning! I dont watch television all that much as I'd prefer to get my head stuck in a book! One a week is pretty good though!

Thanks for the welcome Amanda!

It definitely is soothing. Nothing beats getting lost in a book and end up in your own little bubble!

[T.L.]

Eva, Margarita, Jodie-Leigh and Valentin; welcome <3
You don't have to be a writer. We love writers and readers equally in this group.

Happy New Year everyone (hands round leftover Champagne and Ferrero Rocher) :)
May 2017 bring you many books.

[Annie, The Mistress]

@Misses Eva, Margarita, Valentin & Jodie: Helloooo, welcome, and big-squeezy hugsss!!!

So sorry for the radio silence, everyone. I was in the middle nowhere then kinda sorta had a mishap with my only connection to society (a.k.a. my trusty iPhone haha) but I'm back now. Back, I say!

And I love you all. LOVE!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

Group hugs,
Ann

EDIT: Have apparently forgotten how to type LOL

[Tenza]

Hey! I'm Tenza (new to group)

In the middle of writing my first book and loving every minute of it. I have been reading and writing books since I was 13. My favorite author growing up with the infamous V.C. Andrews. I have too many favorites to list now. Looking forward to being part of this club. Happy New Year!

[Cass]

Happy New Year, everyone! Hello Eva, Margarita, Valentin, Jodie, & Tenza! (forgetting anyone?) I'm still pretty new, but I can vouch that this group is amazingly supportive. And they bake. A lot.

I hope 2017 is off to a great start for y'all (may as well reveal my Southern roots now). We got a puppy for Christmas and it's slowing my writing life down. But she's so darn cute I don't care. :)

[J.]

Happy New Year and welcome any new people I missed! Once again, I'm so happy you could all join our fantabulous group.

*big smile* I'm baking some cupcakes today, and my six year old plans on decorating them Powerpuff Girls style. *chuckles* I'll be sure to share!

[Jodie-Leigh]

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Also, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Sorry it's a day late, my not-so-trusty-iPad decided to give me grief all day because it's conspiring against me, I just know it!
Hope you all have an amazing year! <3

[Nalla]

Welcome Tenza!!

[India]

Almost back in action with you guys! In a few more days, I hand my manuscript over to editors... then I can BREATHE AGAIN!!!!! And all this with holidays and guests over? Whoooooeeeee!

[Sharron]

I finally joined GoodReads.
I live by the sea in my native Nova Scotia but have spent a few years living on the prairies. I write fiction and I started with romance novels. But I also like to write stories based on any and all possible human experiences. I'm also interested in stage and screen plays. It's a joy to see how others interpret what I have written. I would love to chat with others about writing and life experiences.

[J.]

Welcome new people!! So happy you're here to join us.
Um, what happened to all the food?!?
*sighs* *Places tray of goodies out for new people to enjoy*

[Sunny]

Hey group! I love writing and reading, absolutely loathe plot holes the size of the sun, weak women characters, typos, and poor grammar.

[Amanda]

Welcome, Sharron and Sunny! So glad you joined us:)

*hands out goodie basket*
*puts out a little more goodies*
Just in case the extras J put out wasn't enough. *wink*

[Annie, The Mistress]

Eeek! Sunny and Sharr!!

Get it? No? I'm being a complete dork again? Okay, fine...

*sigh*

Welcome to the party, ladies ^_~

Hugsss,

[Colleen]

Hello, all! I'm a reader.. if there were a bigger way to put that, I'd use a different word. I absolutely love romances. I read a lot of genres, but my main reviews and blogs end up being romance. I love finding an author that I love and tend to immediately dive into all of them. Ruth Cardello was my most recent. I discovered hers books and within less than 2 weeks I have read 7 of her books!

[Sunny]

Don't worry, Annie! I got you, Babe. :)

Welcome, Colleen! Yay for romance! I love reading it as much as I do writing it:)

*hands out goodie basket*

[T.L.]

Ooh eee India; good luck with your latest. Eep! :-)

Colleen you're exceptionally welcome here. There's a bookshelf shiwing our wares on the group page ;-)

Hello any newbies I've missed.
(*hands round fruit basket; new year diet*)

Ooh: I'm currently in a writing frenzy. Book 6 has received 6,304 words in 2 days!! :-)
This makes me very happy.
But it also makes me intermittent on here. I still loves ya though xx

[Ember-Raine, The Lady]

Congrats TL on the writing that's awesome! It's gonna be a couple months for me to start writing the third in my series! Got to much going on with my upcoming release! Congrats again though your sixth book? That's awesome!
Hugs!

[Stephanie]

Hi!

I've been here a few days now and there's been so much to see that I didn't even see the "Say Hello" tag so I'm saying hello now! I'm an aspiring writer as well as a blogger and writing my first book hoping that I can be finished by Spring. Most of all I'm an avid reader of Romance and Fantasy among other things.

I will enjoy getting to know everyone in the process!

[Ember-Raine, The Lady]

Hi Stephanie! Welcome to the Group!

[Sunny]

Anyone have a shortcut for seeing new comments? The GR app keeps dumping me at the beginning of the thread, with 1200+ comments to go before hitting new info. I'm really not thrilled with the way the app works vs. accessing through Chrome.

[Annie, The Mistress]

@Misses Sunny, Kristina, Ember: Thank you kindly for your acceptance, my lovely ladies! Psst!! *whispers* I'll have to pay y'all later haha!

@Miss Colleen: I dig your style, ma'am!

I'm totally like that too. I stumbled across Slammed and literally bought ALL of Colleen (great name, btw ^_~) Hoover's other books the second I finished it. Then read them one after the other. Obsessively. Yep.

@Miss Stephanie: Hellooo and welcome to the fun!!

@Miss Sunny again: *grumbles* The GR app sucks some serious balls *grumbles* Yeah, I'm no help LOL

Big-squeezy-group hugs,
Ann

If you're talking about the mobile app, you tell me and we'll both know. I don't think the feature exists; Goodreads' mobile app is truly terrible.

[Ember-Raine, The Lady]

It really is horrible! Half the time I don't even see all the words in a post because the app loses them... or something! It has been driving me crazy since I got a new phone last week! It is obnoxious and I am hoping they fix it soon!

What you asked about though the only way I have seen it work is if you click on the notification. Anything else sends you to the beginning! I know I have been having the same stupid problems! I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one!
