Another Newbie here

[Pam]

I have been on goodreads for a while, but just doing the basic book stuff. I am new to the whole group thing and posting stuff. I currently have four friends which are family members, but would love to interact with others as well. I used to never read much, but now I love to read and I look for any ideas that people have for good books.

Hi Pam,

Welcome to the group. Just get active in posting on the threads that interest you. You'll soon have lots of friends and your To Read shelf here will explode.

Hey Pam, Welcome!
Dan is right!

Hi Pam! I started out the same way and now I can't keep up with all the great suggestions that I've received. Everyone here is so nice! I know you'll enjoy the group. Welcome!

Pam, welcome to the group. We all started the same way... get into the threads, like Dan said, and before you know it you will be knee deep in new books to read !!

Hello everyone,I just signed up to goodreads because I am soon to become a first year high school teacher and am trying to find YA books that may help me be more informed about the students I will be with. Any suggestions

Hi there Pam and Larry. Larry - there is a good YA book group run by Fiona (look for avatar, a tweety bird) who is on TNBBC and there are always plenty of discussions here too.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Welcome Larry. If you pop over into the Recommendations thread.. you may find some good ones over there.

[Larry]

Thanks for the info Petra X and Lori

Welcome to the group!!!

[Haley]

Hi, I'm Haley! I just joined this group and I had a question:

Do I have to read all of the currently reading books?

[Pam]

Hello to everyone! And thanks for the suggestions. I look forward to the great books.

Larry: Good Luck with the teaching job. I wish you great success.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Hi Haley. I am not sure what you are asking. Do you want to know if you need to read the groups Current Group Reads in order to join? The answer is no. You are not required to read the books we have voted in each month, however, if one catches your eye, we would love to have you join us in the discussions.

Welcome to the group either way!
